Motivation: Allow to make use of our new FastThreadLocal whereever possible Modification: Make use of an array to store FastThreadLocals and so allow to also use it in PooledByteBufAllocator that is instanced by users. The maximal size of the array is configurable per system property to allow to tune it if needed. As default we use 64 entries which should be good enough. Result: More flexible usage of FastThreadLocal

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
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.
