New Features
Unix Domain Sockets
This release adds support for Unix Domain Sockets when using the NIO transport, while before this was only supported when using one of our native transports. That said you will need to use a Java version >= 16 for it.
AdaptivePoolingAllocator (experimental)
This release contains a backport (#13976) of our AdaptivePoolingAllocator that was first introduced in our main branch. This allocator should reduce the memory overhead that you typically might encounter when using the PooledByteBufAllocator while also gives the same (or better) performance characterristics. Trying out the new allocator is as easy as either specify -Dio.netty.allocator.type=adaptive or set it directly via the ChannelOption.ALLOCATOR.
We would love to receive feedback from everyone that tried the new allocator.
