- Feign is now being built and tested with OpenJDK 11 as well. Releases and code base will use JDK 8, we are just testing compatibility with JDK 11.

* `RetryException` includes the `Method` used for the offending `Request` .
* `Response` objects now contain the `Request` used.
### Version 9.6
* Feign builder now supports flag `doNotCloseAfterDecode` to support lazy iteration of responses.
* Adds `JacksonIteratorDecoder` and `StreamDecoder` to decode responses as `java.util.Iterator` or `java.util.stream.Stream` .
### Version 9.5.1
* When specified, Content-Type header is now included on OkHttp requests lacking a body.
* Sets empty HttpEntity if apache request body is null.
### Version 9.5
* Introduces `feign-java8` with support for `java.util.Optional`
* Adds `Feign.Builder.mapAndDecode()` to allow response preprocessing before decoding it.
### Version 9.4.1
* 404 responses are no longer swallowed for `void` return types.

* Previously the OkhttpClient would throw an exception, and ApacheHttpClient
would report a wrong, possibly negative value
* Adds support for encoded query parameters in `@QueryMap` via `@QueryMap(encoded = true)`
* Keys in `Response.headers` are now lower-cased. This map is now case-insensitive with regards to keys,
and iterates in lexicographic order.
* This is a step towards supporting http2, as header names in http1 are treated as case-insensitive
and http2 down-cases header names.
### Version 8.17
* Adds support to RxJava Completable via `HystrixFeign` builder with fallback support
* Upgraded hystrix-core to 1.4.26

* **Note:** You might need to URL-encode literal values of `{` or `%` in your existing code.
### Version 8.14
* Add support for RxJava Observable and Single return types via the `HystrixFeign` builder.
* Adds fallback implementation configuration to the `HystrixFeign` builder
* Bumps dependency versions, most notably Gson 2.5 and OkHttp 2.7
### Version 8.13
* Never expands >8kb responses into memory
Adds Feign.Builder.decode404() to reduce boilerplate for empty semantics
This adds the `Feign.Builder.decode404()` flag which indicates decoders
should process responses with 404 status. It also changes all
first-party decoders (like gson) to return well-known empty values by
default. Further customization is possible by wrapping or creating a
custom decoder.
Prior to this change, we used custom invocation handlers as the way to
add fallback values based on exception or return status. `feign-hystrix`
uses this to return `HystrixCommand<X>`, but the general pattern applies
to anything that has a type representing both success and failure, such
as `Try<X>` or `Observable<X>`.
As we define it here, 404 status is not a retry or fallback policy, it
is just empty semantics. By limiting Feign's special processing to 404,
we gain a lot with very little supporting code.
If instead we opened all codes, Feign could easily turn bad request,
redirect, or server errors silently to null. This sort of configuration
issue is hard to troubleshoot. 404 -> empty is a very safe policy vs
all codes.
Moreover, we don't create a cliff, where folks seeking fallback policy
eventually realize they can't if only given a response code. Fallback
systems like Hystrix address exceptions that occur before or in lieu of
a response. By special-casing 404, we avoid a slippery slope of half-
implementing Hystrix.
Finally, 404 handling has been commonly requested: it has a clear use-
case, and through that value. This design supports that without breaking
compatibility, or impacting existing integrations such as Hystrix or
Ribbon.
