Motivation:
https in xmlns URIs does not work and will let the maven release plugin fail:
```

Modifications:
Use http for xmlns
Result:
Be able to use maven release plugin
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:
Avoid keeping unused dependencies around.
Modification:
Remove all references to javassist dependency, since it does not appear to be used by anything.
Result:
One less dependency to worry about.
Motivation:
We don't have example code for smtp.
Modifications:
Add SmtpClient and SmtpClientHandler.
Result:
Provide an example for developers who want to write a smtp client.
Motivation:
Add support for HAProxyMessageEncoder.
This should help java based HAProxy server implementations propagate proxy information.
Modification:
Add public constructors for `HAProxyMessage`, `HAProxyTLV`, `HAProxySSLTLV`.
Add additional argument checks for `HAProxyMessage` and modify exceptions thrown when creating via public constructors directly.
Introduce a `@Sharable` `HAProxyMessageEncoder` which encodes a `HAProxyMessage` into a byte array.
Add an example `HAProxyServer` and `HAProxyClient` to `io.netty.example`
Result:
Fixes#10164
Motivation:
Recently I'm going to build MQTT broker and client based on Netty. I had MQTT encoder and decoder founded, while no basic examples. So I'm going to share my simple heartBeat MQTT broker and client as an example.
Modification:
New MQTT heartBeat example under io.netty.example/mqtt/heartBeat/.
Result:
Client would send CONNECT and PINGREQ(heartBeat message).
- CONNECT: once channel active
- PINGREQ: once IdleStateEvent triggered, which is 20 seconds in this example
Client would discard all messages it received.
MQTT broker could handle CONNECT, PINGREQ and DISCONNECT messages.
- CONNECT: send CONNACK back
- PINGREQ: send PINGRESP back
- DISCONNECT: close the channel
Broker would close the channel if 2 heartBeat lost, which set to 45 seconds in this example.
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.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
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:
Java 11 will be out soon, so we should be able to build (and run tests) netty.
Modifications:
- Add dependency that is needed till Java 11
- Adjust tests so these also pass on Java 11 (SocketChannelImpl.close() behavious a bit differently now).
Result:
Build also works (and tests pass) on Java 11.
