Motivation: 73dfd7c01b49aca006a34cc48197dee3fc360af1 introduced various test failures because: - EpollSocketChannel.doWrite() raised a NullPointerException when notifying the write progress. - ChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() did not expand the internal array when the pending entries contained more than 1024 buffers, dropping the remainder. Modifications: - Fix the NPE in EpollSocketChannel by removing an unnecessary progress update - Expand the thread-local buffer array if there is not enough room, which was the original behavior dropped by the offending commit Result: Regression is gone.

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 major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
