3    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
4    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.
5    - Fix http_client: check command-line arguments better, prevent crash.
6    - Fix IETF conn: can_write_ack() should only care about APP PNS.
7    - Client: delay stream creation until handshake succeds.
8    - Reset HTTP stream whose write end is closed prematurely.
9    - Fix tickable(): mirror behavior of tick() wrt buffered packets.
10    - Log reason why engine is tickable.
11
122019-10-11
13    - 2.4.6
14    - Minor code cleanup and logging improvements.
15    - Server and client programs: include library version (e.g. 2.4.6)
16      into `server' and `user-agent' headers.
17
182019-10-08
19    - 2.4.5
20    - [OPTIMIZATION]: flush encoder stream only when necessary.

22    - [BUGFIX] Typo in IETF conn SETTINGS writer.
23    - Use latest BoringSSL.
24
252019-10-08
26    - 2.4.4
27    - [API] Add lsquic_alpn2ver() to aid parsing Alt-Svc header.
28    - [BUGFIX] NULL dereference when H3 frame header would be split.
29    - [BUGFIX] Do not close fixed-size H3 frame prematurely.
30    - [BUGFIX] Allow PING frames in IETF mini conn.
31    - [BUGFIX] Mini conns: don't send any packets after receiving
32      CONNECTION_CLOSE.
33    - [BUGFIX] Client migration: reserve slot for DCID from transport params.
34    - [BUGFIX] Allow max_early_data_size=0 -- early_data might not be there.
35    - [BUGFIX] Use an invalid stream number to reset BPT cache (zero is now a
36      valid stream number).
37    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
38    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.
39    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data.
40    - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately.
41    - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1.
42
432019-09-30
44    - 2.4.3
45    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
46      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
47      some point in the future.
48    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
49    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set
50      to 0xFFFFFFFF

61
622019-09-18
63    - 2.4.0
64    - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 23 support
65
662019-09-13
67    - 2.3.1
68    - [BUGFIX] Fix memory leaks
69    - [BUGFIX] Fix unit tests
70
712019-09-12
72    - 2.3.0
73    - [FEATURE] BBR congestion control is on by default
74    - [BUGFIX] BBR app-limited logic
75    - [BUGFIX] Fix uninitialized warnings in IETF
76    - [BUGFIX] Update ls-qpack to v0.9.14
77    - [CLEANUP] Code cleanup
78
792019-09-11
80    - 2.2.0
81    - [FEATURE] Server code is included in the library
82    - [FEATURE] IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 Support (ID-22)
83
842019-05-13
85    - 1.21.2
86    - [OPTIMIZATION] HPACK: use history to improve compression performance
87
882019-05-06
89    - 1.21.1
90    - [BUGFIX] If FIN or RST not received, don't delay stream destruction.
91    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up HPACK encoder by using same hash value to
92      search static and dynamic tables.
93
942019-04-12
95    - 1.21.0
96    - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module.
97
982019-04-01
99    - 1.20.0
100    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
101
1022019-03-19
103    - 1.19.6
104    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
105      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
106      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
107      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
108      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
109      as an error.
110
1112019-03-05
112    - 1.19.5
113    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
114    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
115    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
116
1172019-02-25
118    - 1.19.4
119    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
120    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
121    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
122
1232019-02-18
124    - 1.19.3
125    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
126      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
127      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
128      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
129      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
130      packet that carries the ACK.
131    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
132    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
133      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
134    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
135    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
136      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
137      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
138
1392019-02-11
140    - 1.19.2
141    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.
142    - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function.
143
1442019-02-04
145    - 1.19.1
146    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
147
1482019-02-04
149    - 1.19.0
150    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
151      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
152    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
153    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
154    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
155    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
156    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
157    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
158    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
159
1602019-01-28
161    - 1.18.0
162    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
163    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
164      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
165      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
166      the user.
167    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
168    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
169      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
170      to one already allocated.
171    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
172
1732019-01-17
174    - 1.17.15
175    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
176      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
177    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
178    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
179      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
180      standalone ACK packets.
181    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
182      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
183      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
184      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
185      the same packet.
186    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
187      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
188      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
189      messages.
190
1912019-01-16
192    - 1.17.14
193    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
194      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
195    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
196    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
197      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
198      successful and -a option is given.
199    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
200      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
201      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
202      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
203      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
204    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
205      priority.
206
2072019-01-10
208    - 1.17.12
209    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
210      of a single connection.  See -w option.
211
2122019-01-03
213    - 1.17.11
214    - Fix strict aliasing warning in optimized compilation.
215
2162018-12-27
217    - 1.17.10
218    - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections
219      again.  (See the -n argument.)
220
2212018-12-18
222    - 1.17.9
223    - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4
224
2252018-12-10
226    - 1.17.8
227    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
228
2292018-12-03
230    - 1.17.7
231    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
232      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
233
2342018-11-29
235    - 1.17.6
236    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
237
238      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
239      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
240      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
241      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
242
243    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
244      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
245    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
246      cleanup.
247
2482018-11-16
249    - 1.17.3
250    - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044
251
2522018-10-19
253    - 1.17.2
254    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.
255    - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite
256      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
257
2582018-10-16
259    - 1.17.0
260    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
261      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
262      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
263    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
264    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
265      initialization
266    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
267      DEVEL_MODE
268
2692018-10-03
270    - 1.16.0
271    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams()
272    - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on
273
2742018-09-27
275    - 1.15.0
276    - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses
277    - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs
278
2792018-09-12
280    - 1.14.3
281    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
282    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
283      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
284      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
285      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
286      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
287      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
288      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
289      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
290      this fashion.
291    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
292      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
293      support.)
294
2952018-09-06
296    - 1.14.0
297    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
298      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
299      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
300    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
301    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
302      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
303      than Q043.
304    - Custom header set fixes:
305      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
306        claimed;
307      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
308
3092018-08-27
310
311    - 1.13.0
312    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
313      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
314      headers from the stream.
315
3162018-08-27
317
318    - 1.12.4
319    - Fix memory leak when engine is destroyed
320    - Fix memory leak in http_client
321    - Fix gcc warning in unit tests
322
3232018-08-22
324
325    - 1.12.3
326    - [BUGFIX] Fix duplicate STREAM frame detection
327
3282018-08-20
329
330    - 1.12.2
331    - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of
332      an already-scheduled packet.
333    - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in
334      unexpected ways.
335
3362018-08-17
337
338    - 1.12.0
339    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add support for certificate verification
340
3412018-08-16
342
343    - 1.11.1
344    - [BUGFIX] Fix STOP_WAITING frame processing in the new Q044 code
345
3462018-08-15
347
348    - 1.11.0
349    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q044.
350
3512018-08-09
352
353    - 1.10.2
354    - [BUGFIX] Don't go over limit when creating delayed streams
355
3562018-07-10
357
358    - 1.10.1
359    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
360      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
361      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
362      and processing it all at once.
363    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
364      clock_getres(2).
365    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.
366
3672018-06-13
368
369    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
370
371      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
372      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
373      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
374      is using the same network address
375
3762018-05-30
377
378    - [FEATURE, API CHANGE] Support zero-sized CIDs in received packets
379
3802018-05-24
381
382    - Close connection properly when packet encryption fails
383
3842018-05-23
385
386    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to delayed packets
387
3882018-05-21
389
390    - [API Change] Add optional callback to call when handshake is done
391    - [API Change, BUGFIX] After send failure, wait until transport available
392
3932018-05-18
394
395    - [API] Expose useful lsquic_ver2str[] in lsquic.h
396    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to STREAM frame elision
397    - Improve checks of number of incoming streams limit and associated
398      error reporting.
399    - [BUGFIX] Command-line option `-6` now works correctly.
400
4012018-05-16
402
403    - [FEATURE] DNS resolution
404    - [BUGFIX] Frame insertion mis-ID as overlap instead of dup
405    - http_client: fix priority range generated by -E flag
406
4072018-05-09
408
409    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q043.
410    - Support for versions Q037, Q038, Q041, and Q042 has been removed.
411    - Fix typo in debug message.
412    - Fix code indentation.
413    - Add /* fallthru */ comment to stop newer gcc from complaining.
414    - Logger: fix compilation of optimized Windows build.
415
4162018-05-04
417
418    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q042.
419    - Remove comment: MSPC is obsolete (no code changes)
420    - Prog: use lsquic_str2ver() when processing -o version flag
421    - Remove unused CTIM and SRBF transport parameters
422    - Disable QUIC versions Q037 and Q038 by default
423    - Fix Windows compilation by including compat header file in
424      lshpack.c
425    - Address warnings produced by newer versions of gcc
426    - Future-proof: turn off -Werror
427
4282018-05-02
429
430    - [BUGFIX] Make lsquic_conn_quic_version() available
431    - Switch to using ls-hpack 1.1
432    - [BUGFIX] Do not ignore stream resets after receiving FIN
433
4342018-04-27
435
436    - HPACK: do not allow header block to end with table size update.
437
4382018-04-25
439
440    - [BUGFIX] Do not create gap in sent packnos when squeezing delayed
441      packets.
442    - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes.
443    - [BUGFIX] connections with blocked scheduled packets are not tickable
444      for sending.
445    - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level
446      frame.
447
4482018-04-23
449
450    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
451      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
452      are two issues:
453        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
454           they can be sent out.
455        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
456           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
457           independent of whether any packets are sent.
458    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some
459      conditions.
460    - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis.

479    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
480
481    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
482    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
483    The user processes connections using the single function
484    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
485    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
486    A connection needs to be processed when:
487
488        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
489        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
490        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
491        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
492           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
493           lsquic library callback.)
494        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
495        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
496           be created.
497        7. An alarm rings.
498        8. Pacer timer expires.
499
500    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
501    priority queues (min heaps):
502
503        1. Tickable Queue; and
504        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
505
506    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
507    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
508    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
509    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
510    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
511    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
512
513    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
514    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
515    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
516
517    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
518    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
519    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
520    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
521    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
522    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
523    is active.
524
525    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
526    been triggered:
527
528        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
529        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
530          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
531          Tickable Queue.
532        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
533          insertion order.

542
543    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
544
545      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
546      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
547      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
548      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
549      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
550
551      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
552      either processed or saved.
553
554    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
555
556      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
557      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
558      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
559
560      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
561      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
562      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
563      inconsistencies.
564
565    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
566
567      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
568      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
569      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
570      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
571      width for everything.
572
573    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
574
575    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
576
577      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
578      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
579      was generated.
580
581    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
582
583    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
584
585    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.

632
6332017-10-31
634
635    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
636      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
637      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
638      are provided:
639
640        lsquic_stream_write
641        lsquic_stream_writev
642        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
643
644      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
645      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
646      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
647      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
648      lsquic_stream_writef().
649
650    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
651      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
652      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
653      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
654      by the congestion window.
655
656      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
657      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
658      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
659      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
660      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
661      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
662      their packets out.
663
664      The algorithm is as follows:
665
666      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
667        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
668          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
669            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
670             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
671             much as can be sent.)
672        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
673          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
674      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
675        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
676          queue.
677        - If more scheduling is allowed:
678          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
679            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
680        - If more scheduling is allowed:
681          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
682            queue.
683        - If more scheduling is allowed:
684          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
685            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
686
687      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
688      resource usage.
689
690    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
691      from on_new.
692
693    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
694      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
695      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
696      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
697
698    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
699      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
700
701    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
702      inside a union.
