Back up and running again Chris, thanks for your patience! After poking around in diffs between 0.13.3 and master for a bit, I raised a ticket upstream to see if we can get a "real" release: https://github.com/redis/hiredis/issues/609
I'd really prefer to see a real release than to go yanking from an arbitrary SHA -- even if it is a relatively slow-moving code base. No doubt as time goes on we can expect redis & hiredis to slowly diverge again, but it would be nice to keep things sane for good citizens targeting a specific version number. So if you don't mind waiting a little longer to see where upstream hiredis #609 lands that'd be awesome. On the other hand, if you're really desperate for the phony release let me know & I'll figure it out.
