- For the 64 bit version, there is a limit of 2^32 objects in a structure, and a max length of 2^32 for any object
- Version number now 2.6.8-pre2 to indicate prerelease and to enable changing
- Version 2.6.8-pre2 fixes several failures that existed in 2.6.8-pre1. Most of these were related to handling opening and closing of non-blocking sockets.
- The unit/protocol desync test is updated to use nonblocking socket and now works on Windows

Special thanks to Dušan Majkic (https://github.com/dmajkic, https://github.com/dmajkic/redis/) for his project on GitHub that gave us the opportunity to quickly learn some on the intricacies of Redis code. His project also helped us to build our prototype quickly.

If a Unix shell is not installed you may see the following error message: "couldn't execute "cat": no such file or directory".
## Known issues
The are 3 consistent failures in the protocol module, having to do with receiving an error message when the client connection is closed due to bad data. These tests are disabled for now.
