- update to 1.1.8:
* Moved the MemcacheArgs.dead_retry argument and the
MemcacheArgs.socket_timeout argument which were erroneously added to the
“set_parameters”, where they have no effect, to be part of the Memcached
connection arguments MemcachedBackend.dead_retry,
MemcachedBackend.socket_timeout.
* Added MemcacheArgs.dead_retry and MemcacheArgs.socket_timeout to the
dictionary of additional keyword arguments that will be passed directly to
GenericMemcachedBackend().
* Added RedisBackend.connection_kwargs parameter, which is a dictionary of
additional keyword arguments that will be passed directly to StrictRedis() or
StrictRedis.from_url(), in the same way that this parameter works with the
RedisSentinelBackend already
