Motivation: At the moment MessageToMessageEncoder uses ctx.write(msg) when have more then one message was produced. This may produce more GC pressure then necessary as when the original ChannelPromise is a VoidChannelPromise we can safely also use one when write messages. Modifications: Use VoidChannelPromise when the original ChannelPromise was of this type Result: Less object creation and GC pressure

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.
