Folks There has been surprisingly very few bug reports for the 5.2 series, which can be either a bad thing or a good thing depending on how one looks at it. Anyway, I see no reason to delay 5.2 GA any longer. I would like to get HC 5.2 GA released by October unless someone objects.
While I am at it here is my personal development plan for the 5.3 series 1. Deprecate and disable NTLM by default. Make it opt-int at your risk feature with no support. 2. Deprecate and disable Kerberos by default. Make it opt-int at your risk feature with no support. 3. Remove connection state tracking by the connection pool implementations primarily required for NTLM and Kerberos. Both schemes actually violate the general HTTP protocol philosophy of being state- less. This would greatly simply the connection management logic and make it possible for us to use third-party connection pool implementations such as Commons Pool. Oleg PS: Travis CI sucks. I am almost prepared to remove any use of their services altogether. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
