- version update to 3.4.1
* 3.4.1
* Move the username argument in the Redis and Connection classes to the
end of the argument list. This helps those poor souls that specify all
their connection options as non-keyword arguments. #1276
* Prior to ACL support, redis-py ignored the username component of
Connection URLs. With ACL support, usernames are no longer ignored and
are used to authenticate against an ACL rule. Some cloud vendors with
managed Redis instances (like Heroku) provide connection URLs with a
username component pre-ACL that is not intended to be used. Sending that
username to Redis servers < 6.0.0 results in an error. Attempt to detect
this condition and retry the AUTH command with only the password such
that authentication continues to work for these users. #1274
* Removed the __eq__ hooks to Redis and ConnectionPool that were added
in 3.4.0. This ended up being a bad idea as two separate connection
pools be considered equal yet manage a completely separate set of
connections.
* 3.4.0
* Allow empty pipelines to be executed if there are WATCHed keys.
This is a convenient way to test if any of the watched keys changed
without actually running any other commands. Thanks @brianmaissy.
#1233, #1234
* Removed support for end of life Python 3.4.
* Added support for all ACL commands in Redis 6. Thanks @IAmATeaPot418
for helping.
* Pipeline instances now always evaluate to True. Prior to this change,
pipeline instances relied on __len__ for boolean evaluation which
meant that pipelines with no commands on the stack would be considered
False. #994
* Client instances and Connection pools now support a 'client_name'
