Motivation: The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems. Modifications: Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport. Result: Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.

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.
