Motivation: When a thread-local random is used first time, it tries to get the initial seed uniquifier from SecureRandom, and it sometimes takes time for the system to have enough entropy. In ChannelDeregistrationTest, the retrieval of the initial seed uniquifier takes place lazily when a new channel is created, and it blocks the channel creation for more than 2 seconds, resulting in test timeouts. Modifications: Increase the timeout of the tests to 5 seconds, because the timeout of the initial seed uniquifier retrieval is 3 seconds. Result: Less flakey tests

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
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other 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.
