Motivation:
8cf90f0512 switch a duplicate opreration to a slice operation. Typically this would be fine but DNS supports a compression (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035 4.1.4. Message compression) where the payload contains absolute indexes which refer back to previously referenced content. Using a slice will break the ability for the indexes in the payload to correctly self reference to the index of the originial payload, and thus decoding may fail.
Modifications:
- Use duplicate instead of slice so DNS message compression and index references are preserved.
Result:
Fixes DefaultDnsRecordDecoder regression
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.
