Motivation: Currently, the SPDY frame encoding and decoding code is based upon the ChannelHandler abstraction. This requires maintaining multiple versions for 3.x and 4.x (and possibly 5.x moving forward). Modifications: The SPDY frame encoding and decoding code is separated from the ChannelHandler and SpdyFrame abstractions. Also test coverage is improved. Result: SpdyFrameCodec now implements the ChannelHandler abstraction and is responsible for creating and handling SpdyFrame objects.

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.
