HttpComponents Project News
+* 28 September 2014 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.4-beta1 released
+
+ This is the first BETA release of HttpClient 4.4. Notable features and enhancements included
+ in 4.4 series are:
+
+ * Enhanced redesigned and rewritten default SSL hostname verifier with improved RFC 2818
+ compliance
+
+ * Default SSL hostname verifier and default cookie policy now validate certificate identity
+ and cookie domain of origin against the public suffix list maintained by Mozilla.org
+ <https://publicsuffix.org/list>
+
+ * Native windows Negotiate/NTLM via JNA: when running on Windows OS HttpClient configured to use
+ native NTLM or SPNEGO authentication schemes can make use of platform specific functionality
+ via JNA and current user system credentials
+
+ * More efficient stale connection checking: indiscriminate connection checking which results
+ in approximately 20 to 50 ms overhead per request has been deprecated in favor of conditional
+ connection state validation (persistent connections are to be re-validated only if a specified
+ period inactivity has elapsed)
+
+ * Authentication cache thread-safety: authentication caches used by HttpClient is now thread-safe
+ and can be shared by multiple threads in order to re-use authentication state for subsequent
+ requests
+
* 22 September 2014 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.4-beta1 released
