62      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
63      change to the function itself is required.
64
652020-10-08
66    - 2.22.1

146      cleanup.
147    - Don't use -Werror.

2182020-07-06
219    - 2.18.0
220    - [API] Rename "0-RTT" to "session resumption." In IETF QUIC, "0-RTT"
221      always refers to early data, meaning a request that the server can
222      reply to in the very first return flight.  A more appropriate name
223      for what we support on the client site is "session resumption," which
224      is standard TLS terminology.  Later, when we add support for 0-RTT
225      (early data), we can use the 0-RTT terminology again, this time in
226      proper context.

244      calculating a connection's "tickable" property.
245    - [BUGFIX] Don't count scheduled packets as in-flight when pacer is
246      checked on tick.

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

4542020-01-28
455    - 2.10.0
456    - [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 25 support.
457    - [API] Drop support for ID-23.

462    - 2.9.0
463    - [API] Drop support for Q039.
464    - Improve ACK-queuing logic.  Send an ACK once in a while if
465      peer keeps on sending non-ack-eliciting packets.
466    - Improve Alt-Svc string: Q050 and later are not included in

484    - [BUGFIX] Invalid read when parsing IETF transport parameters
485      (this was benign).
486    - [OPTIMIZATION] Frame bundling when using buffered packets in

488      in opportunistic fashion.
489    - Fix HTTP/3 framing unit test.
490    - Code cleanup.
491
4922020-01-09

502    - 2.8.5
503    - [HTTP3] Verify number of bytes in incoming DATA frames against
504      content-length.
505    - [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
506      decoder window.  This addresses a potential attack whereby client
507      can cause the server to keep allocating memory.  See Security
508      Considerations in the QPACK draft.

516    - [FEATURE] Use occasional packet number gaps to detect optimistic
517      ACK attacks.
518    - [BUGFIX] Q050 client: all packet numbers are in the App PNS.
519    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge multi-range ACK frames, not just single-range
520      ACK frames.
521    - IETF QUIC: use RTT estimate in ack timeout calculation.
522    - IETF handshake: abort conn when unexpected errors occur.
523    - Use PING rather than MAX_DATA frames to elicit ACKs from peer.
524    - Server: enforce 1200 byte Initial minimum packet size.
525    - [CLEANUP] Remove code to disable gQUIC crypto.
526    - [CLEANUP] Remove n_timestamps from ACK info struct.

538    - [DEBUG] Further dedup next advisory tick messages when reason is
539      the same.
540    - [BUGFIX] Update size of `a` array in TP struct.  Fixes (benign)
541      GitHub bug #94.
542    - Use Cubic by default again instead of BBR, as it delivers more
543      consistent performance.
544
5452019-12-11
546    - 2.7.2
547    - [BUGFIX] Send controller: update scheduled bytes when DCID length
548      changes (IETF client).
549    - [BUGFIX] Drop alarm check from sanity test.  It no longer works now
550      that we use loss chains.
551    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build on Alpine Linux.
552    - [PORTABILITY] Fix build using XCode.
553    - Client initial DCID length: use RAND_bytes() instead of rand(3).
554    - Add unit tests for connection min heap.
555    - [DEBUG] Log CID in gQUIC handshake module
556    - [DEBUG] Turn on extra checks for IETF client send controller.

558    - [DEBUG] QPACK decoder handler: log header error code.
559
5602019-12-05
561    - 2.7.1
562    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
563      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
564      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
565      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
566      outgoing packets that were batched.
567    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
568      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
569      some platforms.
570    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
571    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
572      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
573    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
574    - Several small improvements to the test server.
575
5762019-11-27
577    - 2.7.0
578    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
579      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
580      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
581      sendmsg() to send packets.
582    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
583    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.

608    - [BUGFIX] SCID!=ODCID rule applies to Retry packets, not regular
609      packets.
610    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
611    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
612      connection.
613    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
614    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
615    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
616
6172019-11-08
618    - 2.6.1
619    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.
620    - Event log: log sent packet flags.  In particular, this allows one
621      to see whether token was sent.
622    - Don't migrate client if es_allow_migration is false.

633      packet.
634
6352019-11-04
636    - 2.5.1
637    - [BUGFIX] Fix double-free when emptying a packet number space.
638    - [BUGFIX] http_server: fix md5sum handler: handle EOF correctly.
639    - [BUGFIX] Use random values in bits 4 and 5 of the first byte of
640      verneg packets (regression introduced in 2.5.0).
641    - [OPTIMIZATION] Don't compile in expensive attq checks by default.
642    - [OPTIMIZATION] http_server: compile regexes only once.
643

654    - 2.4.10
655    - [BUGFIX] IETF QUIC server: fix uninitialized variable use.
656    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
657    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID
658      values are not unique).
659    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
660      can time out.
661    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
662
6632019-10-21
664    - 2.4.8
665    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.
666
6672019-10-15
668    - 2.4.7
669    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
670    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.
671    - Fix http_client: check command-line arguments better, prevent crash.
672    - Fix IETF conn: can_write_ack() should only care about APP PNS.

674    - Reset HTTP stream whose write end is closed prematurely.
675    - Fix tickable(): mirror behavior of tick() wrt buffered packets.
676    - Log reason why engine is tickable.
677
6782019-10-11
679    - 2.4.6
680    - Minor code cleanup and logging improvements.

693    - [API] Add lsquic_alpn2ver() to aid parsing Alt-Svc header.
694    - [BUGFIX] NULL dereference when H3 frame header would be split.
695    - [BUGFIX] Do not close fixed-size H3 frame prematurely.
696    - [BUGFIX] Allow PING frames in IETF mini conn.
697    - [BUGFIX] Mini conns: don't send any packets after receiving
698      CONNECTION_CLOSE.
699    - [BUGFIX] Client migration: reserve slot for DCID from transport params.
700    - [BUGFIX] Allow max_early_data_size=0 -- early_data might not be there.
701    - [BUGFIX] Use an invalid stream number to reset BPT cache (zero is now a
702      valid stream number).
703    - [SPEC] Use FINAL_SIZE_ERROR when FIN mismatch is detected.
704    - [OPTIMIZATION] Closed connection only gets one chance to send packets.
705    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers stream before packetizing stream data.
706    - [OPTIMIZATION] process QPACK encoder STREAM frames immediately.
707    - Update ls-qpack to v0.10.1.
708
7092019-09-30
710    - 2.4.3
711    - Add GQUIC versions to the list of h3 ALPNs for Alt-Svc header.
712      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
713      some point in the future.
714    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
715    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set
716      to 0xFFFFFFFF
717
7182019-09-23
719    - 2.4.2
720    - [BUGFIX] H3 framing: fix zero-byte write when space is available

722      is closed
723    - [BUGFIX] Cancel all pending writes by stream reset by a GOAWAY
724    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free in IETF full conn
725    - [OPTIMIZATION] Wait for session tickets for two seconds and then drop
726      SSL object and crypto streams.
727

758      search static and dynamic tables.
759
7602019-04-12
761    - 1.21.0
762    - [FEATURE] Add qlog log module.
763
7642019-04-01
765    - 1.20.0
766    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q046.
767
7682019-03-19
769    - 1.19.6
770    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
771      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
772      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
773      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
774      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
775      as an error.
776
7772019-03-05
778    - 1.19.5
779    - [BUGFIX] Use correct public key from PUBS based on KEXS index.
780    - [BUGFIX] Check flags before dispatching writes, avoiding assert.
781    - [BUGFIX] Set :scheme to "https" (instead of "HTTP").
782
7832019-02-25
784    - 1.19.4
785    - [BUGFIX] Check buffer bounds when looking up version in 0-RTT blob.
786    - [BUGFIX] http_client: don't fetch 0-rtt info if handshake failed.
787    - Log number of pacer calls at DEBUG, rather than NOTICE, level.
788
7892019-02-18
790    - 1.19.3
791    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
792      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
793      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
794      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
795      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
796      packet that carries the ACK.
797    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
798    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
799      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.
800    - http_client: use -k to connect UDP socket to pick up ICMP errors.
801    - http_client: allow pathless mode, when only handshake is performed
802      without issuing any requests.  This can be done by simply not
803      specifying a -p flag on the command line.
804
8052019-02-11
806    - 1.19.2
807    - [BUGFIX] Begin negotiation with version provided in 0-RTT info.

8102019-02-04
811    - 1.19.1
812    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
813
8142019-02-04
815    - 1.19.0
816    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
817      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
818    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
819    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
820    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
821    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
822    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
823    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
824    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
825
8262019-01-28
827    - 1.18.0
828    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
829    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
830      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
831      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
832      the user.
833    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
834    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
835      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
836      to one already allocated.
837    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
838
8392019-01-17
840    - 1.17.15
841    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
842      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
843    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
844    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
845      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
846      standalone ACK packets.
847    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
848      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
849      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
850      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
851      the same packet.
852    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
853      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
854      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
855      messages.

8572019-01-16
858    - 1.17.14
859    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
860      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
861    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
862    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
863      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
864      successful and -a option is given.
865    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
866      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
867      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
868      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
869      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
870    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
871      priority.
872
8732019-01-10
874    - 1.17.12
875    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context

8952018-12-03
896    - 1.17.7
897    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
898      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
899
9002018-11-29
901    - 1.17.6
902    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
903
904      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
905      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
906      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
907      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
908
909    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
910      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
911    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
912      cleanup.

925    - 1.17.0
926    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:

928      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
929    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
930    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
931      initialization

944
9452018-09-12
946    - 1.14.3
947    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
948    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
949      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
950      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
951      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
952      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
953      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
954      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
955      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
956      this fashion.
957    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
958      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
959      support.)
960
9612018-09-06
962    - 1.14.0
963    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
964      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
965      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
966    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
967    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
968      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
969      than Q043.
970    - Custom header set fixes:
971      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
972        claimed;
973      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
974
9752018-08-27
976
977    - 1.13.0
978    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set

1024    - 1.10.1
1025    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1026      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1027      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1028      and processing it all at once.
1029    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for

1118      are two issues:
1119        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1120           they can be sent out.
1121        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1122           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1123           independent of whether any packets are sent.

1144
1145    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1146
1147    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1148    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1149    The user processes connections using the single function
1150    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1151    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1152    A connection needs to be processed when:
1153
1154        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1155        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1156        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1157        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1158           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1159           lsquic library callback.)
1160        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1161        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1162           be created.
1163        7. An alarm rings.
1164        8. Pacer timer expires.
1165
1166    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1167    priority queues (min heaps):
1168
1169        1. Tickable Queue; and
1170        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1171
1172    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1173    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1174    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1175    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1176    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1177    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1178
1179    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1180    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1181    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1182
1183    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1184    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1185    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1186    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1187    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1188    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1189    is active.
1190
1191    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1192    been triggered:
1193
1194        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1195        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1196          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1197          Tickable Queue.
1198        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1199          insertion order.
1200
12012018-04-02
1202
1203    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1204
1205    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
1206
12072018-03-09
1208
1209    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1210
1211      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1212      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1213      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1214      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1215      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1216
1217      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1218      either processed or saved.
1219
1220    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1221
1222      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1223      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1224      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1225
1226      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1227      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1228      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1229      inconsistencies.
1230
1231    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1232
1233      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1234      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1235      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1236      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1237      width for everything.
1238
1239    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1240
1241    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1242
1243      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1244      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1245      was generated.
1246
1247    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1248
1249    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1250
1251    - [OPTIMIZATION] Several code-level optimizations to ACK processing.

1253    - Fix: http_client: fix -I flag; switch assert() to abort()
1254
12552018-02-26
1256    - [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection

1263    - [OPTIMIZATION] Process handshake STREAM frames as soon as packet
1264      arrives.

1272    - [OPTIMIZATION] Prefetch next unacked packet when processing ACK.
1273    - [OPTIMIZATION] Leverage fact that ACK ranges and unacked list are.
1274      ordered.
1275    - [OPTIMIZATION] Reduce function pointer use for STREAM frame generation
1276    - Fix: reset incoming streams that arrive after we send GOAWAY.
1277    - Fix: delay client on_new_conn() call until connection is fully set up.
1278    - Fixes to buffered packets logic: splitting, STREAM frame elision.
1279    - Fix: do not dispatch on_write callback if no packets are available.
1280    - Fix WINDOW_UPDATE send and resend logic.
1281    - Fix STREAM frame extension code.

1301    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1302      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1303      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1304      are provided:
1305
1306        lsquic_stream_write
1307        lsquic_stream_writev
1308        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1309
1310      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1311      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1312      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1313      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1314      lsquic_stream_writef().
1315
1316    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1317      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1318      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1319      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1320      by the congestion window.
1321
1322      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1323      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1324      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1325      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1326      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1327      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1328      their packets out.
1329
1330      The algorithm is as follows:
1331
1332      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1333        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1334          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1335            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1336             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1337             much as can be sent.)
1338        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1339          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1340      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1341        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1342          queue.
1343        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1344          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1345            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1346        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1347          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1348            queue.
1349        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1350          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1351            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1352
1353      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1354      resource usage.
1355
1356    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1357      from on_new.
1358
1359    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1360      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1361      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1362      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1363
1364    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1365      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1366
1367    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1368      inside a union.
