Motivation:
21720e4a78 introduced a change which aimed to enable the not_x86_64 profile when building on a x86_64 platform. Unfortunaly it made an assemption which not holds true and so the profile was already enabled. This lead to the situation that native SSL tests were skipped if non boringssl impl was used.
Modifications:
Fix profile activation to work as expected
Result:
Correctly run aal native SSL tests
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.
Usage with JDK 9
Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the
reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They
are listed below:
io.netty.all
io.netty.buffer
io.netty.codec
io.netty.codec.dns
io.netty.codec.haproxy
io.netty.codec.http
io.netty.codec.http2
io.netty.codec.memcache
io.netty.codec.mqtt
io.netty.codec.redis
io.netty.codec.smtp
io.netty.codec.socks
io.netty.codec.stomp
io.netty.codec.xml
io.netty.common
io.netty.handler
io.netty.handler.proxy
io.netty.resolver
io.netty.resolver.dns
io.netty.transport
io.netty.transport.epoll (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
io.netty.transport.kqueue (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
io.netty.transport.unix.common (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
io.netty.transport.rxtx
io.netty.transport.sctp
io.netty.transport.udt
Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately
in your module-info file.
