The most notable changes are a refactor of DataManager to make the caching system easier to tweak, and the ability to use Lua scripts that run on the Redis server to optimize certain batch operations (currently, only getServersToPlayers() uses this).
This also paves the way for me to deprecate old versions of Redis. Anything older than 2.6 is ancient, and even 2.6 is ancient, so it ends up being a net overall benefit.
