The Apache HttpComponents project is pleased to announce 5.0 GA release of HttpComponents Core.
This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpCore 5.0. Notable changes and features included in the 5.0 series: * Support for HTTP/2 protocol and conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/2 protocol specification (RFC 7540, RFC 7541) Supported features: ** HPACK header compression ** stream multiplexing (client and server) ** flow control ** response push (client and server) ** message trailers ** expect-continue handshake ** connection validation (ping) ** application-layer protocol negotiation (ALPN) on Java 9+ ** TLS 1.2 security features Features out of scope for 5.0 release: ** padding of outgoing frames ** stream priority ** plain connection HTTP/1.1 upgrade ** CONNECT method * Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol specification (RFC 7230, RFC 7231) * New asynchronous HTTP transport APIs consistent for both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 transport. * Redesigned I/O reactor APIs and improved NIO based reactor implementation for a greater performance and scalability. * Support for server-side request filters for classic and asynchronous server implementations. Request filters could be used to implement cross-cutting protocol aspects such as the 'expect-continue' handshaking and user authentication / authorization. * Support for Reactive Streams API [http://www.reactive-streams.org/] * Redesigned connection pool implementation with strict connection limit guarantees. The connection pool is expected to have a better performance under higher concurrency due to reduced global pool lock contention. * New connection pool implementation with lax connection limit guarantees and better performance under higher concurrency due to absence of a global pool lock. * Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.core5' * Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.core5' Download - <http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi> Release notes - <http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpcore/RELEASE_NOTES.txt> HttpComponents site - <http://hc.apache.org/> About HttpComponents Core HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: a blocking I/O model based on the classic Java I/O and a non-blocking, event driven I/O model based on Java NIO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org
