Modifications: -Revert back to dispatching FullHttpMessage objects instead of individual HttpObjects -Corrections to HttpObject comparitors to support test cases -New test cases to support sending headers immediatley -Bug fixes cleaned up to ensure the message flow is terminated properly Result: Netty HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.x translation layer will support the HTTP/2 draft message flow.

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.
