-Changes since 4.2-BETA1 
+Release 4.2
+-------------------
+
+This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpCore 4.2. The most notable features included in this 
+release are connection pool components for blocking and non-blocking HTTP connections and new 
+asynchronous client and server side protocol handlers.
+
+New protocol handling API used in conjunction with connection pooling components is expected to 
+make development of asynchronous HTTP client agents and HTTP proxies easier and less error prone.
+
+Connection pool components are based on mature code migrated from HttpClient and HttpAsyncClient 
+modules but have a slightly different API that makes a better use of Java standard concurrent 
+primitives.

-All upstream projects are encouraged to upgrade.
-
-HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to build custom
-client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O
-models: blocking I/O model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O
-model based on Java NIO.  The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive,
-low latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more appropriate for high latency
-scenarios where raw data throughput is less important than the ability to handle thousands of
-simultaneous HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner.
