Bootstrap methods now return Future<Channel> instead of ChannelFuture Motivation: In #8516 it was proposed to at some point remove the specialised ChannelFuture and ChannelPromise. Or at least make them not extend Future and Promise, respectively. One pain point encountered in this discussion is the need to get access to the channel object after it has been initialised, but without waiting for the channel registration to propagate through the pipeline. Modification: Add a Bootstrap.createUnregistered method, which will return a Channel directly. All other Bootstrap methods that previously returned ChannelFuture now return Future<Channel> Result: It's now possible to obtain an initialised but unregistered channel from a bootstrap, without blocking. And the other bootstrap methods now only release their channels through the result of their futures, preventing racy access to the channels. |

Netty Project
Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

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 OpenJDK 8
- 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+ / 4.1+) 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 4.1 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.1' respectively.
Usage with JDK 9+
Netty can be used in modular JDK9+ applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:
io.netty.all
io.netty.buffer
io.netty.codec
io.netty.codec.dns
io.netty.codec.haproxy
io.netty.codec.http
io.netty.codec.http2
io.netty.codec.memcache
io.netty.codec.mqtt
io.netty.codec.redis
io.netty.codec.smtp
io.netty.codec.socks
io.netty.codec.stomp
io.netty.codec.xml
io.netty.common
io.netty.handler
io.netty.handler.proxy
io.netty.resolver
io.netty.resolver.dns
io.netty.transport
io.netty.transport.epoll

(native

io.netty.transport.sctp
io.netty.transport.udt
Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately
in your module-info
file.
