2    - 2.25.0
3    - [API, FEATURE] Add es_delay_onclose option to delay on_close until all
4      data is ACKed.  Use new function lsquic_stream_has_unacked_data() to
5      learn whether peer acknowledged all data written to stream.
6    - [API] Add optional on_reset() stream callback to get notifications
7      when RESET or STOP_SENDING frames are received.
8    - [BUGFIX] On STOP_SENDING, make conn tickable is _writeable_, not
9      readable.

97    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
98      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
99      change to the function itself is required.
100
1012020-10-08
102    - 2.22.1
103    - [BUGFIX] Function that checks validity of handshake packets.

153      DCID change.
154    - [BUGFIX] Check that max value of max_streams_uni and
155      max_streams_bidi TPs is 2^60.
156    - [BUGFIX] Close IETF mini conn immediately if crypto session
157      cannot be initialized.

2542020-07-06
255    - 2.18.0
256    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
257      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
258      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
259      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
260      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
261      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
262      proper context.

323    - Fix some unit tests when extra checks are enabled.
324    - Use ls-hpack 2.2.1.
325    - Turn off unconditional extra checks for IETF clients.
326    - Extra checks: don't verify sent size of hello packets.  Client
327      changes DCID length and this check will fail.

526    - Code cleanup.
527
5282020-01-09

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

595
5962019-12-05
597    - 2.7.1
598    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
599      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
600      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
601      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
602      outgoing packets that were batched.
603    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
604      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
605      some platforms.
606    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
607    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
608      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
609    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
610    - Several small improvements to the test server.
611
6122019-11-27
613    - 2.7.0
614    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
615      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
616      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
617      sendmsg() to send packets.
618    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.

645      packets.
646    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
647    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
648      connection.
649    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
650    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
651    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
652
6532019-11-08
654    - 2.6.1
655    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.

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

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

695    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
696      can time out.
697    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
698
6992019-10-21
700    - 2.4.8

749      some point in the future.
750    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
751    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set

803
8042019-03-19
805    - 1.19.6
806    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
807      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
808      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
809      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
810      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
811      as an error.
812
8132019-03-05

824
8252019-02-18
826    - 1.19.3
827    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
828      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
829      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
830      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
831      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
832      packet that carries the ACK.
833    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
834    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
835      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.

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

853      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
854    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
855    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
856    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
857    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
858    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
859    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
860    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
861
8622019-01-28
863    - 1.18.0
864    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
865    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
866      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
867      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
868      the user.
869    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
870    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
871      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
872      to one already allocated.
873    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
874
8752019-01-17
876    - 1.17.15
877    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
878      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
879    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
880    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
881      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
882      standalone ACK packets.
883    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
884      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
885      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
886      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
887      the same packet.
888    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
889      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
890      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
891      messages.
892
8932019-01-16
894    - 1.17.14
895    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
896      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
897    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
898    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
899      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
900      successful and -a option is given.
901    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
902      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
903      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
904      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
905      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
906    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
907      priority.
908
9092019-01-10
910    - 1.17.12
911    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context

929    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
930
9312018-12-03
932    - 1.17.7
933    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
934      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
935
9362018-11-29
937    - 1.17.6
938    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
939
940      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
941      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
942      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
943      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
944
945    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
946      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
947    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
948      cleanup.

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

9812018-09-12
982    - 1.14.3
983    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
984    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
985      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
986      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
987      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
988      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
989      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
990      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
991      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
992      this fashion.
993    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
994      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
995      support.)
996
9972018-09-06
998    - 1.14.0
999    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1000      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1001      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1002    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1003    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1004      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1005      than Q043.
1006    - Custom header set fixes:
1007      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1008        claimed;
1009      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1010
10112018-08-27
1012
1013    - 1.13.0
1014    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set

1060    - 1.10.1
1061    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1062      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1063      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1064      and processing it all at once.
1065    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
1066      clock_getres(2).

1073      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1074      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by

1152    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1153      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1154      are two issues:
1155        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1156           they can be sent out.
1157        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1158           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1159           independent of whether any packets are sent.

1180
1181    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1182
1183    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1184    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1185    The user processes connections using the single function
1186    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1187    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1188    A connection needs to be processed when:
1189
1190        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1191        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1192        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1193        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1194           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1195           lsquic library callback.)
1196        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1197        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1198           be created.
1199        7. An alarm rings.
1200        8. Pacer timer expires.
1201
1202    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1203    priority queues (min heaps):
1204
1205        1. Tickable Queue; and
1206        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1207
1208    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1209    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1210    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1211    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1212    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1213    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1214
1215    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1216    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1217    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1218
1219    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1220    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1221    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1222    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1223    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1224    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1225    is active.
1226
1227    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1228    been triggered:
1229
1230        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1231        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1232          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1233          Tickable Queue.
1234        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1235          insertion order.
1236
12372018-04-02
1238
1239    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1240
1241    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
1242
12432018-03-09
1244
1245    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1246
1247      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1248      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1249      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1250      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1251      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1252
1253      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1254      either processed or saved.
1255
1256    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1257
1258      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1259      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1260      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1261
1262      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1263      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1264      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1265      inconsistencies.
1266
1267    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1268
1269      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1270      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1271      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1272      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1273      width for everything.
1274
1275    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1276
1277    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1278
1279      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1280      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1281      was generated.
1282
1283    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1284
1285    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1286
1287    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.
1288
1289    - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort()
1290

1336
1337    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1338      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1339      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1340      are provided:
1341
1342        lsquic_stream_write
1343        lsquic_stream_writev
1344        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1345
1346      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1347      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1348      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1349      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1350      lsquic_stream_writef().
1351
1352    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1353      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1354      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1355      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1356      by the congestion window.
1357
1358      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1359      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1360      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1361      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1362      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1363      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1364      their packets out.
1365
1366      The algorithm is as follows:
1367
1368      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1369        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1370          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1371            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1372             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1373             much as can be sent.)
1374        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1375          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1376      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1377        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1378          queue.
1379        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1380          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1381            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1382        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1383          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1384            queue.
1385        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1386          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1387            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1388
1389      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1390      resource usage.
1391
1392    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1393      from on_new.
1394
1395    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1396      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1397      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1398      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1399
1400    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1401      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1402
1403    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1404      inside a union.
