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:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
Motivation:
This transport is unique because it uses Java's blocking IO (java.io / java.net) under the hood. However it is not clear if this transport is actually useful so it should be removed.
Modifications:
- Remove OIO transport and RXTX transport which depend on it.
- Remove Oio*Sctp* implementations
- Remove PerThreadEventLoop* which was only used by OIO transport.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8510.
Motivation:
The UDT transport was marked as @Deprecated a long time ago as the underlying native library is not really maintained anymore. We should remove it as part of Netty 5.
Modifications:
Remove UDT transport
Result:
Dont try to maintain a transport which uses an unmaintained native lib internally.
Motivation:
There was a typo in a dependency in the bom pom.xml which lead to have it specify a non-existing artifact and also so not have the maven release plugin update the version correctly.
Modifications:
Rename netty-transport-unix-common to netty-transport-native-unix-common and also fix the version.
Result:
Fixes [#6979]
Motivation:
The bom does not provide entries for a number of netty modules, in
particular those that are deployed with classifiers. As a result, they
can't be used without defining a version.
Modifications:
Provide dependency management for the missing modules.
Result:
Fixes [#6852]
Motivation:
The entry for the netty-transport-native-unix-common module in the bom
was using the wrong artifact ID and version.
Modifications:
Correct the artifact ID for the netty-transport-native-unix-common
module in the bom.
Result:
Fixes [#6849]
Motivation:
We need to include the native modules on the bom to ensure there is no version missmatch.
Modifications:
Add native modules.
Result:
Fixes [#6738]
