Motivation: When calling slice(...) on a ByteBuf the returned ByteBuf should be the slice of a ByteBuf and shares it's reference count. This is important as it is perfect legal to use buf.slice(...).release() and have both, the slice and the original ByteBuf released. At the moment this is only the case if the requested slice size is > 0. This makes the behavior inconsistent and so may lead to a memory leak. Modifications: - Never return Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER when calling slice(...). - Adding test case for buffer.slice(...).release() and buffer.duplicate(...).release() Result: Consistent behaviour and so no more leaks possible. |

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.
