Motivation: UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider allows the default name server address stream to be null, but there should always be a default stream to fall back to ([1] Search Strategy). UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider currently shuffles the names servers are multiple are present, but the defined behavior is to try them sequentially [2]. [1] Search Strategy Section - https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/resolver.5.html [2] DESCRIPTION/nameserver Section - https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/resolver.5.html Modifications: - UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider should always use the first file provided to derive the default domain server address stream. Currently if there are multiple domain names in the file identified by the first argument of the constructor then one will be selected at random. - UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider should return name servers sequentially. - Reduce access level on some methods which don't have known use-cases externally. Result: Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6736

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.
