- It does not build a new Channel but just helps bootstrapping it.
- Added shutdown() method for simpler deinitialization
- ServerChannelBootstrap has shorter method names for the parent channel
- Added ChannelInitializer which is supposed to be used with the
builders
- Echo examples use ChannelBuilder and ServerChannelBuilder now
- Replace ChannelFuture.rethrowIfFailed() with sync*()
- Bug fixes
- Added ChannelBufferHolders.(inbound|outbound)BypassBuffer()
- The holder returned by these methods returns the next handler's
buffer. When a handler's new(Inbound|Outbound)Buffer returns
a bypass holder, your inboundBufferUpdated() and flush()
implementation should check if the buffer is a bypass and should not
modify the content of the buffer.
- Channel(Inbound|Outbound)?HandlerAdapter is now abstract.
- A user has to specify the exact inbound/outbound buffer type
- It's because there's no way to determine the best buffer type
- Implemented LoggingHandler using the new API.
- It doesn't dump received or sent messages yet.
- Fixed a bug where DefaultUnsafe.close() does not trigger deregister()
- Fixed a bug where NioSocketChannel.isActive() does not return false
when closed
- Made sure unnecessary interestOps are not OR'd
- Fixed a bug where DefaultChannelFuture.rethrowIfFailed() returns
silently if the future is not done yet - there's no ways to tell
the differences between failure and incompleteness.
- Optimized AbstractChannelBuffer.discardReadBytes()
- Split ChannelHandlerInvoker into ChannelInboundInvoker and
ChannelOutboundInvoker
- Channel implements ChannelOutboundInvoker
- ChannelOutboundInvoker.nextOut() is now out()
- ChannelOutboundHandlerContext.out() is now prevOut()
- Added the outbound operations without future
parameter to ChannelOutboundInvoker for user convenience
- All async operations which requires a ChannelFuture as a parameter
now returns ChannelFuture for user convenience
- Added ChannelFutureFactory.newVoidFuture() to allow a user specify
a dummy future that is of no use
- I'm unsure if it is actually a good idea to introduce it. It might
go away later.
- Made the contract of AbstractChannel.doXXX() much simpler and moved
all common code up to AbstractChannel.DefaultUnsafe
- Added Channel.isOpen()
- Fixed a bug where MultithreadEventLoop always shut down its child
event loops on construction
- Maybe more changes I don't remember :-)
- Channel now creates a ChannelPipeline by itself
I find no reason to allow a user to use one's own pipeline
implementation since I saw nobody does except for the cases where a
user wants to add a user attribute to a channel, which is now covered
by AttributeMap.
- Removed ChannelEvent and its subtypes because they are replaced by
direct method invocation.
- Replaced ChannelSink with Channel.unsafe()
- Various getter renaming (e.g. Channel.getId() -> Channel.id())
- Added ChannelHandlerInvoker interface
- Implemented AbstractChannel and AbstractServerChannel
- Some other changes I don't remember
Split the project into the following modules:
* common
* buffer
* codec
* codec-http
* transport
* transport-*
* handler
* example
* testsuite (integration tests that involve 2+ modules)
* all (does nothing yet, but will make it generate netty.jar)
This commit also fixes the compilation errors with transport-sctp on
non-Linux systems. It will at least compile without complaints.
