Motivation: Zero-length names needs to be "prefixed" by the length as well when encoded into a ByteBuf. Also some servers not correctly prefix these so we should ensure we can workaround this and even decode in such case. Modifications: - Always encode the length of the name into the ByteBuf even if its zero-length. - If there are no readable bytes for the name just asume its an empty name to workaround dns servers that not fully respect the RFC. Result: Correctly encode zero-length names and be able to decode empty names even when the rfc is not strictly followed.

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.
