3.4.20

Stability improvements

• Do not abandon a connection attempt before ConnectTimeout has elapsed by @mgravell in #3277
• Read HELLO "server" before trusting "version" as the Redis API version by @mgravell in #3279
• Sentinel soft-fail follow-ups: discovery failure as RedisConnectionException, late sentinel init, clear LastException by @mgravell in #3280
• Sentinel: re-resolve the primary when it is demoted on a healthy connection by @rebaseandpanic in #3281
• Route as a cluster only with a slot map; take HELLO mode/role from the interactive connection only by @mgravell in #3285
• Fail connection-dropped commands with RedisConnectionException, never a raw transport exception or a cancellation by @mgravell in #3287
• Connection groups: a member answering LOADING triggers an immediate re-probe and re-select by @mgravell in #3289
• IBatch: complete commands refused by a poisoned connection; divert a batch's tail on reconnect by @mgravell in #3286
• Give multi-message sub-commands and injected prefix commands a write time by @mgravell in #3293
• Send primary-only commands to the primary when the caller prefers a replica by @AsadIqbal-Dev in #3291
