Motivation: Under very unlikely (however possible) circumstances, Recycler may leak references. This happens _only_ when the object was already recycled at least once (which means it's got written to the stack) and then taken out again, and never returned. The "never returned" part may be the fault of the user (forgotten `finally` clause) or the situation when Recycler drops the possibly youngest item itself. Modifications: Nullify the item taken from the stack. Result: Reference is cleaned up. If the object is lost, it will be a subject for GC. The rest of Stack / Recycler functionality remains unaffected.

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.
