I am happy to announce the release of netty 4.1.51.Final which took a bit longer then expected. That said it's out now and we hope you will enjoy it :) This is mainly a bug-fix release but also contain a few other goodies. Also this release firstly supports AARCH64 for the native epoll transport!

The most important changes in this release are:

  • Modify OpenSSL native library loading to accommodate GraalVM (#10395)
  • Correctly include TLS1.3 ciphers in the enabled ciphersuites when using BoringSSL (#10388)
  • X509TrustManager with OPENSSL provider is not wrapped with hostname verification if Conscrypt is inserted in the first place (#10375)
  • Ensure we preserve the original cause of the SSLException in all cases when the native SSLEngine is used (#10372)
  • Fix memory leak in AbstractDiskHttpData when CompositeByteBuf is used (#10360)
  • Fix possible StackOverflowError when try to resolve authoritative nameservers (#10337)
  • SslHandler#wrap to preserve exception if SSLEngine is closed (#10327)
  • More values other than chunked defined in Transfer-Encoding header leads to decode failure (#10321)
  • We should fail fast when a CNAME loop is detected (#10305)
  • Dequeue all cached messages and destroy the queue instance after removing the FlowControlHandler from channel pipeline (#10304)
  • Check if SSL pointer was freed before using it in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine in all cases (#10299)
  • Guard against re-entrancy issues while draining AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue (#10294)
  • Fix regression in HttpPostStandardRequestDecoder to always decode + to whitespace (#10285)
