You should use node v15 or higher. The last version [email protected] has some breaking changes for the node v14. Also node v14 is deprecated and I suggest you to use v16 or v18 which is LTS for now. Or you can fix your redis to 4.6.0 as a temporary solution.

while i agree that we should all be updating our EOL node versions, patch versions should not introduce breaking changes. i would call dropping support for older node versions a breaking change.

This is a breaking change and should be rolled back.

Can you guys please do a major or minor release if you are updating something that'll break people's working stuff? All morning our builds are failing and while I do agree people should keep their stuff up to date and you do that too, which is great but make major or minor update so it doesn't screw up 100,000 applications that are using this and running fine...
