| Changes since 4.0 Beta 2 |
| ------------------- |

| |
| |
| Release 4.0 Beta 2 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| The 4.0 BETA2 release fixes a number of non-critical issues found since release 4.0-beta1 and |
| introduces basic support for HTTP/1.1 response caching. Please note that caching for streaming |
| HTTP exchanges is currently not supported. |
| |
| Users of previous releases of HttpAsyncClient are advised to upgrade. |
| |
| Changelog: |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-20] HTTP exchange can now be aborted with HttpUriRequest#abort(). |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-17] Caching HttpAsyncClient facade. |
| Contributed by Clinton Nielsen <clinton.h.nielsen at gmail.com> |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-19] Fixed incorrect execution of message exchanges that span across multiple hosts |
| (for instance, in case of a request redirect). |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-18] Fixed thread deadlock that could occur in the DefaultAsyncRequestDirector |
| in case of a runtime exception. |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-15]: HttpAsyncClient hangs if connection leased from the pool gets immediately closed |
| by the opposite endpoint. |

| |
| Release 4.0 Beta 1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| The 4.0 BETA1 release completes the application programming interface and the feature set |
| of HttpAsyncClient and upgrades to the latest versions of core and client components |
| (HttpCore 4.2-beta1 and HttpClient 4.2-beta1). As of this release HttpAsyncClient is expected |
| to be API stable. |
| |
| Users of previous releases of HttpAsyncClient are advised to upgrade. |
| |
| Changelog: |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-11]: HttpAsyncClient fails to re-authenticate if connection is non-persistent. |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-5]: Allow customized LineParser for asynchronous connections. |

| |
| Release 4.0 Alpha 3 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| The 4.0 ALPHA3 release largely completes the application programming interface and feature set |
| of HttpAsyncClient. While the API may still change in the course of the ALPHA development phase, |
| this is expected to be the last round of major API changes and the API is expected to be reasonably |
| stable as of this release. |
| |
| We are kindly asking actual and prospective users of HttpAsyncClient to review its API, evaluate |
| its functionality and give us feedback while the 4.0 API is still not final. If no major flaws |
| are discovered the 4.0 API is expected to be frozen with the next BETA release. |
| |
| Changelog: |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-6]: Fixed NPE in the DefaultAsyncRequestDirector#responseCompleted method. |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| |
| Release 4.0 Alpha 2 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| The second ALPHA release of HttpAsyncClient 4.0 comes with a number of important improvements and |
| enhancements. As of this version HttpAsyncClient fully supports HTTP state management (cookies) |
| and HTTP authentication (basic, digest, NTLM, spnego/kerberos). Connection management classes have |
| been thoroughly reworked and improved. This version also improves support for zero copy file |
| upload / download operations. |
| |
| The HttpAsyncClient 4.0 API is still considered experimental and is expected to change |
| in the course of the ALPHA development phase. |
| |
| Please note that currently HttpAsyncClient DOES NOT support |
| |
| * Stateful HTTP connections |
| |
| |
| Changelog: |
| |
| * [HTTPASYNC-3]: Fixed incorrect handling of expired I/O sessions by SessionPool. |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| |
| Release 4.0 Alpha 1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| HttpAsyncClient is a library for asynchronous client-side HTTP communication built on HttpCore NIO |
| and HttpClient components. |
| |
| HttpAsyncClient is NOT meant to replace or supersede Apache HttpClient. It is a complementary |
| library to Apache HttpClient intended for special cases where ability to handle a great number of |
| concurrent connections is more important than performance in terms of a raw data throughput or |
| for those users who prefer event-driven APIs. |
| |
| The HttpAsyncClient 4.0 API is still very experimental and is expected to change in the course |
| of the ALPHA development phase. |
| |
| Please note that currently HttpAsyncClient DOES NOT support |
| |
| * HTTP state management (cookies) |
| * HTTP authentication |
| * Stateful HTTP connections |
