Hi Oleg, Gary Thanks. I updated the 5.5-beta1 release notes.
The Notable changes section now summarizes the whole 5.5 release series, based on the 5.5-alpha1 notes, and only adds the Java 17 build requirement. I also reworded it following Gary's comment: Java 17 or newer is required to build HttpCore with Maven, while published artifacts remain compatible with Java 8.
