Special Notes

With this release two new EpollChannelOptions are introduced that can be used if you use the native epoll transport that is shipped as part of Netty.

EpollChannelOption.TCP_USER_TIMEOUT => allows to set the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT on a socket. See man 7 tcp for more details on what exactly this setting is useful for.

EpollChannelOption.IP_FREEBIND => allows to bind to addresses without the address up yet or even the interface configured yet.
