RELEASE_NOTES.txt

+Release 4.5.9
+-------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release that fixes a number defects discovered since 4.5.8.
+
+
+Changelog:
+-------------------
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1991: incorrect handling of non-standard DNS entries by PublicSuffixMatcher
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
+
+* Fix bug in URIBuilder#isPathEmpty method to verify if encodedPath is an empty string
+  Contributed by Varun Nandi <varunkn at amazon.com>
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1984: Add normalize URI to RequestConfig copy constructor
+  Contributed by Matt Nelson <matt.nelson at cerner.com>
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1976: Unsafe deserialization in DefaultHttpCacheEntrySerializer
+  Contributed by Artem Smotrakov <artem.smotrakov ar gmail.com>
+
+
+
+Release 4.5.8
+-------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release that makes request URI normalization configurable on per request basis
+and also ports several improvements in URI handling from HttpCore master.
+
+
+Changelog:
+-------------------
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1969: Filter out weak cipher suites.
+  Contributed by Artem Smotrakov <artem.smotrakov at sap.com>
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1968: Preserve escaped PATHSAFE characters when normalizing URI path segments.
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1968: URIBuilder to split path component into path segments when digesting a URI
+  (ported from HttpCore master).
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
+
+* Improved cache key generation (ported from HttpCore master).
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1968: added utility methods to parse and format URI path segments (ported
+  from HttpCore master).
+  Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
+
+* HTTPCLIENT-1968: Make normalization of URI paths optional.
+  Contributed by Tamas Cservenak <tamas at cservenak.net>
+
+* Some well known proxies respond with Content-Length=0, when returning 304. For robustness, always use the
+  cached entity's content length, as modern browsers do.
+  Contributed by Author: Jayson Raymond <jraymond at accelerantmobile.com>
