This is a major release and contains breaking changes.
Most important changes to be aware of for this release:
* All code is now namespaced. Though there is a full backward compatibility layer available and the old class names are still supported, using them will generate a deprecation notice (which can be silenced by plugins if they'd need to support multiple WP versions). See the [https://requests.ryanmccue.info/docs/upgrading.html upgrade guide] for more details.
* A lot of classes have been marked `final`. This should generally not affect userland code as care has been taken to not apply the `final` keyword to classes which are known to be extended in userland code.
* Extensive input validation has been added to Requests. When Requests is used as documented though, this will be unnoticable.
* A new `WpOrg\Requests\Requests::has_capabilities()` method has been introduced which can be used to address #37708.
* A new `WpOrg\Requests\Response::decode_body()` method has been introduced which may be usable to simplify some of the WP native wrapper code.
* Remaining PHP 8.0 compatibility fixed (support for named parameters).
* PHP 8.1 compatibility.

While some of the changes in the `1.8.0` release have already been copied to WordPress Core in earlier releases (see [38727], [46258], [47902] and [49382]), this release contains additional improvements, including:
- A significant performance fix when using cURL.
- Improved compliance with RFC2616.
The library has also been moved under the WordPress project’s GitHub organization and can now be found at https://github.com/WordPress/Requests.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

Requests is a library very similar to WP_HTTP, with a high level of unit test coverage, and has a common lineage and development team. It also supports parallel requests.
See #33055.
