let's release version 1.0.0 of node_redis

[bcoe]

Given the recent hard work the community has put into node_redis, I think we're in a good position to push a release out the door.

How do people feel about labeling this 1.0.0 to help minimize disruption to existing node_redis users (we've moved a few bits around)?

The major client-facing features going out the door with this release are:

#658 thanks @kuwabarahiroshi, this pull gives createClient URL-parsing functionality a pretty killer feature in my opinion.

208b787 thanks @BridgeAR, fixes a regression with createClient.

#749 thanks @danielbprice, fixes a long standing bug that would have caused node_redis to crash when reconnecting in monitoring mode.

Along with these client-facing features, there has been a lot of work done on the node_redis tests:

@erinspice and @bcoe moved the test-suite over to mocha from a hand-rolled approach:

#793

this should make it much easier for future contributors to jump into the codebase.

We've also got tests running again on the newest builds of iojs 🎉

#800

Any other new features that we should pay homage to in the changelog? any objections to bumping node_redis to 1.0.0 and adhering to modern thought leadership with regards to semver moving forward?

How does this sound to everyone?

If everyone is cool with it, I'll release this to a next tag on npm and test with some of my projects.

[blainsmith]

👍 and thanks for the commit mention haha.

I am excited to be apart of this. Good work everyone! High fives all around!

[erinishimoticha]

LGTM.

@erinspice @brycebaril @blainsmith give this a shot:

npm install redis@next

If it passes smoke tests, let's promote next to latest sometime early in the week.

1.0.0 sounds good. There was also #733, which fixed multi/exec behavior with detect_buffers enabled. (Not to get too self-promotey... :P)

[bcoe]

@raydog 👍 I'll amend the changelog.
