Motivation:
When the channel is closed while we still decode the headers we currently not preserve correct message sequence. In this case we should generate an invalid message with a current cause.
Modifications:
Create an invalid message with a PrematureChannelClosureException as cause when the channel is closed while we decode the headers.
Result:
Correct message sequence preserved and correct DecoderResult if the channel is closed while decode headers.
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
Development of all 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.
