Release 5.4 ALPHA1 ------------------- This is the first ALPHA release in the 5.4 release series that improves HTTP protocol support by ensuring conformance to the latest HTTP specification (RFC 9110, RFC 9111, RFC 7616, RFC 7617), ensures compatibility with Java Virtual Threads by replacing 'synchronized' keywords in critical sections with Java lock primitives. The HTTP caching protocol layer has also been redesigned and overhauled to improve cache efficiency and optimize performance. IMPORTANT! Please note the new cache entry serialization format is incompatible with earlier versions of HttpClient Cache. Persistent caches (file system based, Memcached, EhCAche with object serialization) created with any earlier version MUST be flushed and re-populated or the cache backend MUST be configured to use the old deprecated cache entry serializer. Notable changes and features included in the 5.4 series: * Improved conformance to RFC 9110 (HTTP Semantics), RFC 7616 (HTTP Digest Access Authentication), RFC 2617 (’Basic’ HTTP Authentication Scheme). * UTF-8 encoding to be used by default for text where appropriate. * Compatibility with Java Virtual Threads and Java 21 Runtime. * Redesign and rewrite of the HTTP caching protocol layer for better efficiency and improved conformance to RFC 9111 (HTTP Caching).

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.

Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski 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: * Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol specification (RFC 7230, RFC 7231, RFC 7235) * Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.client5' * Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.client5' * By default the maximum connections per route limit is set to 5 * By default connection request timeout and connect timeout are set to 3 minutes. 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.

Contributed by Charles Lip 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 * 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.

Several old classes whose instances can be shared by multiple request exchanges have been replaced by immutable equivalents. * DefaultHttpClient, DecompressingHttpClient, CachingHttpClient and similar classes are deprecated in favor of builder classes that produce immutable HttpClient instances. * HttpClient builders now dynamically construct a request execution pipeline tailored specifically to the user configuration by physically excluding unnecessary protocol components. * There is now an option to construct a minimal HttpClient implementation that can only execute basic HTTP message exchanges without redirects, authentication, state management or proxy support. This feature might be of particular use in web crawler development. * There is now option to avoid strict URI syntax for request URIs by executing HTTP requests with an explicitly specified target host. HttpClient will no longer attempt to parse the request URI if it does not need to extract the target host from it. This release also includes all fixes from the stable 4.2.x release branch.

Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.3 BETA1 ------------------- This is the first BETA release of HttpClient 4.3. The 4.3 branch enhances HttpClient in several key areas and includes several notable features and improvements: Support for Java 7 try-with-resources for resource management (connection release); fluent Builder classes for HttpEntity, HttpRequest and HttpClient instances, deprecation of preference and configuration API based on HttpParams interface in favor of constructor injection and plain configuration objects, reliance on object immutability instead of access synchronization for thread safety. This release also includes all fixes from the stable 4.2.x release branch.

We are kindly asking all upstream projects to review API changes and help us improve the APIs by providing feedback and sharing ideas on dev@hc.apache.org. This release also includes all fixes from the stable 4.2.x release branch. Please note that new features included in this release are still considered experimental and their API may change in the future 4.3 alpha and beta releases.
