Proposed Changes

When upgrading to version 2.9.0 it looks like there is an issue that prevents netbox from working with default ubuntu 16 redis 3.0.6. Upon upgrading to redis 5.x the problem went away. It would seem that there may be a silent dependancy on a specific minimum version of redis which should be documented as a breaking change during upgrade.
