Netty 3.2.0.CR1 released: one step closer to the final release

["Trustin Lee (이희승)"]

Hi folks,

Netty 3.2.0.CR1, the first candidate release in 3.2 branch, has been
released after long awaits.

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 an 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

Please visit our web site to get more information and download it.  Your

New Related Project: Apache JAMES Server
========================================
Apache JAMES Server is a modular e-mail server platform that integrates
SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and NNTP.  JAMES server was using old I/O, switched to
Apache MINA, and then finally settled down to Netty recently:

New Maven repository
====================
JBoss.org adopted Sonatype Nexus recently as an intermediary step to get
