Netty 3.2.0.BETA1 released: zero-copy file transfer

[Adam Fisk]

Congrats on this, Trustin, especially the zero-copy transfers! The
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" semantics are working great on
LittleProxy so far, and a new version should be coming out soon with
the beta incorporated.

Thanks for your hard work as always.

-Adam
