If you're a curious Ubuntu (14.04) user, it looks like the PPA to get version 1.5 is ppa:vbernat/haproxy-1.5.

Based on this: http://haproxy.debian.net/

Been using this in production for about six months now. Happy that the release version is finally out. The nicest feature of 1.5 is that you can easily do Redis failover using the new TCP check features.

I think the Redis checks are now native built in when looking at the changelog:

    - [MINOR] check: add redis check support

Nice. I'll look into it. The TCP check was still a bit of a dirty hack.
