Httpxyz One Month In

- httpxyz forked httpx a month ago, now offering many bug fixes and significantly better performance.
- The fork initially fixed zstd support and Python 3.14 compatibility, then added a compatibility shim for third-party packages and lazy CLI imports to improve import time.
- httpcorexyz was forked to address underlying transport issues, with performance improvements including faster lock acquires, reduced try/except overhead, and fixes for deadlocks and race conditions.
- Version 0.31.0 of httpxyz includes these updates, making it recommended to switch from httpx for both fixes and performance gains.
- Adoption is growing with positive feedback from the community, though still limited, and the project is hosted on Codeberg to reduce reliance on GitHub.
