Release 5.0
Release 5.0-ALPHA1
-------------------
This is a major release that renders HttpClient 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, RFC 7235)
* Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.client5'
* Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.client5'
* By default the maximum connections per route limit is set to 5
* By default connection request timeout and connect timeout are set to 3 minutes.
HttpClient 5.0 releases can be co-located with earlier versions.
Please note that as of 5.0 HttpClient 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.
