Release 5.0-BETA7
-----------------
This BETA release picks up the latest fixes and performance improvements from HttpCore
and addresses a number of issues found since the previous BETA release.
* HTTPCLIENT-2043: Rename classes documented as factories from *Provider #194.
Release 5.0-BETA6
-------------------
This BETA release picks up the latest fixes and performance improvements from HttpCore
and addresses a number of issues found since the previous BETA release.
IMPORTANT: This release is expected to be the last BETA version. If no major
design flaws are found the actual 5.0 API will be frozen and the next version will be
promoted to GA.
Notable changes and features included in the 5.0 series are:
* Support for the HTTP/2 protocol and conformance to requirements and
recommendations of the latest HTTP/2 protocol specification documents
(RFC 7540, RFC 7541.)
Supported features:
** HPACK header compression
** Stream multiplexing (client and server)
** Flow control
** Response push
** Message trailers
** Expect-continue handshake
** Connection validation (ping)
** Application-layer protocol negotiation (ALPN)
** TLS 1.2 security features
* Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol
specification documents (RFC 7230, RFC 7231.)
* New connection pool implementation with lax connection limit guarantees and better
performance under higher concurrency due to absence of a global pool lock.
* Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.client5'.
* Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.client5'.
HttpClient 5.0 releases can be co-located with earlier major versions on the same classpath
due to the change in package names and Maven module coordinates.

-------------------
* Fixed fallback PublicSuffixMatcher.

Release 5.0-ALPHA3
-------------------
This is a major release that introduces support for the HTTP/2 protocol and event driven
messaging APIs consistent for all supported HTTP protocol versions.
HttpClient ships with two client implementations:
* HttpClient Classic is based on the classic (blocking) I/O model; largely compatible
with the 4.x APIs; supports HTTP/1.1 only.
* HttpClient Async is based on NIO model; new event driven APIs consistent for all supported
HTTP protocol versions; supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
Notable new features in this release:
* Asynchronous HttpClient implementations optimized for HTTP/2 multiplexed request execution.
* Full support for HTTP caching by asynchronous HttpClient implementations including
streaming message exchanages.
Notable changes and features included in the 5.0 series are:
* Support for the HTTP/2 protocol and conformance to requirements and
recommendations of the latest HTTP/2 protocol specification documents
(RFC 7540, RFC 7541.)
Supported features:
** HPACK header compression
** Stream multiplexing (client and server)
** Flow control
** Response push
** Message trailers
** Expect-continue handshake
** Connection validation (ping)
** Application-layer protocol negotiation (ALPN) on Java 9.0.1+
** TLS 1.2 security features
* Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol
specification documents (RFC 7230, RFC 7231.)
* Redesigned connection pool implementation with reduced pool lock contention.
* Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.client5'.
* Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.client5'.
* Apache Log4j2 logging APIs used for internal logging instead of Commons Logging APIs.
HttpClient 5.0 releases can be co-located with earlier major versions on the same classpath
due to the change in package names and Maven module coordinates.
Please note that as of 5.0, HttpClient requires Java 1.7 or newer.

Release 5.0-ALPHA1
-------------------
This major release renders HttpClient API incompatible with the stable 4.x branch
and upgrades HTTP/1.1 protocol conformance to the requirements and recommendations of the latest
protocol specification. This release lays the foundation for transition to HTTP/2 as the primary
transport protocol in the future releases.
Notable changes and features included in the 5.0 series are:

HttpClient 5.0 releases can be co-located with earlier versions, meaning you can have both 5.x and
4.x on the classpath without experiencing jar hell.
Please note that as of 5.0 HttpClient requires Java 1.7 or newer.
Please note that at this point we consider 5.0 APIs experimental and unstable and expect them to
change in the coming releases without providing a migration path.

Release 4.4 Final
-------------------
This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpClient 4.4. Notable features and enhancements included
in 4.4 series are:
* Support for the latest HTTP state management specification (RFC 6265). Please note that the old
cookie policy is still used by default for compatibility reasons. RFC 6265 compliant cookie
policies need to be explicitly configured by the user. Please also note that as of next feature
release support for Netscape draft, RFC 2109 and RFC 2965 cookie policies will be deprecated
and disabled by default. It is recommended to use RFC 6265 compliant policies for new applications
unless compatibility with RFC 2109 and RFC 2965 is required and to migrate existing applications
to the default cookie policy.
* Enhanced, redesigned and rewritten default SSL hostname verifier with improved RFC 2818
compliance.
* Default SSL hostname verifier and default cookie policy now validate certificate identity
and cookie domain of origin against the public suffix list maintained by Mozilla.org
<https://publicsuffix.org/list>
* More efficient stale connection checking: indiscriminate connection checking which results
in approximately 20 to 50 ms overhead per request has been deprecated in favor of conditional
connection state validation (persistent connections are to be re-validated only if a specified
period inactivity has elapsed.)
* Authentication cache thread-safety: authentication cache used by HttpClient is now thread-safe
and can be shared by multiple threads in order to re-use authentication state for subsequent
requests.
* Native Windows Negotiate and NTLM via SSPI through JNA: when running on Windows OS HttpClient
configured to use native NTLM or SPNEGO authentication schemes can make use of platform specific
functionality via JNA and current user credentials. This functionality is still considered
experimental, known to have compatibility issues and subject to change without prior notice.
Use at your discretion.
This release also includes all fixes from the stable 4.3.x release branch.
Please note that as of 4.4 HttpClient requires Java 1.6 or newer.
