12      size.
13    - Add spin bit configuration option es_spin (-o spin=[01]).
14    - Disable spin bit in 1/16 of connections.
15    - Improve logging a bit.
16
172020-01-28
18    - 2.10.0

26    - [API] Drop support for Q039.
27    - Improve ACK-queuing logic.  Send an ACK once in a while if
28      peer keeps on sending non-ack-eliciting packets.

30      the old-style "quic" string.
31    - Send stateless resets if connection could not be promoted.
32    - Schedule MAX_DATA if needed when DATA_BLOCKED is received.

35
362020-01-16
37    - 2.8.9
38    - [BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack 0.11.1

44
452020-01-14
46    - 2.8.8
47    - [BUGFIX] Invalid read when parsing IETF transport parameters
48      (this was benign).
49    - [OPTIMIZATION] Frame bundling when using buffered packets in
50      IETF QUIC: a) flush QPACK decoder stream and b) include ACKs
51      in opportunistic fashion.

53    - Code cleanup.
54
552020-01-09

67      content-length.
68    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
69      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
70      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security
71      Considerations in the QPACK draft.

772019-12-30
78    - 2.8.1
79    - [FEATURE] Use occasional packet number gaps to detect optimistic
80      ACK attacks.
81    - [BUGFIX] Q050 client: all packet numbers are in the App PNS.
82    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge multi-range ACK frames, not just single-range
83      ACK frames.
84    - IETF QUIC: use RTT estimate in ack timeout calculation.

97      logging.
98
992019-12-18
100    - 2.7.3
101    - [DEBUG] Further dedup next advisory tick messages when reason is
102      the same.
103    - [BUGFIX] Update size of `a` array in TP struct.  Fixes (benign)
104      GitHub bug #94.
105    - Use Cubic by default again instead of BBR, as it delivers more
106      consistent performance.
107
1082019-12-11
109    - 2.7.2
110    - [BUGFIX] Send controller: update scheduled bytes when DCID length
111      changes (IETF client).
112    - [BUGFIX] Drop alarm check from sanity test.  It no longer works now
113      that we use loss chains.
114    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build on Alpine Linux.
115    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build using XCode.
116    - Client initial DCID length: use RAND_bytes() instead of rand(3).
117    - Add unit tests for connection min heap.
118    - [DEBUG] Log CID in gQUIC handshake module
119    - [DEBUG] Turn on extra checks for IETF client send controller.
120    - [DEBUG] Dedup next advisory tick messages when reason is IDLE timer.
121    - [DEBUG] QPACK decoder handler: log header error code.
122
1232019-12-05
124    - 2.7.1
125    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
126      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
127      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
128      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
129      outgoing packets that were batched.
130    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
131      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
132      some platforms.
133    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
134    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
135      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
136    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
137    - Several small improvements to the test server.
138
1392019-11-27
140    - 2.7.0
141    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
142      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
143      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
144      sendmsg() to send packets.
145    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
146    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.
147
1482019-11-22
149    - 2.6.7
150    - [FEATURE] Implement the QL extension (offered by default).

156    - 2.6.6
157    - [BUGFIX] Using HTTP/3 to HTTP/1.x converter.
158    - [BUGFIX] Truncate log messages instead of throwing them away.
159
1602019-11-15
161    - 2.6.5
162    - [BUGFIX] High priority buffered packet queue length.
163    - [BUGFIX] Rain time calculation: max_ack_delay is in milliseconds.
164
1652019-11-12
166    - 2.6.3
167    - [BUGFIX] Close DATA frames with empty payload correctly.
168
1692019-11-11
170    - 2.6.2
171    - [BUGFIX] SCID!=ODCID rule applies to Retry packets, not regular
172      packets.
173    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
174    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
175      connection.
176    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
177    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
178    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
179
1802019-11-08
181    - 2.6.1
182    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.
183    - Event log: log sent packet flags.  In particular, this allows one
184      to see whether token was sent.
185    - Don't migrate client if es_allow_migration is false.
186
1872019-11-07

190
1912019-11-07
192    - 2.5.2
193    - [BUGFIX] argument order to gQUIC client constructor.  Regression
194      introduced in 2.5.0.
195    - [BUGFIX] split buffered packet error recovery: destroy the correct
196      packet.
197
1982019-11-04
199    - 2.5.1
200    - [BUGFIX] Fix double-free when emptying a packet number space.
201    - [BUGFIX] http_server: fix md5sum handler: handle EOF correctly.
202    - [BUGFIX] Use random values in bits 4 and 5 of the first byte of
203      verneg packets (regression introduced in 2.5.0).
204    - [OPTIMIZATION] Don't compile in expensive attq checks by default.
205    - [OPTIMIZATION] http_server: compile regexes only once.
206
2072019-10-31
208    - 2.5.0
209    - [API] lsquic_engine_connect() can now be passed QUIC version to use.
210    - [OPTIMIZATION] Queue opportunistic ACKs if there is data to be sent.
211    - [BUGFIX] Don't evict streams from priority iterator if there is
212      only one queue.
213    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Several other optimizations and bug fixes.
214    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.7.
215
2162019-10-24
217    - 2.4.10
218    - [BUGFIX] IETF QUIC server: fix uninitialized variable use.
219    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
220    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID
221      values are not unique).
222    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
223      can time out.
224    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
225
2262019-10-21
227    - 2.4.8
228    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.
229
2302019-10-15
231    - 2.4.7
232    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
233    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.
234    - Fix http_client: check command-line arguments better, prevent crash.
235    - Fix IETF conn: can_write_ack() should only care about APP PNS.
236    - Client: delay stream creation until handshake succeds.
237    - Reset HTTP stream whose write end is closed prematurely.
238    - Fix tickable(): mirror behavior of tick() wrt buffered packets.
239    - Log reason why engine is tickable.
240
2412019-10-11
242    - 2.4.6
243    - Minor code cleanup and logging improvements.
244    - Server and client programs: include library version (e.g. 2.4.6)
245      into `server' and `user-agent' headers.
246
2472019-10-08
248    - 2.4.5
249    - [OPTIMIZATION]: flush encoder stream only when necessary.
250    - [BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.2 for new API -- and for a bug fix.
251    - [BUGFIX] Typo in IETF conn SETTINGS writer.
252    - Use latest BoringSSL.
253
2542019-10-08
255    - 2.4.4
256    - [API] Add lsquic_alpn2ver() to aid parsing Alt-Svc header.
257    - [BUGFIX] NULL dereference when H3 frame header would be split.
258    - [BUGFIX] Do not close fixed-size H3 frame prematurely.
259    - [BUGFIX] Allow PING frames in IETF mini conn.
260    - [BUGFIX] Mini conns: don't send any packets after receiving
261      CONNECTION_CLOSE.
262    - [BUGFIX] Client migration: reserve slot for DCID from transport params.
263    - [BUGFIX] Allow max_early_data_size=0 -- early_data might not be there.
264    - [BUGFIX] Use an invalid stream number to reset BPT cache (zero is now a
265      valid stream number).
266    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
267    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.
268    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data.
269    - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately.
270    - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1.
271
2722019-09-30
273    - 2.4.3
274    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
275      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
276      some point in the future.
277    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
278    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set
279      to 0xFFFFFFFF
280
2812019-09-23
282    - 2.4.2
283    - [BUGFIX] H3 framing: fix zero-byte write when space is available
284    - [BUGFIX] Don't send STREAM frame when incoming unidirectgional stream
285      is closed
286    - [BUGFIX] Cancel all pending writes by stream reset by a GOAWAY
287    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free in IETF full conn
288    - [OPTIMIZATION] Wait for session tickets for two seconds and then drop
289      SSL object and crypto streams.
290
2912019-09-18
292    - 2.4.0
293    - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 23 support
294
2952019-09-13
296    - 2.3.1
297    - [BUGFIX] Fix memory leaks
298    - [BUGFIX] Fix unit tests
299
3002019-09-12
301    - 2.3.0
302    - [FEATURE] BBR congestion control is on by default
303    - [BUGFIX] BBR app-limited logic
304    - [BUGFIX] Fix uninitialized warnings in IETF
305    - [BUGFIX] Update ls-qpack to v0.9.14
306    - [CLEANUP] Code cleanup
307
3082019-09-11
309    - 2.2.0
310    - [FEATURE] Server code is included in the library
311    - [FEATURE] IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 Support (ID-22)
312
3132019-05-13
314    - 1.21.2
315    - [OPTIMIZATION] HPACK: use history to improve compression performance
316
3172019-05-06
318    - 1.21.1
319    - [BUGFIX] If FIN or RST not received, don't delay stream destruction.
320    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up HPACK encoder by using same hash value to
321      search static and dynamic tables.
322
3232019-04-12
324    - 1.21.0
325    - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module.
326
3272019-04-01
328    - 1.20.0
329    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
330
3312019-03-19
332    - 1.19.6
333    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
334      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
335      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
336      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
337      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
338      as an error.
339
3402019-03-05
341    - 1.19.5
342    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
343    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
344    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
345
3462019-02-25
347    - 1.19.4
348    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
349    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
350    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
351
3522019-02-18
353    - 1.19.3
354    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
355      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
356      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
357      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
358      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
359      packet that carries the ACK.
360    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
361    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
362      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
363    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
364    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
365      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
366      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
367
3682019-02-11
369    - 1.19.2
370    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.
371    - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function.
372
3732019-02-04
374    - 1.19.1
375    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
376
3772019-02-04
378    - 1.19.0
379    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
380      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
381    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
382    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
383    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
384    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
385    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
386    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
387    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
388
3892019-01-28
390    - 1.18.0
391    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
392    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
393      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
394      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
395      the user.
396    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
397    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
398      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
399      to one already allocated.
400    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
401
4022019-01-17
403    - 1.17.15
404    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
405      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
406    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
407    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
408      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
409      standalone ACK packets.
410    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
411      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
412      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
413      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
414      the same packet.
415    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
416      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
417      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
418      messages.
419
4202019-01-16
421    - 1.17.14
422    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
423      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
424    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
425    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
426      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
427      successful and -a option is given.
428    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
429      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
430      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
431      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
432      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
433    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
434      priority.

462
4632018-11-29
464    - 1.17.6
465    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
466
467      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
468      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
469      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
470      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
471
472    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are

510    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
511    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
512      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
513      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
514      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
515      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
516      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
517      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
518      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
519      this fashion.
520    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.

529    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
530    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers

532      than Q043.
533    - Custom header set fixes:
534      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is

589      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets

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

683           they can be sent out.
684        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
685           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
686           independent of whether any packets are sent.

707
708    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
709
710    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
711    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
712    The user processes connections using the single function
713    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
714    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
715    A connection needs to be processed when:
716
717        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
718        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
719        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
720        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
721           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
722           lsquic library callback.)
723        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
724        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
725           be created.
726        7. An alarm rings.
727        8. Pacer timer expires.
728
729    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
730    priority queues (min heaps):
731
732        1. Tickable Queue; and
733        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
734
735    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
736    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
737    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
738    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
739    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
740    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
741
742    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
743    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
744    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
745
746    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
747    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
748    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
749    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
750    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
751    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
752    is active.
753
754    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
755    been triggered:
756
757        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
758        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
759          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
760          Tickable Queue.
761        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
762          insertion order.
763
7642018-04-02
765
766    - [FEATURE] Windows support
767
768    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
769
7702018-03-09
771
772    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
773
774      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
775      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
776      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
777      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
778      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
779
780      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
781      either processed or saved.
782
783    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
784
785      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
786      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
787      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
788
789      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
790      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
791      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
792      inconsistencies.
793
794    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
795
796      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
797      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
798      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
799      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
800      width for everything.
801
802    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
803
804    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
805
806      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
807      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
808      was generated.
809
810    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
811
812    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
813
814    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.

822      connection object.
823    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status.
824    - [API Change] Add add lsquic_conn_set_ctx().

826    - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet

831    - [OPTIMIZATION] Only make squeeze function call if necessary.
832    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up Q039 ACK frame parsing.
833    - [OPTIMIZATION] Fit most used elements of packet_out into first 64 bytes.
834    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of scheduled bytes instead of calculating.
835    - [OPTIMIZATION] Prefetch next unacked packet when processing ACK.
836    - [OPTIMIZATION] Leverage fact that ACK ranges and unacked list are.
837      ordered.
838    - [OPTIMIZATION] Reduce function pointer use for STREAM frame generation
839    - Fix: reset incoming streams that arrive after we send GOAWAY.
840    - Fix: delay client on_new_conn() call until connection is fully set up.
841    - Fixes to buffered packets logic: splitting, STREAM frame elision.
842    - Fix: do not dispatch on_write callback if no packets are available.

8582017-10-31
859
860    - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs
861
8622017-10-31
863
864    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
865      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
866      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
867      are provided:
868
869        lsquic_stream_write
870        lsquic_stream_writev
871        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
872
873      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
874      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
875      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
876      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
877      lsquic_stream_writef().
878
879    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
880      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
881      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
882      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
883      by the congestion window.
884
885      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
886      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
887      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
888      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
889      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
890      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
891      their packets out.
892
893      The algorithm is as follows:
894
895      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
896        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
897          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
898            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
899             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
900             much as can be sent.)
901        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
902          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
903      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
904        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
905          queue.
906        - If more scheduling is allowed:
907          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
908            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
909        - If more scheduling is allowed:
910          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
911            queue.
912        - If more scheduling is allowed:
913          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
914            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
915
916      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
917      resource usage.
918
919    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
920      from on_new.
921
922    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
923      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
924      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
925      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
926
927    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
928      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
929
930    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
931      inside a union.

934
935    - Do not send RST_STREAM when stream is closed for reading
936    - Raise maximum header size from 4K to 64K
937    - Check header name and value lengths against maximum imposed by HPACK
938    - Fix NULL dereference in stream flow controller

942    - Hide handshake implementation behind a set of function pointers
943    - Use monotonically increasing clock
944    - Make sure that retx delay is not larger than the max of 60 seconds
