The Jakarta Commons HttpClient development team is pleased to announce 
the release of HttpClient 2.0 final.  This release represents a great 
deal of work by quite a number of people. We would like to thank all of 
those who contributed to this release.

This version contains only a few minor bug fixes. Please visit the

The following changes have been made since Release Candidate 3:

  * 26328 - Fixed getScheme() and getPort() returning wrong defaults for 
HttpsURL

and hashCode() on protocol
    socket factories

String when user info is changed


Thank you,
