26    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
27      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
28      change to the function itself is required.
29
302020-10-08
31    - 2.22.1

95    - Fix malo initialization when compiled in no-pool mode.
96
972020-09-08

111      cleanup.
112    - Don't use -Werror.

182
1832020-07-06
184    - 2.18.0
185    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
186      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
187      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
188      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
189      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
190      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
191      proper context.

253    - Use ls-hpack 2.2.1.
254    - Turn off unconditional extra checks for IETF clients.
255    - Extra checks: don't verify sent size of hello packets.  Client
256      changes DCID length and this check will fail.

431    - Improve Alt-Svc string: Q050 and later are not included in
432      the old-style "quic" string.
433    - Send stateless resets if connection could not be promoted.
434    - Schedule MAX_DATA if needed when DATA_BLOCKED is received.
435    - Use ls-qpack 0.11.2 -- needed for server push optimization.
436    - Code cleanup: handle some error cases, improve logging.
437
4382020-01-16
439    - 2.8.9
440    - [BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack 0.11.1
441    - [OPTIMIZATION] Generate random bytes in batches.
442    - Change loss_bits transport parameter ID to 0x1057 following
443      latest draft.

446
4472020-01-14
448    - 2.8.8
449    - [BUGFIX] Invalid read when parsing IETF transport parameters
450      (this was benign).
451    - [OPTIMIZATION] Frame bundling when using buffered packets in
452      IETF QUIC: a) flush QPACK decoder stream and b) include ACKs
453      in opportunistic fashion.
454    - Fix HTTP/3 framing unit test.
455    - Code cleanup.
456
4572020-01-09
458    - 2.8.7
459    - [BUGFIX] Initial packet size check for IETF mini conn applies to
460      UDP payload, not QUIC packet.
461    - Support old and new school loss_bits transport parameter.
462    - Use Q run length of 64 as suggested in the loss bits Draft.
463    - Undo square wave count when packet is delayed.
464    - Code cleanup; minor fixes.
465
4662020-01-06
467    - 2.8.5
468    - [HTTP3] Verify number of bytes in incoming DATA frames against
469      content-length.
470    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
471      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
472      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security
473      Considerations in the QPACK draft.
474    - [BUGFIX] Mini conn: don't shorten max packet size for Q050 and later.
475    - [BUGFIX] Init IETF connection flow controller using correct setting.
476    - [BUGFIX] Fix unintended sign extension when removing header protection.
477    - Code cleanup and minor fixes.

480    - 2.8.1
481    - [FEATURE] Use occasional packet number gaps to detect optimistic
482      ACK attacks.
483    - [BUGFIX] Q050 client: all packet numbers are in the App PNS.
484    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge multi-range ACK frames, not just single-range
485      ACK frames.
486    - IETF QUIC: use RTT estimate in ack timeout calculation.
487    - IETF handshake: abort conn when unexpected errors occur.
488    - Use PING rather than MAX_DATA frames to elicit ACKs from peer.
489    - Server: enforce 1200 byte Initial minimum packet size.
490    - [CLEANUP] Remove code to disable gQUIC crypto.
491    - [CLEANUP] Remove n_timestamps from ACK info struct.

5012019-12-18
502    - 2.7.3
503    - [DEBUG] Further dedup next advisory tick messages when reason is
504      the same.
505    - [BUGFIX] Update size of `a` array in TP struct.  Fixes (benign)
506      GitHub bug #94.
507    - Use Cubic by default again instead of BBR, as it delivers more
508      consistent performance.
509
5102019-12-11
511    - 2.7.2
512    - [BUGFIX] Send controller: update scheduled bytes when DCID length
513      changes (IETF client).
514    - [BUGFIX] Drop alarm check from sanity test.  It no longer works now
515      that we use loss chains.
516    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build on Alpine Linux.
517    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build using XCode.
518    - Client initial DCID length: use RAND_bytes() instead of rand(3).
519    - Add unit tests for connection min heap.
520    - [DEBUG] Log CID in gQUIC handshake module
521    - [DEBUG] Turn on extra checks for IETF client send controller.
522    - [DEBUG] Dedup next advisory tick messages when reason is IDLE timer.
523    - [DEBUG] QPACK decoder handler: log header error code.
524
5252019-12-05
526    - 2.7.1
527    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
528      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
529      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
530      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
531      outgoing packets that were batched.
532    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
533      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
534      some platforms.
535    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
536    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
537      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
538    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
539    - Several small improvements to the test server.
540
5412019-11-27
542    - 2.7.0
543    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
544      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
545      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
546      sendmsg() to send packets.
547    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
548    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.

573    - [BUGFIX] SCID!=ODCID rule applies to Retry packets, not regular
574      packets.
575    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
576    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
577      connection.
578    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
579    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
580    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
581
5822019-11-08
583    - 2.6.1
584    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.
585    - Event log: log sent packet flags.  In particular, this allows one
586      to see whether token was sent.
587    - Don't migrate client if es_allow_migration is false.

598      packet.
599
6002019-11-04
601    - 2.5.1
602    - [BUGFIX] Fix double-free when emptying a packet number space.
603    - [BUGFIX] http_server: fix md5sum handler: handle EOF correctly.
604    - [BUGFIX] Use random values in bits 4 and 5 of the first byte of
605      verneg packets (regression introduced in 2.5.0).
606    - [OPTIMIZATION] Don't compile in expensive attq checks by default.
607    - [OPTIMIZATION] http_server: compile regexes only once.
608

6182019-10-24
619    - 2.4.10
620    - [BUGFIX] IETF QUIC server: fix uninitialized variable use.
621    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
622    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID
623      values are not unique).
624    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
625      can time out.
626    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
627
6282019-10-21
629    - 2.4.8
630    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.
631
6322019-10-15
633    - 2.4.7
634    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
635    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.
636    - Fix http_client: check command-line arguments better, prevent crash.
637    - Fix IETF conn: can_write_ack() should only care about APP PNS.
638    - Client: delay stream creation until handshake succeds.
639    - Reset HTTP stream whose write end is closed prematurely.
640    - Fix tickable(): mirror behavior of tick() wrt buffered packets.

642
6432019-10-11
644    - 2.4.6
645    - Minor code cleanup and logging improvements.

658    - [API] Add lsquic_alpn2ver() to aid parsing Alt-Svc header.
659    - [BUGFIX] NULL dereference when H3 frame header would be split.
660    - [BUGFIX] Do not close fixed-size H3 frame prematurely.
661    - [BUGFIX] Allow PING frames in IETF mini conn.
662    - [BUGFIX] Mini conns: don't send any packets after receiving
663      CONNECTION_CLOSE.
664    - [BUGFIX] Client migration: reserve slot for DCID from transport params.
665    - [BUGFIX] Allow max_early_data_size=0 -- early_data might not be there.
666    - [BUGFIX] Use an invalid stream number to reset BPT cache (zero is now a
667      valid stream number).
668    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
669    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.
670    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data.
671    - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately.
672    - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1.
673
6742019-09-30
675    - 2.4.3
676    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
677      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
678      some point in the future.
679    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
680    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set
681      to 0xFFFFFFFF
682

684    - 2.4.2
685    - [BUGFIX] H3 framing: fix zero-byte write when space is available
686    - [BUGFIX] Don't send STREAM frame when incoming unidirectgional stream
687      is closed
688    - [BUGFIX] Cancel all pending writes by stream reset by a GOAWAY
689    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free in IETF full conn
690    - [OPTIMIZATION] Wait for session tickets for two seconds and then drop
691      SSL object and crypto streams.

728
7292019-04-01
730    - 1.20.0
731    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
732
7332019-03-19
734    - 1.19.6
735    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
736      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
737      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
738      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
739      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
740      as an error.
741
7422019-03-05
743    - 1.19.5
744    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
745    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
746    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
747
7482019-02-25
749    - 1.19.4
750    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
751    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
752    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
753
7542019-02-18
755    - 1.19.3
756    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
757      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
758      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
759      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
760      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
761      packet that carries the ACK.
762    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
763    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
764      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
765    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
766    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
767      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
768      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
769
7702019-02-11
771    - 1.19.2
772    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.

777    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
778
7792019-02-04
780    - 1.19.0
781    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
782      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
783    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
784    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
785    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
786    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
787    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
788    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
789    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
790
7912019-01-28
792    - 1.18.0
793    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
794    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
795      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
796      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
797      the user.
798    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
799    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
800      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
801      to one already allocated.
802    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
803
8042019-01-17
805    - 1.17.15
806    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
807      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
808    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
809    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
810      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
811      standalone ACK packets.
812    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
813      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
814      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
815      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
816      the same packet.
817    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
818      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
819      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
820      messages.
821
8222019-01-16
823    - 1.17.14
824    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
825      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
826    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
827    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
828      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
829      successful and -a option is given.
830    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
831      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
832      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
833      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
834      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
835    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
836      priority.
837
8382019-01-10
839    - 1.17.12
840    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context

842
8432019-01-03
844    - 1.17.11

859
8602018-12-03
861    - 1.17.7
862    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
863      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
864
8652018-11-29
866    - 1.17.6
867    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
868
869      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
870      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
871      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
872      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
873
874    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
875      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
876    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
877      cleanup.
878
8792018-11-16

8892018-10-16
890    - 1.17.0
891    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
892      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
893      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
894    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
895    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
896      initialization

909
9102018-09-12
911    - 1.14.3
912    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
913    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
914      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
915      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
916      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
917      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
918      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
919      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
920      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
921      this fashion.
922    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
923      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
924      support.)
925
9262018-09-06
927    - 1.14.0
928    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
929      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
930      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
931    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
932    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
933      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
934      than Q043.
935    - Custom header set fixes:
936      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
937        claimed;
938      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
939
9402018-08-27
941
942    - 1.13.0
943    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set

988
989    - 1.10.1
990    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
991      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
992      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
993      and processing it all at once.
994    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for

1001
1002      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1003      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by

1080
1081    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1082      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1083      are two issues:
1084        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1085           they can be sent out.
1086        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1087           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1088           independent of whether any packets are sent.

1109
1110    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1111
1112    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1113    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1114    The user processes connections using the single function
1115    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1116    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1117    A connection needs to be processed when:
1118
1119        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1120        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1121        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1122        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1123           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1124           lsquic library callback.)
1125        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1126        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1127           be created.
1128        7. An alarm rings.
1129        8. Pacer timer expires.
1130
1131    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1132    priority queues (min heaps):
1133
1134        1. Tickable Queue; and
1135        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1136
1137    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1138    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1139    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1140    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1141    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1142    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1143
1144    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1145    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1146    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1147
1148    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1149    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1150    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1151    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1152    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1153    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1154    is active.
1155
1156    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1157    been triggered:
1158
1159        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1160        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1161          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1162          Tickable Queue.
1163        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1164          insertion order.
1165
11662018-04-02
1167
1168    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1169

1171
11722018-03-09
1173
1174    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1175
1176      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1177      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1178      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1179      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1180      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1181
1182      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1183      either processed or saved.
1184
1185    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1186
1187      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1188      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1189      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1190
1191      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1192      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1193      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1194      inconsistencies.
1195
1196    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1197
1198      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1199      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1200      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1201      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1202      width for everything.
1203
1204    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1205
1206    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1207
1208      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1209      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1210      was generated.
1211
1212    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1213
1214    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1215
1216    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.

1218    - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort()
1219
12202018-02-26
1221    - [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection

1228    - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet
1229      arrives.
1230    - [OPTIMIZATION] Do not compile expensive send controller sanity check
1231      by default.
1232    - [OPTIMIZATION] Add fast path to gquic_be_gen_reg_pkt_header.
1233    - [OPTIMIZATION] Only make squeeze function call if necessary.

1237    - [OPTIMIZATION] Prefetch next unacked packet when processing ACK.
1238    - [OPTIMIZATION] Leverage fact that ACK ranges and unacked list are.
1239      ordered.
1240    - [OPTIMIZATION] Reduce function pointer use for STREAM frame generation
1241    - Fix: reset incoming streams that arrive after we send GOAWAY.
1242    - Fix: delay client on_new_conn() call until connection is fully set up.
1243    - Fixes to buffered packets logic: splitting, STREAM frame elision.
1244    - Fix: do not dispatch on_write callback if no packets are available.
1245    - Fix WINDOW_UPDATE send and resend logic.
1246    - Fix STREAM frame extension code.
1247    - Fix: Drop unflushed data when stream is reset.

1249    - Fix TCP friendly adjustment in cubic.
1250    - Fix: do not generate invalid STOP_WAITING frames during high packet
1251      loss.
1252    - Pacer fixes.

1258    - Fix: compilation using gcc 4.8.4
1259
12602017-10-31
1261
1262    - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs
1263
12642017-10-31
1265
1266    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1267      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1268      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1269      are provided:
1270
1271        lsquic_stream_write
1272        lsquic_stream_writev
1273        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1274
1275      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1276      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1277      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1278      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1279      lsquic_stream_writef().
1280
1281    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1282      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1283      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1284      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1285      by the congestion window.
1286
1287      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1288      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1289      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1290      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1291      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1292      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1293      their packets out.
1294
1295      The algorithm is as follows:
1296
1297      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1298        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1299          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1300            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1301             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1302             much as can be sent.)
1303        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1304          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1305      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1306        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1307          queue.
1308        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1309          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1310            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1311        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1312          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1313            queue.
1314        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1315          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1316            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1317
1318      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1319      resource usage.
1320
1321    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1322      from on_new.
1323
1324    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1325      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1326      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1327      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1328
1329    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1330      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1331
1332    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1333      inside a union.

1336
1337    - Do not send RST_STREAM when stream is closed for reading
1338    - Raise maximum header size from 4K to 64K
1339    - Check header name and value lengths against maximum imposed by HPACK
1340    - Fix NULL dereference in stream flow controller

1343
1344    - Hide handshake implementation behind a set of function pointers
1345    - Use monotonically increasing clock
1346    - Make sure that retx delay is not larger than the max of 60 seconds
