This change targets only method annotations and aims to make the body
of tests more readable using the @requiresRedisVersion annotation.
Tests using this annotation requires to be assigned the "connected"
group of tests because they create a connection to the Redis instance
specified in phpunit.xml to fetch its the version.
This is a quick example of how this annotation can be used:
/**
* @group connected
* @requiresRedisVersion >= 2.8.9
*/
public function testExecutedOnlyWithMatchingRedisVersion()
{
}
Future improvements (currently not needed) include:
* Same annotation working on a class-level (but still applied only
to test methods with an explicitly assigned @group connected).
* Ability to specify a version range.

Status response objects are needed mostly to make it possible from the
client perspective to differentiate a status response with the payload
"OK" from a normale bulk reply containing "OK".
The biggest change is for commands returning +OK responses: these were
previously translated to TRUE (bool value), but they are now returned
as instances of Predis\Response\Status. Just to illustrate an example
of the possibilities with this change we will use SET since it is the
most widely used command returning +OK:
$response = $client->set('foo', 'bar');
echo $response; // 'OK'
$response == 'OK'; // TRUE
isset($response->ok); // TRUE
$response == true; // TRUE
$response === true; // FALSE
$response instanceof Predis\Response\ObjectInterface; // TRUE
$response instanceof Predis\Response\Status; // TRUE
For those checking responses returned by commands such as SET or PONG,
the breaking change basically lies in the usage of strict comparison:
doing $response === true will now evaluate to FALSE instead of TRUE.
By default Predis caches common status responses such as OK or QUEUED
to lower the memory usage when using pipelines or transactions.
We now have a base test case class for Predis (namely PredisTestCase)
grouping various commonly used utility methods shared by all of the
tests in the suite, greatly improving reusability.
