Motivation: NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address and NetUtil#getIPv6ByName allowed an invalid form of mapped IPv4 addresses which lead to accepting invalid IPv6 addresses as valid. Modifications: - NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address and NetUtil#getIPv6ByName should only allow 7 colons for an IPv4 address if they are the first 2 characters. Result: More correct implementation of NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address and NetUtil#getIPv6ByName

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.
