Motivation: To support HTTP2 we need APLN support. This was not provided before when using OpenSslEngine, so SSLEngine (JDK one) was the only bet. Beside this CipherSuiteFilter was not supported Modifications: - Upgrade netty-tcnative and make use of new features to support ALPN and NPN in server and client mode. - Guard against segfaults after the ssl pointer is freed - support correctly different failure behaviours - add support for CipherSuiteFilter Result: Be able to use OpenSslEngine for ALPN / NPN for server and client.

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.
