o Add ByteBuf.hasNioBuffers() method
o Promote CompositeByteBuf.nioBuffers() methods to ByteBuf
o Use ByteBuf.nioBuffers() methods from AioSocketChannel
- Replace ByteBufferBackedByteBuf with DirectByteBuf
- Make DirectByteBuf and HeapByteBuf dynamic
- Remove DynamicByteBuf
- Replace Unpooled.dynamicBuffer() with Unpooled.buffer() and
directBuffer()
- Remove ByteBufFactory (will be replaced with ByteBufPool later)
- Add ByteBuf.Unsafe (might change in the future)
- Removed all methods that requires ByteOrder as a parameter
from Unpooled (formerly ByteBufs/ChannelBuffers)
- Instead, a user calls order(ByteOrder) to get a little endian
version of the user's buffer
- This gives less overwhelming number of methods in Unpooled.
- Add MessageBuf which replaces java.util.Queue
- Add ChannelBuf which is common type of ByteBuf and ChannelBuf
- ChannelBuffers was renamed to ByteBufs
- Add MessageBufs
- All these changes are going to replace ChannelBufferHolder.
- ChannelBuffer gives a perception that it's a buffer of a
channel, but channel's buffer is now a byte buffer or a message
buffer. Therefore letting it be as is is going to be confusing.
