Motivation: HttpObjectDecoder extended ReplayDecoder which is slightly slower then ByteToMessageDecoder. Modifications: - Changed super class of HttpObjectDecoder from ReplayDecoder to ByteToMessageDecoder. - Rewrote decode() method of HttpObjectDecoder to use proper state machine. - Changed private methods HeaderParser.parse(ByteBuf), readHeaders(ByteBuf) and readTrailingHeaders(ByteBuf), skipControlCharacters(ByteBuf) to consider available bytes. - Set HeaderParser and LineParser as static inner classes. - Replaced not safe actualReadableBytes() with buffer.readableBytes(). Result: Improved performance of HttpObjectDecoder by approximately 177%.

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.
