Chrome will switch to using this format at 129 some point in the future. 130 - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param 131 - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set 132 to 0xFFFFFFFF 133 1342019-09-23 135 - 2.4.2 136 - [BUGFIX] H3 framing: fix zero-byte write when space is available 137 - [BUGFIX] Don't send STREAM frame when incoming unidirectgional stream 138 is closed 139 - [BUGFIX] Cancel all pending writes by stream reset by a GOAWAY 140 - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free in IETF full conn 141 - [OPTIMIZATION] Wait for session tickets for two seconds and then drop 142 SSL object and crypto streams. 143 1442019-09-18 145 - 2.4.0 146 - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 23 support 147 1482019-09-13 149 - 2.3.1 150 - [BUGFIX] Fix memory leaks 151 - [BUGFIX] Fix unit tests 152 1532019-09-12 154 - 2.3.0 155 - [FEATURE] BBR congestion control is on by default 156 - [BUGFIX] BBR app-limited logic 157 - [BUGFIX] Fix uninitialized warnings in IETF 158 - [BUGFIX] Update ls-qpack to v0.9.14 159 - [CLEANUP] Code cleanup 160 1612019-09-11 162 - 2.2.0 163 - [FEATURE] Server code is included in the library 164 - [FEATURE] IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 Support (ID-22) 165 1662019-05-13 167 - 1.21.2 168 - [OPTIMIZATION] HPACK: use history to improve compression performance 169 1702019-05-06 171 - 1.21.1 172 - [BUGFIX] If FIN or RST not received, don't delay stream destruction. 173 - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up HPACK encoder by using same hash value to 174 search static and dynamic tables. 175 1762019-04-12 177 - 1.21.0 178 - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module. 179 1802019-04-01 181 - 1.20.0 182 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046. 183 1842019-03-19 185 - 1.19.6 186 - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we 187 send. ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization 188 introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later. 189 In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium- 190 based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value 191 as an error. 192 1932019-03-05 194 - 1.19.5 195 - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index. 196 - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert. 197 - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP"). 198 1992019-02-25 200 - 1.19.4 201 - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob. 202 - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed. 203 - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level. 204 2052019-02-18 206 - 1.19.3 207 - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes. Six-byte 208 packet number encoding does not exist in Q044. This fixes a 209 regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain 210 ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting 211 the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered 212 packet that carries the ACK. 213 - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs. 214 - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line. 215 Use -o handshake_to=timeout. 216 - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors. 217 - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed 218 without issuing any requests. This can be done by simply not 219 specifying a -p flag on the command line. 220 2212019-02-11 222 - 1.19.2 223 - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info. 224 - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function. 225 2262019-02-04 227 - 1.19.1 228 - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build. 229 2302019-02-04 231 - 1.19.0 232 - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support. Add function to export 0-RTT 233 information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call. 234 - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support. 235 - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build. 236 - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary. 237 - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames. 238 - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided. 239 - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails. 240 - cmake: simplify build configuration. 241 2422019-01-28 243 - 1.18.0 244 - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings. 245 - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity. Since the change on 246 2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick 247 time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by 248 the user. 249 - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done. 250 - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK. Even 251 if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write 252 to one already allocated. 253 - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets. 254 2552019-01-17 256 - 1.17.15 257 - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback 258 is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode. 259 - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created. 260 - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first 261 buffered packet if an ACK is queued. This reduces the number of 262 standalone ACK packets. 263 - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same 264 stream into an outgoing packet. This change minimizes the number of 265 buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by 266 virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in 267 the same packet. 268 - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets. This 269 causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue, 270 thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP 271 messages. 272 2732019-01-16 274 - 1.17.14 275 - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB, 276 time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth. See -t flag. 277 - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time. 278 - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request. 279 Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is 280 successful and -a option is given. 281 - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading. If a 282 stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns, 283 close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick. 284 If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be 285 processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one. 286 - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest 287 priority. 288 2892019-01-10 290 - 1.17.12 291 - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context 292 of a single connection. See -w option. 293 2942019-01-03 295 - 1.17.11 296 - Fix strict aliasing warning in optimized compilation. 297 2982018-12-27 299 - 1.17.10 300 - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections 301 again. (See the -n argument.) 302 3032018-12-18 304 - 1.17.9 305 - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4 306 3072018-12-10 308 - 1.17.8 309 - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux 310 3112018-12-03 312 - 1.17.7 313 - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms. 314 This prevented PING from ever being sent. 315 3162018-11-29 317 - 1.17.6 318 - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time 319 320 The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine 321 will not send packets after some packets are delayed. This makes 322 the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine 323 explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call. 324 325 - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are 326 a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging. 327 - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller 328 cleanup. 329 3302018-11-16 331 - 1.17.3 332 - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044 333 3342018-10-19 335 - 1.17.2 336 - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test. 337 - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite 338 flags. (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.) 339 3402018-10-16 341 - 1.17.0 342 - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update: 343 - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return 344 - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments 345 - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated 346 - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless 347 initialization 348 - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of 349 DEVEL_MODE 350 3512018-10-03 352 - 1.16.0 353 - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams() 354 - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on 355 3562018-09-27 357 - 1.15.0 358 - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses 359 - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs 360 3612018-09-12 362 - 1.14.3 363 - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream 364 - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging. 365 Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging. 366 Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from 367 repackaged packets. We must check that the newly repackaged packet 368 would not be empty. If it would be, it is destroyed instead and 369 the next packet on the scheduled queue is used. Note that this 370 change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent. 371 Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in 372 this fashion. 373 - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs. 374 (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we 375 support.) 376 3772018-09-06 378 - 1.14.0 379 - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent 380 If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable 381 packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called. 382 - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit. 383 - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap. Peers 384 may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older 385 than Q043. 386 - Custom header set fixes: 387 - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is 388 claimed; 389 - do not return custom header set for a reset stream. 390 3912018-08-27 392 393 - 1.13.0 394 - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set 395 objects via callbacks. This avoids reading and re-parsing 396 headers from the stream. 397 3982018-08-27 399 400 - 1.12.4 401 - Fix memory leak when engine is destroyed 402 - Fix memory leak in http_client 403 - Fix gcc warning in unit tests 404 4052018-08-22 406 407 - 1.12.3 408 - [BUGFIX] Fix duplicate STREAM frame detection 409 4102018-08-20 411 412 - 1.12.2 413 - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of 414 an already-scheduled packet. 415 - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in 416 unexpected ways. 417 4182018-08-17 419 420 - 1.12.0 421 - [FEATURE, API Change] Add support for certificate verification 422 4232018-08-16 424 425 - 1.11.1 426 - [BUGFIX] Fix STOP_WAITING frame processing in the new Q044 code 427 4282018-08-15 429 430 - 1.11.0 431 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q044. 432 4332018-08-09 434 435 - 1.10.2 436 - [BUGFIX] Don't go over limit when creating delayed streams 437 4382018-07-10 439 440 - 1.10.1 441 - [BUGFIX] process connections after each batch of packets is read 442 This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets 443 (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large) 444 and processing it all at once. 445 - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt. This is necessary for 446 clock_getres(2). 447 - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes. 448 4492018-06-13 450 451 - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default 452 453 Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default. 454 If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by 455 the address. A new connection is not created if another connection 456 is using the same network address 457 4582018-05-30 459 460 - [FEATURE, API CHANGE] Support zero-sized CIDs in received packets 461 4622018-05-24 463 464 - Close connection properly when packet encryption fails 465 4662018-05-23 467 468 - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to delayed packets 469 4702018-05-21 471 472 - [API Change] Add optional callback to call when handshake is done 473 - [API Change, BUGFIX] After send failure, wait until transport available 474 4752018-05-18 476 477 - [API] Expose useful lsquic_ver2str[] in lsquic.h 478 - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to STREAM frame elision 479 - Improve checks of number of incoming streams limit and associated 480 error reporting. 481 - [BUGFIX] Command-line option `-6` now works correctly. 482 4832018-05-16 484 485 - [FEATURE] DNS resolution 486 - [BUGFIX] Frame insertion mis-ID as overlap instead of dup 487 - http_client: fix priority range generated by -E flag 488 4892018-05-09 490 491 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q043. 492 - Support for versions Q037, Q038, Q041, and Q042 has been removed. 493 - Fix typo in debug message. 494 - Fix code indentation. 495 - Add /* fallthru */ comment to stop newer gcc from complaining. 496 - Logger: fix compilation of optimized Windows build. 497 4982018-05-04 499 500 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q042. 501 - Remove comment: MSPC is obsolete (no code changes) 502 - Prog: use lsquic_str2ver() when processing -o version flag 503 - Remove unused CTIM and SRBF transport parameters 504 - Disable QUIC versions Q037 and Q038 by default 505 - Fix Windows compilation by including compat header file in 506 lshpack.c 507 - Address warnings produced by newer versions of gcc 508 - Future-proof: turn off -Werror 509 5102018-05-02 511 512 - [BUGFIX] Make lsquic_conn_quic_version() available 513 - Switch to using ls-hpack 1.1 514 - [BUGFIX] Do not ignore stream resets after receiving FIN 515 5162018-04-27 517 518 - HPACK: do not allow header block to end with table size update. 519 5202018-04-25 521 522 - [BUGFIX] Do not create gap in sent packnos when squeezing delayed 523 packets. 524 - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes. 525 - [BUGFIX] connections with blocked scheduled packets are not tickable 526 for sending. 527 - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level 528 frame. 529 5302018-04-23 531 532 - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress. When connection is 533 self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked. There 534 are two issues: 535 1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if 536 they can be sent out. 537 2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing 538 queue. When the tick occurs, we must service the stream 539 independent of whether any packets are sent. 540 - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some 541 conditions. 542 - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis. 543 5442018-04-20 545 546 - [BUGFIX] Fix bug in lsquic_engine_connect() exposed by yesterday's 547 changes. 548 5492018-04-19 550 551 - [BUGFIX] Add connection to Tickable Queue on stream write 552 - cmake: use MSVC variable instead of trying to detect 553 - engine: improve connection incref/decref logging 554 - stream: don't ignore errors that may occur on triggered flush 555 - connection: remove obsolete method 556 - engine: indicate connection as tickable if previous call went 557 over threshold 558 5592018-04-09 560 561 [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed 562 563 The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several 564 queues. A "connection queue" is now an internal concept. 565 The user processes connections using the single function 566 lsquic_engine_process_conns(). When this function is called, 567 only those connections are processed that need to be processed. 568 A connection needs to be processed when: 569 570 1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection. 571 2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable. 572 3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable. 573 4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out. (This 574 means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the 575 lsquic library callback.) 576 5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out. 577 6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to 578 be created. 579 7. An alarm rings. 580 8. Pacer timer expires. 581 582 To achieve this, the library places the connections into two 583 priority queues (min heaps): 584 585 1. Tickable Queue; and 586 2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ). 587 588 Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable 589 Queue is emptied. After the connections have been ticked, they are 590 queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed 591 either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or 592 it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue. It is assumed that 593 a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm). 594 595 The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least 596 recently ticked order. This lets connections that have been quiet 597 longer to get their packets scheduled first. 598 599 This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked 600 periodically. The user code can query the library when is the 601 next tick event and schedule it exactly. When connections are 602 processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all* 603 the connections. When there are no tick events, it means that no 604 timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event 605 is active. 606 607 The following are improvements and simplifications that have 608 been triggered: 609 610 - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone. 611 - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its 612 history and progress checks). This queue has become the 613 Tickable Queue. 614 - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection 615 insertion order. 616 6172018-04-02 618 619 - [FEATURE] Windows support 620 621 - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap. 622 6232018-03-09 624 625 - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible 626 627 Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are 628 saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the 629 connection is ticked. If several ACKs come in a series between 630 adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset 631 of the saved ACK. If it is, the older ACK is not processed. 632 633 If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is 634 either processed or saved. 635 636 - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history. 637 638 Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence. This reduces 639 the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of 640 packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification. 641 642 By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a 643 single warning is generated per connection. The connection can continue 644 to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some 645 inconsistencies. 646 647 - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct 648 649 The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that 650 are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss, 651 which is the normal case). To speed up reads and writes, we no longer 652 try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers. Use regular integer 653 width for everything. 654 655 - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet. 656 657 - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out 658 659 Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked, 660 use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame 661 was generated. 662 663 - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop 664 665 - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed 666 667 - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing. 668 669 - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort() 670 6712018-02-26 672 - [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection 673 object. 674 - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_get_engine() to get engine object from 675 connection object. 676 - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status. 677 - [API Change] Add add lsquic_conn_set_ctx(). 678 - [API Change] Add new timestamp format, e.g. 2017-03-21 13:43:46.671345 679 - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet 680 arrives. 681 - [OPTIMIZATION] Do not compile expensive send controller sanity check 682 by default. 683 - [OPTIMIZATION] Add fast path to gquic_be_gen_reg_pkt_header. 684 - [OPTIMIZATION] Only make squeeze function call if necessary. 685 - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up Q039 ACK frame parsing. 686 - [OPTIMIZATION] Fit most used elements of packet_out into first 64 bytes. 687 - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of scheduled bytes instead of calculating. 688 - [OPTIMIZATION] Prefetch next unacked packet when processing ACK. 689 - [OPTIMIZATION] Leverage fact that ACK ranges and unacked list are. 690 ordered. 691 - [OPTIMIZATION] Reduce function pointer use for STREAM frame generation 692 - Fix: reset incoming streams that arrive after we send GOAWAY. 693 - Fix: delay client on_new_conn() call until connection is fully set up. 694 - Fixes to buffered packets logic: splitting, STREAM frame elision. 695 - Fix: do not dispatch on_write callback if no packets are available. 696 - Fix WINDOW_UPDATE send and resend logic. 697 - Fix STREAM frame extension code. 698 - Fix: Drop unflushed data when stream is reset. 699 - Switch to tracking CWND using bytes rather than packets. 700 - Fix TCP friendly adjustment in cubic. 701 - Fix: do not generate invalid STOP_WAITING frames during high packet 702 loss. 703 - Pacer fixes. 704 7052017-12-18 706 707 - Fix: better follow cubic curve after idle period 708 - Fix: add missing parts to outgoing packet splitting code 709 - Fix: compilation using gcc 4.8.4 710 7112017-10-31 712 713 - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs 714 7152017-10-31 716 717 - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone. The stream no 718 longer opens files and deals with file descriptors. (Among other 719 things, this makes the code more portable.) Three writing functions 720 are provided: 721 722 lsquic_stream_write 723 lsquic_stream_writev 724 lsquic_stream_writef (NEW) 725 726 lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function 727 pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement. 728 This is the most flexible way. lsquic_stream_write() and 729 lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around 730 lsquic_stream_writef(). 731 732 - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the 733 on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer, 734 bypassing auxiliary data structures. This reduces amount of memory 735 required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited 736 by the congestion window. 737 738 To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N 739 outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to 740 by any stream. One half of these are reserved for the highest 741 priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams. This way, 742 low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams 743 and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send 744 their packets out. 745 746 The algorithm is as follows: 747 748 - When user writes to stream outside of the callback: 749 - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the 750 reserved N/2 queue or fail. 751 (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) -- 752 rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as 753 much as can be sent.) 754 - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the 755 data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail. 756 - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled: 757 - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled 758 queue. 759 - If more scheduling is allowed: 760 - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams, 761 placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue. 762 - If more scheduling is allowed: 763 - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled 764 queue. 765 - If more scheduling is allowed: 766 - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams, 767 placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue 768 769 The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on 770 resource usage. 771 772 - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable 773 from on_new. 774 775 - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing 776 more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet. 777 This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check. 778 Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function. 779 780 - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset 781 stream has outgoing packets referencing it. 782 783 - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now 784 inside a union. 785 7862017-10-12 787 788 - Do not send RST_STREAM when stream is closed for reading 789 - Raise maximum header size from 4K to 64K 790 - Check header name and value lengths against maximum imposed by HPACK 791 - Fix NULL dereference in stream flow controller 792 7932017-10-09 794 795 - Hide handshake implementation behind a set of function pointers 796 - Use monotonically increasing clock 797 - Make sure that retx delay is not larger than the max of 60 seconds 798 7992017-09-29 800 801 - A few fixes to code and README 802 8032017-09-28 804 805 - Add support for Q041; drop support for Q040 806 8072017-09-27 808 809 - Fix CMakeLists.txt: BoringSSL include and lib was mixed up 810 8112017-09-26 812 813 - Add support for Mac OS 814 - Add support for Raspberry Pi 815 - Fix BoringSSL compilation: include <openssl/hmac.h> explicitly 816 8172017-09-22 818 819 - Initial release 820
