- Other non-security bug fixes included in this version update from 4.1.75 to 4.1.90:
* Build with Java 11 on ix86 architecture in order to avoid build failures
* Fix `HttpHeaders.names` for non-String headers
* Fix `FlowControlHandler` behaviour to pass read events when auto-reading is turned off
* Fix brotli compression
* Fix a bug in FlowControlHandler that broke auto-read
* Fix a potential memory leak bug has been in the pooled allocator
* Fix a scalability issue caused by instanceof and check-cast checks that lead to false-sharing on the `Klass::secondary_super_cache` field in the JVM
* Fix a bug in our `PEMParser` when PEM files have multiple objects, and `BouncyCastle` is on the classpath
* Fix several `NullPointerException` bugs
* Fix a regression `SslContext` private key loading
* Fix a bug in `SslContext` private key reading fall-back path
* Fix a buffer leak regression in `HttpClientCodec`
* Fix a bug where some `HttpMessage` implementations, that also implement `HttpContent`, were not handled correctly
* Fix epoll bug when receiving zero-sized datagrams
* Fix a bug in `SslHandler` so `handlerRemoved` works properly even if `handlerAdded` throws an exception
* Fix an issue that allowed the multicast methods on `EpollDatagramChannel` to be called outside of an event-loop thread
* Fix a bug where an OPT record was added to DNS queries that already had such a record
* Fix a bug that caused an error when files uploaded with HTTP POST contained a backslash in their name
* Fix an issue in the `BlockHound` integration that could occasionally cause NetUtil to be reported as performing blocking operation. A similar `BlockHound` issue was fixed for the `JdkSslContext`
* Fix a bug that prevented preface or settings frames from being flushed, when an HTTP2 connection was established with prior-knowledge
* Fix a bug where Netty fails to load a shaded native library
* Fix and relax overly strict HTTP/2 header validation check that was rejecting requests from Chrome and Firefox
* Fix OpenSSL and BoringSSL implementations to respect the `jdk.tls.client.protocols` and `jdk.tls.server.protocols` system properties, making them react to these in the same way the JDK SSL provider does
* Fix inconsitencies in how `epoll`, `kqueue`, and `NIO` handle RDHUP
