Motivation: If the executor changes while listeners are added and notification of listeners is being done then listeners can be notified out of order and concurrently. We should ensure that only one executor is used at any given time to notify listeners and ensure the listeners are notified in FIFO order. Modifications: - Move the notifyingListeners member variable from DefaultPromise into the synchronized block to prevent concurrent notification of listeners and preserve FIFO notification order Result: If the executor is changed for a DefaultPromise the listener notification order should be FIFO.

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.
