26      can time out.
27    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
28
292019-10-21

69    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
70    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.
71    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data.
72    - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately.
73    - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1.
74
752019-09-30
76    - 2.4.3
77    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
78      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
79      some point in the future.
80    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
81    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set
82      to 0xFFFFFFFF
83

93
942019-09-18
95    - 2.4.0
96    - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 23 support

101    - [BUGFIX] Fix unit tests
102
1032019-09-12
104    - 2.3.0
105    - [FEATURE] BBR congestion control is on by default
106    - [BUGFIX] BBR app-limited logic
107    - [BUGFIX] Fix uninitialized warnings in IETF
108    - [BUGFIX] Update ls-qpack to v0.9.14
109    - [CLEANUP] Code cleanup
110
1112019-09-11
112    - 2.2.0
113    - [FEATURE] Server code is included in the library
114    - [FEATURE] IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 Support (ID-22)
115
1162019-05-13
117    - 1.21.2
118    - [OPTIMIZATION] HPACK: use history to improve compression performance
119
1202019-05-06
121    - 1.21.1
122    - [BUGFIX] If FIN or RST not received, don't delay stream destruction.
123    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up HPACK encoder by using same hash value to
124      search static and dynamic tables.
125
1262019-04-12
127    - 1.21.0
128    - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module.
129
1302019-04-01
131    - 1.20.0
132    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
133
1342019-03-19
135    - 1.19.6
136    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
137      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
138      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
139      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
140      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
141      as an error.
142
1432019-03-05
144    - 1.19.5
145    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
146    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
147    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
148
1492019-02-25
150    - 1.19.4
151    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
152    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
153    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
154
1552019-02-18
156    - 1.19.3
157    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
158      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
159      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
160      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
161      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
162      packet that carries the ACK.
163    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
164    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
165      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
166    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
167    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
168      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
169      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
170
1712019-02-11
172    - 1.19.2
173    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.
174    - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function.
175
1762019-02-04
177    - 1.19.1
178    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
179
1802019-02-04
181    - 1.19.0
182    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
183      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
184    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
185    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
186    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
187    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
188    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
189    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
190    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
191
1922019-01-28
193    - 1.18.0
194    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
195    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
196      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
197      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
198      the user.
199    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
200    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
201      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
202      to one already allocated.
203    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
204
2052019-01-17
206    - 1.17.15
207    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
208      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
209    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
210    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
211      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
212      standalone ACK packets.
213    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
214      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
215      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
216      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
217      the same packet.
218    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
219      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
220      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
221      messages.
222
2232019-01-16
224    - 1.17.14
225    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
226      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
227    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
228    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
229      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
230      successful and -a option is given.
231    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
232      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
233      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
234      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
235      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
236    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
237      priority.
238
2392019-01-10
240    - 1.17.12
241    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
242      of a single connection.  See -w option.
243
2442019-01-03
245    - 1.17.11
246    - Fix strict aliasing warning in optimized compilation.
247
2482018-12-27
249    - 1.17.10
250    - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections
251      again.  (See the -n argument.)
252
2532018-12-18
254    - 1.17.9
255    - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4
256
2572018-12-10
258    - 1.17.8
259    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
260
2612018-12-03
262    - 1.17.7
263    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
264      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
265
2662018-11-29
267    - 1.17.6
268    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
269
270      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
271      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
272      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
273      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
274
275    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
276      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
277    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
278      cleanup.
279
2802018-11-16
281    - 1.17.3
282    - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044
283
2842018-10-19
285    - 1.17.2
286    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.
287    - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite
288      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
289
2902018-10-16
291    - 1.17.0
292    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
293      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
294      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
295    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
296    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
297      initialization
298    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
299      DEVEL_MODE
300
3012018-10-03
302    - 1.16.0
303    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams()
304    - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on
305
3062018-09-27
307    - 1.15.0
308    - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses
309    - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs
310
3112018-09-12
312    - 1.14.3
313    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
314    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
315      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
316      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
317      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
318      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
319      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
320      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
321      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
322      this fashion.
323    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
324      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
325      support.)
326
3272018-09-06
328    - 1.14.0
329    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
330      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
331      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
332    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
333    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
334      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
335      than Q043.
336    - Custom header set fixes:
337      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
338        claimed;
339      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
340
3412018-08-27
342
343    - 1.13.0
344    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
345      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
346      headers from the stream.
347
3482018-08-27
349
350    - 1.12.4
351    - Fix memory leak when engine is destroyed
352    - Fix memory leak in http_client
353    - Fix gcc warning in unit tests
354
3552018-08-22
356
357    - 1.12.3
358    - [BUGFIX] Fix duplicate STREAM frame detection
359
3602018-08-20
361
362    - 1.12.2
363    - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of
364      an already-scheduled packet.
365    - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in
366      unexpected ways.
367
3682018-08-17
369
370    - 1.12.0
371    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add support for certificate verification
372
3732018-08-16
374
375    - 1.11.1
376    - [BUGFIX] Fix STOP_WAITING frame processing in the new Q044 code
377
3782018-08-15
379
380    - 1.11.0
381    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q044.
382
3832018-08-09
384
385    - 1.10.2
386    - [BUGFIX] Don't go over limit when creating delayed streams
387
3882018-07-10
389
390    - 1.10.1
391    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
392      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
393      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
394      and processing it all at once.
395    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
396      clock_getres(2).
397    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.
398
3992018-06-13
400
401    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
402
403      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
404      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
405      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
406      is using the same network address
407
4082018-05-30
409
410    - [FEATURE, API CHANGE] Support zero-sized CIDs in received packets
411
4122018-05-24
413
414    - Close connection properly when packet encryption fails
415
4162018-05-23
417
418    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to delayed packets
419
4202018-05-21
421
422    - [API Change] Add optional callback to call when handshake is done
423    - [API Change, BUGFIX] After send failure, wait until transport available
424
4252018-05-18
426
427    - [API] Expose useful lsquic_ver2str[] in lsquic.h
428    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to STREAM frame elision
429    - Improve checks of number of incoming streams limit and associated
430      error reporting.
431    - [BUGFIX] Command-line option `-6` now works correctly.
432
4332018-05-16
434
435    - [FEATURE] DNS resolution
436    - [BUGFIX] Frame insertion mis-ID as overlap instead of dup
437    - http_client: fix priority range generated by -E flag
438
4392018-05-09
440
441    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q043.
442    - Support for versions Q037, Q038, Q041, and Q042 has been removed.
443    - Fix typo in debug message.
444    - Fix code indentation.
445    - Add /* fallthru */ comment to stop newer gcc from complaining.

471
472    - [BUGFIX] Do not create gap in sent packnos when squeezing delayed
473      packets.
474    - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes.

476      for sending.
477    - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level
478      frame.
479
4802018-04-23
481
482    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
483      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
484      are two issues:
485        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
486           they can be sent out.
487        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
488           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
489           independent of whether any packets are sent.
490    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some
491      conditions.
492    - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis.

504    - stream: don't ignore errors that may occur on triggered flush
505    - connection: remove obsolete method
506    - engine: indicate connection as tickable if previous call went
507      over threshold

511    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
512
513    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
514    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
515    The user processes connections using the single function
516    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
517    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
518    A connection needs to be processed when:
519
520        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
521        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
522        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
523        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
524           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
525           lsquic library callback.)
526        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
527        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
528           be created.
529        7. An alarm rings.
530        8. Pacer timer expires.
531
532    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
533    priority queues (min heaps):
534
535        1. Tickable Queue; and
536        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
537
538    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
539    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
540    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
541    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
542    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
543    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
544
545    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
546    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
547    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
548
549    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
550    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
551    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
552    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
553    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
554    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
555    is active.
556
557    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
558    been triggered:
559
560        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
561        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
562          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
563          Tickable Queue.
564        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
565          insertion order.

574
575    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
576
577      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
578      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
579      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
580      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
581      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
582
583      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
584      either processed or saved.
585
586    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
587
588      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
589      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
590      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
591
592      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
593      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
594      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
595      inconsistencies.
596
597    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
598
599      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
600      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
601      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
602      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
603      width for everything.
604
605    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
606
607    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
608
609      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
610      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
611      was generated.
612
613    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
614
615    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
616
617    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.
618
619    - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort()
620

624    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_get_engine() to get engine object from
625      connection object.
626    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status.

663    - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs
664
6652017-10-31
666
667    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
668      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
669      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
670      are provided:
671
672        lsquic_stream_write
673        lsquic_stream_writev
674        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
675
676      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
677      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
678      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
679      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
680      lsquic_stream_writef().
681
682    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
683      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
684      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
685      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
686      by the congestion window.
687
688      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
689      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
690      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
691      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
692      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
693      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
694      their packets out.
695
696      The algorithm is as follows:
697
698      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
699        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
700          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
701            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
702             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
703             much as can be sent.)
704        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
705          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
706      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
707        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
708          queue.
709        - If more scheduling is allowed:
710          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
711            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
712        - If more scheduling is allowed:
713          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
714            queue.
715        - If more scheduling is allowed:
716          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
717            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
718
719      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
720      resource usage.
721
722    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
723      from on_new.
724
725    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
726      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
727      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
728      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
729
730    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
731      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
732
733    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
734      inside a union.
