Motivation:
Someone intending to contribute should be able to set up their development environment quickly and easily.
Modifications:
- Added a Maven wrapper such that a local Maven installation isn't necessary.
- Added a .gitattributes such that auto line-endings are enforced.
Result:
- ./mvnw is enough to build.
- Git line-endings are enforced.
- Fixes#7578.
Motivation:
We not ship any forked code of akka and ArrayDeque anymore.
Modifications:
Remove reference from NOTICE.txt and license folder.
Result:
Correctly document license related things.
Motivation:
Netty was missing support for Protobuf nano runtime targeted at
weaker systems such as Android devices.
Modifications:
Added ProtobufDecoderNano and ProtobufDecoderNano
in order to provide support for Nano runtime.
modified ProtobufVarint32FrameDecoder and
ProtobufLengthFieldPrepender in order to remove any
on either Nano or Lite runtime by copying the code
for handling Protobuf varint32 in from Protobuf
library.
modified Licenses and NOTICE in order to reflect the
changes i made.
added Protobuf Nano runtime as optional dependency
Result:
Netty now supports Protobuf Nano runtime.
Motivation:
HttpHeaders already has specific methods for such popular and simple headers like "Host", but if I need to convert POST raw body to string I need to parse complex ContentType header in my code.
Modifications:
Add getCharset and getCharsetAsString methods to parse charset from Content-Length header.
Result:
Easy to use utility method.
Motivation:
The twitter hpack project does not have the support that it used to have. See discussion here: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4403.
Modifications:
Created a new module in Netty and copied the latest from twitter hpack master.
Result:
Netty no longer depends on twitter hpack.
Motivation:
PoolThreadCache did only cache allocations if the allocation and deallocation Thread were the same. This is not optimal as often people write from differen thread then the actual EventLoop thread.
Modification:
- Add MpscArrayQueue which was forked from jctools and lightly modified.
- Use MpscArrayQueue for caches and always add buffer back to the cache that belongs to the allocation thread.
Result:
ThreadPoolCache is now also usable and so gives performance improvements when allocation and deallocation thread are different.
Performance when using same thread for allocation and deallocation is noticable worse then before.
Motivation:
Provide non-blocking XML parser as Netty codec.
Modifications:
New codec implemented/extracted.
io.netty.handler.codec.xml.XmlDecoder decodes XML fed by Netty without blocking.
Result:
Non-blocking XML stream parsing.
Motivation:
LZMA compression algorithm has a very good compression ratio.
Modifications:
- Added `lzma-java` library which implements LZMA algorithm.
- Implemented LzmaFrameEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Added tests to verify the LzmaFrameEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library.
Result:
LZMA encoder which can compress data using LZMA algorithm.
Motivation:
LZ4 compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by very fast LZ4 algorithm.
Modifications:
- Added `lz4` library which implements LZ4 algorithm.
- Implemented Lz4FramedEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Added tests to verify the Lz4FramedEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library.
- Implemented Lz4FramedDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages.
- Added tests to verify the Lz4FramedDecoder and how it can uncompress data after compression using the original library.
- Added integration tests for Lz4FramedEncoder/Decoder.
Result:
Full LZ4 compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using LZ4 algorithm.
Motivation:
FastLZ compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by fast FastLZ algorithm using block mode.
Modifications:
- Added part of `jfastlz` library which implements FastLZ algorithm. See FastLz class.
- Implemented FastLzFramedEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Implemented FastLzFramedDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages.
- Added integration tests for `FastLzFramedEncoder/Decoder`.
Result:
Full FastLZ compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using FastLZ algorithm.
Motivation:
LZF compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by very fast LZF algorithm.
Modifications:
- Added Compress-LZF library which implements LZF algorithm
- Implemented LzfEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages
- Added tests to verify the LzfEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library
- Implemented LzfDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages
- Added tests to verify the LzfDecoder and how it can uncompress data after compression using the original library
- Added integration tests for LzfEncoder/Decoder
Result:
Full LZF compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using LZF algorithm.
Motivation:
We have quite a bit of code duplication between HTTP/1, HTTP/2, SPDY,
and STOMP codec, because they all have a notion of 'headers', which is a
multimap of string names and values.
Modifications:
- Add TextHeaders and its default implementation
- Add AsciiString to replace HttpHeaderEntity
- Borrowed some portion from Apache Harmony's java.lang.String.
- Reimplement HttpHeaders, SpdyHeaders, and StompHeaders using
TextHeaders
- Add AsciiHeadersEncoder to reuse the encoding a TextHeaders
- Used a dedicated encoder for HTTP headers for better performance
though
- Remove shortcut methods in SpdyHeaders
- Replace SpdyHeaders.getStatus() with HttpResponseStatus.parseLine()
Result:
- Removed quite a bit of code duplication in the header implementations.
- Slightly better performance thanks to improved header validation and
hash code calculation
- Move common methods from ByteBuf to Buf
- Rename ensureWritableBytes() to ensureWritable()
- Rename readable() to isReadable()
- Rename writable() to isWritable()
- Add isReadable(int) and isWritable(int)
- Add AbstractMessageBuf
- Rewrite DefaultMessageBuf and QueueBackedMessageBuf
- based on Josh Bloch's public domain ArrayDeque impl
- Borrow SLF4J API which is the best of the best
- InternalLoggerFactory now automatically detects the logging framework
using static class loading. It tries SLF4J, Log4J, and then falls back
to java.util.logging.
- Remove OsgiLogger because it is very likely that OSGi container
already provides a bridge for existing logging frameworks
- Remove JBossLogger because the latest JBossLogger implementation seems
to implement SLF4J binding
- Upgrade SLF4J to 1.7.2
- Remove tests for the untestable logging frameworks
- Remove TestAny
