Quoting interesting pieces from Trustins announcement:

What's new since 3.2.2.Final...

This release is a stability release which fixes 4 known bugs. Thank you everyone who waited for the fix so patiently! Here's the list of the fixed bugs:

• OutOfMemoryError in the HexDumpProxy example (Thanks to Erick Lichtas)
• WebSocket encoder didn't encode a WebSocket frame correctly (Thanks to Al Ag)
• There's no way to handle HTTP 'Expect: 100-continue' header properly (Thanks to Shay Banon)
• Channel.setReadable(boolean) sometimes leads to stall writes. (Thanks to Catherine Grogan and Lee Johnston)

About Upcoming Releases...

I am thinking of beginning Netty 4.0 which addresses the fundamental issues such as:

• upstream/downstream naming confusion
• OutOfMemoryError caused by too fast writes
• incomplete HTTP tunneling transport
• incomplete custom thread naming (DONE)

along with the following new features:

• HTTP file uploads
• IP-level firewall
• traffic counter / shaper
• JMX integration
• HTTP and SOCKS proxy support on the client side
