Release 4.3 Final
-------------------
This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpClient 4.3. The most notable enhancements included
in this release are:
* 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been replaced by immutable equivalents.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.

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.
Changelog
-------------------
* [HTTPCLIENT-1187] If a revalidation response is deemed too old CachingHttpClient fails to
consume its content resulting in a connection leak.
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>

Release 4.1
-------------------
The HttpClient 4.1 release builds upon the stable foundation laid by HttpClient 4.0 and adds several
functional improvements and popular features.
* Response caching conditionally compliant with HTTP/1.1 specification (full compliance with
MUST requirements, partial compliance with SHOULD requirements)
* Full support for NTLMv1, NTLMv2, and NTLM2 Session authentication. The NTLM protocol code
was kindly contributed by the Lucene Connector Framework project.
* Support for SPNEGO/Kerberos authentication.
* Persistence of authentication data between request executions within the same execution context.
* Support for preemptive authentication for BASIC and DIGEST schemes.
* Support for transparent content encoding. Please note transparent content encoding is not
enabled per default in order to avoid conflicts with already existing custom content encoding
solutions.
* Mechanism to bypass the standard certificate trust verification (useful when dealing with
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
maintained and supported by the Apache HttpComponents project.
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.
