Motivation: If a handler is added to the pipeline within ChannelInitializer::initChannel via addFirst(...) then it will not receive the channelRegistered event. The same handler added via addLast(...) will receive the event. This different behavior is unlikely to be expected by users and can cause confusion. Modifications: Let ChannelInitializer::channelRegistered propagate the event by passing it to the pipeline instead of firing it on the ChannelHandlerContext. Result: The channelRegistered event is propagated to handlers regardless of the method used to add it to the pipeline (addFirst/addLast).

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.
