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.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

This introduces a minimum value of 1 second for timeouts passed to cURL.
Internally, cURL uses alarm() for interrupts, which accepts a second-resolution timeout. Any values lower than 1 second are instantly failed rather than being rounded upwards. While this makes the experience worse for those using asynchronous DNS lookups, there's no way to detect which DNS resolver is being used from PHP.
