Motivation: There are some use cases when a client may only be willing to read from a channel once its previous write is finished (eg: serial dispatchers in Finagle). In this case, a connection with SslHandler installed and ctx.channel().config().isAutoRead() == false will stall in 100% of cases no matter what order of "channel active", "write", "flush" events was. The use case is following (how Finagle serial dispatchers work): 1. Client writeAndFlushes and waits on a write-promise to perform read() once it's satisfied. 2. A write-promise will only be satisfied once SslHandler finishes with handshaking and sends the unencrypted queued message. 3. The handshaking process itself requires a number of read()s done by a client but the SslHandler doesn't request them explicitly assuming that either auto-read is enabled or client requested at least one read() already. 4. At this point a client will stall with NEED_UNWRAP status returned from underlying engine. Modifiations: Always request a read() on NEED_UNWRAP returned from engine if a) it's handshaking and b) auto read is disabled and c) it wasn't requested already. Result: SslHandler is now completely tolerant of whether or not auto-read is enabled and client is explicitly reading a channel. |

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.
