Redis 2.4.5 Windows port ready

[dmajkic]

Redis 2.4.5 is ready.

Windows notice:

Still won't fork().

Background saving operations are supported as foreground
on windows, so it is advised to turn off automatic saving,
and call SAVE and SAVEAOF manualy when needed.

Forked source is at:

Windows binary files (both 32bit and x64) are hanging at:

Direct download link for 2.4.5 binaries:

Could this be emulated the same way as Perl emulates fork() on Windows -
namely creating copies of the various necessary global variables,
spawning a new thread and passing in the copies to the thread?

As was discussed in another thread, you run into problems with the
"point in time" guarantee of syncing when you have threads
reading/writing data. You can see the earlier thread here:
