Motivation: The problem with the current snappy implementation is that it does not comply with framing format definition found on https://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/framing_format.txt The document describes that chunk type of the stream identifier is defined as 0xff. The current implentation uses 0x80. Modifications: This patch replaces the first byte of the chunk type of the stream identifier with 0xff. Result: After this modification the snappy implementation is compliant to the framing format described at https://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/framing_format.txt. This results in a better compatibility with other implementations.

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
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.
