ALPHA release with a partial HTTP/2 support by the end of the year is still realistic. The problem is that HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 have completely different message transport protocols with literally nothing in common but name. If we want the HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 transports share the same protocol handling code and have consistent message handling APIs (most likely we do) I will likely have to completely rewrite the existing HTTP/1.1 message transport code. It is a daunting task. I am still unsure how to approach it best and what impact it may have on the project time line. All I can say I am working on it.
