 ## Install
 
 `requirements.txt`:
 
 ```
-redis_store @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/redis.git@v0.1.0
+redis_store @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/redis.git@v0.1.1
 ```
 
 Direct:
 
 ```bash
-pip install "redis_store @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/redis.git@v0.1.0"
+pip install "redis_store @ git+ssh://git@git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/redis.git@v0.1.1"
 ```
 
 Pulls `redis>=5` (redis-py, which ships the asyncio client — **not** the dead standalone
 `aioredis`).
