+*   ActionCable's `redis` adapter allows for other common redis-rb options (`host`, `port`, `db`, `password`) in cable.yml.
+
+    Previously, it accepts only a [redis:// url](https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/redis) as an option.
+    While we can add all of these options to the `url` itself, it is not explicitly documented. This alternative setup
+    is shown as the first example in the [Redis rubygem](https://github.com/redis/redis-rb#getting-started), which
+    makes this set of options as sensible as using just the `url`.
+
+    *Marc Rendl Ignacio*
+
 *   ActionCable socket errors are now logged to the console
 
     Previously any socket errors were ignored and this made it hard to diagnose socket issues (e.g. as discussed in #28362).
