Motivation: Our HTTP/2 implementation sometimes uses hard-coded handler names when adding/removing a handler to/from a pipeline. It's not really a good idea because it can easily result in name clashes. Unless there is a good reason, we need to use the reference to the handlers Modifications: - Allow null as a handler name for Http2Client/ServerUpgradeCodec - Use null as the default upgrade handler name - Do not use handler name strings in some test cases and examples Result: Fixes #3815

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.
