[Trustin Lee-2]

Hi folks,

Netty 3.0.0.CR4, the fourth release candidate of Netty 3.0.0 has been  
released.  Please visit our web site to download it:

   * http://www.jboss.org/netty/

As always, your feed back is more than appreciated.  Please visit the  
discussion forum and leave some comments:

The User Guide
==============

The biggest and sole addition in this release is the user guide, which is  
distributed in various formats such as HTML and PDF.  Although many  
chapters in the document is not written yet, it should be enough for a  
beginner to write a network application on top of Netty right away.  
Please feel free to comment.  I know it needs a lot more work and there  
are many missing pieces yet.  Please check it out now!

Performance Improvements
========================

Overall startup and shutdown time has been decreased significantly.  If  
you were starting and stopping a server or a client frequently, you will  
experience a lot of speedup.

Also, a slowdown has been fixed, which happens when a user tries to write  
a message when the channel is closed already.  This issue was reported by  
Matt R.  Thanks Matt!


Bug Fixes
=========

A critical bug where the last byte is lost when a connection is closed.  
This issue was reported by Mike Heath.  Thanks Mike!


Upcoming Releases
=================

Unless a major issue is reported within the next iteration, Netty  
3.0.0.CR4 will become a GA release.  Please don't worry too much even if  
the documentation is far from perfection.  The documentation will always  
be up-to-date online even after the GA is released with incomplete  
documentation, and the subsequent releases will contain the latest user  
guide and API reference as usual.


Miscellaneous
