132    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
133      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
134      change to the function itself is required.
135
1362020-10-08
137    - 2.22.1

2892020-07-06
290    - 2.18.0
291    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
292      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
293      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
294      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
295      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
296      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
297      proper context.

575      content-length.
576    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
577      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client

6312019-12-05
632    - 2.7.1
633    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
634      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
635      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
636      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
637      outgoing packets that were batched.
638    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
639      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
640      some platforms.
641    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
642    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as

650      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
651      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
652      sendmsg() to send packets.
653    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.

681    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
682    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
683      connection.
684    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
685    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
686    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.

842      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
843      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
844      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
845      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
846      as an error.

856    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
857    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
858    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
859
8602019-02-18
861    - 1.19.3
862    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
863      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
864      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
865      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
866      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
867      packet that carries the ACK.
868    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
869    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
870      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
871    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
872    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
873      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
874      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
875
8762019-02-11
877    - 1.19.2
878    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.

8812019-02-04
882    - 1.19.1
883    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
884
8852019-02-04
886    - 1.19.0
887    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
888      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
889    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
890    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
891    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
892    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
893    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
894    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
895    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
896
8972019-01-28
898    - 1.18.0
899    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
900    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
901      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
902      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
903      the user.
904    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
905    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
906      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
907      to one already allocated.
908    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
909
9102019-01-17
911    - 1.17.15
912    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
913      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
914    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
915    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
916      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
917      standalone ACK packets.
918    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
919      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
920      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
921      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
922      the same packet.
923    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
924      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
925      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
926      messages.
927
9282019-01-16
929    - 1.17.14
930    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
931      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
932    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
933    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
934      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
935      successful and -a option is given.
936    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
937      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
938      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
939      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
940      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
941    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
942      priority.
943
9442019-01-10
945    - 1.17.12
946    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context

965
9662018-12-03
967    - 1.17.7
968    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
969      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
970
9712018-11-29
972    - 1.17.6
973    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
974
975      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
976      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
977      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
978      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
979
980    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
981      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
982    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
983      cleanup.

996    - 1.17.0
997    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:

999      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
1000    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
1001    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
1002      initialization
1003    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of

1015
10162018-09-12
1017    - 1.14.3
1018    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
1019    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
1020      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
1021      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
1022      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
1023      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
1024      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
1025      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
1026      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
1027      this fashion.
1028    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.

10322018-09-06
1033    - 1.14.0
1034    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1035      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1036      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1037    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1038    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1039      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1040      than Q043.
1041    - Custom header set fixes:
1042      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1043        claimed;
1044      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1045
10462018-08-27
1047
1048    - 1.13.0
1049    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set

1051      headers from the stream.

1096    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1097      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1098      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1099      and processing it all at once.
1100    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for

1190        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1191           they can be sent out.
1192        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1193           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1194           independent of whether any packets are sent.

1215
1216    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1217
1218    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1219    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1220    The user processes connections using the single function
1221    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1222    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1223    A connection needs to be processed when:
1224
1225        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1226        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1227        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1228        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1229           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1230           lsquic library callback.)
1231        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1232        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1233           be created.
1234        7. An alarm rings.
1235        8. Pacer timer expires.
1236
1237    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1238    priority queues (min heaps):
1239
1240        1. Tickable Queue; and
1241        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1242
1243    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1244    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1245    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1246    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1247    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1248    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1249
1250    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1251    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1252    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1253
1254    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1255    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1256    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1257    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1258    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1259    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1260    is active.
1261
1262    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1263    been triggered:
1264
1265        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1266        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1267          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1268          Tickable Queue.
1269        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1270          insertion order.
1271

12782018-03-09
1279
1280    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1281
1282      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1283      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1284      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1285      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1286      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1287
1288      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1289      either processed or saved.

1291    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1292
1293      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1294      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1295      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1296
1297      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1298      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1299      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1300      inconsistencies.
1301
1302    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1303
1304      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1305      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1306      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1307      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1308      width for everything.
1309
1310    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1311
1312    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1313
1314      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1315      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1316      was generated.
1317
1318    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1319

13702017-10-31
1371
1372    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1373      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1374      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1375      are provided:
1376
1377        lsquic_stream_write
1378        lsquic_stream_writev
1379        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1380
1381      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1382      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1383      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1384      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1385      lsquic_stream_writef().
1386
1387    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1388      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1389      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1390      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1391      by the congestion window.
1392
1393      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1394      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1395      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1396      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1397      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1398      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1399      their packets out.
1400
1401      The algorithm is as follows:
1402
1403      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1404        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1405          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1406            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1407             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1408             much as can be sent.)
1409        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1410          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1411      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1412        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1413          queue.
1414        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1415          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1416            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1417        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1418          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1419            queue.
1420        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1421          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1422            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1423
1424      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1425      resource usage.
1426
1427    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1428      from on_new.
1429
1430    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1431      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1432      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1433      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1434
1435    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1436      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1437
1438    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1439      inside a union.
