2    - 2.24.3
3    - [BUGFIX] Get rough RTT estimate on receipt of Handshake packet.
4      This prevents BBR on the client from miscalculating pacing rate,

6    - [BUGFIX] Packets sent during handshake are app-limited.
7    - [BUGFIX] Bandwidth sampler starts in app-limited mode.
8    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: free QPACK handler context in stream dtor.

16    - Abort connect if received NEW_CONNECTION_ID but current DCID is
17      zero-length.
18    - Improve log messages

72      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
73      change to the function itself is required.
74
752020-10-08
76    - 2.22.1

128    - [BUGFIX] Check that max value of max_streams_uni and
129      max_streams_bidi TPs is 2^60.
130    - [BUGFIX] Close IETF mini conn immediately if crypto session
131      cannot be initialized.

2282020-07-06
229    - 2.18.0
230    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
231      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
232      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
233      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
234      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
235      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
236      proper context.

297    - Fix some unit tests when extra checks are enabled.
298    - Use ls-hpack 2.2.1.
299    - Turn off unconditional extra checks for IETF clients.
300    - Extra checks: don't verify sent size of hello packets.  Client
301      changes DCID length and this check will fail.

472    - 2.9.0
473    - [API] Drop support for Q039.
474    - Improve ACK-queuing logic.  Send an ACK once in a while if
475      peer keeps on sending non-ack-eliciting packets.

500    - Code cleanup.
501
5022020-01-09

513    - [HTTP3] Verify number of bytes in incoming DATA frames against
514      content-length.
515    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
516      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
517      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security
518      Considerations in the QPACK draft.

526    - [FEATURE] Use occasional packet number gaps to detect optimistic
527      ACK attacks.
528    - [BUGFIX] Q050 client: all packet numbers are in the App PNS.
529    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge multi-range ACK frames, not just single-range
530      ACK frames.
531    - IETF QUIC: use RTT estimate in ack timeout calculation.
532    - IETF handshake: abort conn when unexpected errors occur.
533    - Use PING rather than MAX_DATA frames to elicit ACKs from peer.
534    - Server: enforce 1200 byte Initial minimum packet size.

549      the same.
550    - [BUGFIX] Update size of `a` array in TP struct.  Fixes (benign)
551      GitHub bug #94.

553      consistent performance.
554
5552019-12-11
556    - 2.7.2
557    - [BUGFIX] Send controller: update scheduled bytes when DCID length
558      changes (IETF client).

560      that we use loss chains.
561    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build on Alpine Linux.
562    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build using XCode.

569
5702019-12-05
571    - 2.7.1
572    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
573      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
574      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
575      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
576      outgoing packets that were batched.
577    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
578      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
579      some platforms.
580    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
581    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
582      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
583    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
584    - Several small improvements to the test server.
585
5862019-11-27
587    - 2.7.0
588    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
589      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
590      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
591      sendmsg() to send packets.
592    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
593    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.

619      packets.
620    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
621    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
622      connection.
623    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
624    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
625    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
626
6272019-11-08
628    - 2.6.1
629    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.

649    - [BUGFIX] Use random values in bits 4 and 5 of the first byte of
650      verneg packets (regression introduced in 2.5.0).
651    - [OPTIMIZATION] Don't compile in expensive attq checks by default.
652    - [OPTIMIZATION] http_server: compile regexes only once.

666    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
667    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID
668      values are not unique).
669    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
670      can time out.
671    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
672
6732019-10-21
674    - 2.4.8
675    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.

679    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
680    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.
681    - Fix http_client: check command-line arguments better, prevent crash.

707    - [BUGFIX] Mini conns: don't send any packets after receiving
708      CONNECTION_CLOSE.
709    - [BUGFIX] Client migration: reserve slot for DCID from transport params.
710    - [BUGFIX] Allow max_early_data_size=0 -- early_data might not be there.
711    - [BUGFIX] Use an invalid stream number to reset BPT cache (zero is now a
712      valid stream number).
713    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
714    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.

721    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
722      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
723      some point in the future.
724    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
725    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set

772    - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module.
773
7742019-04-01
775    - 1.20.0
776    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
777
7782019-03-19
779    - 1.19.6
780    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
781      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
782      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
783      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
784      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
785      as an error.
786
7872019-03-05
788    - 1.19.5
789    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
790    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.

792
7932019-02-25
794    - 1.19.4
795    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
796    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
797    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
798
7992019-02-18
800    - 1.19.3
801    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
802      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
803      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
804      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
805      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
806      packet that carries the ACK.
807    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
808    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
809      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
810    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
811    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
812      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
813      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
814
8152019-02-11
816    - 1.19.2
817    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.

823
8242019-02-04
825    - 1.19.0
826    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
827      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
828    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
829    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
830    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.

835
8362019-01-28
837    - 1.18.0
838    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
839    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
840      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
841      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
842      the user.
843    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
844    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
845      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
846      to one already allocated.
847    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.

850    - 1.17.15
851    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
852      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
853    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
854    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
855      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
856      standalone ACK packets.
857    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
858      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
859      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
860      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
861      the same packet.
862    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
863      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
864      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
865      messages.
866
8672019-01-16
868    - 1.17.14
869    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
870      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
871    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
872    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
873      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
874      successful and -a option is given.
875    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
876      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
877      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
878      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
879      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
880    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
881      priority.
882
8832019-01-10
884    - 1.17.12
885    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
886      of a single connection.  See -w option.
887
8882019-01-03
889    - 1.17.11
890    - Fix strict aliasing warning in optimized compilation.
891
8922018-12-27
893    - 1.17.10
894    - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections
895      again.  (See the -n argument.)
896
8972018-12-18
898    - 1.17.9
899    - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4
900
9012018-12-10
902    - 1.17.8
903    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
904
9052018-12-03
906    - 1.17.7
907    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
908      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
909
9102018-11-29
911    - 1.17.6
912    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
913
914      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
915      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
916      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
917      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
918
919    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
920      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
921    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
922      cleanup.
923
9242018-11-16
925    - 1.17.3
926    - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044
927
9282018-10-19
929    - 1.17.2
930    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.
931    - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite
932      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
933
9342018-10-16
935    - 1.17.0
936    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
937      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
938      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
939    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
940    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
941      initialization
942    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
943      DEVEL_MODE
944
9452018-10-03
946    - 1.16.0
947    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams()
948    - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on
949
9502018-09-27
951    - 1.15.0
952    - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses
953    - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs
954
9552018-09-12
956    - 1.14.3
957    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
958    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
959      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
960      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
961      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
962      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
963      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
964      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
965      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
966      this fashion.
967    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
968      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
969      support.)
970
9712018-09-06
972    - 1.14.0
973    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
974      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
975      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
976    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
977    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
978      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
979      than Q043.
980    - Custom header set fixes:
981      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
982        claimed;
983      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
984
9852018-08-27
986
987    - 1.13.0
988    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
989      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
990      headers from the stream.
991

1007    - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of
1008      an already-scheduled packet.
1009    - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in
1010      unexpected ways.
1011

1031
10322018-07-10
1033
1034    - 1.10.1
1035    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1036      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1037      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1038      and processing it all at once.
1039    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
1040      clock_getres(2).
1041    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.
1042
10432018-06-13
1044
1045    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
1046
1047      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1048      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
1049      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
1050      is using the same network address
1051

1082
10832018-05-09
1084

1118    - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes.
1119    - [BUGFIX] connections with blocked scheduled packets are not tickable
1120      for sending.
1121    - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level
1122      frame.
1123
11242018-04-23
1125
1126    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1127      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1128      are two issues:
1129        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1130           they can be sent out.
1131        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1132           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1133           independent of whether any packets are sent.
1134    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some
1135      conditions.
1136    - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis.

1144
1145    - [BUGFIX] Add connection to Tickable Queue on stream write
1146    - cmake: use MSVC variable instead of trying to detect
1147    - engine: improve connection incref/decref logging
1148    - stream: don't ignore errors that may occur on triggered flush
1149    - connection: remove obsolete method
1150    - engine: indicate connection as tickable if previous call went
1151      over threshold

1154
1155    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1156
1157    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1158    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1159    The user processes connections using the single function
1160    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1161    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1162    A connection needs to be processed when:
1163
1164        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1165        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1166        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1167        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1168           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1169           lsquic library callback.)
1170        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1171        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1172           be created.
1173        7. An alarm rings.
1174        8. Pacer timer expires.
1175
1176    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1177    priority queues (min heaps):
1178
1179        1. Tickable Queue; and
1180        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1181
1182    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1183    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1184    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1185    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1186    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1187    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1188
1189    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1190    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1191    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1192
1193    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1194    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1195    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1196    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1197    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1198    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1199    is active.
1200
1201    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1202    been triggered:
1203
1204        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1205        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1206          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1207          Tickable Queue.
1208        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1209          insertion order.
1210
12112018-04-02
1212
1213    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1214
1215    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
1216
12172018-03-09
1218
1219    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1220
1221      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1222      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1223      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1224      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1225      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1226
1227      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1228      either processed or saved.
1229
1230    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1231
1232      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1233      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1234      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1235
1236      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1237      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1238      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1239      inconsistencies.
1240
1241    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1242
1243      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1244      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1245      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1246      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1247      width for everything.
1248
1249    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1250
1251    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1252
1253      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1254      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1255      was generated.
1256
1257    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1258
1259    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1260
1261    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.
1262
1263    - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort()
1264
12652018-02-26
1266    - [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection
1267      object.
1268    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_get_engine() to get engine object from
1269      connection object.
1270    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status.
1271    - [API Change] Add add lsquic_conn_set_ctx().
1272    - [API Change] Add new timestamp format, e.g. 2017-03-21 13:43:46.671345
1273    - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet
1274      arrives.
1275    - [OPTIMIZATION] Do not compile expensive send controller sanity check
1276      by default.
1277    - [OPTIMIZATION] Add fast path to gquic_be_gen_reg_pkt_header.
1278    - [OPTIMIZATION] Only make squeeze function call if necessary.
1279    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up Q039 ACK frame parsing.
1280    - [OPTIMIZATION] Fit most used elements of packet_out into first 64 bytes.
1281    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of scheduled bytes instead of calculating.
1282    - [OPTIMIZATION] Prefetch next unacked packet when processing ACK.
1283    - [OPTIMIZATION] Leverage fact that ACK ranges and unacked list are.
1284      ordered.
1285    - [OPTIMIZATION] Reduce function pointer use for STREAM frame generation
1286    - Fix: reset incoming streams that arrive after we send GOAWAY.

1311    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1312      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1313      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1314      are provided:
1315
1316        lsquic_stream_write
1317        lsquic_stream_writev
1318        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1319
1320      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1321      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1322      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1323      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1324      lsquic_stream_writef().
1325
1326    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1327      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1328      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1329      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1330      by the congestion window.
1331
1332      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1333      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1334      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1335      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1336      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1337      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1338      their packets out.
1339
1340      The algorithm is as follows:
1341
1342      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1343        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1344          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1345            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1346             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1347             much as can be sent.)
1348        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1349          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1350      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1351        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1352          queue.
1353        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1354          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1355            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1356        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1357          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1358            queue.
1359        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1360          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1361            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1362
1363      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1364      resource usage.
1365
1366    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1367      from on_new.
1368
1369    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1370      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1371      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1372      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1373
1374    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1375      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1376
1377    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1378      inside a union.
