Hi folks,
Netty 3.1.0.BETA3, the third beta release of 3.1 branch, has been released.
The Netty project is an effort to provide an asynchronous, event-driven
network application framework and tools for rapid development of
maintainable, high-performance, high-scalability protocol servers and
clients.
In other words, Netty is a NIO client server framework that enables
quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol
servers and clients. It simplifies and streamlines network programming
such as TCP and UDP socket servers.

Improved Performance
====================
Thanks to Wade Poziombka's help, the NIO socket transport became even
faster than ever. Thanks Wade!
ConnectionlessBootstrap
=======================
Datagram support has been added in 3.1.0.BETA1, but it didn't have a
proper Bootstrap implementation. This release adds the
ConnectionlessBootstrap which extends Bootstrap to support Old IO based
UDP transport and other planned connectionless transports. The 'Quote
of the Moment' example has been updated following this change.
Little Endian Support
=====================
Although most binary protocol uses big endian, some proprietary
protocols which were developed on x86 or x64 architecture use little
endian. Preliminary support for little endian was added in
3.1.0.ALPHA3, but it didn't work very well for a certain case. This
release fixes that particular case. Now it seems to work flawlessly.
In case you wonder what endianness is, please refer to the Wikipedia:

Building on Windows
===================
maven-jdocbook-plugin was misconfigured to lead 'connection timed out'
during docbook generation, hence the full build fails. I recently had a
chance to run a build on Windows by myself and was able to fix the build
failure.
Upcoming Releases
=================
The next release will be 3.1.0.CR1 (Candidate Release) with complete
Javadoc. Please keep us updated with any bugs, design issues, API
usability feed back, and questions.
