Motivation: Most, but not all defaults are statically exposed on PooledByteBufAllocator. This makes it cumbersome to make a custom allocator where most of the defaults remain the same. Modification: Expose useCacheForAllThreads, and Direct preferred. The latter is needed because it is under the internal package, and public code should probably not depend on it. Result: More customizeable allocators

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
