Status of Netty 5.0.0

[Sverre Moe]

What is the status of Netty 5.0.0?

It has been a year since 5.0.0-Alpha2 was released. While 4.1.0.CR6 was release this month.

[Sverre Moe]

He probably forgot to reply-to-all.

From Trustin Lee:

We decided to drop Netty 5 in favor of 4.1. Please use 4.1 instead.

[Sverre Moe]

I have moved over to 4.1.0.CR6 and see that not everything from 5.0.0 was kept:

The following method was discarded:

io.netty.channel.SimpleChannelInboundHandler#messageReceived(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext, java.lang.Object)

For the following method used in 4.1

io.netty.channel.SimpleChannelInboundHandler#channelRead0(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext, java.lang.Object)

[Norman Maurer]

This is expected as we can not rename the method in a dot release as this would be an API breakage

If 5.0.0 has been abandoned then perhaps its documentation should be removed or updated

If I have understood correctly, as per this stack overflow thread the 4.0 behaviour of HttpRequestDecoder or HttpResponseDecoder was supposed to be changed in 5.x :

[Trustin] However, I do agree this is not intuitive. We are going to fix this in Netty 5 in such a way that the decoder produces only a single HTTP message object and streaming its content to it later.

However, as per 4.1 documentation, the behaviour has not been changed between 4.x to 5.x. Is my understanding correct (Minor revision and hence no API changes?)?

Thanks,

Arnab
