CHANGELOG revision 936463fe
12019-12-05 2 - 2.7.1 3 - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send. 4 ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access 5 to all outgoing packets. This change wraps a few IETF full connection 6 methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all 7 outgoing packets that were batched. 8 - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them. 9 This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on 10 some platforms. 11 - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes. 12 - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as 13 QPACK releases the reference in that case. 14 - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning. 15 - Several small improvements to the test server. 16 172019-11-27 18 - 2.7.0 19 - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out() 20 fails with errno != EAGAIN. The API change is that errno is now 21 examined. Make sure to set it if using something other than 22 sendmsg() to send packets. 23 - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn. 24 - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable. 25 262019-11-22 27 - 2.6.7 28 - [FEATURE] Implement the QL extension (offered by default). 29 - [BUGFIX] Abort when encountering unexpected HTTP/3 frames. 30 - [BUGFIX] Acknowledge (QPACK) HTTP/3 trailers correctly. 31 - [DEBUG] Turn on debug message for next advisory tick. 32 332019-11-20 34 - 2.6.6 35 - [BUGFIX] Using HTTP/3 to HTTP/1.x converter. 36 - [BUGFIX] Truncate log messages instead of throwing them away. 37 382019-11-15 39 - 2.6.5 40 - [BUGFIX] High priority buffered packet queue length. 41 - [BUGFIX] Rain time calculation: max_ack_delay is in milliseconds. 42 432019-11-12 44 - 2.6.3 45 - [BUGFIX] Close DATA frames with empty payload correctly. 46 472019-11-11 48 - 2.6.2 49 - [BUGFIX] SCID!=ODCID rule applies to Retry packets, not regular 50 packets. 51 - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets. 52 - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF 53 connection. 54 - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens. 55 - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code. 56 - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement. 57 582019-11-08 59 - 2.6.1 60 - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets. 61 - Event log: log sent packet flags. In particular, this allows one 62 to see whether token was sent. 63 - Don't migrate client if es_allow_migration is false. 64 652019-11-07 66 - 2.6.0 67 - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 24 support 68 692019-11-07 70 - 2.5.2 71 - [BUGFIX] argument order to gQUIC client constructor. Regression 72 introduced in 2.5.0. 73 - [BUGFIX] split buffered packet error recovery: destroy the correct 74 packet. 75 762019-11-04 77 - 2.5.1 78 - [BUGFIX] Fix double-free when emptying a packet number space. 79 - [BUGFIX] http_server: fix md5sum handler: handle EOF correctly. 80 - [BUGFIX] Use random values in bits 4 and 5 of the first byte of 81 verneg packets (regression introduced in 2.5.0). 82 - [OPTIMIZATION] Don't compile in expensive attq checks by default. 83 - [OPTIMIZATION] http_server: compile regexes only once. 84 852019-10-31 86 - 2.5.0 87 - [API] lsquic_engine_connect() can now be passed QUIC version to use. 88 - [OPTIMIZATION] Queue opportunistic ACKs if there is data to be sent. 89 - [BUGFIX] Don't evict streams from priority iterator if there is 90 only one queue. 91 - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Several other optimizations and bug fixes. 92 - Use ls-qpack v0.10.7. 93 942019-10-24 95 - 2.4.10 96 - [BUGFIX] IETF QUIC server: fix uninitialized variable use. 97 - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object. 98 - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID 99 values are not unique). 100 - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it 101 can time out. 102 - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings. 103 1042019-10-21 105 - 2.4.8 106 - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5. 107 1082019-10-15 109 - 2.4.7 110 - Add echo client and server to the distibution. 111 - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution. 112 - Fix http_client: check command-line arguments better, prevent crash. 113 - Fix IETF conn: can_write_ack() should only care about APP PNS. 114 - Client: delay stream creation until handshake succeds. 115 - Reset HTTP stream whose write end is closed prematurely. 116 - Fix tickable(): mirror behavior of tick() wrt buffered packets. 117 - Log reason why engine is tickable. 118 1192019-10-11 120 - 2.4.6 121 - Minor code cleanup and logging improvements. 122 - Server and client programs: include library version (e.g. 2.4.6) 123 into `server' and `user-agent' headers. 124 1252019-10-08 126 - 2.4.5 127 - [OPTIMIZATION]: flush encoder stream only when necessary. 128 - [BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.2 for new API -- and for a bug fix. 129 - [BUGFIX] Typo in IETF conn SETTINGS writer. 130 - Use latest BoringSSL. 131 1322019-10-08 133 - 2.4.4 134 - [API] Add lsquic_alpn2ver() to aid parsing Alt-Svc header. 135 - [BUGFIX] NULL dereference when H3 frame header would be split. 136 - [BUGFIX] Do not close fixed-size H3 frame prematurely. 137 - [BUGFIX] Allow PING frames in IETF mini conn. 138 - [BUGFIX] Mini conns: don't send any packets after receiving 139 CONNECTION_CLOSE. 140 - [BUGFIX] Client migration: reserve slot for DCID from transport params. 141 - [BUGFIX] Allow max_early_data_size=0 -- early_data might not be there. 142 - [BUGFIX] Use an invalid stream number to reset BPT cache (zero is now a 143 valid stream number). 144 - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected. 145 - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets. 146 - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data. 147 - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately. 148 - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1. 149 1502019-09-30 151 - 2.4.3 152 - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header. 153 For example, h3-Q043. Chrome will switch to using this format at 154 some point in the future. 155 - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param 156 - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set 157 to 0xFFFFFFFF 158 1592019-09-23 160 - 2.4.2 161 - [BUGFIX] H3 framing: fix zero-byte write when space is available 162 - [BUGFIX] Don't send STREAM frame when incoming unidirectgional stream 163 is closed 164 - [BUGFIX] Cancel all pending writes by stream reset by a GOAWAY 165 - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free in IETF full conn 166 - [OPTIMIZATION] Wait for session tickets for two seconds and then drop 167 SSL object and crypto streams. 168 1692019-09-18 170 - 2.4.0 171 - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 23 support 172 1732019-09-13 174 - 2.3.1 175 - [BUGFIX] Fix memory leaks 176 - [BUGFIX] Fix unit tests 177 1782019-09-12 179 - 2.3.0 180 - [FEATURE] BBR congestion control is on by default 181 - [BUGFIX] BBR app-limited logic 182 - [BUGFIX] Fix uninitialized warnings in IETF 183 - [BUGFIX] Update ls-qpack to v0.9.14 184 - [CLEANUP] Code cleanup 185 1862019-09-11 187 - 2.2.0 188 - [FEATURE] Server code is included in the library 189 - [FEATURE] IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 Support (ID-22) 190 1912019-05-13 192 - 1.21.2 193 - [OPTIMIZATION] HPACK: use history to improve compression performance 194 1952019-05-06 196 - 1.21.1 197 - [BUGFIX] If FIN or RST not received, don't delay stream destruction. 198 - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up HPACK encoder by using same hash value to 199 search static and dynamic tables. 200 2012019-04-12 202 - 1.21.0 203 - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module. 204 2052019-04-01 206 - 1.20.0 207 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046. 208 2092019-03-19 210 - 1.19.6 211 - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we 212 send. ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization 213 introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later. 214 In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium- 215 based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value 216 as an error. 217 2182019-03-05 219 - 1.19.5 220 - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index. 221 - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert. 222 - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP"). 223 2242019-02-25 225 - 1.19.4 226 - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob. 227 - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed. 228 - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level. 229 2302019-02-18 231 - 1.19.3 232 - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes. Six-byte 233 packet number encoding does not exist in Q044. This fixes a 234 regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain 235 ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting 236 the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered 237 packet that carries the ACK. 238 - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs. 239 - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line. 240 Use -o handshake_to=timeout. 241 - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors. 242 - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed 243 without issuing any requests. This can be done by simply not 244 specifying a -p flag on the command line. 245 2462019-02-11 247 - 1.19.2 248 - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info. 249 - [BUGFIX] Version checking in zero_rtt deserialize function. 250 2512019-02-04 252 - 1.19.1 253 - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build. 254 2552019-02-04 256 - 1.19.0 257 - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support. Add function to export 0-RTT 258 information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call. 259 - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support. 260 - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build. 261 - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary. 262 - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames. 263 - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided. 264 - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails. 265 - cmake: simplify build configuration. 266 2672019-01-28 268 - 1.18.0 269 - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings. 270 - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity. Since the change on 271 2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick 272 time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by 273 the user. 274 - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done. 275 - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK. Even 276 if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write 277 to one already allocated. 278 - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets. 279 2802019-01-17 281 - 1.17.15 282 - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback 283 is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode. 284 - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created. 285 - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first 286 buffered packet if an ACK is queued. This reduces the number of 287 standalone ACK packets. 288 - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same 289 stream into an outgoing packet. This change minimizes the number of 290 buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by 291 virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in 292 the same packet. 293 - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets. This 294 causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue, 295 thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP 296 messages. 297 2982019-01-16 299 - 1.17.14 300 - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB, 301 time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth. See -t flag. 302 - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time. 303 - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request. 304 Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is 305 successful and -a option is given. 306 - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading. If a 307 stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns, 308 close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick. 309 If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be 310 processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one. 311 - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest 312 priority. 313 3142019-01-10 315 - 1.17.12 316 - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context 317 of a single connection. See -w option. 318 3192019-01-03 320 - 1.17.11 321 - Fix strict aliasing warning in optimized compilation. 322 3232018-12-27 324 - 1.17.10 325 - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections 326 again. (See the -n argument.) 327 3282018-12-18 329 - 1.17.9 330 - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4 331 3322018-12-10 333 - 1.17.8 334 - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux 335 3362018-12-03 337 - 1.17.7 338 - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms. 339 This prevented PING from ever being sent. 340 3412018-11-29 342 - 1.17.6 343 - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time 344 345 The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine 346 will not send packets after some packets are delayed. This makes 347 the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine 348 explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call. 349 350 - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are 351 a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging. 352 - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller 353 cleanup. 354 3552018-11-16 356 - 1.17.3 357 - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044 358 3592018-10-19 360 - 1.17.2 361 - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test. 362 - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite 363 flags. (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.) 364 3652018-10-16 366 - 1.17.0 367 - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update: 368 - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return 369 - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments 370 - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated 371 - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless 372 initialization 373 - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of 374 DEVEL_MODE 375 3762018-10-03 377 - 1.16.0 378 - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams() 379 - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on 380 3812018-09-27 382 - 1.15.0 383 - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses 384 - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs 385 3862018-09-12 387 - 1.14.3 388 - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream 389 - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging. 390 Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging. 391 Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from 392 repackaged packets. We must check that the newly repackaged packet 393 would not be empty. If it would be, it is destroyed instead and 394 the next packet on the scheduled queue is used. Note that this 395 change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent. 396 Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in 397 this fashion. 398 - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs. 399 (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we 400 support.) 401 4022018-09-06 403 - 1.14.0 404 - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent 405 If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable 406 packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called. 407 - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit. 408 - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap. Peers 409 may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older 410 than Q043. 411 - Custom header set fixes: 412 - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is 413 claimed; 414 - do not return custom header set for a reset stream. 415 4162018-08-27 417 418 - 1.13.0 419 - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set 420 objects via callbacks. This avoids reading and re-parsing 421 headers from the stream. 422 4232018-08-27 424 425 - 1.12.4 426 - Fix memory leak when engine is destroyed 427 - Fix memory leak in http_client 428 - Fix gcc warning in unit tests 429 4302018-08-22 431 432 - 1.12.3 433 - [BUGFIX] Fix duplicate STREAM frame detection 434 4352018-08-20 436 437 - 1.12.2 438 - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of 439 an already-scheduled packet. 440 - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in 441 unexpected ways. 442 4432018-08-17 444 445 - 1.12.0 446 - [FEATURE, API Change] Add support for certificate verification 447 4482018-08-16 449 450 - 1.11.1 451 - [BUGFIX] Fix STOP_WAITING frame processing in the new Q044 code 452 4532018-08-15 454 455 - 1.11.0 456 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q044. 457 4582018-08-09 459 460 - 1.10.2 461 - [BUGFIX] Don't go over limit when creating delayed streams 462 4632018-07-10 464 465 - 1.10.1 466 - [BUGFIX] process connections after each batch of packets is read 467 This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets 468 (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large) 469 and processing it all at once. 470 - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt. This is necessary for 471 clock_getres(2). 472 - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes. 473 4742018-06-13 475 476 - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default 477 478 Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default. 479 If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by 480 the address. A new connection is not created if another connection 481 is using the same network address 482 4832018-05-30 484 485 - [FEATURE, API CHANGE] Support zero-sized CIDs in received packets 486 4872018-05-24 488 489 - Close connection properly when packet encryption fails 490 4912018-05-23 492 493 - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to delayed packets 494 4952018-05-21 496 497 - [API Change] Add optional callback to call when handshake is done 498 - [API Change, BUGFIX] After send failure, wait until transport available 499 5002018-05-18 501 502 - [API] Expose useful lsquic_ver2str[] in lsquic.h 503 - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to STREAM frame elision 504 - Improve checks of number of incoming streams limit and associated 505 error reporting. 506 - [BUGFIX] Command-line option `-6` now works correctly. 507 5082018-05-16 509 510 - [FEATURE] DNS resolution 511 - [BUGFIX] Frame insertion mis-ID as overlap instead of dup 512 - http_client: fix priority range generated by -E flag 513 5142018-05-09 515 516 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q043. 517 - Support for versions Q037, Q038, Q041, and Q042 has been removed. 518 - Fix typo in debug message. 519 - Fix code indentation. 520 - Add /* fallthru */ comment to stop newer gcc from complaining. 521 - Logger: fix compilation of optimized Windows build. 522 5232018-05-04 524 525 - [FEATURE] Add support for Q042. 526 - Remove comment: MSPC is obsolete (no code changes) 527 - Prog: use lsquic_str2ver() when processing -o version flag 528 - Remove unused CTIM and SRBF transport parameters 529 - Disable QUIC versions Q037 and Q038 by default 530 - Fix Windows compilation by including compat header file in 531 lshpack.c 532 - Address warnings produced by newer versions of gcc 533 - Future-proof: turn off -Werror 534 5352018-05-02 536 537 - [BUGFIX] Make lsquic_conn_quic_version() available 538 - Switch to using ls-hpack 1.1 539 - [BUGFIX] Do not ignore stream resets after receiving FIN 540 5412018-04-27 542 543 - HPACK: do not allow header block to end with table size update. 544 5452018-04-25 546 547 - [BUGFIX] Do not create gap in sent packnos when squeezing delayed 548 packets. 549 - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes. 550 - [BUGFIX] connections with blocked scheduled packets are not tickable 551 for sending. 552 - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level 553 frame. 554 5552018-04-23 556 557 - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress. When connection is 558 self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked. There 559 are two issues: 560 1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if 561 they can be sent out. 562 2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing 563 queue. When the tick occurs, we must service the stream 564 independent of whether any packets are sent. 565 - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some 566 conditions. 567 - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis. 568 5692018-04-20 570 571 - [BUGFIX] Fix bug in lsquic_engine_connect() exposed by yesterday's 572 changes. 573 5742018-04-19 575 576 - [BUGFIX] Add connection to Tickable Queue on stream write 577 - cmake: use MSVC variable instead of trying to detect 578 - engine: improve connection incref/decref logging 579 - stream: don't ignore errors that may occur on triggered flush 580 - connection: remove obsolete method 581 - engine: indicate connection as tickable if previous call went 582 over threshold 583 5842018-04-09 585 586 [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed 587 588 The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several 589 queues. A "connection queue" is now an internal concept. 590 The user processes connections using the single function 591 lsquic_engine_process_conns(). When this function is called, 592 only those connections are processed that need to be processed. 593 A connection needs to be processed when: 594 595 1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection. 596 2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable. 597 3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable. 598 4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out. (This 599 means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the 600 lsquic library callback.) 601 5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out. 602 6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to 603 be created. 604 7. An alarm rings. 605 8. Pacer timer expires. 606 607 To achieve this, the library places the connections into two 608 priority queues (min heaps): 609 610 1. Tickable Queue; and 611 2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ). 612 613 Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable 614 Queue is emptied. After the connections have been ticked, they are 615 queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed 616 either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or 617 it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue. It is assumed that 618 a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm). 619 620 The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least 621 recently ticked order. This lets connections that have been quiet 622 longer to get their packets scheduled first. 623 624 This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked 625 periodically. The user code can query the library when is the 626 next tick event and schedule it exactly. When connections are 627 processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all* 628 the connections. When there are no tick events, it means that no 629 timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event 630 is active. 631 632 The following are improvements and simplifications that have 633 been triggered: 634 635 - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone. 636 - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its 637 history and progress checks). This queue has become the 638 Tickable Queue. 639 - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection 640 insertion order. 641 6422018-04-02 643 644 - [FEATURE] Windows support 645 646 - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap. 647 6482018-03-09 649 650 - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible 651 652 Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are 653 saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the 654 connection is ticked. If several ACKs come in a series between 655 adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset 656 of the saved ACK. If it is, the older ACK is not processed. 657 658 If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is 659 either processed or saved. 660 661 - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history. 662 663 Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence. This reduces 664 the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of 665 packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification. 666 667 By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a 668 single warning is generated per connection. The connection can continue 669 to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some 670 inconsistencies. 671 672 - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct 673 674 The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that 675 are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss, 676 which is the normal case). To speed up reads and writes, we no longer 677 try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers. Use regular integer 678 width for everything. 679 680 - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet. 681 682 - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out 683 684 Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked, 685 use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame 686 was generated. 687 688 - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop 689 690 - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed 691 692 - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing. 693 694 - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort() 695 6962018-02-26 697 - [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection 698 object. 699 - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_get_engine() to get engine object from 700 connection object. 701 - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status. 702 - [API Change] Add add lsquic_conn_set_ctx(). 703 - [API Change] Add new timestamp format, e.g. 2017-03-21 13:43:46.671345 704 - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet 705 arrives. 706 - [OPTIMIZATION] Do not compile expensive send controller sanity check 707 by default. 708 - [OPTIMIZATION] Add fast path to gquic_be_gen_reg_pkt_header. 709 - [OPTIMIZATION] Only make squeeze function call if necessary. 710 - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up Q039 ACK frame parsing. 711 - [OPTIMIZATION] Fit most used elements of packet_out into first 64 bytes. 712 - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of scheduled bytes instead of calculating. 713 - [OPTIMIZATION] Prefetch next unacked packet when processing ACK. 714 - [OPTIMIZATION] Leverage fact that ACK ranges and unacked list are. 715 ordered. 716 - [OPTIMIZATION] Reduce function pointer use for STREAM frame generation 717 - Fix: reset incoming streams that arrive after we send GOAWAY. 718 - Fix: delay client on_new_conn() call until connection is fully set up. 719 - Fixes to buffered packets logic: splitting, STREAM frame elision. 720 - Fix: do not dispatch on_write callback if no packets are available. 721 - Fix WINDOW_UPDATE send and resend logic. 722 - Fix STREAM frame extension code. 723 - Fix: Drop unflushed data when stream is reset. 724 - Switch to tracking CWND using bytes rather than packets. 725 - Fix TCP friendly adjustment in cubic. 726 - Fix: do not generate invalid STOP_WAITING frames during high packet 727 loss. 728 - Pacer fixes. 729 7302017-12-18 731 732 - Fix: better follow cubic curve after idle period 733 - Fix: add missing parts to outgoing packet splitting code 734 - Fix: compilation using gcc 4.8.4 735 7362017-10-31 737 738 - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs 739 7402017-10-31 741 742 - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone. The stream no 743 longer opens files and deals with file descriptors. (Among other 744 things, this makes the code more portable.) Three writing functions 745 are provided: 746 747 lsquic_stream_write 748 lsquic_stream_writev 749 lsquic_stream_writef (NEW) 750 751 lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function 752 pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement. 753 This is the most flexible way. lsquic_stream_write() and 754 lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around 755 lsquic_stream_writef(). 756 757 - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the 758 on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer, 759 bypassing auxiliary data structures. This reduces amount of memory 760 required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited 761 by the congestion window. 762 763 To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N 764 outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to 765 by any stream. One half of these are reserved for the highest 766 priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams. This way, 767 low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams 768 and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send 769 their packets out. 770 771 The algorithm is as follows: 772 773 - When user writes to stream outside of the callback: 774 - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the 775 reserved N/2 queue or fail. 776 (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) -- 777 rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as 778 much as can be sent.) 779 - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the 780 data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail. 781 - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled: 782 - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled 783 queue. 784 - If more scheduling is allowed: 785 - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams, 786 placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue. 787 - If more scheduling is allowed: 788 - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled 789 queue. 790 - If more scheduling is allowed: 791 - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams, 792 placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue 793 794 The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on 795 resource usage. 796 797 - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable 798 from on_new. 799 800 - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing 801 more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet. 802 This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check. 803 Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function. 804 805 - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset 806 stream has outgoing packets referencing it. 807 808 - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now 809 inside a union. 810 8112017-10-12 812 813 - Do not send RST_STREAM when stream is closed for reading 814 - Raise maximum header size from 4K to 64K 815 - Check header name and value lengths against maximum imposed by HPACK 816 - Fix NULL dereference in stream flow controller 817 8182017-10-09 819 820 - Hide handshake implementation behind a set of function pointers 821 - Use monotonically increasing clock 822 - Make sure that retx delay is not larger than the max of 60 seconds 823 8242017-09-29 825 826 - A few fixes to code and README 827 8282017-09-28 829 830 - Add support for Q041; drop support for Q040 831 8322017-09-27 833 834 - Fix CMakeLists.txt: BoringSSL include and lib was mixed up 835 8362017-09-26 837 838 - Add support for Mac OS 839 - Add support for Raspberry Pi 840 - Fix BoringSSL compilation: include <openssl/hmac.h> explicitly 841 8422017-09-22 843 844 - Initial release 845
