Yes. this would be rendered on the Javadoc page https://docs.aws.amazon.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/http/apache/ApacheHttpClient.Builder.html
ApacheHttpClient, which is based on Apache HttpClient 4.x is being deprecated in favor of the Apache 5.x HTTP client. The Apache 5.x client has already replaced the 4.x client as the default sync HTTP client since 2.46.0. Apache 5.x is actively maintained and receives new feature updates whereas Apache 4.x is in maintenance mode, only receiving critical fixes.
