Motiviation: Simplify implementation of compareTo/equals/hashCode for ChannelIds. Modifications: We simplfy the hashCode implementation for DefaultChannelId by not making it random, but making it based on the underlying data. We fix the compareTo implementation for DefaultChannelId by using lexicographic comparison of the underlying data array. We fix the compareTo implementation for CustomChannelId to avoid the possibility of overflow. Result: Cleaner code that is easier to maintain.

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.
