Motivation: The HTTP/2 codec has some duplication and the read/write interfaces are not cleanly exposed to users of the codec. Modifications: -Restructure the AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandler class to be able to extend write behavior before the outbound flow control gets the data -Add Http2InboundConnectionHandler and Http2OutboundConnectionHandler interfaces and restructure external codec interface around these concepts Result: HTTP/2 codec provides a cleaner external interface which is easy to extend for read/write events.

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.
