Related: #3219 Motivation: ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() does not call ctx.flush() when channel is not writable. This can be a problem when other handler / non-Netty thread writes messages simultaneously, because ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() might have no chance to observe channel.isWritable() returns true and thus the channel is never flushed. Modifications: - Ensure that ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() calls ctx.flush() at least once. Result: A stall connection issue, that occurs when certain combination of handlers exist in a pipeline, has been fixed. (e.g. SslHandler and ChunkedWriteHandler)

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 major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
