| Release 4.2 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpClient 4.2. The most notable enhancements included |
| in this release are: |
| |
| * New facade API for HttpClient based on the concept of a fluent interface. The fluent API exposes |
| only the most fundamental functions of HttpClient and is intended for relatively simple use cases |
| that do not require the full flexibility of HttpClient. However, the fluent API almost fully |
| relieves the users from having to deal with connection management and resource deallocation. |
| |
| * Redesigned and rewritten connection management code. |
| |
| * Enhanced HTTP authentication API that enables HttpClient to handle more complex authentication |
| scenarios. HttpClient 4.2 is now capable of making use of multiple authentication challenges |
| and retry authentication with a fall-back scheme in case the primary one fails. This can be |
| important for compatibility with Microsoft products that are often configured to use |
| SPNEGO/Kerberos as the preferred authentication scheme. |
| |

| Release 4.2 BETA1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| This is the first BETA release of HttpClient 4.2. This release completes development of several |
| notable enhancements in HttpClient: |
| |
| * New facade API for HttpClient based on the concept of a fluent interface. The fluent API exposes |

| scenarios. HttpClient 4.2 is now capable of making use of multiple authentication challenges |
| and retry authentication with a fall-back scheme in case the primary one fails. This can be |
| important for compatibility with Microsoft products that are often configured to use |
| SPNEGO/Kerberos as the preferred authentication scheme. |

| self-signed certificates). |
| |
| * Simplified configuration for connection managers. |
| |
| * Transparent support for host multihoming. |
| |
| IMPORTANT: please note that the HttpClient 3.x branch is now officially END OF LIFE and is no longer |

| |
| Changelog |
| ------------------- |
| * The public API for the caching module had a minor change between 4.1-beta and 4.1-GA to the |
| HttpCacheEntry class - the deprecated public Set<String> getVariantURIs() method and constructor |
| public HttpCacheEntry(Date requestDate, Date responseDate, |
| StatusLine statusLine, Header[] responseHeaders, |
| Resource resource, Set<String> variants) |
| were both removed. This will not affect you unless you are implementing new storage backends |
| that use the deprecated code and/or are implementing custom serializers for cache entries. |
| |
| * Changed Browser-Compatibility and Best-Match cookie policies to emulate the behaviour of FireFox |
| more closely when parsing Netscape style cookies. Comma will no longer be treated as a header |
| element separator if Set-Cookie does not contain a Version attribute mandated by the |
| RFC2109 / RFC 2965 cookie specifications. |

| |
| * [HTTPCLIENT-1033] HttpRoute.equals(Object o) is quite inefficient, as it does not take full |
| advantage of shortcut logic. |

| |
| * [HTTPCLIENT-1030] Implement "ignoreCookies" CookieSpec |
| Contributed by Sebastian Bazley <sebb at apache.org> |

| Release 4.1 ALPHA2 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| HttpClient 4.1 ALPHA2 fixes a number of non-severe bugs discovered since |

| |
| * transparent support for host multihoming |
| |
| * a mechanism to bypass the standard certificate trust verification |
| (useful when dealing with self-signed certificates) |
| |
| Compatibility notes |
| ------------------- |
| (1) Please note the HTTP caching module is still considered experimental and |
| its API may change significantly in the future releases. |
| |
| (2) This release eliminates Mime4J as a dependency for the HttpMime module. |

| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * Added parameters to define the order of preference for supported auth |
| schemes for target host and proxy authentication. |

| |
| Release 4.0.1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| This is a bug fix release that addresses a number of issues discovered since |
| the previous stable release. None of the fixed bugs is considered critical. |
| Most notably this release eliminates eliminates dependency on JCIP annotations. |
| |
| This release is also expected to improve performance by 5 to 10% due to |
| elimination of unnecessary Log object lookups by short-lived components. |
| |
| Changelog |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * [HTTPCLIENT-895] Eliminated Log lookups in short lived objects impairing |
| performance. |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |

| authentication results in a redirect. This is a minor bug as HttpClient |
| manages to recover from the problem automatically. |
| Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * [HTTPCLIENT-881] Fixed race condition in AbstractClientConnAdapter that makes |
| it possible for an aborted connection to be returned to the pool. |
| Contributed by Tim Boemker <tboemker at elynx.com> and |
| Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org> |
| |
| * [HTTPCLIENT-866] Removed dependency on jcip-annotations.jar. |

| |
| Release 4.0 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| HttpClient 4.0 represents a complete, ground-up redesign and almost a complete |
| rewrite of the HttpClient 3.x codeline. This release finally addresses several |
| design flaws that existed since the 1.0 release and could not be fixed without |
| a major code overhaul and breaking API compatibility. |
| |
| |
| Architectural changes |
| --------------------- |
| |
| * Redesign of the HttpClient internals addressing all known major |
| architectural shortcomings of the 3.x codeline. |
| |
| * Cleaner, more flexible and expressive API. |
| |
| * More modular structure. |
| |
| * Better performance and smaller memory footprint due to a more efficient HTTP |
| transport based on HttpCore. |
| |
| * Implementation of cross-cutting HTTP protocol aspects through protocol |
| interceptors. |
| |
| * Improved connection management, better handling of persistent connections, |
| support for stateful connections |
| |
| * Pluggable redirect and authentication handlers. |
| |
| * Improved support for sending requests via a proxy or a chain of proxies |
| |
| * More flexible SSL context customization |
| |
| * Reduced intermediate garbage in the process of generating HTTP requests |
| and parsing HTTP responses |
| |
| |
| Important notes |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * Future releases of HttpMime module may be binary incompatible with this |
| release due to possible API changes in Apache Mime4J. Apache Mime4J is |
| still being actively developed and its API is considered unstable. |
| |
| * HttpClient 4.0 is not fully binary compatible with 4.0 BETA1 release. |
| Some protected variables in connection management class have been |
| made final in order to help ensure their thread safety: |

| |
| 4.0 Beta 1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| BETA1 release brings yet another round of API enhancements and |
| improvements in the area of connection management. Among the most notable |
| ones is the capability to handle stateful connections such as persistent |
| NTLM connections and private key authenticated SSL connections. |
| |
| This is the first API stable release of HttpClient 4.0. All further |
| releases in the 4.0 code line will maintain API compatibility with this |
| release. |

| |
| Release 4.0 Alpha 4 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| ALPHA4 marks the completion of the overhaul of the connection management |
| code in HttpClient. All known shortcomings of the old HttpClient 3.x |
| connection management API have been addressed. |
| |
| NTLM authentication remains the only missing major feature in the new |
| codeline that prevents us from moving awards the API freeze. |
| |
| There has been a number of important bug fixes since ALPHA3. All upstream |
| projects are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release. |
| |
| ------------------- |
| |
| HttpClient 3.x features that have NOT yet been ported: |

| Contributed by Johannes Koch <johannes.koch at fit.fraunhofer.de> |
| |
| -------------------------------------- |
| |
| Release 4.0 Alpha 3 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| ALPHA3 release brings another round of API refinements and improvements in |
| functionality. As of this release HttpClient requires Java 5 compatible |
| runtime environment and takes full advantage of generics and new concurrency |
| primitives. |
| |
| This release also introduces new default cookie policy that selects a cookie |
| specification depending on the format of cookies sent by the target host. |
| It is no longer necessary to know beforehand what kind of HTTP cookie support |
| the target host provides. HttpClient is now able to pick up either a lenient |
| or a strict cookie policy depending on the compliance level of the target host. |
| |
| Another notable improvement is a completely reworked support for multipart |
| entities based on Apache mime4j library. |
