Motivation: There is an incoherence in terms of API when one wants to use startTls: without startTls one can use the SslContextBuilder's method newHandler, but with startTls, the developper is forced to call directly the SslHandler constructor. Modifications: Introduce startTls as a SslContextBuilder parameter as well as a member in SslContext (and thus Jdk and OpenSsl implementations!). Always use this information to call the SslHandler constructor. Use false by default, in particular in deprecated constructors of the SSL implementations. The client Context use false by default Results: Fixes #5170 and more generally homogenise the API so that everything can be done via SslContextBuilder.

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.
