Version 0.12

Closes #829

0.12.0 (March 5th, 2020)

The 0.12 release tightens up the API expectations for httpx by switching to private module names to enforce better clarity around public API.

All imports of httpx should import from the top-level package only, such as from httpx import Request, rather than importing from privately namespaced modules such as from httpx._models import Request.

• Export NetworkError exception. (Pull Adding NetworkError to __init__.py #814)
• Add support for NO_PROXY environment variable. (Pull Enable NO_PROXY environment variable support  #835)

• Fix httpx.Proxy(url, mode="FORWARD_ONLY") configuration. (Pull Fix httpx.Proxy(..., mode="FORWARD_ONLY") configuration. #788)
• Fallback to setting headers as UTF-8 if no encoding is specified. (Pull When setting headers, fallback to utf-8 if no encoding is specified yet. #820)
