Motivation: At the moment we use 1 * cores as default mimimum for pool arenas. This can easily lead to conditions as we use 2 * cores as default for EventLoop's when using NIO or EPOLL. If we choose a smaller number we will run into hotspots as allocation and deallocation needs to be synchronized on the PoolArena. Modifications: Change the default number of arenas to 2 * cores. Result: Less conditions when using the default settings.

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.
