Netty 3.2.0.ALPHA2 released

[Adam Fisk]

Congrats on this, Trustin, and thanks for the LittleProxy and
LittleShoot mentions on the projects page - much appreciated!

I'm seeing some odd behavior with the HTTP 1.0 chunk changes, but I'll
comment on the dev list.

>> Removal of previously deprecated API
>> ====================================

>>
>> Changes in the Buffer API
>> =========================
>> [NETTY-253] The access methods for double and float have been added.

>> [NETTY-254] From this release, dynamic buffer's initial capacity is not

>> [NETTY-258] ChannelBuffer.ensureWritableBytes(int) method has been

>> Changes in the Core API

>>
>> Changes in the HTTP codec
>> =========================
>> [NETTY-251] The HTTP codec now understands trailing headers.

>> New handler implementations
>> ===========================
>> 2 special purpose handlers were added to org.jboss.netty.handler.queue:
