      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
      outgoing packets that were batched.
    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
      some platforms.

    - 1.19.3
    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
      packet that carries the ACK.
    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
      specifying a -p flag on the command line.

    - 1.19.0
    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.

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

    - 1.17.15
    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
      standalone ACK packets.
    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
      the same packet.
    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
      messages.

    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
      successful and -a option is given.
    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
      priority.

    - 1.17.6
    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time

      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.

    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
      this fashion.

        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing

    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed

    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
    The user processes connections using the single function
    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
    A connection needs to be processed when:

        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
           lsquic library callback.)
        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
           be created.
        7. An alarm rings.
        8. Pacer timer expires.

    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
    priority queues (min heaps):

        1. Tickable Queue; and
        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).

    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).

    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
    longer to get their packets scheduled first.

    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
    is active.

    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
    been triggered:

        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
          Tickable Queue.
        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
          insertion order.

    - [FEATURE] Windows support

    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.

2018-03-09

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible

      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.

      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
      either processed or saved.

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.

      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.

      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
      inconsistencies.

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct

      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
      width for everything.

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out

      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
      was generated.

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop

    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed

    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.

    - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs

2017-10-31

    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
      are provided:

        lsquic_stream_write
        lsquic_stream_writev
        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)

      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
      lsquic_stream_writef().

    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
      by the congestion window.

      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
      their packets out.

      The algorithm is as follows:

      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
             much as can be sent.)
        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
          queue.
        - If more scheduling is allowed:
          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
        - If more scheduling is allowed:
          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
            queue.
        - If more scheduling is allowed:
          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue

      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
      resource usage.

    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
      from on_new.

    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.

    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.

    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
      inside a union.
