Motivation: Currently we have the algorithm of calculate the new capacity of a ByteBuf implemented in AbstractByteBuf. The problem with this is that it is impossible for a user to change it if it not fits well it's use-case. We should better move it to ByteBufAllocator and so let the user implement it's own by either write his/her own ByteBufAllocator or just override the default implementation in one of our provided ByteBufAllocators. Modifications: Move calculateNewCapacity(...) to ByteBufAllocator and move the implementation (which was part of AbstractByteBuf) to AbstractByteBufAllocator. Result: The user can now override the default calculation algorithm when needed.

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
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
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other 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.
