Description
At the moment we are using 2.12.x which is still using http client 3.1 while the new release 2.14 bumped the version to 4.1, see http://jackrabbit.510166.n4.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-Apache-Jackrabbit-2-14-0-released-td4666058.html
The main changes in this release are:
- Switch WebDAV client components to HttpClient 4.5.x (summary in JCR-2406)
- Introduction of Commons-VFS Datastore implementation (JCR-3975)
- Allow use of JDK7 features (JCR-4030)
