125    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
126      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
127      change to the function itself is required.
128
1292020-10-08
130    - 2.22.1
131    - [BUGFIX] Function that checks validity of handshake packets.

2822020-07-06
283    - 2.18.0
284    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
285      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
286      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
287      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
288      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
289      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
290      proper context.

351    - Fix some unit tests when extra checks are enabled.
352    - Use ls-hpack 2.2.1.
353    - Turn off unconditional extra checks for IETF clients.

568      content-length.
569    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
570      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client

6242019-12-05
625    - 2.7.1
626    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
627      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
628      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
629      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
630      outgoing packets that were batched.
631    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
632      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
633      some platforms.
634    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
635    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as

643      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
644      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
645      sendmsg() to send packets.
646    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.

674    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
675    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
676      connection.
677    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
678    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
679    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.

835      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
836      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
837      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
838      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
839      as an error.

855    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
856      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
857      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
858      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
859      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
860      packet that carries the ACK.
861    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
862    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
863      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
864    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
865    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
866      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
867      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
868
8692019-02-11
870    - 1.19.2
871    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.
872    - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function.
873
8742019-02-04
875    - 1.19.1
876    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
877
8782019-02-04
879    - 1.19.0
880    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
881      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
882    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
883    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
884    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
885    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
886    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
887    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
888    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
889
8902019-01-28
891    - 1.18.0
892    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
893    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
894      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
895      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
896      the user.
897    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
898    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
899      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
900      to one already allocated.
901    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
902
9032019-01-17
904    - 1.17.15
905    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
906      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
907    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
908    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
909      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
910      standalone ACK packets.
911    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
912      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
913      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
914      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
915      the same packet.
916    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
917      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
918      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
919      messages.
920
9212019-01-16
922    - 1.17.14
923    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
924      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
925    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
926    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
927      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
928      successful and -a option is given.
929    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
930      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
931      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
932      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
933      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
934    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
935      priority.
936
9372019-01-10
938    - 1.17.12
939    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
940      of a single connection.  See -w option.

947    - 1.17.10
948    - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections
949      again.  (See the -n argument.)

957    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
958
9592018-12-03
960    - 1.17.7
961    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
962      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
963
9642018-11-29
965    - 1.17.6
966    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
967
968      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
969      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
970      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
971      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
972
973    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
974      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
975    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
976      cleanup.

983    - 1.17.2
984    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.
985    - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite
986      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
987
9882018-10-16
989    - 1.17.0
990    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
991      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
992      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
993    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
994    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
995      initialization
996    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
997      DEVEL_MODE

1008
10092018-09-12
1010    - 1.14.3
1011    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
1012    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
1013      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
1014      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
1015      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
1016      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
1017      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
1018      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
1019      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
1020      this fashion.
1021    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
1022      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
1023      support.)
1024
10252018-09-06
1026    - 1.14.0
1027    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1028      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1029      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1030    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1031    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1032      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1033      than Q043.
1034    - Custom header set fixes:
1035      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1036        claimed;
1037      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1038
10392018-08-27
1040
1041    - 1.13.0
1042    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
1043      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
1044      headers from the stream.

1087
1088    - 1.10.1
1089    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1090      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1091      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1092      and processing it all at once.
1093    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
1094      clock_getres(2).
1095    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.

10972018-06-13
1098
1099    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
1100
1101      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1102      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
1103      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
1104      is using the same network address

1180    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1181      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1182      are two issues:
1183        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1184           they can be sent out.
1185        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1186           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1187           independent of whether any packets are sent.
1188    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some

1208
1209    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1210
1211    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1212    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1213    The user processes connections using the single function
1214    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1215    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1216    A connection needs to be processed when:
1217
1218        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1219        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1220        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1221        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1222           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1223           lsquic library callback.)
1224        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1225        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1226           be created.
1227        7. An alarm rings.
1228        8. Pacer timer expires.
1229
1230    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1231    priority queues (min heaps):
1232
1233        1. Tickable Queue; and
1234        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1235
1236    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1237    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1238    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1239    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1240    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1241    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1242
1243    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1244    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1245    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1246
1247    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1248    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1249    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1250    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1251    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1252    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1253    is active.
1254
1255    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1256    been triggered:
1257
1258        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1259        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1260          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1261          Tickable Queue.
1262        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1263          insertion order.
1264
12652018-04-02
1266
1267    - [FEATURE] Windows support

1270
12712018-03-09
1272
1273    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1274
1275      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1276      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1277      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1278      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1279      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1280
1281      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1282      either processed or saved.
1283
1284    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1285
1286      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1287      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1288      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.

1290      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1291      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1292      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1293      inconsistencies.

1295    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1296
1297      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1298      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1299      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1300      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1301      width for everything.

1362
13632017-10-31
1364
1365    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1366      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1367      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1368      are provided:
1369
1370        lsquic_stream_write
1371        lsquic_stream_writev
1372        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1373
1374      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1375      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1376      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1377      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1378      lsquic_stream_writef().
1379
1380    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1381      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1382      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1383      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1384      by the congestion window.
1385
1386      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1387      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1388      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1389      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1390      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1391      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1392      their packets out.
1393
1394      The algorithm is as follows:
1395
1396      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1397        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1398          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1399            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1400             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1401             much as can be sent.)
1402        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1403          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1404      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1405        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1406          queue.
1407        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1408          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1409            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1410        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1411          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1412            queue.
1413        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1414          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1415            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1416
1417      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1418      resource usage.
1419
1420    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1421      from on_new.
1422
1423    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1424      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1425      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1426      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1427
1428    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1429      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1430
1431    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1432      inside a union.
