Dear hakkers, We are happy to announce the 10.2.0-M1 release of Akka HTTP. This release is the first milestone leading up to version 10.2.0 of Akka HTTP. Among other things, 10.2.0-M1 contains: - Improved API’s and documentation to improve the experience working with Akka 2.6 and the new Actor API’s. Akka HTTP 10.2.0 will keep supporting Akka 2.5. - Some new features, including the ability to [attach attributes to requests and responses](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/10.2/common/http-model.html#attributes). - Improved default configuration, such as [disabling transparent HEAD support by default](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/2088). - Various bug fixes, such as around [percent-encoding URI queries](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/pull/3003) and [parsing headers with unicode characters](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1484). - Various improvements to HTTP/2 support, driven by [Akka gRPC](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-grpc).
