Motivation: For many HTTP/2 applications (such as gRPC) it is necessary to autorefill the connection window in order to prevent application-level deadlocking. Consider an application with 2 streams, A and B. A receives a stream of messages and the application pops off one message at a time and makes a request on stream B. However, if receiving of data on A has caused the connection window to collapse, B will not be able to receive any data and the application will deadlock. The only way (currently) to get around this is 1) use multiple connections, or 2) manually refill the connection window. Both are undesirable and could needlessly complicate the application code. Modifications: Add a configuration option to DefaultHttp2LocalFlowController, allowing it to autorefill the connection window. Result: Applications can configure HTTP/2 to avoid inter-stream deadlocking. |

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 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.
