- * added support for configuring multiple Memcached servers in one DSN
+ * added support for connecting to Redis clusters via DSN
+ * added support for configuring multiple Memcached servers via DSN
  * added `MarshallerInterface` and `DefaultMarshaller` to allow changing the serializer and provide one that automatically uses igbinary when available
  * added `CacheInterface`, which provides stampede protection via probabilistic early expiration and should become the preferred way to use a cache
  * added sub-second expiry accuracy for backends that support it
