Related issue: #2741 and #2151 Motivation: There is no way for ChunkedWriteHandler to know the progress of the transfer of a ChannelInput. Therefore, ChannelProgressiveFutureListener cannot get exact information about the progress of the transfer. If you add a few methods that optionally provides the transfer progress to ChannelInput, it becomes possible for ChunkedWriteHandler to notify ChannelProgressiveFutureListeners. If the input has no definite length, we can still use the progress so far, and consider the length of the input as 'undefined'. Modifications: - Add ChunkedInput.progress() and ChunkedInput.length() - Modify ChunkedWriteHandler to use progress() and length() to notify the transfer progress Result: ChunkedWriteHandler now notifies ChannelProgressiveFutureListener.

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.
