Motivation: The HTTP/2 specification places restrictions on the cipher suites that can be used. There is no central place to pull the ciphers that are allowed by the specification, supported by different java versions, and recommended by the community. Modifications: -HTTP/2 will have a security utility class to define supported ciphers -netty-handler will be modified to support filtering the supplied list of ciphers to the supported ciphers for the current SSLEngine Result: -Netty provides unified support for HTTP/2 cipher lists and ciphers can be pruned by currently supported ciphers

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.
