+- update to 1.53:
+  *  Fixing set_multi() so that if the server closes the connection
+     it will no longer raise AttributeError.  Issue found and resolution
+     reviewed by Ben Hoyt.
+  *  readline() now will mark the connection dead if the read fails.
+     It was just closing it before.  This is related to the set_multi()
+     change but worth noting separately.  Thanks to Ben Hoyt.
+  *  Changing check_keys to use re.match() instead of str.translate(),
+     because re.match() works with Python < 2.6.
+     Found by Giovanni Di Milia.
