Add one-by-one processing of each HTTP request or response and --offline

CHANGELOG.rst

@@ -11,6 +11,12 @@ This project adheres to `Semantic Versioning <https://semver.org/>`_.
 * Removed Python 2.7 support (`EOL Jan 2020 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/>`_).
 * Removed the default 30-second connection ``--timeout`` limit.
 * Removed Python’s default limit of 100 response headers.
+* Replaced the old collect-all-then-process handling of HTTP communication
+  with one-by-one processing of each HTTP request or response as they become
+  available. This means that you can see headers immediately,
+  see what is being send even when the request fails, etc.
+* Added ``--offline`` to allow building an HTTP request and printing it but not
+  actually sending it over the network.
 * Added ``--max-headers`` to allow setting the max header limit.
 * Added ``--compress`` to allow request body compression.
 * Added ``--ignore-netrc`` to allow bypassing credentials from ``.netrc``.
