Here are some key features of "Netty":
Design:
· Unified API for various transport types - blocking and non-blocking socket

Performance:
· Better throughput, lower latency
· Less resource consumption
· Minimized unnecessary memory copy
Robustness:
· No more OutOfMemoryError due to fast, slow or overloaded connection.
· No more unfair read / write ratio often found in a NIO application under high speed network

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· This version introduces a couple exciting features. The most important one is the new SPDY package, which was contributed by Twitter.
· If you develop for Android, you will be happy to hear that this release fix the incompability with Android (which was a regression introduced in 3.3.0).
· Beside this we introduced the possibility to @override the creation of the cumulative buffer in the FrameDecoder class. This allows you to adjust the way the buffer is created and so allows sub-classes to use way that fit them best.
