 Bugfixes
 - Fixed auth in batch not saving the password
+- Fixed catch tls handshake failures with newer Node.js versions
+- Fixed stream option being copied
+- Fixed pub sub activated, listening to a `(p)messageBuffer`, no Buffer returns
+    and monitoring resulting in a crash.

 Features
 - Native promise support
 - Auto pipelining
+- The client is now exported directly and be instantiated directly

 Breaking Changes

- Dropped support for `UPPER_CASE` commands
 - Dropped support for `snake_case`
 - Dropped support for domains
 - Dropped support for Redis 2.4

- Removed `Redis.print` helper function

 - Removed backpressure indicator from function return value
 - Removed the `stream` parameter from the RedisClient constructor.
  - Please set the stream in the options instead

  - `restore-asking` is now `restore_asking_`
  - `host:` is now `host`
 - Changed the `serverInfo` into a nested object and to parse numbers
- Changed the `serverInfo.versions` to `serverInfo.version`
+- Changed the `serverInfo.versions` to `serverInfo.server.version`
 - Changed the `message` and `pmessage` listener to always return a string
  - If you want to receive a buffer, please listen to the `messageBuffer` or `pmessageBuffer`
 - Using `.end` without the flush parameter is now going to throw an TypeError
 - Only emit ready when all commands were truly send to Redis
+- `UPPER_CASE` commands are not enumerated anymore
