seanmonstar/reqwest v0.5.0 on GitHub

Features

Automatic GZIP decoding: By default, Client will try to decode any responses that appear to be gzip encoded (based on headers). This can be disabled via client.gzip(false) (ab5e477)
Specify a timeout for requests using client.timeout(duration). (ec049fe)
Request bodies with a known length can be constructed with Body::sized() (82f1877)
Add Client.put, Client.patch, and Client.delete convenience methods (c37b8aa, 4d6582d, a3983f3)
Add reqwest::mime (0615c6d)

Breaking Changes

The only breaking change is a behavioral one, all programs should still compile without modification. The automatic GZIP decoding could interfere in cases where a user was expecting the GZIP bytes, either to save to a file or decode themselves. To restore this functionality, set client.gzip(false).
