Motivation: InetAddress.getByName(...) uses exceptions for control flow when try to parse IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses. This is quite expensive. Modifications: Detect IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses in the JNI level and convert to IPv4 addresses before pass to InetAddress.getByName(...) (via InetSocketAddress constructor). Result: Eliminate performance problem causes by exception creation when parsing IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses.

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 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.
