[ANNOUNCE] Apache Commons Pool 2.9.0

[Gary Gregory]

The Apache Commons Pool team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Commons Pool 2.9.0.

Apache Commons Pool provides an object-pooling API and a number of object
pool implementations.
Version 2 contains a completely re-written pooling implementation compared
to the 1.x series.
In addition to performance and scalability improvements, version 2 includes
robust instance
tracking and pool monitoring.

Version 2.9.x requires Java 8 or above.
Version 2.8.x requires Java 8 or above.
Version 2.7.x requires Java 8 or above.
Version 2.6.x requires Java 7 or above.
Version 2.5.x requires Java 7 or above.
Version 2.0 requires 6 or above.

No client code changes are required to migrate from versions 2.0-2.3 to
version 2.4.3.
Users of version 1.x should consult the migration guide on the Commons Pool
web site.

NOTE: The MBean interfaces (DefaultPooledObjectInfoMBean,
GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean
  and GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean) exist only to define the attributes
and methods
  that will be made available via JMX. They must not be implemented by
clients as
  they are subject to change between major, minor and patch version
releases of
  Commons Pool. Clients that implement any of these interfaces may not,
therefore,
  be able to upgrade to a new minor or patch release without requiring
code
  changes.

This is a minor release (Java 8).

Changes in version 2.9.0 include:

Changes:
o POOL-387:  Object factory destroy method should carry information on
activation context. Thanks to Phil Steitz.
oUpdate spotbugs from 4.0.6 to 4.1.3, #37, #41, #46. Thanks to
Dependabot.
oUpdate actions/checkout from v2.3.1 to v2.3.3 #56, #45. Thanks
to Dependabot.
oUpdate actions/setup-java from v1.4.0 to v1.4.2 #42. Thanks to
Dependabot.
oUpdate optional asm-util from 8.0.1 to 9.0 #44. Thanks to
Dependabot.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] HttpComponents Client 5.0.2 GA Released

[Oleg Kalnichevski]

The Apache HttpComponents project is pleased to announce 5.0.2 GA
release of HttpComponents HttpClient.

conformance to RFC 7235 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1):
Authentication) and addresses a number of issues found since 5.0.1
release.

About HttpComponents HttpClient

The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is perhaps the most significant
protocol used on the Internet today. Web services, network-enabled
appliances and the growth of network computing continue to expand the
role of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers, while
increasing the number of applications that require HTTP support.

Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for
accessing resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility
or functionality needed by many applications. HttpClient seeks to fill
this void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich
package implementing the client side of the most recent HTTP standards
and recommendations.

Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP
protocol, HttpClient may be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware
client applications such as web browsers, web service clients, or
systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed
communication.
