Motivation: At the moment the outbound operations of ChannelHandler take a Promise as argument. This Promise needs to be carried forward to the next handler in the pipeline until it hits the transport. This is API choice has a few quirks which we should aim to remove: - There is a difference between if you add a FutureListener to the Promise or the Future that is returned by the outbound method in terms of the ordering of execution of the listeners. Sometimes we add the listener to the promise while in reality we usually always want to add it to the future to ensure the listerns are executed in the "correct order". - It is quite easy to "loose" a promise by forgetting to use the right method which also takes a promise - We have no idea what EventExecutor is used for the passed in Promise which may invalid our assumption of threading. While changing the method signature of the outbound operations of the ChannelHandler is a good step forward we should also take care of just remove all the methods from ChannelOutboundInvoker (and its sub-types) that take a Promise and just always use the methods that return a Future only. Modifications: - Change the signature of the methods that took a Promise to not take one anymore and just return a Future - Remove all operations for ChannelOutboundInvoker that take a Promise. - Adjust all code to cope with the API changes Result: Cleaner API which is easier to reason about and easier to use. |

Netty Project
Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

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 OpenJDK 8
- 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+ / 4.1+) 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 4.1 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.1' 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.allio.netty.bufferio.netty.codecio.netty.codec.dnsio.netty.codec.haproxyio.netty.codec.httpio.netty.codec.http2io.netty.codec.memcacheio.netty.codec.mqttio.netty.codec.redisio.netty.codec.smtpio.netty.codec.socksio.netty.codec.stompio.netty.codec.xmlio.netty.commonio.netty.handlerio.netty.handler.proxyio.netty.resolverio.netty.resolver.dnsio.netty.transportio.netty.transport.epoll(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.kqueue(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.unix.common(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.rxtxio.netty.transport.sctpio.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.
