1. What happened to the org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient4 feature?

The ECF project has contributed a new filetransfer provider implementation that takes full advantage of the modern features offered in the latest versions of the Apache HttpClient library, including improved support for proxied corporate environments. The Eclipse Platform has switched to this new provider implementation, which is supplied by the new org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient45 feature. This new feature has replaced the old org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient4 feature in the Eclipse Platform.

2. What happened to the org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient4.ssl feature?

With the adoption of the new filetransfer provider supplied by the org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient45 feature, the bundle fragment supplied by the org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient4.ssl feature is no longer necessary and was consequently removed from the Eclipse Platform.
