HttpAsyncClient GA releases

[John Lee <jh...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,
I noticed that there was a recent release of HttpCore 4.2-alpha2 which seems
to contain changes for the HttpAsyncClient.
Is a GA version of HttpAsyncClient going to be created for the 4.1.2
HttpCore? Perhaps this is not coming until 4.2?
I'm working on a project at the moment, and I was hoping to utilize both
your HttpClient and HttpAsyncClient. I'm using HttpClient4.1.2 GA version
but not sure whether to use non-GA variant of HttpAsyncClient?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

There is no point porting HttpAsyncClient to HttpCore 4.1 API. HttpCore
4.2 will have to go GA before HttpAsyncClient 4.0 GA can happen.

I generally try to avoid non-GA releases myself. At the same time,
speaking from personal experience, software either works _for you_ or it
does not, and it makes no difference whether that piece of software has
been released as GA, BETA or ALPHA.
