Motivations: 1. There are duplicated implementations of decoding hex strings. #6797 2. ByteBufUtil.HexUtil.decodeHexDump does not handle substring start index properly and does not decode hex byte rigorously. Modifications: 1. Function decodeHexByte is moved from QueryStringDecoder into ByteBufUtil. 2. ByteBufUtil.HexUtil.decodeHexDump is changed to use decodeHexByte. 3. Tests are Updated accordingly. Result: Fixed #6797 and made hex decoding functions more robust.

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.
