Hello I had a look at bugs, enhancements and pending mailing lists discussions.
After release of HttpClient 4.5.2, we are now ready to finalize the 3.0 version. I added a Tag "fix_before_3.0" on issues that are pending : Here is the list: 59083 JMeter HTTP NEW --- HTTP Request : Make Method field editable so that additional methods (Webdav) can be added easily => PATCH nearly ready to be commited 59038 JMeter HTTP NEW --- Deprecate HTTPClient 3.1 related elements => Some deprecation work to do 59033 JMeter HTTP NEW --- Parallel Download : Add CSS Parsing to extract links from CSS files => Patch Part1 ready to commit, we could stop for now and complete it in 3.1 by adding an implementation similar to HTMLRegexParser that extracts url() 58986 JMeter Main REOP --- Report/Dashboard reuses the same output directory => Waiting for sebb answer, not a lot of work 58807 JMeter HTTP NEED --- https.use.cached.ssl.context=false is broken => Patch waiting to be commited 57182 JMeter Main NEW --- Better defaults : Save idle time by default => Not mandatory I will work on: - 59038 - 58986 if you are ok with my solution last comment on bug Besides this we had some documentation update: - Screenshots - New and Noteworthy section which should be very rich Once this is done, for release, what do you think of the following: - We send on user mailing list and twitter a message to ask users to test nightly build and wait for 1 week for feedback - We then start the release process Regards Philippe
