-Release 4.4-BETA2
+Release 5.0-ALPHA1
 -------------------
 
+This is a major release that renders HttpCore API incompatible with the stable 4.x branch
+and upgrades HTTP/1.1 protocol conformance to the requirements and recommendations of the latest
+protocol specification. This release lays the foundation for transition to HTTP/2 as the primary
+transport protocol in the future releases.
+
+Notable changes and features included in the 5.0 series are:
+
+* Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol 
+  specification (RFC 7230, RFC 7231)
+
+* Blocking I/O and NIO HTTP transport implementation has been folded into one module
+
+* Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.core5' 
+
+* Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.core5' 
+
+HttpCore 5.0 releases can be co-located with earlier versions.
+
+Please note that as of 5.0 HttpCore requires Java 1.7 or newer.
+
+Please note that at this point 5.0 APIs are considered API experimental and unstable and are
+expected to change in the coming releases without providing a migration path.
