Related: #4065 Motivation: DnsNameResolver was using a special Iterable/Iterator implementation that yields an infinite stream of DNS server addresses. However, this seems to cause confusion. Modifications: - Make DnsServerAddresses an abstract class with an abstract stream() method that returns DnsServerAddressStream - Add DnsServerAddressStream that yields DNS server address infinitely - Remove DnsServerResolver(Group) constructors that accept only a single server address, which wasn't very useful in practice - Extract the DnsServerAddresses implementations to top level - DnsServerAddresses.defaultAddresses() now returns DnsServerAddresses. - Add DnsServerAddresses.defaultAddressList() instead Result: Less confusion and more explicitness

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.
