Motivation: We need to ensure we pass all tests when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present. Modifications: - Make *ByteBufAllocatorTest work whenever sun.misc.Unsafe is present or not - Let Lz4FrameEncoderTest not depend on AbstractByteBufAllocator implementation details which take into account if sun.misc.Unsafe is present or not Result: Tests pass even without sun.misc.Unsafe.

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.
