 # 10.1.x Release Notes
 
+## 10.1.0-RC2
+
+See the [announcement](https://akka.io/blog/news/2018/02/12/akka-http-10.1.0-RC2-released.html) and
+closed tickets on the [10.1.0-RC2 milestone](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/milestone/34?closed=1).
+
+10.1.0-RC2 is the second release candidate for the upcoming Akka HTTP 10.1.0. We focused on stabilizing the new
+client connection pool. Over the last month our test suite caught lots of edge cases that were fixed for this release.
+Also, we improved logging output for the new pool.
+
+### List of changes
+
+#### Improvements
+
+##### akka-http-core
+
+ * Add HTTP status code `421` ([#1749](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1749))
+ * Add HTTP status code `103` ([#1803](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1803))
+ * Add `Uri.Path` `?/` operator #1793 ([#1794](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1794))
+ * Add `UserAgent` header parse Java Api ([#1807](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1807))
+ * Optimization: Avoid creation of async callback per request in RequestTimeoutStage ([#1848](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1848))
+ * Add `application/grpc+proto` content type / media type ([#1844](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1844))
+ * LogByteStringTools now logs errors on debug log (it's a debug feature after all) ([#1780](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1780))
+ * Suggest valid max-open-requests values on config error ([#1806](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1806))
+ * Log the timed out request on server ([#1813](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1813))
+ * Be more lenient to allow trailing whitespace after chunk size ([#1812](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1812))
+ * In `Http().serverLayer` use `delayCancellation` to make behavior consistent with other server entry points ([#1822](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1822))
+ * Add `HttpMessage.withProtocol` overload to return Scala type ([#1730](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1730))
+
+##### akka-http2-support
+
+ * Add `Tls-session-info` header for http/2 ([#1432](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1432))
+
+##### akka-http
+
+ * Add Java onSuccess overload to take a strict value ([#1821](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1821))
+
+##### Infrastructure
+
+ * Lots of small documentation fixes
+ * Use sbt-header to manage copyright headers
+ * Introduce `WithLogCapturing` trait for suppressing log output for successful tests which allows more aggressive
+   logging by default (which will be shown only for failures)
+ * Fix search on documentation pages to return only one version of each page
+ * Disable parallel testing on Jenkins to reduce spurious failures
+
+#### Bug Fixes
+
+##### akka-http-core
+
+ * New client pool: Fix double registration for dispatch ([#1726](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1726))
+ * New client pool: Automatically close connection when slot state -> Unconnected ([#1724](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1724))
+ * New client pool: Make sure that failed and retryable requests are re-dispatched immediately ([#1735](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1735))
+ * New client pool: Ignore "request entity completed" in state WaitingForResponseDispatch ([#1774](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1774))
+ * New client pool: After slot failures remove slot from response dispatching queue ([#1775](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1775))
+ * New client pool: Log retried request info ([#1781](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1781))
+ * Parse and render token correctly for HttpChallenge and GenericHttpCredentials ([#1353](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1353))
+ * Fix utf16 surrogate pair decoding in utf8 encoder ([#1760](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1760))
+ * Use `431` status code when header exceeds max length for name or value ([#1800](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1800))
+ * Fix customMediaTypes disabling predefined media type parsing ([#1786](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1786))
+ * TLS should close connection when instructed by stream completion ([#380](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/380))
