Related: #3189 Motivation: OIO transport implementations block for at most 1 second to wait for additional messages (or accepted connections). However, because AbstractOioMessageChannel defers the channelRead() events for the messages read so far until there's nothing to read up to maxMessagesPerRead, any read operation will be followed by a 1-second delay. Modifications: Fire channelRead() events as soon as doRead() returns so that there is no 1 second delay between the actual read and the channelRead() event. Result: No more weird 1-second delay

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.
