Just realized I missed adding a changelog entry. Will add! |
ApacheHttpClient, which is based on Apache HttpClient 4.x is being deprecated in favor of the Apache 5.x HTTP client. The Apache 5.x client has already replaced the 4.x client as the default sync HTTP client since 2.46.0. Apache 5.x is actively maintained and receives new feature updates whereas Apache 4.x is in maintenance mode, only receiving critical fixes.
