 # Release Notes
 
+# 9.18.0-beta.1 (2025-12-01)
+
+## 🚀 Highlights
+
+### Request and Response Policy Based Routing in Cluster Mode
+
+This beta release introduces comprehensive support for Redis COMMAND-based request and response policy routing for cluster clients. This feature enables intelligent command routing and response aggregation based on Redis command metadata.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Command Policy Loader**: Automatically parses and caches COMMAND metadata with routing/aggregation hints
+- **Enhanced Routing Engine**: Supports all request policies including:
+  - `default(keyless)` - Commands without keys
+  - `default(hashslot)` - Commands with hash slot routing
+  - `all_shards` - Commands that need to run on all shards
+  - `all_nodes` - Commands that need to run on all nodes
+  - `multi_shard` - Commands that span multiple shards
+  - `special` - Commands with custom routing logic
+- **Response Aggregator**: Intelligently combines multi-shard replies based on response policies:
+  - `all_succeeded` - All shards must succeed
+  - `one_succeeded` - At least one shard must succeed
+  - `agg_sum` - Aggregate numeric responses
+  - `special` - Custom aggregation logic (e.g., FT.CURSOR)
+- **Raw Command Support**: Policies are enforced on `Client.Do(ctx, args...)`
+
+This feature is particularly useful for Redis Stack commands like RediSearch that need to operate across multiple shards in a cluster.
+
+### Connection Pool Improvements
+
+Fixed a critical defect in the connection pool's turn management mechanism that could lead to connection leaks under certain conditions. The fix ensures proper 1:1 correspondence between turns and connections.
