Related: #3190 Motivation: When an outbound handler method raises an exception, its promise is marked as failed. If the promise is done already, the exception is logged. When the promise is void, exceptionCaught() must be triggered to notify a user. However, ChannelHandlerInvokerUtil simply swallows it. Modifications: Do not swallow an exception when the promise is void. Result: A user who uses a void promise for an outbound operation will be notified on failure.

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.
