### Creating the `Settings` only once with `lru_cache` { #creating-the-settings-only-once-with-lru-cache }

Reading a file from disk is normally a costly (slow) operation, so you probably want to do it only once and then reuse the same settings object, instead of reading it for each request.

But every time we do:

```Python
Settings()
```

	factor float64

	// maximum sleep cap,
	// set to <= 0 to disable.
	maxSleep time.Duration

	// Don't sleep at all, if time taken is below this value.
	// This is to avoid too small costly sleeps.
	minSleep time.Duration

	// cycle will be closed
	cycle chan struct{}

	// isScanner should be set when this is used by the scanner
	// to record metrics.
	isScanner bool
}

     above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
     possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
     waiver of all liability.

**With this release, `okhttp-tls` no longer depends on Bouncy Castle and doesn't install the
Bouncy Castle security provider.** If you still need it, you can do it yourself:

```
Security.addProvider(BouncyCastleProvider())
```

You will also need to configure this dependency:

Upgrading to OkHttp 4
=====================

OkHttp 4.x upgrades our implementation language from Java to Kotlin and keeps everything else the
same. We’ve chosen Kotlin because it gives us powerful new capabilities while integrating closely
with Java.

We spent a lot of time and energy on retaining strict compatibility with OkHttp 3.x. We’re even
keeping the package name the same: `okhttp3`!

There are three kinds of compatibility we’re tracking:
