+- Update to version 2.8
+  + redis-py should play better with gevent when a gevent Timeout is raised.
+  + Added SENTINEL command
+  + Fixed a bug where pipelines could potentially correct a connection
+    if the MULTI command generated a ResponseError.
+  + Connections now call socket.shutdown() prior to socket.close() to
+    ensure communication ends immediately per the note at
+    http://docs.python.org/2/library/socket.html#socket.socket.close
+  + Lock checks are now based on floats rather than ints.
