Motivation: At the moment there is not way for the user to know if resolving a domain was failed because the domain was unkown or because of an IO error / timeout. If it was caused by an timeout / IO error the user may want to retry the query. Also if the query was failed because of an IO error / timeout we should not cache it. Modifications: - Add DnsNameResolverTimeoutException and include it in the UnkownHostException if the domain could not be resolved because of an timeout. This will allow the user to retry the query when inspecting the cause. - Do not cache IO errors / timeouts - Add unit test Result: Easier for users to implement retries for DNS querys and not cache IO errors / timeouts.

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.
