Netty 4.1.0.CR6 released

by trustin

We decided to release another release candidate before going final due to an interoperability issue with our DNS codec. It's only a few days since we released Netty 4.1.0.CR5, so this release contains relatively small number of changes.

The notable changes in this release are:

  • Customizable NIO and epoll select strategy (#4955 and #5044)
  • Deprecate WRITE_BUFFER_LOW/HIGH_WATER_MARK in favor of WRITE_BUFFER_WATER_MARK (#5060 and #4858)
  • Change the visibility of DefaultChannelId to public (#5057)
  • Fix propagation of channelRegistered() event in ChannelInitializer (#4995)
  • Fix incorrect name encoding/decoding in DNS records (#5064)
  • Fix missing @Sharable annotation in MqttEncoder (#5063)
  • Fix the bug where epoll ET with autoRead set to false will leave data on the RECV queue (#5061)

For the details and all changes, please browse our issue tracker.

As always, please let us know if you find any issues. We love feedback!

A note about API backward compatibility

As our HTTP/2 and DNS codecs are still quite new. We "mark" them as experimental which means we may break the API backward compatibility of them in later releases.

Thank You

Every idea and bug-report counts and so we thought it is worth mentioning those who helped in this area. Please report an unintended omission.
