Hedis 0.16.0 pre release

After many years of not releasing hedis (minor release in 2023).

I’m trilled to announce 0.16 version is a release candidate available on Hackage. This version contains all pending PRs accumulated for the last years as well as patches from multiple vendors that were kept in the forks. I want to explicitly mention Juspay, Mercury and Scrive for their contributions related to the cluster and new versions support.

New version includes:

• multiple fixes to cluster support,
• multiple fixes for connections leakage in disaster cases,
• command support for Redis 7,
• CI was fully restored and how support modern versions of compiler in and both cluster and single node scenarios.

As this release contains multiple breaking changes it was not directly released, but first uploaded as a candidate. So everyone has time for feedback and suggestions of what they miss, and want to see in this release.

I plan to gather all the feedback for a week or two and after that publish a release.
