Motivation: The EPOLL transport uses EPOLLRDHUP to detect when the peer closes the write side of the socket. Currently KQueue is not able to mimic this behavior and the only way to detect if the peer has closed is to read. It may not always be appropriate to read for backpressure and other reasons at the application level. Modifications: - Support EVFILT_SOCK filter which provides notification when the peer closes the socket Result: KQueue transport has more consistent behavior with Epoll transport for detecting peer closure.

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.
