160      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
161      change to the function itself is required.
162
1632020-10-08
164    - 2.22.1

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

6582019-12-05
659    - 2.7.1
660    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
661      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
662      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
663      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
664      outgoing packets that were batched.
665    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
666      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on

679      sendmsg() to send packets.

865
8662019-03-19
867    - 1.19.6
868    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
869      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
870      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
871      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
872      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
873      as an error.
874
8752019-03-05
876    - 1.19.5
877    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
878    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
879    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
880
8812019-02-25
882    - 1.19.4
883    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
884    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
885    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
886
8872019-02-18
888    - 1.19.3
889    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
890      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
891      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
892      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
893      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
894      packet that carries the ACK.
895    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
896    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
897      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
898    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
899    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
900      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
901      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
902
9032019-02-11
904    - 1.19.2
905    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.

910    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
911
9122019-02-04
913    - 1.19.0
914    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
915      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
916    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
917    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
918    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
919    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
920    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
921    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
922    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
923
9242019-01-28
925    - 1.18.0
926    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
927    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
928      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
929      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
930      the user.
931    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
932    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
933      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
934      to one already allocated.
935    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
936
9372019-01-17
938    - 1.17.15
939    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
940      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
941    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
942    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
943      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
944      standalone ACK packets.
945    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
946      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
947      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
948      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
949      the same packet.
950    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
951      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
952      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
953      messages.
954
9552019-01-16
956    - 1.17.14
957    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
958      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
959    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
960    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
961      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
962      successful and -a option is given.
963    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
964      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
965      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
966      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
967      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
968    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
969      priority.
970
9712019-01-10
972    - 1.17.12
973    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context

992
9932018-12-03
994    - 1.17.7
995    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
996      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
997
9982018-11-29
999    - 1.17.6
1000    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
1001
1002      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
1003      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
1004      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
1005      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
1006
1007    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
1008      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
1009    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
1010      cleanup.

1018    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.

1021
10222018-10-16
1023    - 1.17.0
1024    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:

1026      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
1027    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
1028    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
1029      initialization

1042
10432018-09-12
1044    - 1.14.3
1045    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
1046    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
1047      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
1048      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
1049      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
1050      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
1051      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
1052      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
1053      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
1054      this fashion.
1055    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
1056      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
1057      support.)
1058
10592018-09-06
1060    - 1.14.0
1061    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1062      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1063      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1064    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1065    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1066      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1067      than Q043.
1068    - Custom header set fixes:
1069      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1070        claimed;
1071      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1072
10732018-08-27
1074
1075    - 1.13.0
1076    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set

1123    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1124      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets

1126      and processing it all at once.
1127    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for

1216      are two issues:
1217        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1218           they can be sent out.
1219        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1220           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1221           independent of whether any packets are sent.

1242
1243    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1244
1245    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1246    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1247    The user processes connections using the single function
1248    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1249    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1250    A connection needs to be processed when:
1251
1252        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1253        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1254        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1255        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1256           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1257           lsquic library callback.)
1258        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1259        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1260           be created.
1261        7. An alarm rings.
1262        8. Pacer timer expires.
1263
1264    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1265    priority queues (min heaps):
1266
1267        1. Tickable Queue; and
1268        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1269
1270    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1271    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1272    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1273    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1274    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1275    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1276
1277    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1278    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1279    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1280
1281    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1282    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1283    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1284    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1285    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1286    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1287    is active.
1288
1289    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1290    been triggered:
1291
1292        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1293        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1294          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1295          Tickable Queue.
1296        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1297          insertion order.

1306
1307    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1308
1309      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1310      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1311      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1312      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1313      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1314
1315      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1316      either processed or saved.
1317
1318    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1319
1320      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1321      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1322      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1323
1324      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1325      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1326      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1327      inconsistencies.
1328
1329    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1330
1331      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1332      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1333      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1334      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1335      width for everything.
1336
1337    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1338
1339    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1340
1341      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1342      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1343      was generated.
1344
1345    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1346
1347    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1348
1349    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.
1350

1394
1395    - Add APIs.txt -- describes LSQUIC APIs
1396
13972017-10-31
1398
1399    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1400      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1401      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1402      are provided:
1403
1404        lsquic_stream_write
1405        lsquic_stream_writev
1406        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1407
1408      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1409      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1410      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1411      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1412      lsquic_stream_writef().
1413
1414    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1415      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1416      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1417      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1418      by the congestion window.
1419
1420      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1421      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1422      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1423      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1424      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1425      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1426      their packets out.
1427
1428      The algorithm is as follows:
1429
1430      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1431        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1432          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1433            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1434             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1435             much as can be sent.)
1436        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1437          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1438      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1439        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1440          queue.
1441        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1442          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1443            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1444        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1445          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1446            queue.
1447        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1448          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1449            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1450
1451      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1452      resource usage.
1453
1454    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1455      from on_new.
1456
1457    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1458      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1459      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1460      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1461
1462    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1463      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1464
1465    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1466      inside a union.
1467

1470    - Do not send RST_STREAM when stream is closed for reading
