Hi Oleg, I've seen the message a while back where version 5a3 release had higher priority over releasing 4.5.4.
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hc-httpclient-users/201710.mbox/%3C1507798428.15620.5.camel%40apache.org%3E We are using 4.5.2 in Nexus Repository Manager. 4.5.3 has some nice SSL related fixes we wanted to pick up, but it also had a regression introduced https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1831 that is fixed in 4.5.4 . The regression breaks a lot of of our integration tests. It seems a bit odd a minor fix release with regressions is not released before an alpha major version is released, but I am not the one doing the releasing - easy for me to say. :) Are you still taking the same release approach this day? Anything I can do to convince that 4.5.4 be released soon so we can roll more value out to our customers? Regards, -Peter
