- <p>For all current committers and anyone wishing to contribute to or use
- <em>HttpClient</em>, we are now in the final stages of 2.0 development.</p>
+ <p>HttpClient development team to pleased to announce that <em>HttpClient
2.0 BETA</em>
+ development phase has been concluded. The number of bugs discovered in the
course of the
+ BETA development has been surprisingly low. We are growing confident that
<em>HttpClient
+ 2.0</em> has reached the required level of maturity, and we hope to have a
final 2.0
+ release by the end of the Summer or the mid Autumn the latest.</p>
- <p>Only bug fixes and documentation enhancements will be made to the 2.0

shortly.</p>
+ <p>Only critical or major bug fixes and javadocs enhancements will be made to
the 2.0
+ code base in the next few weeks.</p>
- <p>Now that 2.0 beta 2 has been released initial development for post 2.0
releases
- can begin. A CVS branch of the 2.0 code will be made shortly so that 2.1
development
- can begin on the HEAD.</p>
+ <p>Meanwhile, the HttpClient development team has been busy working on the
next version
+ of <em>HttpClient 2.0</em>. The next version of HttpClient is going to
build upon the
+ foundation laid with <em>HttpClient 2.0</em> while addressing those
architectural
+ shortcomings and flaws identified in the course of 2.0 development. Several
well known
+ and much complained about problems cannot be resolved while maintaining
complete 2.0 API
+ compatibility. The primary objective of the next version is to fix those
design limitations,
+ breaking 2.0 API compatibility where absolutely unavoidable, while
preserving overall
+ compatibility with 2.0 use patterns.</p>
+
+ <p>Depending upon how drastic those API changes are going to be, the next
version of
+ HttpClient will be designated as <tt>2.1</tt>, <tt>2.5</tt> or
<tt>3.0</tt>.
+ The decision is to be taken before 2.0 final release.</p>
+
+ <p>It is important to note that HttpClient CVS HEAD may (and already is) no
longer be
+ compatible with 2.0 APIs. We strongly encourage to use
<tt>HTTPCLIENT_2_0_BRANCH</tt>
+ until next version API are stabilized.</p>
