Improve the Health Facts of the GitHub repository microsoftarchive/redis.

AwesomeRepos measures facts about how a repository is maintained, released, secured, and documented. Its page for this repository is https://awesomerepos.com/microsoftarchive/redis. A change to the repository can improve each of the 5 items below. Each item gives the measured fact or score, and a task.

1. A release in the last 365 days
   Fact: Newest release win-3.2.100 on 2016-07-01, 3786 days ago. 0 releases in the last 365 days.
   Rule: The newest published GitHub release (a pre-release counts; a draft does not) is 365 days old or less. A repository that publishes only tags, or only to a package registry, has no GitHub release. The release refresh reads the 10 newest releases after each push to the repository, and at least each 30 days. The index refresh reads the date of the last push each day.
   Task: Prepare a release, but do not publish it. Find the changes since the newest release, propose the next semantic version and the release notes, and ask me to publish the GitHub release. If nothing changed since the newest release, skip this item. If the project publishes only to a package registry, add a CI step that also makes a GitHub release for each version tag.

2. The newest release tag is a semantic version
   Fact: The newest release tag is win-3.2.100.
   Rule: The tag of the newest release has the form 1.2.3 or v1.2.3, with an optional pre-release or build part. There is no data when the repository has no release.
   Task: Make the next release tag a semantic version (1.2.3 or v1.2.3). Do not change or delete a published tag. If a release tool makes the tags, configure it for semantic versions, and write the version scheme in the contributing guide.

3. A changelog file at the root
   Fact: No changelog file at the root (GitHub, 2026-11-12).
   Rule: The root of the default branch has a file named CHANGELOG, CHANGES, HISTORY, NEWS, RELEASE, or RELEASES, with no extension or with .md, .markdown, .rst, .txt, or .adoc. Release notes on GitHub releases do not count.
   Task: Add CHANGELOG.md at the root of the default branch. Write one section for each published release, newest first, from the GitHub releases, the Git tags, and the commit history. Do not invent changes. If the project uses a release tool (for example Changesets, release-please, or semantic-release), configure it to update this file for each release.

4. A security policy
   Fact: GitHub finds no security policy (GitHub, 2026-11-12).
   Rule: GitHub finds a security policy (SECURITY.md in the repository or in the owner's .github repository).
   Task: Add SECURITY.md at the root or in .github/. Say which versions get security fixes and how to report a vulnerability privately. If GitHub private vulnerability reporting is on, point to it. Ask me for the contact; do not invent one.

5. A code of conduct
   Fact: GitHub finds no code of conduct (GitHub, 2026-11-12).
   Rule: GitHub finds a code of conduct in the repository or in the owner's .github repository.
   Task: Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md at the root with the Contributor Covenant 2.1 text. Change only the contact method. Ask me for the contact; do not invent one.

Rules for this work:
- Each file must be true for this project. Do not copy text that does not apply to it.
- Do not choose a licence, a contact, or a release version for me. Ask me.
- Do not publish a release, change a repository setting, or push to the default branch. Make the changes on a new branch.
- Keep each change small, and run the checks of this repository before you finish.
- At the end, list each item as DONE, SKIPPED (with the reason), or NEEDS A DECISION (with the question).
