18 May 2004 - Release of Jakarta Commons HttpClient 3.0 Alpha 1

The Jakarta Commons HttpClient Development Team Team is pleased to announce the first HttpClient 3.0 release.
HttpClient 3.0 provides a wealth of features and enhancements that did not make it into the 2.0 release. We have attempted to preserve API compatibility as much as possible. In a relatively few cases API compatibility with HttpClient 2.0 could not maintained.

Noteworthy enhancements include:
- New preference architecture
- Improved exception handling framework
- Granular non-standards configuration and tracking
- Improved authentication framework
- Plug-in mechanism for authentication modules
- Cookie specification plug-in mechanism
- Cross-site redirect support

This release is targeted at projects already using HttpClient 2.0. Now is the time to evaluate HttpClient 3.0 and give us some feedback, critique or other thought on the new API. Please feel free to file requests for additional features.

Please visit the HttpClient Web site http://commons.apache.org/httpclient/ for more information.

Thank you,

Commons HttpClient Development Team
