June 2026 monthly summary for netty/netty: Delivered a critical bug fix in IdleStateHandler to reset firstWriterIdleEvent/firstReaderIdleEvent when programmatic resets occur (resetWriteTimeout/resetReadTimeout), preventing false idle reports after non-first events. Added IdleStateHandlerResetFlagTest to validate post-reset behavior for both write and read paths. This aligns reset semantics with the write path, improving idle detection accuracy and reliability for long-lived connections. Commit 512ba9d4838ad1b39c8517ff6f8f5f96e2bb9130 documents the changes and rationale; potential backport consideration for 4.1. Overall impact: more predictable idle behavior, reduced false positives, and higher confidence in timeout handling for users.
