t 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 and HttpClient 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 Several old classes whose instances can be shared by multiple request exchanges have been replaced by immutable equivalents.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 b
y physically excluding unnecessary protocol components.</li><li>There is now an option to construct a minimal HttpClient 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.<p>This release also includes all fixes from the stable 4.2.x release branch.</p></li></ul></div><div class="section"><h3>11 April 2013 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.2.4 (GA) released<a name="a11_April_2013_-_HttpComponents_HttpClient_4.2.4_GA_released"></a></h3><p>This is a bug fix release that addresses a number of issues reported since release 4.2.3. </p></div><div class="section"><h3>25 March 2013 - H

The most notable enhancements included in this release are:</p><ul><li>New facade API for HttpClient based
on the concept of a fluent interface. The fluent API exposes only the most fundamental functions of HttpClient and is intended for relatively simple use cases that do not require the full flexibility of HttpClient. However, the fluent API almost fully relieves the users from having to deal with connection management and resource deallocation.</li><li>Redesigned and rewritten connection management code. </li><li>Enhanced HTTP authentication API that enables HttpClient to handle more complex authentication scenarios. 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><div class="section"><h3>5 May 2012 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.2 (GA) released<a name="a5_May_2012_-_HttpComponents_HttpCore_4.2_GA_rel

The most notable feature included in this release is support for connection pools of blocking and non-blocking HTTP connections.
