Motivation: Previously flow-controller had to know the implementation details of each frame type in order to write it correctly. That concern is more correctly handled by the encoder. By encapsulating the payload types to be flow-controlled it will be easier to add support for extension types later. This change also fixes #3353. Modifications: Add interface FlowControlled which is now delivered to flow-controller. Implement this interface for HEADERS and DATA Refactor and improve tests for flow-control. Result: Flow control semantics are more cleanly separated for data encoding and implementation is simpler overall.

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.
