+ <section name="17 May 2004 - HttpClient 3.0 alpha1 released">
+ <p>We are pleased to announce the first HttpClient 3.0 release.
+ HttpClient 3.0 provides a wealth of features and enhancements
+ that did not make it into the 2.0 release, while preserving API
+ compatibility as much as possible. In a relatively few cases
+ <a
href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/httpclient/API_CHANGES_3_0.txt?view=markup";>API
+ compatibility with HttpClient 2.0</a> could not maintained.

+ <p>
+ Noteworthy 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>
+ We see our fellow Apache developers as well as other open-source
+ projects already reliant on HttpClient as the primary target
+ audience for this release. This is the right time to evaluate
+ HttpClient 3.0 and give us some feedback, critique or other thought on
+ the new API. Please feel free to file requests for additional features.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The goal of the second ALPHA release is to incorporate the feedback,
polish
+ the API, and update documentation. The next ALPHA release will target the
+ wider audience beyond the Apache Jakarta and Apache WS communities.

+ <p>
+ Please <a href="downloads.html">download</a> and
+ let us know what you think.

- <p>The HttpClient development team is pleased to announce the final release
of
- <em>HttpClient 2.0</em>. Much effort has gone into the 2.0 release and we
are
- confident that it is ready for the 2.0 final designation.</p>
-
- <p>From this point forward only bugs fixes will be added to the 2.0 branch.
Efforts
- will now be focused on the next major HttpClient release.</p>
-
- <p>The next version of <em>HttpClient</em> 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>A number of enhancements have already been made to the post-2.0 codebase.
We
- already have a new preference architecture in place that will help us
provide a
- fine-grained control over HttpClient without polluting its API with too
many options. We
- have also completely reworked redirect/authentication/retry logic and can
now support
- cross-host redirects, a much complained about limitation of <em>HttpClient
2.0</em>.</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 will be made prior to the 2.0 final release.</p>
