Release 5.4 ALPHA2
Release 5.4 BETA1
------------------
This is the second and likely the last ALPHA release in the 5.3 release series.
It finalizes the new Cache API introduced in the previous ALPHA release and also
improves TLS customization for the classic transport, SNI and endpoint identification
support, authentication data caching, and HTTP context performance. It also introduces
support for optional TLS upgrades for HTTP/1.1 connections.
This is the first BETA release in the 5.4 release series. It upgrades HttpCore to version
5.3-beta1 and adds a few minor improvements and fixes.
IMPORTANT! Please note the new cache entry serialization format is incompatible with earlier
versions of HttpClient Cache. Persistent caches (file system based, Memcached, EhCAche
with object serialization) created with any earlier version MUST be flushed and re-populated
or the cache backend MUST be configured to use the old deprecated cache entry serializer.
