1.17.0 (2026-10-27)

Added opt-in observation of the Expect: 100-continue handshake. When a caller places an AtomicBoolean in the
request Context under the key azure-http-client-expect-continue-received, the client sets it to true if the
service answers with an interim 100 Continue response. This does not change how or when the request body is sent.

Fixed asynchronous response downloads blocking Netty event-loop threads while waiting for destination writes.
Response bytes are copied to heap buffers so pending writes remain safe after Netty releases its network buffers.
Fixed timeout resolution to prefer explicit builder values, then builder-specific configuration, then global
configuration, and finally SDK defaults.
Preserved asynchronous file downloads when Netty uses scoped direct buffers on newer JDKs.
Declared the Netty transport dependency directly to prevent older transitive transports from being selected.
Fixed response and read timeouts not being enforced when the write timeout is disabled.

Upgraded azure-core from 1.60.0 to 1.61.0.
Migrated Netty dependencies from 4.1.138.Final to 4.2.19.Final.
Upgraded Reactor Netty from 1.2.18 to 1.3.7 and Reactor from 3.7.19 to 3.8.7.
