I'm happy to announce Netty 4.0.25.Final before 2014 ends! It would be awesome if anyone finds this release a great happy new year present.

It took us two months since the previous release in 4.0 branch, and we must admit we have a lot to improve here. We know you are also waiting for 4.1 & 5.0 releases with all the shiny new features. Please stay tuned! I expect myself to deliver them before January ends.

Putting a new year's resolution aside, this release, as well as 20+ bug fixes, contains the following exciting new features and improvements:

SSL SslContext adds ALPN and mutual authentication support. SslHandler.renegotiate() adds proper SSL renegotiation support. SniHandler adds Server Name Indication support. OpenSslEngine is now (almost) feature-complete with client mode support. Works as a drop-in replacement of JDK stock SSLEngineImpl !

SPDY Pushed resource support

HTTP Higher performance

Linux native transport (epoll) Higher performance
