- <p>We are actively working on the next major release of HttpClient, version 3.0.
- A number of major changes have already been incorporated into the 3.0 code base, though
- there is still room for more in the final release. We would like to encourage
- comment on the API changes and additions made so far.</p>
-
- <p>
- Noteworthy 3.0 alpha1 enhancements include:
- <ul>
- <li>New preference architecture</li>
- <li>Improved exception handling framework</li>
- <li>Granular non-standards configuration and tracking</li>
- <li>Improved authentication framework</li>
- <li>Plug-in mechanism for authentication modules</li>
- <li>Cookie specification plug-in mechanism</li>
- <li>Cross-site redirect support</li>
- </ul>
- </p>
+ <p>Quite a lot of progress had been made in the 3.0 branch and we are nearly ready
+ for our first beta release. We strongly encourage all current HttpClient users to
+ have a look at the new and improved 3.0 API before we freeze API changes for the
+ first beta release. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. </p>
