+<p>Notable changes and features included in the 5.0 series are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Support for HTTP/2 protocol and conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/2 protocol specification (RFC 7540, RFC 7541)

+<li>Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol specification (RFC 7230, RFC 7231)</li>
+<li>New asynchronous HTTP transport APIs consistent for both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 transport.</li>
+<li>Redesigned I/O reactor APIs and improved NIO based reactor implementation for a greater performance and scalability.</li>
+<li>Support for server side request filters for classic and asynchronous server implementations. Request filters could be used to implement cross-cutting protocol aspects such as the 'expect-continue' handshaking and user authentication / authorization.</li>
+<li>Redesigned connection pool implementation with strict connection limit guarantees. The connection pool is expected to have a better performance under higher concurrency due to reduced global pool lock contention.</li>
+<li>New connection pool implementation with lax connection limit guarantees and better performance under higher concurrency due to absence of a global pool lock.</li>

<p>This is the first stable (GA) release of Apache HttpAsyncClient 4.0. HttpAsyncClient is a library for asynchronous client-side HTTP communication built on top of HttpCore NIO transport. It is a complementary library to Apache HttpClient intended and optimized for special cases whereby ability to scale to many thousands of concurrent connections is more important than performance in terms of raw data throughput. </p>
<p>HttpAsyncClient 4.0 is designed to have similar APIs as Apache HttpClient 4.3 and a comparable feature set. In addition HttpAsyncClient provides full support for zero-copy file upload and download operations. It presently does not support transparent content decompression and automatic I/O error recovery. These features may be added in future releases.</p></div>

<p>This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpClient 4.3. The 4.3 branch enhances HttpClient in several key areas and includes several notable features and improvements: </p>
-<ul><li>Support for Java 7 try-with-resources for resource management (connection release.)</li><li>Added fluent Builder classes for HttpEntity, HttpRequest, HttpClient and SSLContext instances. </li><li>Deprecation of preference and configuration API based on HttpParams interface in favor of constructor injection and plain configuration objects.</li><li>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. </li><li>DefaultHttpClient, DecompressingHttpClient, CachingHttpClient and similar classes are deprecated in favor of builder classes that produce immutable HttpClient instances. </li><li>HttpClient builders now dynamically construct a request execution pipeline tailored specifically to the user configuration by physically excluding unnecessary protocol components.</li><li>There is now an option to construct a minimal HttpClie
nt 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. </li><li>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.

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. </li></ul></div>

<p>This is the first ALPHA release of the 4.2 development branch. The most notable feature included in this release is support for connection pools of blocking and non-blocking HTTP connections. Connection pool components are based on mature code migrated from HttpClient and HttpAsyncClient modules but have a slightly different API that makes a better use of Java standard concurrent primitives. Support for connection pools in HttpCore is expected to make development of client and proxy HTTP services easier and less error prone.</p></div>
