,there is a lot of compile error on much java source file, i think its to hard to update netty version, does someone try do it?


Solution

  • The code needs to be updated to migrate to netty 4.1. As this is major version bump it is not backward compatible. Check https://netty.io/wiki/new-and-noteworthy-in-4.0.html for more details
