Motivation: UnreleasableByteBuf operations are designed to not modify the reference count of the underlying buffer. The Retained[Duplicate|Slice] operations violate this assumption and can cause the underlying buffer's reference count to be increased, but never allow for it to be decreased. This may lead to memory leaks. Modifications: - UnreleasableByteBuf's Retained[Duplicate|Slice] should leave the reference count of the parent buffer unchanged after the operation completes. Result: No more memory leaks due to usage of the Retained[Duplicate|Slice] on an UnreleasableByteBuf object.

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.
