Motivation: Commit 4c048d069d99891d6a83859b469c39b4ff0f4ae1 moved the logic of calling handlerAdded(...) to the channelRegistered(...) callback of the head of the DefaultChannelPipeline. Unfortunatlly this may execute the callbacks to late as a user may add handlers to the pipeline in the ChannelFutureListener attached to the registration future. This can lead to incorrect ordering. Modifications: Ensure we always invoke ChannelHandler.handlerAdded(...) for all handlers before the registration promise is notified. Result: Not possible of incorrect ordering or missed events.

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.
