Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0.1 (GA) Released
Reply-To: HttpComponents Project <d...@hc.apache.org>
HttpClient 4.0.1 is a bug fix release that addresses a number of
issues discovered since the previous stable release. None of the

eliminates eliminates dependency on JCIP annotations.
This release is also expected to improve performance by 5 to 10% due
to elimination of unnecessary Log object lookups by short-lived

About Apache HttpClient
Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for
accessing
resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or
functionality needed by many applications. HttpClient seeks to fill
this
void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich package
implementing the client side of the most recent HTTP standards and
recommendations.
Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base
HTTP
protocol, HttpClient may be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware
client applications such as web browsers, web service clients, or
systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed
communication.
