This commit marks the start of works for the next major release of
Predis which will bring various breaking changes needed to polish the
internal design making the library even more flexible to use or extend
and, more importantly, almost stable in terms of API.
The Redis commands API exposed by Predis\Client is not going to change
much if not at all which is a good news. The most immediate changes
affecting developers will involve the renaming of a few namespaces and
classes, the removal of some previously deprecated classes and methods
and some tweaks to the current abstractions.
Right now the plan is to have a fast paced development to release this
version as soon as possible, ideally a few weeks later than Redis 2.8,
then wait to see the final definition of redis-cluster so that we can
tweak our code if needed and finally hit the v1.0.0 milestone with as
few changes as possible. Furthermore, v1.x will most likely be the
last version of Predis supporting PHP 5.3 as we will start migrating
to PHP 5.4 (or even 5.5) with v2.x, which is not going to happen soon
anyway.
