RestSharp 101.0 is now available on NuGet (Update-Package RestSharp or Install-Package RestSharp if not yet installed) and GitHub downloads.

[0] Injecting your own IHttp implementation

var client = new RestClient();
client.HttpFactory = new SimpleFactory<FakeHttp>();

[1] Setting the Culture on XmlDeserializer

var client = new RestClient();
client.AddHandler("text/xml", new XmlDeserializer { Culture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture });

Both of these APIs will probably be overhauled and cleaned up in RestSharp 2xx.

Thanks again to the fantastic community of contributors! I could not keep this project going without you guys. Also thanks to Jon Fuller for his behind-the-scenes contributions in this release window.
