+
+ This is the first BETA release of HttpClient 5.0. The 5.0 release serices introduces
+ support for the HTTP/2 protocol and event driven messaging APIs consistent for all
+ supported HTTP protocol versions.
+
+ HttpClient ships with two client implementations:
+
+ * HttpClient Classic is based on the classic (blocking) I/O model; largely compatible
+ with the 4.x APIs; supports HTTP/1.1 only.
+
+ * HttpClient Async is based on NIO model; new event driven APIs consistent for all supported
+ HTTP protocol versions; supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
+
+ []
+
+ Notable new features in this release:
+
+ * New asynchronous HTTP cache backend APIs
+
+ * Fully asynchronous HTTP cache backend based on Memcached
+
+ * Support for bulk cache retrieval
+
+ []
+
+ 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.)
+
+ * New connection pool implementation with lax connection limit guarantees and better
+ performance under higher concurrency due to absence of a global pool lock.
+
+ * Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.client5'.
+
+ * Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.client5'.

HttpClient 5.x branch is the current unstable development branch. The main focus of the 5.0

- to HTTP/2.0 and incremental API improvements.
+ series is providing full-featured support for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 and ensuring full compliance
