Heredis for Mac 2.0 Released (And iOS Versions)

Back in March, I mentioned an upcoming upgrade for Heredis for Mac (what I called Heredis for Mac 2012). I included a Heredis for Mac gallery as well from screenshots posted on the Heredis site.

Well the upgrade is finally here, and really it’s a completely new version of Heredis for Mac.
