I would hate to have to bump the version number to 5.0 just because of that. There are examples of Apache projects changing the minimal JRE level requirement with a minor release, but I understand this is quite a stretch. Anyway, I am the one to blame for keeping HttpCore 1.3 compatibility requirement. I guess we will have to live with 1.3 compatibility for now.
