-Release 4.4-BETA2
+Changes since 4.1 BETA1
 -------------------
 
+* [HTTPASYNC-88] persistent connections can time out while kept alive in the pool
+  causing unexpected SocketTimeoutException
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
+
+* [HTTPASYNC-86]: fixed a race condition upon connection lease from the connection pool:
+  in very rare  circumstances the main execution thread can get jammed for so long
+  that the I/O dispatch thread succeeds in completing the request and releasing the connection
+  while the main still is performing connection validation.
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>

 * Update Apache Commons Logging version from 1.1.3 to 1.2.
