-
-- Make it possible to [unset](https://httpie.io/docs/cli/default-request-headers) the `User-Agent`, `Accept-Encoding`, and `Host` request headers. ([#1502](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1502))

+- Make it possible to [unset](https://httpie.io/docs/cli/default-request-headers) the `User-Agent`, and `Accept-Encoding` headers. ([#1502](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1502))
+- Dependency on requests was changed in favor of compatible niquests. ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added support for HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 protocols. ([#523](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/523)) ([#692](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/692)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added request metadata for the TLS certificate, negotiated version with cipher, and his revocation status and the remote peer IP address. ([#1495](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1495)) ([#1023](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1023)) ([#826](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/826)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added support to load the operating system trust store for the peer certificate validation. ([#480](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/480)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added detailed timings in response metadata with DNS resolution, established, TLS handshake, and request sending delays. ([#1023](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1023)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added support for using alternative DNS resolver using `--resolver`. DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS, DNS over QUIC, and DNS over UDP are accepted. ([#99](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/99)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added support for binding to a specific network adapter with `--interface`. ([#1422](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1422)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added support for specifying the local port with `--local-port`. ([#1456](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1456)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Added support for forcing either IPv4 or IPv6 to reach the remote HTTP server with `-6` or `-4`. ([#94](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/94)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Removed support for pyopenssl. ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Dropped dependency on `requests_toolbelt` in favor of directly including `MultipartEncoder` into HTTPie due to its direct dependency to requests. ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Dropped dependency on `multidict` in favor of implementing an internal one due to often missing pre-built wheels. ([#1522](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1522)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Fixed the case when multiple headers where concatenated in the response output. ([#1413](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1413)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))
+- Fixed an edge case where HTTPie could be lead to believe data was passed in stdin, thus sending a POST by default. ([#1551](https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1551)) ([#1531](https://github.com/httpie/cli/pull/1531))

+## Disable HTTP/2, or HTTP/3
+
+You can at your own discretion toggle on and off HTTP/2, or/and HTTP/3.
+
+```bash
+$ https --disable-http2 PUT pie.dev/put hello=world
+```
+
+```bash
+$ https --disable-http3 PUT pie.dev/put hello=world
+```
+
+## Force HTTP/3
+
+By opposition to the previous section, you can force the HTTP/3 negotiation.
+
+```bash
+$ https --http3 pie.dev/get
+```
+
+By default, HTTPie cannot negotiate HTTP/3 without a first HTTP/1.1, or HTTP/2 successful response unless the
+remote host specified a DNS HTTPS record that indicate its support.
+
+The remote server yield its support for HTTP/3 in the Alt-Svc header, if present HTTPie will issue
+the successive requests via HTTP/3. You may use that argument in case the remote peer does not support
+either HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2.
+
+## Custom DNS resolver
+
+### Using DNS url
+
+You can specify one or many custom DNS resolvers using the `--resolver` flag. They will be tested in
+presented order to resolver given hostname.
+
+```bash
+$ https --resolver "doh+cloudflare://" pie.dev/get
+```
+
+To know more about DNS url and supported protocols, visit [Niquests documentation](https://niquests.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/quickstart.html#dns-resolution).
+
+### Forcing hostname to resolve with a manual entry
+
+It is possible to fake DNS resolution using a virtual resolver. We'll make use of the `--resolver` flag
+using the `in-memory` provider.
+
+```bash
+$ https --resolver "in-memory://default/?hosts=pie.dev:10.10.4.1" pie.dev/get
+```
+
+In that example, `pie.dev` will resolve to `10.10.4.1`. The TLS HELLO / SNI will be set with host = `pie.dev`.
+
+## Attach to a specific network adapter
+
+In order to bind emitted request from a specific network adapter you can use the `--interface` flag.
+
+```bash
+$ https --interface 172.17.0.1 pie.dev/get
+```
+
+## Enforcing IPv4 or IPv6
+
+Since HTTPie 4, you may pass the flags `--ipv4, -4` or `--ipv6, -6` to enforce connecting to an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
+
+```bash
+$ https -4 pie.dev/get
