- Fixes#2014
- Add the tests that mix JDK ZLIB codec and JZlib codecs
- Fix a bug where JdkZlibEncoder does not encode the GZIP header when nothing was written to te channel
- Fix a bug where the encoders do not consider the overhead of the wrapper format when calculating the estimated compressed output size.
- Fix a bug where the decoders do not discard the received data after the compressed stream is finished
- 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
- Proposed fix for #1824
UniqueName and its subtypes do not allow getting the previously registered instance. For example, let's assume that a user is running his/her application in an OSGi container with Netty bundles and his server bundle. Whenever the server bundle is reloaded, the server will try to create a new AttributeKey instance with the same name. However, Netty bundles were not reloaded at all, so AttributeKey will complain that the name is taken already (by the previously loaded bundle.)
To fix this problem:
- Replaced UniqueName with Constant, AbstractConstant, and ConstantPool. Better name and better design.
- Sctp/Udt/RxtxChannelOption is not a ChannelOption anymore. They are just constant providers and ChannelOption is final now. It's because caching anything that's from outside of netty-transport will lead to ClassCastException on reload, because ChannelOption's constant pool will keep all option objects for reuse.
- Signal implements Constant because we can't ensure its uniqueness anymore by relying on the exception raised by UniqueName's constructor.
This fixes#1664 and revert also the original commit which was meant to fix it 3b1881b523 . The problem with the original commit was that it could delay handlerRemove(..) calls and so mess up the order or forward bytes to late.
- write() now accepts a ChannelPromise and returns ChannelFuture as most
users expected. It makes the user's life much easier because it is
now much easier to get notified when a specific message has been
written.
- flush() does not create a ChannelPromise nor returns ChannelFuture.
It is now similar to what read() looks like.
- Remove channelReadSuspended because it's actually same with messageReceivedLast
- Rename messageReceived to channelRead
- Rename messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete
We renamed messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete because it
reflects what it really is for. Also, we renamed messageReceived to
channelRead for consistency in method names.
