 ## Unreleased - 2021-xx-xx
 
 
+## 3.0.0 - 2022-03-07
+### Dependencies

+- Updated `bytes` to `1.0`. [#1813]
+- Updated `cookie` to `0.16`. [#2555]
+- Updated `rand` to `0.8`.
+- Updated `rustls` to `0.20`. [#2414]
+- Updated `tokio` to `1`.
+
+### Added
+- `trust-dns` crate feature to enable `trust-dns-resolver` as client DNS resolver; disabled by default. [#1969]
+- `cookies` crate feature; enabled by default. [#2619]
+- `compress-brotli` crate feature; enabled by default. [#2250]
+- `compress-gzip` crate feature; enabled by default. [#2250]
+- `compress-zstd` crate feature; enabled by default. [#2250]
+- `client::Connector::handshake_timeout()` for customizing TLS connection handshake timeout. [#2081]
+- `client::ConnectorService` as `client::Connector::finish` method's return type [#2081]
+- `client::ConnectionIo` trait alias [#2081]
+- `Client::headers()` to get default mut reference of `HeaderMap` of client object. [#2114]
+- `ClientResponse::timeout()` for set the timeout of collecting response body. [#1931]
+- `ClientBuilder::local_address()` for binding to a local IP address for this client. [#2024]
+- `ClientRequest::insert_header()` method which allows using typed and untyped headers. [#1869]
+- `ClientRequest::append_header()` method which allows using typed and untyped headers. [#1869]
+- `ClientBuilder::add_default_header()` (and deprecate `ClientBuilder::header()`). [#2510]
+
+### Changed
+- `client::Connector` type now only has one generic type for `actix_service::Service`. [#2063]
+- `client::error::ConnectError` Resolver variant contains `Box<dyn std::error::Error>` type. [#1905]
+- `client::ConnectorConfig` default timeout changed to 5 seconds. [#1905]
+- `ConnectorService` type is renamed to `BoxConnectorService`. [#2081]
+- Fix http/https encoding when enabling `compress` feature. [#2116]
+- Rename `TestResponse::{header => append_header, set => insert_header}`. These methods now take a `TryIntoHeaderPair`. [#2094]
+- `ClientBuilder::connector()` method now takes `Connector<T, U>` type. [#2008]
+- Basic auth now accepts blank passwords as an empty string instead of an `Option`. [#2050]
+- Relax default timeout for `Connector` to 5 seconds (up from 1 second). [#1905]
+- `*::send_json()` and `*::send_form()` methods now receive `impl Serialize`. [#2553]
+- `FrozenClientRequest::extra_header()` now uses receives an `impl TryIntoHeaderPair`. [#2553]
+- Rename `Connector::{ssl => openssl}()`. [#2503]
+- `ClientRequest::send_body` now takes an `impl MessageBody`. [#2546]
+- Rename `MessageBody => ResponseBody` to avoid conflicts with `MessageBody` trait. [#2546]
+- Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.54.
+
+### Fixed
+- Send headers along with redirected requests. [#2310]
+- Improve `Client` instantiation efficiency when using `openssl` by only building connectors once. [#2503]
+- Remove unnecessary `Unpin` bounds on `*::send_stream`. [#2553]
+- `impl Future` for `ResponseBody` no longer requires the body type be `Unpin`. [#2546]
+- `impl Future` for `JsonBody` no longer requires the body type be `Unpin`. [#2546]
+- `impl Stream` for `ClientResponse` no longer requires the body type be `Unpin`. [#2546]
+
+### Removed
+- `compress` crate feature. [#2250]
+- `ClientRequest::set`; use `ClientRequest::insert_header`. [#1869]
+- `ClientRequest::set_header`; use `ClientRequest::insert_header`. [#1869]
+- `ClientRequest::set_header_if_none`; use `ClientRequest::insert_header_if_none`. [#1869]
+- `ClientRequest::header`; use `ClientRequest::append_header`. [#1869]
+- Deprecated methods on `ClientRequest`: `if_true`, `if_some`. [#2148]
