+This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpCore 4.3. The most notable features in the 4.3
+branch are:
+
+* 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+  been replaced by immutable equivalents. 
+
+The 4.3 branch also contains performance optimizations such as reduced TCP packet fragmentation
+and more efficient lease / release operations for pools of persistent connections on the client
+side. 
+
+This release also includes all fixes from the 4.2.x release branch.
+
+Users of HttpCore 4.2 are encouraged to upgrade.

+-------------------
 
 * [HTTPCORE-343] AbstractNIOConnPool to fire request callbacks outside the pool lock.
   This makes it possible to re-enter pool methods from a callback event.
