Hi Roland, Going BETA will not preclude us from adding new features to the HttpCore API. We will no longer be able remove / rename classes / methods and will have to use deprecation in order to preserve compile API compatibility BETA-1 onwards. So, no more radical rewrites, but we still should have enough room for adding new stuff. Anyways, I expect more than one ALPHA before we are ready to freeze the API and by any means would like to see the first ALPHA of HttpClient released before the first BETA of HttpCore.
