Motiviation: We should ensure that handlerAdded(...) and handlerRemoved(...) is always called from the EventExecutor that also invokes the other methods of the ChannelHandler. Also we need to ensure we always call handlerAdded(...) before any other method can be calld to ensure correct ordering. Motifications: - Ensure that the right thread is used to call the methods - Ensure correct ordering - Add tests Result: Respect the thread-model for handlerAdded(...) and handlerRemoved(...) and preserve correct ordering in all cases.

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.
