Motiviation: The current read loops don't fascilitate reading a maximum amount of bytes. This capability is useful to have more fine grain control over how much data is injested. Modifications: - Add a setMaxBytesPerRead(int) and getMaxBytesPerRead() to ChannelConfig - Add a setMaxBytesPerIndividualRead(int) and getMaxBytesPerIndividualRead to ChannelConfig - Add methods to RecvByteBufAllocator so that a pluggable scheme can be used to control the behavior of the read loop. - Modify read loop for all transport types to respect the new RecvByteBufAllocator API Result: The ability to control how many bytes are read for each read operation/loop, and a more extensible read loop.

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.
