 * HTTPGetterInfo was made an internal type as it is an internal implementation detail.
 * DownloadResponse constructor was made internal as there is no need for customers to construct their own responses; all HTTP responses should be generated internally.
+* Removed DEFAULT and NONE static variables. Empty constructors should be used instead. DEFAULT static values were error prone and unsafe to use because although the field was final, the objects were mutable, so it was possible the value could be changed accidentally and alter the behavior of the program.
 
 2018.08.11 Version 10.1.0
 * Interfaces for helper types updated to be more consistent throughout the library. All types, with the exception of the options for pipeline factories, use a fluent pattern.
