+ <p>We are pleased to announce the first HttpClient 3.0 release.
+ HttpClient 3.0 provides a wealth of features and enhancements
+ that did not make it into the 2.0 release, while preserving API
+ compatibility as much as possible. In a relatively few cases
+ <a href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/httpclient/API_CHANGES_3_0.txt?view=markup">API
+ compatibility with HttpClient 2.0</a> could not maintained.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Noteworthy enhancements include:
+ <ul>
+ <li>New preference architecture</li>
+ <li>Improved exception handling framework</li>
+ <li>Granular non-standards configuration and tracking</li>
+ <li>Improved authentication framework</li>
+ <li>Plug-in mechanism for authentication modules</li>
+ <li>Cookie specification plug-in mechanism</li>
+ <li>Cross-site redirect support</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We see our fellow Apache developers as well as other open-source
+ projects already reliant on HttpClient as the primary target
+ audience for this release. This is the right time to evaluate
+ HttpClient 3.0 and give us some feedback, critique or other thought on
+ the new API. Please feel free to file requests for additional features.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The goal of the second ALPHA release is to incorporate the feedback, polish
+ the API, and update documentation. The next ALPHA release will target the
+ wider audience beyond the Apache Jakarta and Apache WS communities.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Please <a href="downloads.html">download</a> and
+ let us know what you think.
