Motivation: If you start to have 1M+ concurrent connections memory footprint can be come a big issue. We should try to reduce it as much as possible in the core of netty. Modifications: - Remove HashMap that was used to store name to ctx mapping. This was only used for validation and access a handler by name. As a pipeline is not expected to be very long (like 100+ handlers) we can just walk the linked list structure to find the ctx with a given name. Result: Less memory footprint of the DefaultChannelPipeline. |

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.
