2    - 2.24.4
3    - [BUGFIX] Check whether ECN counts are set in ACK struct before using
4      them.

83      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
84      change to the function itself is required.
85
862020-10-08
87    - 2.22.1

140      max_streams_bidi TPs is 2^60.
141    - [BUGFIX] Close IETF mini conn immediately if crypto session
142      cannot be initialized.

2392020-07-06
240    - 2.18.0
241    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
242      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
243      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
244      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
245      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
246      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
247      proper context.

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

512
5132020-01-09

524    - [HTTP3] Verify number of bytes in incoming DATA frames against
525      content-length.
526    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
527      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
528      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security

580
5812019-12-05
582    - 2.7.1
583    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
584      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
585      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
586      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
587      outgoing packets that were batched.
588    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
589      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
590      some platforms.
591    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
592    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
593      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
594    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
595    - Several small improvements to the test server.
596

598    - 2.7.0
599    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
600      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
601      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
602      sendmsg() to send packets.
603    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
604    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.

630      packets.
631    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
632    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
633      connection.
634    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
635    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
636    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
637
6382019-11-08
639    - 2.6.1
640    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.

660    - [BUGFIX] Use random values in bits 4 and 5 of the first byte of
661      verneg packets (regression introduced in 2.5.0).
662    - [OPTIMIZATION] Don't compile in expensive attq checks by default.

677    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
678    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID

680    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
681      can time out.
682    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
683
6842019-10-21
685    - 2.4.8
686    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.

788
7892019-03-19
790    - 1.19.6
791    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
792      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
793      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
794      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
795      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
796      as an error.
797
7982019-03-05

809
8102019-02-18
811    - 1.19.3
812    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
813      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
814      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
815      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
816      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
817      packet that carries the ACK.
818    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
819    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
820      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.

822    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
823      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
824      specifying a -p flag on the command line.

851      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
852      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
853      the user.
854    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
855    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
856      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
857      to one already allocated.
858    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
859
8602019-01-17
861    - 1.17.15
862    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
863      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
864    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
865    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
866      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
867      standalone ACK packets.
868    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
869      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
870      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
871      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
872      the same packet.
873    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
874      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
875      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
876      messages.
877
8782019-01-16
879    - 1.17.14
880    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
881      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
882    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
883    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
884      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
885      successful and -a option is given.
886    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
887      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
888      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
889      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
890      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
891    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
892      priority.
893
8942019-01-10
895    - 1.17.12
896    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
897      of a single connection.  See -w option.

914    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
915
9162018-12-03
917    - 1.17.7
918    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
919      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
920
9212018-11-29
922    - 1.17.6
923    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
924
925      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
926      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
927      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
928      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
929
930    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
931      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
932    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
933      cleanup.
934
9352018-11-16
936    - 1.17.3
937    - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044

940    - 1.17.2
941    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.

943      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
944
9452018-10-16
946    - 1.17.0
947    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
948      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
949      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
950    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
951    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
952      initialization
953    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
954      DEVEL_MODE

960
9612018-09-27
962    - 1.15.0
963    - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses

965
9662018-09-12
967    - 1.14.3
968    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
969    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
970      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
971      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
972      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
973      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
974      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
975      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
976      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
977      this fashion.
978    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
979      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
980      support.)
981
9822018-09-06
983    - 1.14.0
984    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
985      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
986      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
987    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
988    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
989      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
990      than Q043.
991    - Custom header set fixes:
992      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
993        claimed;
994      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
995
9962018-08-27
997
998    - 1.13.0
999    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set

1001      headers from the stream.

1044
1045    - 1.10.1
1046    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1047      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1048      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1049      and processing it all at once.
1050    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for

1057
1058      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1059      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
1060      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection

1136
1137    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1138      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1139      are two issues:
1140        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1141           they can be sent out.
1142        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1143           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1144           independent of whether any packets are sent.
1145    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some

11642018-04-09
1165
1166    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1167
1168    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1169    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1170    The user processes connections using the single function
1171    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1172    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1173    A connection needs to be processed when:
1174
1175        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1176        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1177        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1178        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1179           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1180           lsquic library callback.)
1181        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1182        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1183           be created.
1184        7. An alarm rings.
1185        8. Pacer timer expires.
1186
1187    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1188    priority queues (min heaps):
1189
1190        1. Tickable Queue; and
1191        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1192
1193    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1194    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1195    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1196    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1197    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1198    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1199
1200    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1201    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1202    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1203
1204    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1205    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1206    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1207    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1208    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1209    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1210    is active.
1211
1212    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1213    been triggered:
1214
1215        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1216        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1217          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1218          Tickable Queue.
1219        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1220          insertion order.
1221
12222018-04-02
1223
1224    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1225
1226    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
1227
12282018-03-09
1229
1230    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1231
1232      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1233      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1234      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1235      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1236      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1237
1238      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1239      either processed or saved.
1240
1241    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1242
1243      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1244      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1245      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1246
1247      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1248      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1249      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1250      inconsistencies.
1251
1252    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1253
1254      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1255      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1256      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1257      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1258      width for everything.
1259
1260    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1261
1262    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1263
1264      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1265      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1266      was generated.
1267
1268    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1269
1270    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1271
1272    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.
1273
1274    - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort()
1275
12762018-02-26
1277    - [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection

1279    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_get_engine() to get engine object from
1280      connection object.
1281    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status.
1282    - [API Change] Add add lsquic_conn_set_ctx().
1283    - [API Change] Add new timestamp format, e.g. 2017-03-21 13:43:46.671345
1284    - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet
1285      arrives.
1286    - [OPTIMIZATION] Do not compile expensive send controller sanity check

1319
13202017-10-31
1321
1322    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1323      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1324      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1325      are provided:
1326
1327        lsquic_stream_write
1328        lsquic_stream_writev
1329        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1330
1331      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1332      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1333      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1334      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1335      lsquic_stream_writef().
1336
1337    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1338      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1339      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1340      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1341      by the congestion window.
1342
1343      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1344      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1345      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1346      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1347      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1348      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1349      their packets out.
1350
1351      The algorithm is as follows:
1352
1353      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1354        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1355          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1356            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1357             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1358             much as can be sent.)
1359        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1360          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1361      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1362        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1363          queue.
1364        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1365          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1366            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1367        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1368          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1369            queue.
1370        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1371          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1372            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1373
1374      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1375      resource usage.
1376
1377    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1378      from on_new.
1379
1380    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1381      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1382      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1383      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1384
1385    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1386      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1387
1388    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1389      inside a union.
