Motivation: Some ByteBuf implementations do not override all necessary methods, which can lead to potentially sub-optimal behavior. Also, SlicedByteBuf does not perform the range check correctly due to missing overrides. Modifications: - Add missing overrides - Use unwrap() instead of direct member access in derived buffers for consistency - Merge unwrap0() into unwrap() using covariant return type - Deprecate AbstractDerivedByteBuf and its subtypes, because they were not meant to be public Result: Correctness

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
Development of all 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.
