Motivation: In GitHub issue #2767 a bug was reported that the IPv4 default route leads to the ipfilter package denying instead of accepting all addresses. While the issue was reported for Netty 3.9, this bug also applies to Netty 4 and higher. Modifications: When computing the subnet address from the CIDR prefix, correctly handle the case where the prefix is set to zero. Result: Ipfilter accepts all addresses when passed the IPv4 default route.

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.
