Motivation: It's useful to be able to be notified once all Channels that are part of the ChannelGroup are notified. This can for example be useful if you want to do a graceful shutdown. Modifications: - Add ChannelGroup.newCloseFuture(...) which will be notified once all Channels are notified that are part of the ChannelGroup at the time of calling. Result: Easier to be notified once all Channels within a ChannelGroup are closed.

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 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.
