- Merged LifeCycleAwareChannelHandler into ChannelHandler - Replaced ChannelUpstreamHandler and ChannelDownstreamHandler with ChannelReader and ChannelWriter - These two new interfaces are much more type-safe than its ancestor. - Simplified channel state model as described in #68 - Handler creates send/receive buffer. - Previously, Netty created them, but it led to more memory copies and inflexibility. I'm going to allow a handler to create a bounded queue for example. - It currently uses Queue<T> but I'll define a new interface and make ChannelBuffer implement it (e.g. Queue<Byte>) - Introduced AttributeMap which replaces attachments in Channel and ChannelHandlerContext and ChannelLocal
