-## Planned breaking changes:
-* `Redis#client` will no longer expose the underlying `Redis::Client`;
-  it has not yet been determined how 4.0 will expose the underlying
-  functionality, but we will make every attempt to provide a final minor
-  release of 3.x that provides the new interfaces in order to facilitate
-  a smooth transition.
-
-* Ruby 1.8.7 (and the 1.8 modes of JRuby and Rubinius) will no longer be
-  supported; 1.8.x entered end-of-life in June of 2012 and stopped receiving
-  security updates in June of 2013; continuing to support it would prevent
-  the use of newer features of Ruby.
+# 4.0 (unreleased)

+* Removed `Redis.connect`. Use `Redis.new`.
