Sourced from retrofit's changelog.

Version 2.5.0 (2018-11-18)

• New: Built-in support for Kotlin's Unit type. This behaves the same as Java's Void where the body content is ignored and immediately discarded.
• New: Built-in support for Java 8's Optional and CompletableFuture types. Previously the 'converter-java8' and 'adapter-java8' dependencies were needed and explicitly adding Java8OptionalConverterFactory and/or Java8CallAdapterFactory to your Retrofit.Builder in order to use these types. Support is now built-in and those types and their artifacts are marked as deprecated.
• New: Invocation class provides a reference to the invoked method and argument list as a tag on the underlying OkHttp Call. This can be accessed from an OkHttp interceptor for things like logging, analytics, or metrics aggregation.
• New: Kotlin extension for Retrofit which allows you call create passing the interface type only as a generic parameter (e.g., retrofit.create<MyService>()).
• New: Added Response.success overload which allows specifying a custom 2xx status code.
• New: Added Calls.failure overload which allows passing any Throwable subtype.
• New: Minimal R8 rules now ship inside the jar requiring no client configuration in the common case.
• Fix: Do not propagate fatal errors to the callback. They are sent to the thread's uncaught exception handler.
• Fix: Do not enqueue/execute an otherwise useless call when the RxJava type is disposed by onSubscribe.
• Fix: Call RxJavaPlugins assembly hook when creating an RxJava 2 type.
• Fix: Ensure both the Guava and Java 8 Optional converters delegate properly. This ensures that converters registered prior to the optional converter can be used for deserializing the body type.
• Fix: Prevent @Path values from participating in path-traversal. This ensures untrusted input passed as a path value cannot cause you to make a request to an un-intended relative URL.
• Fix: Simple XML converter (which is deprecated) no longer wraps subtypes of RuntimeException or IOException when it fails.
• Fix: Prevent JAXB converter from loading remote entities and DTDs.
• Fix: Correctly detect default methods in interfaces on Android (API 24+). These still do not work, but now a correct exception will be thrown when detected.
• Fix: Report more accurate exceptions when a @QueryName or @QueryMap precedes a @Url parameter.
• Update OkHttp dependency to 3.12.

Version 2.4.0 (2018-03-14)

• New: Retrofit.Builder exposes mutable lists of the added converter and call adapter factories.
• New: Call adapter added for Scala's Future.
• New: Converter for JAXB replaces the now-deprecated converter for Simple XML Framework.
• New: Add Java 9 automatic module names for each artifact corresponding to their root package.
• Fix: Do not swallow Errors from callbacks (usually OutOfMemoryError).
• Fix: Moshi and Gson converters now assert that the full response was consumed. This prevents hiding bugs in faulty adapters which might not have consumed the full JSON input which would then cause failures on the next request over that connection.
• Fix: Do not conflate OkHttp Call cancelation with RxJava unsubscription/disposal. Prior to this change, canceling of a Call would prevent a cancelation exception from propagating down the Rx stream.
