The library comes with multiple APIs. There is the
*synchronous API*, the *asynchronous API* and the *reply parsing API*.
+## Upgrading to > 1.2.0 (**PRERELEASE**)
+
+* After v1.2.0 we modified how we invoke `poll(2)` to wait for connections to complete, such that we will now retry
+ the call if it is interrupted by a signal until:
+
+ a) The connection succeeds or fails.
+ b) The overall connection timeout is reached.
+
+ In previous versions, an interrupted `poll(2)` call would cause the connection to fail
+ with `c->err` set to `REDIS_ERR_IO` and `c->errstr` set to `poll(2): Interrupted system call`.
+
## Upgrading to `1.1.0`
Almost all users will simply need to recompile their applications against the newer version of hiredis.
