Motivation: We tried to always use SecureRandom to generate the initialSeed for our ThreadLocalRandom, this can sometimes give warnings under normal usage. We should better not use SecureRandom as default (just as the implementation in jsr166y does) and only try if the user specified -Djava.util.secureRandomSeed=true . Modifications: Only try to use SecureRandom when -Djava.util.secureRandomSeed=true is used. Result: Less likely to see entropy warnings.

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.
