+
+Back in December 2014 antirez reached out to the community, to [find a new maintainer of hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis/issues/283).
+In a joined effort [Michael][], [Matt][] and me took on the effort and
+just 2 weeks ago Matt released [Version 0.12.1](https://github.com/redis/hiredis/releases/tag/v0.12.1),
+after just two years without a proper release.
+
+This weekend I got in contact with [Pieter][] who handed over access to all major packages based on hiredis to me.
+Sunday I pushed out new versions for all of them:
+
+* Ruby: [hiredis-rb](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-rb/) v0.6.0 ([gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/hiredis))
+* JavaScript: [hiredis-node](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-node) v0.2.0 ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hiredis))
+* Python: [hiredis-py](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-py) v0.1.6 ([pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hiredis/)) *(this is my first ever maintained Python package, yey)*
+
+All of them include only non-breaking changed and an upgrade of the underlying hiredis code, so all additional libraries and applications depending on them should just work after an upgrade.
+If not, please open a ticket.
+
+I again want to say thank you to [Pieter][] who maintained all of these packages in the past.
+Also thank you to Matt and Michael, who helped push hiredis forward.
