Motivation: On a successful protocol upgrade in HTTP, HttpClientUpgradeHandler calls HttpClientCodec.upgradeFrom(), which removed both the HTTP encoder and decoder from the pipeline immediately. However, because the decoder is in the middle of the decode loop, removing it from the pipeline immediately will cause the cumulation buffer to be released prematurely. This often leads to an IllegalReferenceCountException or missing first response after the upgrade response. Modifications: - Remove the decoder *after* the decode loop is done Result: Fixes #4504

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.
