Motivation: Currently the "derived" buffer will only ever be recycled if the release call is made on the "derived" object, and the "wrapped" buffer ends up being "fully released" (aka refcount goes to 0). From my experience this is not the common use case and thus the "derived" buffers will not be recycled. Modifications: - revert https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/3788 Result: Less complexity, and less code to create new objects in majority of cases.

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.
