Motivation:
00fc239995 introduced a change to HashedWheelTimerTest which attempted to wait for an explicit event notification until more timer events can be added. However HashedWheelTimer will execute the timer Runnable before removing it from the queue and decrementing the total count. This make it difficult for users to know when it is safe to add another timer task as the limit is approached.
Modifications:
- HashedWheelTimer should remove the timer Runnable before executing the task.
Result:
Users can more reliably add new timers when the limit is reached and HashedWheelTimerTest will no longer fail spuriously due to this race condition.
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.
