Motivation: Today when Netty encounters a general error while decoding it treats this as a decoder exception. However, for fatal causes this should not be treated as such, instead the fatal error should be carried up the stack without the callee having to unwind causes. Modifications: Instead of translating any error to a decoder exception, we let those unwind out the stack (note that finally blocks still execute). Result: Fatal errors will not be treated as innocent decoder exceptions.

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.
