Motivation: Leak detector, when it detects a leak, will print the last 5 stack traces that touched the ByteBuf. In some cases that might not be enough to identify the root cause of the leak. Also, sometimes users might not be interested in tracing all the operations on the buffer, but just the ones that are affecting the reference count. Modifications: Added command line properties to override default values: * Allow to configure max number of stack traces to collect * Allow to only record retain/release operation on buffers Result: Users can increase the number of stack traces to debug buffer leaks with lot of retain/release operations.

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
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
