Motivation: When an InetNameResolver resolves a name, it is expected to reserve the requested host name in the resolved InetAddress. DefaultHostsFileEntriesResolver does not preserve the host name. For example, resolving 'localhost' will return an InetAddress whose address is '127.0.0.1', but its getHostString() will not return 'localhost' but just '127.0.0.1'. Modifications: Fix the construction of parsed InetAddresses in HostsFileParser Result: Host name is preserved in the resolved InetAddress

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.
