Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
The linux-aarch64 packages are not declared in netty-bom. There are no consistency checks for netty bom, hence it can easily miss updates when artifacts are added.
Modifications:
- Add declarations.
- Modify netty-all to depend on netty-bom for version declarations,
thus requiring netty-bom to be uptodate.
Result:
Be able to reference aarch64 packages without an explicit version. The content of netty-all is guaranteed to be declared in netty-bom, adding a safety net.

Motivation:
The defined classifier for aarch64 was not correct
Modifications:
Fix classifier
Result:
Be able to correctly include the aarch64 native libs
Motivation:
`transport-native-epoll` doesn't have ARM release package.
Modification:
This PR added cross compile profile for epoll. Then we can easily build aarch64 package on X86 machine.
Result:
Fixes#8279
Motivation:
42aa7f0c58 did update the checkstyle version but missed that we declared it explicitly in the all artifact as well.
Modifications:
Remove explicit definition in the all artifact.
Result:
Use latest checkstyle version everywhere.
Motivation:
On MacOS it is not really good enough to check /etc/resolv.conf to determine the nameservers to use. We should retrieve the nameservers using the same way as mDNSResponser and chromium does by doing a JNI call.
Modifications:
Add MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider and testcase
Result:
Use correct nameservers by default on MacOS.
Motivation:
We need to also include the native-image configuration files in the netty all jar to be able to use it with GraalVM native.
Modifications:
Add files in META-INF/native-image as well
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9514
Motivation:
While building netty-all we should always include all classes for native transports no matter if the native part can be build or not. This was it is easier to test locally with a installed snapshot of netty-all when the code that uses it does enable a specific native transport depending on if the native bits can be loaded or not.
Modifications:
Always include classes of native transports no matter on which platfrom we build. When a release is done we ensure we include the native bits by using the uber-staging profile.
Result:
Easier testing with netty-all snapshots.
Motivation:
Netty is very widely used which can lead to a lot of pain when we break API / ABI. We should make use japicmp-maven-plugin during the build to verify we do not introduce breakage by mistake.
Modifications:
- Add japicmp-maven-plugin to the build process
- Fix a method signature change in HttpProxyHandler that was flagged as a possible problem.
Result:
Ensure no API/ABI breakage accour between releases.
