  redis backend, which adds lock_timeout
  and lock_sleep arguments to the RedisBackend.

• [feature] Added new methods CacheRegion.get_or_create_multi()
  and CacheRegion.cache_multi_on_arguments(), which
  make use of the CacheRegion.get_multi() and similar
  functions to store and retrieve multiple keys at once while
  maintaining dogpile semantics for each.
