Update on 4.5.4 release?
Hi Oleg,
I've seen the message a while back where version 5a3 release had higher
priority over releasing 4.5.4.
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hc-httpclient-users/201710.mbox/%3C1507798428.15620.5.camel%40apache.org%3E
We are using 4.5.2 in Nexus Repository Manager. 4.5.3 has some nice SSL
related fixes we wanted to pick up, but it also had a regression introduced
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1831 that is fixed in
4.5.4 . The regression breaks a lot of of our integration tests.
It seems a bit odd a minor fix release with regressions is not released
before an alpha major version is released, but I am not the one doing the
releasing - easy for me to say. :)
Are you still taking the same release approach this day? Anything I can do
to convince that 4.5.4 be released soon so we can roll more value out to
our customers?
Regards,
-Peter

That's your prerogative, of course, but Peter doesn't necessarily
represent his company nor the other way round.
Peter, any committer can call for a release of any version/branch of any
project at any time. You can help by providing (non-binding) voting
feedback for any release proposed. If this community has a cold attitude
toward your employer, you can suggest to your employer that they attempt
to reach-out to this community in order to repair that relationship.
You are also free to use a manually-patched version of ASF-released
code. *shrug*

Hi Peter
Not so long ago Sonatype as a commercial entity was openly hostile to
this project. I am sorry if that sounds harsh, but personally I am not
going to do anything to advance commercial interests of an unfriendly
company.
