109    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
110      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
111      change to the function itself is required.
112
1132020-10-08
114    - 2.22.1
115    - [BUGFIX] Function that checks validity of handshake packets.

268    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
269      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
270      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
271      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
272      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
273      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
274      proper context.

552      content-length.
553    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
554      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
555      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security

607
6082019-12-05
609    - 2.7.1
610    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
611      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
612      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
613      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
614      outgoing packets that were batched.
615    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
616      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
617      some platforms.
618    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
619    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
620      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
621    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
622    - Several small improvements to the test server.
623

625    - 2.7.0
626    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
627      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
628      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
629      sendmsg() to send packets.
630    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.

657      packets.
658    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
659    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
660      connection.
661    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
662    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
663    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
664
6652019-11-08
666    - 2.6.1
667    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.

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

704    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
705    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID
706      values are not unique).
707    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
708      can time out.
709    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
710
7112019-10-21
712    - 2.4.8
713    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.

717    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
718    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.

760      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
761      some point in the future.
762    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
763    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set

815
8162019-03-19
817    - 1.19.6
818    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
819      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
820      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
821      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
822      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
823      as an error.
824
8252019-03-05

836
8372019-02-18
838    - 1.19.3
839    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
840      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
841      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
842      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
843      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
844      packet that carries the ACK.
845    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
846    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
847      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
848    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
849    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
850      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
851      specifying a -p flag on the command line.

855    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.
856    - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function.

860    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
861
8622019-02-04
863    - 1.19.0
864    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
865      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
866    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
867    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
868    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
869    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
870    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
871    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
872    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
873
8742019-01-28
875    - 1.18.0
876    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
877    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
878      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
879      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
880      the user.
881    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
882    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
883      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
884      to one already allocated.
885    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
886
8872019-01-17
888    - 1.17.15
889    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
890      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
891    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
892    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
893      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
894      standalone ACK packets.
895    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
896      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
897      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
898      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
899      the same packet.
900    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
901      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
902      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
903      messages.
904
9052019-01-16
906    - 1.17.14
907    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
908      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
909    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
910    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
911      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
912      successful and -a option is given.
913    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
914      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
915      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
916      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
917      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
918    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
919      priority.
920
9212019-01-10
922    - 1.17.12

944    - 1.17.7
945    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
946      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
947
9482018-11-29
949    - 1.17.6
950    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
951
952      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
953      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
954      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
955      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
956
957    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
958      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
959    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
960      cleanup.

973    - 1.17.0
974    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:

976      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
977    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
978    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless

992
9932018-09-12
994    - 1.14.3
995    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
996    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
997      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
998      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
999      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
1000      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
1001      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
1002      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
1003      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
1004      this fashion.
1005    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
1006      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
1007      support.)

10092018-09-06
1010    - 1.14.0
1011    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1012      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1013      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1014    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1015    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1016      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1017      than Q043.
1018    - Custom header set fixes:
1019      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1020        claimed;
1021      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1022
10232018-08-27
1024
1025    - 1.13.0
1026    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
1027      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
1028      headers from the stream.

1071
1072    - 1.10.1
1073    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1074      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1075      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1076      and processing it all at once.
1077    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
1078      clock_getres(2).
1079    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.

10812018-06-13
1082
1083    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
1084
1085      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1086      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
1087      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
1088      is using the same network address

11622018-04-23
1163
1164    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1165      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1166      are two issues:
1167        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1168           they can be sent out.
1169        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1170           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1171           independent of whether any packets are sent.
1172    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some

11912018-04-09
1192
1193    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1194
1195    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1196    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1197    The user processes connections using the single function
1198    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1199    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1200    A connection needs to be processed when:
1201
1202        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1203        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1204        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1205        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1206           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1207           lsquic library callback.)
1208        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1209        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1210           be created.
1211        7. An alarm rings.
1212        8. Pacer timer expires.
1213
1214    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1215    priority queues (min heaps):
1216
1217        1. Tickable Queue; and
1218        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1219
1220    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1221    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1222    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1223    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1224    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1225    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1226
1227    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1228    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1229    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1230
1231    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1232    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1233    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1234    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1235    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1236    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1237    is active.
1238
1239    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1240    been triggered:
1241
1242        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1243        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1244          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1245          Tickable Queue.
1246        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1247          insertion order.
1248
12492018-04-02
1250
1251    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1252
1253    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
1254
12552018-03-09
1256
1257    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1258
1259      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1260      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1261      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1262      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1263      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1264
1265      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1266      either processed or saved.
1267
1268    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1269
1270      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1271      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1272      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1273
1274      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1275      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1276      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1277      inconsistencies.
1278
1279    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1280
1281      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1282      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1283      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1284      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1285      width for everything.
1286
1287    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1288
1289    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1290
1291      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1292      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame

1349    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1350      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1351      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1352      are provided:
1353
1354        lsquic_stream_write
1355        lsquic_stream_writev
1356        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1357
1358      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1359      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1360      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1361      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1362      lsquic_stream_writef().
1363
1364    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1365      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1366      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1367      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1368      by the congestion window.
1369
1370      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1371      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1372      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1373      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1374      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1375      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1376      their packets out.
1377
1378      The algorithm is as follows:
1379
1380      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1381        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1382          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1383            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1384             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1385             much as can be sent.)
1386        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1387          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1388      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1389        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1390          queue.
1391        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1392          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1393            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1394        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1395          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1396            queue.
1397        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1398          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1399            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1400
1401      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1402      resource usage.
1403
1404    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1405      from on_new.
1406
1407    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1408      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1409      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1410      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1411
1412    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1413      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1414
1415    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1416      inside a union.
