Motivation: Some unit tests in SingleThreadEventLoopTest rely upon Thread.sleep for sequencing events between threads. This can be unreliable and result in spurious test failures if thread scheduling does not occur in a fair predictable manner. Modifications: - Reduce the reliance on Thread.sleep in SingleThreadEventLoopTest Result: Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5851

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.
