Motiviation: 691bc1690e9542d6093b91ffe1fbdf7d075bcd42 made writeUtf8 consistent with String.getBytes() so that it never throws. 94f27be59b637c74763cc3b9fd27cf628b59f7bd provided a writeUtf8 method which takes a ByteBufAllocator to do an appropriately sized buffer allocation. Result: - Assume writeUtf8 will not throw in HTTP/2 codec - Use the new writeUtf8 method Result: Cleaner code in codec-http2.

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
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.
