Motivation: When a remote peer did open a connection and only do the handshake without sending any data and then directly close the connection we did not call shutdown() in the OpenSslEngine. This leads to a native memory leak. Beside this it also was not fireed when a OpenSslEngine was created but never used. Modifications: - Make sure shutdown() is called in all cases when closeInbound() is called - Call shutdown() also in the finalize() method to ensure we release native memory when the OpenSslEngine is GC'ed Result: No more memory leak when using OpenSslEngine

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.
