- Fixes#1808
- Move all methods in ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler up to ChannelHandler
- Remove ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler
- Deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter, ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter, and ChannelDuplexHandler
- Replace CombinedChannelDuplexHandler with ChannelHandlerAppender
because it's not possible to combine two handlers into one easily now
- Introduce 'Skip' annotation to pass events through efficiently
- Remove all references to the deprecated types and update Javadoc
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
- Fixes#1912
- Add ChannelHandlerInvoker and its default implementation
- Add pipeline manipulation methods that accept ChannelHandlerInvoker
- Rename Channel(Inbound|Outbound)Invoker to
Channel(Inbound|Outbound)Ops to avoid confusion
- Remove the Javadoc references to the package-private interfaces
- Fixes#1810
- Add a new interface ChannelId and its default implementation which generates globally unique channel ID.
- Replace AbstractChannel.hashCode with ChannelId.hashCode() and ChannelId.shortValue()
- Add variants of ByteBuf.hexDump() which accept byte[] instead of ByteBuf.
- Fixes#1905
- Call ctx.flush() only when necessary
- Improve the estimation of application and packet buffer sizes
- decode() method now tries to call unwrap() with as many SSL records as
possible to reduce the number of events triggered
This changeset implements the full memcache binary protocol spec, including
a first batch of tests. Ascii protocol and more coverage and helper classes
will follow.
