| Users of HttpClient 4.3 are encouraged to upgrade. |
| |
| * 27 December 2013 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.3.1 (GA) released |
| |
| This maintenance release fixes a number of bugs and regressions found since 4.3, mostly in the |
| NIO transport components. All users of HttpCore 4.3 are advised to upgrade. |
| |
| * 31 October 2013 - HttpComponents HttpAsyncClient 4.0 (GA) released |
| |
| This is the first stable (GA) release of Apache HttpAsyncClient 4.0. HttpAsyncClient is |
| a library for asynchronous client-side HTTP communication built on top of HttpCore NIO |
| transport. It is a complementary library to Apache HttpClient intended and optimized for |
| special cases whereby ability to scale to many thousands of concurrent connections is more |
| important than performance in terms of raw data throughput. |
| |
| HttpAsyncClient 4.0 is designed to have similar APIs as Apache HttpClient 4.3 and a comparable |
| feature set. In addition HttpAsyncClient provides full support for zero-copy file upload and |
| download operations. It presently does not support transparent content decompression and |
| automatic I/O error recovery. These features may be added in future releases. |
| |
| * 7 October 2013 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.3.1 (GA) released |

| |
| This is the first stable (GA) 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.) |
| |
| * Added fluent Builder classes for HttpEntity, HttpRequest, HttpClient and SSLContext 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. |
| 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| been replaced by immutable equivalents.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. |
| |
| * 12 September 2013 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.2.6 (GA) released |

| |
| * 22 May 2012 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.2 (GA) released |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| * 5 May 2012 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.2 (GA) released |
| |
| This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpCore 4.2. The most notable features included in |

| new asynchronous client and server side protocol handlers. |
| |
| New protocol handling API used in conjunction with connection pooling components is expected to |
| make development of asynchronous HTTP client agents and HTTP proxies easier and less error |
| prone. |
| |
| Connection pool components are based on mature code migrated from HttpClient and HttpAsyncClient |
| modules but have a slightly different API that makes a better use of Java standard concurrent |
| primitives. |
| |
| * 22 February 2012 - HttpComponents HttpAsyncClient 4.0-beta1 released |

| Welcome on board, Sam! |
| |
| * 26 February 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0-alpha3 released |
| |
| The third ALPHA 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. |
| |
| * 24 January 2008 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-beta1 released |
| |
| The first BETA version of HttpComponents Core has been released. This release |
| can be considered a major milestone, as it marks the end of API instability |
| in HttpCore. As of this release the API compatibility between minor releases |
| in 4.x codeline will be maintained. |
| |
| This release includes several major improvements such as enhanced HTTP message |
| parsing API and optimized parser implementations, Java 5.0 compatibility |
| for HttpCore NIO extensions. |
| |
| The focus of the development efforts will be gradually shifting towards |
| providing better test coverage, documentation and performance optimizations. |
| |
| * 15 November 2007 - HttpComponents becomes TLP |
| |
| The ASF board had approved HttpComponents 'graduation' from Jakarta to a TLP of its own. |
| |
| We are now Apache HttpComponents Project! |
| |
| * 7 November 2007 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0-alpha2 released |
| |
| The second ALPHA release is another important milestone in the redesign of HttpClient. The |
| release includes a number of improvements since ALPHA1, among which are improved connection |
| pooling, support for proxy chains, redesigned HTTP state and authentication credentials |
| management API, improved RFC 2965 cookie specification. |
| |
| * 9 October 2007 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-alpha6 released |
| |
| The sixth ALPHA version of HttpComponents Core has been released. This release sports an |
| improved message parsing and formatting API in the base module and lots of incremental |
| improvements and bug fixes in the NIO and NIOSSL modules. Based on the improved API, it is now |
| possible to send and receive SIP messages with HttpComponents Core. |
| |
| * 20 July 2007 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0-alpha1 released |
| |
| This release represents a complete, ground-up redesign and almost a complete rewrite of the old |
| 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. |
| |
| Notable changes and enhancements: |
| |
| * Redesign of the HttpClient internals addressing all known major architectural shortcomings of |
| the 3.x codeline |
| |
| * Cleaner, more flexible and expressive API |
| |
| * Better performance and smaller memory footprint due to a more efficient HTTP transport based |
| on HttpCore. HttpClient 4.0 is expected to be 10% to 25% faster than HttpClient 3.x codeline |
| |
| * More modular structure |
| |
| * Pluggable redirect and authentication handlers |
| |
| * Support for protocol incerceptors |
| |
| * Improved connection management |
| |
| * Improved support for sending requests via a proxy or a chain of proxies |
| |
| * Improved handling redirects of entity enclosing requests |
| |
| * More flexible SSL context customization |
| |
| * Reduced intermediate garbage in the process of generating HTTP requests and parsing HTTP |
| responses |
| |
| * 4 July 2007 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-alpha5 released |
| |
| The fifth ALPHA version of HttpComponents Core has been released. This release delivers a number |
| of incremental improvements across the board in all modules and adds several performance oriented |
| features such as ability to transfer data directly between a file and a socket NIO channels. |
| |
| * 30 March 2007 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-alpha4 released |
| |
| The fourth ALPHA version fixes a number of bugs and adds a number of improvements to HttpCore |
| base and the HttpCore NIO extensions. This release also introduces NIOSSL extensions that can be |
| used to extend HttpCore non-blocking transport components with the ability to transparently encrypt |
| data in transit using SSL/TLS. |
| |
| * 6 December 2006 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-alpha3 released |
| |
| The third ALPHA version of HttpCore has been released. The ALPHA3 release includes a number of API |
| optimizations and improvements and introduces a set of NIO extensions to the HttpCore API. |
| NIO extensions can be used to build HTTP services intended to handle thousands of simultaneous |
| connections with a small number of I/O threads. |
| |
| * 9 June 2006 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-alpha2 released |
| |
| The second ALPHA version of HttpCore has been released, which addresses a number of non-critical |
| problems found in the previous release. The upstream projects are strongly encouraged use this |
| release as a dependency while HttpCore undergoes another round of reviews and optimization in the |
| SVN trunk. |
| |
| * 12 May 2006 - HttpClient issue tracking migrated to Jira |
| |
