It's been pointed out to me that some people would like to read the
diffs. I found a trac install at danga that might help:
This is the (most) relevant change:

Specifically, setup_bin_protocol and setup_ascii_protocol feel a
little fragile as both need to reuse the byte that was read to detect
stuff.

I just committed the protocol autodiscovery stuff into the binary

I considered having it negotiate per-command. If someone else
really wants to be able to send multiple commands in different
protocols on the same connection, it's possible, but pipelining will
make you a bit unhappy.
The negotiation isn't free, and is slightly ugly (I read 1 byte and
then shove it into the appropriate protocol-specific location). The
nread and command read buffer handling is a bit too different at the
moment to do anything much better. I figured it doesn't matter too
much at the moment.
Note that it's theoretically possible to pin the server to one
protocol or the other and avoid negotiation.
I tested this by running my java client test through it. That test
both protocols over ipv4 and ipv6 with lots of pipelining and other
such nonsense. You would be a fool to not deploy this to production
immediately.
