Motivation: Calling System.nanoTime() for each channelRead(...) is very expensive. See [#3808] for more detailed description. Also we always do extra work for each write and read even if read or write idle states should not be handled. Modifications: - Move System.nanoTime() call to channelReadComplete(...). - Reuse ChannelFutureListener for writes - Only add ChannelFutureListener to writes if write and all idle states should be handled. - Only call System.nanoTime() for reads if idle state events for read and all states should be handled. Result: Less overhead when using the IdleStateHandler.

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.
