[Announce] HttpClient 2.0 Alpha 2 Released!

[Jeffrey Dever <js...@sympatico.ca>]

After many months and a great resurgence of developers, the new build of 
/HttpClient/ is finally here. The new group of developers has done 
extensive refactoring to move the project along the new vision. The code 
base has reached a significant level of maturity and we expect that the 
beta builds will come quickly and that the final release of 2.0 is not 
far away!

This is the first Maven based release with distributions and the website 
all generated by maven goals.  While it has been a long time coming for 
this release drop, (I won't even say *how* long) we will be focused on 
bug fixes and improvements as we stabilize towards a final release of 2.0.
