Motivation: ff0045e3e10684425a26f5b6cb02223fb0444141 changed HpackHuffmanDecoder to use a lookup-table which greatly improved performance. We can squeeze out another 3% win by using an ByteProcessor which will reduce the number of bound-checks / reference-count-checks needed by processing byte-by-byte. Modifications: Implement logic with ByteProcessor Result: Another ~3% perf improvement which shows up when using h2load to simulate load. `h2load -c 100 -m 100 --duration 60 --warm-up-time 10 http://127.0.0.1:8080` Before: ``` finished in 70.02s, 620051.67 req/s, 20.70MB/s requests: 37203100 total, 37203100 started, 37203100 done, 37203100 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 errored, 0 timeout status codes: 37203100 2xx, 0 3xx, 0 4xx, 0 5xx traffic: 1.21GB (1302108500) total, 41.84MB (43872600) headers (space savings 90.00%), 460.24MB (482598600) data min max mean sd +/- sd time for request: 404us 24.52ms 15.93ms 1.45ms 87.90% time for connect: 0us 0us 0us 0us 0.00% time to 1st byte: 0us 0us 0us 0us 0.00% req/s : 6186.64 6211.60 6199.00 5.18 65.00% ``` With this change: ``` finished in 70.02s, 642103.33 req/s, 21.43MB/s requests: 38526200 total, 38526200 started, 38526200 done, 38526200 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 errored, 0 timeout status codes: 38526200 2xx, 0 3xx, 0 4xx, 0 5xx traffic: 1.26GB (1348417000) total, 42.39MB (44444900) headers (space savings 90.00%), 466.25MB (488893900) data min max mean sd +/- sd time for request: 370us 24.89ms 15.52ms 1.35ms 88.02% time for connect: 0us 0us 0us 0us 0.00% time to 1st byte: 0us 0us 0us 0us 0.00% req/s : 6407.06 6435.19 6419.74 5.62 67.00% ```

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.
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

(native
omitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.rxtx
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.
