Motivation: 4bba7526e2f58018817972f38279cc232f519100 introduced changes which made pooled and unpooled derived buffers inconsistent in a few ways: - Pooled derived buffers always generated a duplicate buffer when duplicate() was called and always generated a sliced buffer when slice() was called. Unpooled derived buffers some times generated a sliced buffer when duplicate() was called. - The indexes that were set for duplicate buffers generated from slices were not always consistent. There were also some various bugs in the derived pooled buffer implementation. Modifications: - Make pooled/unpooled consistently generate duplicate buffers when duplicate() is called and sliced buffers when slice() is called. - Fix bugs in the derived pooled buffer Result: More consistent behavior from the derived pooled/unpooled buffers.

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.
