affect your application - it will be ignored and the connection type will
be determined by the format used for ``$config['host']`` instead.

Since 3.2.0, the 'redis' driver's ``get()`` returns cached values with their
original PHP types. In 3.1.x, scalars were returned as strings: ``FALSE``
and ``NULL`` became ``''``, and ``123`` became ``'123'``. Update code that
compares ``get()`` results with strings to use the original value's type.

A cached ``FALSE`` is now indistinguishable from a missing key: both return
``FALSE``, as with the other cache drivers. If you need to distinguish
them, cache a different value instead.
