Motivation: AbstractByteBufTest.testInternalBuffer() uses writeByte() operations to populate the sample data. Usually, this isn't a problem, but it starts to take a lot of time when the resource leak detection level gets higher. In our CI machine, testInternalBuffer() takes more than 30 minutes, causing the build timeout when the 'leak' profile is active (paranoid level resource detection.) Modification: Populate the sample data using ThreadLocalRandom.nextBytes() instead of using millions of writeByte() operations. Result: Test runs much faster when leak detection level is high.

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
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.
