While some of the changes in the `1.8.0` release have already been copied to WordPress Core in earlier releases (see [38727], [46258], [47902] and [49382]), this release contains additional improvements, including:
- A significant performance fix when using cURL.
- Improved compliance with RFC2616.
The library has also been moved under the WordPress project’s GitHub organization and can now be found at https://github.com/WordPress/Requests.
