169      content-length.
170    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
171      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
172      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security
173      Considerations in the QPACK draft.

209
2102019-12-11
211    - 2.7.2
212    - [BUGFIX] Send controller: update scheduled bytes when DCID length
213      changes (IETF client).

2252019-12-05
226    - 2.7.1
227    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
228      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
229      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
230      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
231      outgoing packets that were batched.
232    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
233      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
234      some platforms.
235    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
236    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as

242    - 2.7.0
243    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
244      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
245      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
246      sendmsg() to send packets.
247    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
248    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.

274      packets.
275    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
276    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
277      connection.
278    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
279    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
280    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
281
2822019-11-08
283    - 2.6.1
284    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.
285    - Event log: log sent packet flags.  In particular, this allows one
286      to see whether token was sent.
287    - Don't migrate client if es_allow_migration is false.

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

452    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
453
4542019-02-18
455    - 1.19.3
456    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
457      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
458      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
459      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
460      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
461      packet that carries the ACK.
462    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
463    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
464      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
465    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
466    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
467      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
468      specifying a -p flag on the command line.

478
4792019-02-04
480    - 1.19.0
481    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
482      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
483    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
484    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
485    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.

4912019-01-28
492    - 1.18.0
493    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
494    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
495      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
496      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
497      the user.
498    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
499    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
500      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
501      to one already allocated.
502    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
503
5042019-01-17
505    - 1.17.15
506    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
507      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
508    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
509    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
510      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
511      standalone ACK packets.
512    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
513      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
514      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
515      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
516      the same packet.
517    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
518      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
519      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
520      messages.
521
5222019-01-16
523    - 1.17.14
524    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
525      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
526    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
527    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
528      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
529      successful and -a option is given.
530    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
531      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
532      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
533      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
534      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
535    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
536      priority.

5652018-11-29
566    - 1.17.6
567    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
568
569      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
570      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
571      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
572      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
573
574    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are

612    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
613    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
614      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
615      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
616      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
617      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
618      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
619      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
620      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
621      this fashion.
622    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.

631    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
632    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
633      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
634      than Q043.
635    - Custom header set fixes:
636      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is

693      and processing it all at once.
694    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for

785           they can be sent out.
786        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing

788           independent of whether any packets are sent.

809
810    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
811
812    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
813    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
814    The user processes connections using the single function
815    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
816    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
817    A connection needs to be processed when:
818
819        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
820        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
821        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
822        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
823           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
824           lsquic library callback.)
825        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
826        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
827           be created.
828        7. An alarm rings.
829        8. Pacer timer expires.
830
831    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
832    priority queues (min heaps):
833
834        1. Tickable Queue; and
835        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
836
837    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
838    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
839    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
840    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
841    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
842    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
843
844    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
845    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
846    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
847
848    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
849    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
850    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
851    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
852    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
853    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
854    is active.
855
856    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
857    been triggered:
858
859        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
860        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
861          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
862          Tickable Queue.
863        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
864          insertion order.

8722018-03-09
873
874    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
875
876      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
877      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
878      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
879      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
880      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
881
882      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
883      either processed or saved.
884
885    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
886
887      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
888      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
889      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
890
891      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
892      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
893      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
894      inconsistencies.
895
896    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
897
898      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
899      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
900      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
901      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
902      width for everything.
903
904    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
905
906    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
907
908      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
909      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
910      was generated.

9642017-10-31
965
966    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
967      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
968      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
969      are provided:
970
971        lsquic_stream_write
972        lsquic_stream_writev
973        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
974
975      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
976      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
977      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
978      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
979      lsquic_stream_writef().
980
981    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
982      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
983      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
984      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
985      by the congestion window.
986
987      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
988      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
989      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
990      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
991      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
992      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
993      their packets out.
994
995      The algorithm is as follows:
996
997      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
998        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
999          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1000            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1001             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1002             much as can be sent.)
1003        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1004          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1005      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1006        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1007          queue.
1008        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1009          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1010            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1011        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1012          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1013            queue.
1014        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1015          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1016            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1017
1018      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1019      resource usage.
1020
1021    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1022      from on_new.
1023
1024    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1025      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1026      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1027      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1028
1029    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1030      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1031
1032    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1033      inside a union.
