-Release 5.5 ALPHA2
+Release 5.5
 ------------------
 
-Dependency updates:
+This is the first GA release in the 5.5 release series. This release finalizes the 5.5
+APIs and adds several experimental features and improvements such as request multiplexing
+over a shared HTTP/2 connection and the Classic API facade acting as a compatibility
+bridge between classic I/O client services and the asynchronous message transport used
+internally.
+
+Notable changes and features included in the 5.5 series:
+
+* Improved conformance to RFC 7616 (HTTP Digest Access Authentication).
+
+* The connection pool implementation acts as a caching facade in front of a standard
+  managed connection pool and shares already leased connections to multiplex message
+  exchanges over active HTTP/2 connections. Experimental.
+
+* Extended Auth API and improved authentication protocol logic to support mutual
+  authentication.
+
+* The Classic API facade acting as a compatibility bridge between the classic I/O client
+  services (based on the standard InputStream / OutputStream model) and the asynchronous
+  message transport used internally. Experimental.
+
+* HTTP/2 support for the Fluent Facade (via Classic API facade). Experimental.
+
+
+Compatibility notes:
+
+* As of this release HttpClient does not automatically execute redirects if the original
+  request manually added headers that are considered sensitive.
+
