f31c630c8cc15c4de1cc7e45b6c5c8053d5bcb75 was causing SocketGatheringWriteTest to fail because it does not take the case where an empty buffer exists in a gathering write. When there is an empty buffer in a gathering write, the number of buffers returned by ChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffer() and the actual number of write attemps can differ. To remove the write requests correctly, a byte transport must use ChannelOutboundBuffer.removeBytes()

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.
