103    - Revert the 2.22.1 lsquic_is_valid_hs_packet change.  All that was
104      necessary is a change to the way we call it in lsquic_engine.  No
105      change to the function itself is required.
106
1072020-10-08
108    - 2.22.1
109    - [BUGFIX] Function that checks validity of handshake packets.

161      max_streams_bidi TPs is 2^60.
162    - [BUGFIX] Close IETF mini conn immediately if crypto session
163      cannot be initialized.

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

329    - Fix some unit tests when extra checks are enabled.
330    - Use ls-hpack 2.2.1.
331    - Turn off unconditional extra checks for IETF clients.

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

601
6022019-12-05
603    - 2.7.1
604    - [BUGFIX] client: don't call ignore_init() in middle of batch send.
605      ignore_init() makes an assumption that the send controller has access
606      to all outgoing packets.  This change wraps a few IETF full connection
607      methods to delay calling ignore_init() until the engine returns all
608      outgoing packets that were batched.
609    - [BUGFIX] set errno to EAGAIN if sendmmsg() can't send all of them.
610      This needs to be done because the value of errno may be lost on
611      some platforms.
612    - [BUGFIX] Typo that set all bits in sm_qflags lead to crashes.
613    - [BUGFIX] Do not cancel header block processing after failure, as
614      QPACK releases the reference in that case.
615    - [CLEANUP] IETF encrypt: replace assert(0) with a warning.
616    - Several small improvements to the test server.
617

619    - 2.7.0
620    - [API, FEATURE] Close connection immediately when ea_packets_out()
621      fails with errno != EAGAIN.  The API change is that errno is now
622      examined.  Make sure to set it if using something other than
623      sendmsg() to send packets.
624    - [CLEANUP] Immediate close logic in IETF full conn.
625    - [CLEANUP] Fix bogus warning about uninitialized `pair' variable.

651      packets.
652    - [BUGFIX] Zero-RTT: BoringSSL no longer flips read/write secrets.
653    - [BUGFIX] Truncate ACK frame rather instead of aborting IETF
654      connection.
655    - [BUGFIX] Client: don't send duplicate reset tokens.
656    - [BUGFIX] Remove invalid assertion in H3 framing code.
657    - Silence a warning in send ctl by restructuring switch() statement.
658
6592019-11-08
660    - 2.6.1
661    - [BUGFIX] set retry token on all resubmitted packets.

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

698    - [BUGFIX] make sure TLSv1.3 is not disabled in SSL object.
699    - [BUGFIX] Use issuer name and serial number to cache certs (SKID
700      values are not unique).
701    - [BUGFIX] Always set the idle alarm in IETF connection so that it
702      can time out.
703    - Use ls-qpack v0.10.6, as it silences some warnings.
704
7052019-10-21
706    - 2.4.8
707    - [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Use ls-qpack v0.10.5.

711    - Add echo client and server to the distibution.
712    - Add MD5 client and server to the distibution.

754      For example, h3-Q043.  Chrome will switch to using this format at
755      some point in the future.
756    - [BUGFIX] Send correct value in max_streams_uni transport param
757    - [SPEC] Abort IETF QUIC connection if max_early_data_size is not set

809
8102019-03-19
811    - 1.19.6
812    - [BUGFIX] Ensure that Largest Observed does not decrease in ACKs we
813      send.  ACK frames placed in packets in buffered queues (optimization
814      introduced in 1.17.15) can be preceded by an ACK frame generated later.
815      In this case, the older ACK frame should not be sent out, as Chromium-
816      based servers flags decrease in the ACK frame's Largest Observed value
817      as an error.
818
8192019-03-05

830
8312019-02-18
832    - 1.19.3
833    - [BUGFIX] Q044: don't encode packet number in 6 bytes.  Six-byte
834      packet number encoding does not exist in Q044.  This fixes a
835      regression introduced in '[BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain
836      ACK frames' -- we need to keep QUIC version in mind when selecting
837      the longest possible packet number encoding used for the buffered
838      packet that carries the ACK.
839    - [BUGFIX] Do not increase CWND when timeout occurs.
840    - http_client: support setting handshake timeout on command line.
841      Use -o handshake_to=timeout.

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

854    - [BUGFIX] Fix Windows build.
855
8562019-02-04
857    - 1.19.0
858    - [FEATURE, API Change] 0-RTT support.  Add function to export 0-RTT
859      information; it can be supplied to a subsequent connect() call.
860    - [FEATURE] Add -0 flag to http_client to exercise 0-RTT support.
861    - [BUGFIX] Resuscitate the Windows build.
862    - [BUGFIX] Send HTTP settings (max header list size) if necessary.
863    - [BUGFIX] Buffered packets can contain ACK frames.
864    - [BUGFIX] Make packet writeable once all STREAM frames are elided.
865    - [BUGFIX] Fix potential null dereference when realloc fails.
866    - cmake: simplify build configuration.
867
8682019-01-28
869    - 1.18.0
870    - [API Change] Can specify clock granularity in engine settings.
871    - [BUGFIX] Pacer uses fixed clock granularity.  Since the change on
872      2018-04-09, it is not necessary to try to approximate the next tick
873      time in the pacer: it can use fix clock granularity specified by
874      the user.
875    - [BUGFIX] Do not tick constantly before handshake is done.
876    - [BUGFIX] Do not exit tick prematurely: reuse packet with ACK.  Even
877      if we cannot allocate *more* packets, we could still be able to write
878      to one already allocated.
879    - [BUGFIX] Do not schedule pacer if there are no lost packets.
880
8812019-01-17
882    - 1.17.15
883    - [BUGFIX] http_client: make sure only one read per on_read() callback
884      is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
885    - http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
886    - [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
887      buffered packet if an ACK is queued.  This reduces the number of
888      standalone ACK packets.
889    - [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
890      stream into an outgoing packet.  This change minimizes the number of
891      buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
892      virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
893      the same packet.
894    - [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets.  This
895      causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
896      thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
897      messages.
898
8992019-01-16
900    - 1.17.14
901    - [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
902      time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth.  See -t flag.
903    - [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
904    - [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
905      Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
906      successful and -a option is given.
907    - [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading.  If a
908      stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
909      close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
910      If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
911      processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
912    - [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
913      priority.
914
9152019-01-10
916    - 1.17.12
917    - [FEATURE] http_client can now issue parallel requests in the context
918      of a single connection.  See -w option.
919

925    - 1.17.10
926    - Fix the example program to be able to use parallel connections
927      again.  (See the -n argument.)
928
9292018-12-18
930    - 1.17.9
931    - [BUGFIX] Engine: reduce minimum batch size from 256 to 4
932

934    - 1.17.8
935    - [BUGFIX] Fix compilation on FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux
936
9372018-12-03
938    - 1.17.7
939    - [BUGFIX] Do not unset PING alarm before ringing expired alarms.
940      This prevented PING from ever being sent.
941
9422018-11-29
943    - 1.17.6
944    - Add failsafe: resume sending packets after some time
945
946      The change puts a 1-second limit on the amount of time the engine
947      will not send packets after some packets are delayed.  This makes
948      the library robust in case the user does not unblock the engine
949      explicitly using lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() call.
950
951    - [BUGFIX] Handle corner cases in send controller when packets are
952      a) delayed or b) dropped during repackaging.
953    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak: destroy buffered packets during controller
954      cleanup.
955
9562018-11-16
957    - 1.17.3
958    - [BUGFIX] Do not send STOP_WAITING frames when using Q044
959
9602018-10-19
961    - 1.17.2
962    - [BUGFIX] Memory leak in test_frame_rw unit test.
963    - [BUGFIX] Parsing packets with short IETF header: do not overwrite
964      flags.  (Only a problem in unit tests -- benign otherwise.)
965
9662018-10-16
967    - 1.17.0
968    - [API Change] Packet out Memory Interface (PMI) update:
969      - Split PMI pool return into pmi_release and pmi_return
970      - PMI callbacks take peer_ctx and is_ipv6 arguments
971    - [BUGFIX] Fix use-after-free when certificate is updated
972    - Silence gcc warning in optimized mode by performing useless
973      initialization
974    - cmake: use the standard variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of
975      DEVEL_MODE
976
9772018-10-03
978    - 1.16.0
979    - [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_n_avail_streams()
980    - [BUGFIX] only dispatch crypto stream read events if WANT_READ is on
981
9822018-09-27
983    - 1.15.0
984    - [API Change] Add LSCONN_ST_PEER_GOING_AWAY to the list of conn statuses
985    - [BUGFIX] free uncompressed headers correctly when error occurs
986
9872018-09-12
988    - 1.14.3
989    - [BUGFIX] Do not abort conn on STREAM frame for a reset stream
990    - [BUGFIX] Drop packets that would become empty due to repackaging.
991      Packets on the scheduled queue may be marked for repackaging.
992      Frames such as ACK frame that are never resent are removed from
993      repackaged packets.  We must check that the newly repackaged packet
994      would not be empty.  If it would be, it is destroyed instead and
995      the next packet on the scheduled queue is used.  Note that this
996      change only affects the logic to return the next packet to be sent.
997      Lost packets that are being rescheduled are already processed in
998      this fashion.
999    - Byteswap CID before logging it - this makes it match Chrome CIDs.
1000      (Except Q035, which is the last little-endian GQUIC version we
1001      support.)
1002
10032018-09-06
1004    - 1.14.0
1005    - [API Change] Disable packet sending if full batch cannot be sent
1006      If lsquic_packets_out_f() cannot send the whole batch, disable
1007      packet sending until lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets() is called.
1008    - [BUGFIX] Handle case when STREAM frame does not fit.
1009    - [BUGFIX] Always allow incoming STREAM frames to overlap.  Peers
1010      may send overlapping STREAM frames even if using versions older
1011      than Q043.
1012    - Custom header set fixes:
1013      - set "FIN reached" flag when custom header with FIN flag is
1014        claimed;
1015      - do not return custom header set for a reset stream.
1016
10172018-08-27
1018
1019    - 1.13.0
1020    - [FEATURE, API Change] Add ability to create custom header set
1021      objects via callbacks.  This avoids reading and re-parsing
1022      headers from the stream.
1023
10242018-08-27
1025
1026    - 1.12.4

1039    - [BUGFIX] Update count of scheduled bytes when adjusting size of
1040      an already-scheduled packet.
1041    - Emit info instead of warning messages when stream is used in
1042      unexpected ways.
1043
10442018-08-17
1045
1046    - 1.12.0

1063
10642018-07-10
1065
1066    - 1.10.1
1067    - [BUGFIX]  process connections after each batch of packets is read
1068      This avoids a problem of accumulating a very large list of packets
1069      (possible when speeds are high and socket's receive buffer is large)
1070      and processing it all at once.
1071    - If glibc is older than 2.17, link with rt.  This is necessary for
1072      clock_getres(2).
1073    - Add version macros to lsquic.h; remove unnecessary includes.
1074
10752018-06-13
1076
1077    - [BUGFIX] allow multiple parallel connections by default
1078
1079      Use the original method of tracking connections by CIDs by default.
1080      If zero-sized CID support is turned on, connections are tracked by
1081      the address.  A new connection is not created if another connection
1082      is using the same network address
1083
10842018-05-30
1085
1086    - [FEATURE, API CHANGE] Support zero-sized CIDs in received packets

1102
1103    - [API] Expose useful lsquic_ver2str[] in lsquic.h
1104    - [BUGFIX] Do not produce packet sequence gaps due to STREAM frame elision
1105    - Improve checks of number of incoming streams limit and associated
1106      error reporting.
1107    - [BUGFIX] Command-line option `-6` now works correctly.
1108
11092018-05-16
1110
1111    - [FEATURE] DNS resolution
1112    - [BUGFIX] Frame insertion mis-ID as overlap instead of dup

1114
11152018-05-09
1116

11242018-05-04
1125
1126    - [FEATURE] Add support for Q042.
1127    - Remove comment: MSPC is obsolete (no code changes)

1148    - [BUGFIX] Do not create gap in sent packnos when squeezing delayed
1149      packets.
1150    - [BUGFIX] sendctl checks for all unacked bytes, not just retx bytes.
1151    - [BUGFIX] connections with blocked scheduled packets are not tickable
1152      for sending.
1153    - [BUGFIX] Conn is tickable if it wants to send a connection-level
1154      frame.
1155
11562018-04-23
1157
1158    - Fix busy loop: tickable must make progress.  When connection is
1159      self-reporting as tickable, it must make progress when ticked.  There
1160      are two issues:
1161        1. If there are buffered packets, the connection is only tickable if
1162           they can be sent out.
1163        2. A connection is tickable if there are streams on the servicing
1164           queue.  When the tick occurs, we must service the stream
1165           independent of whether any packets are sent.
1166    - Fix assertion in pacer which can be incorrect under some
1167      conditions.
1168    - cmake: do not turn on address sanitizer if in Travis.

11752018-04-19
1176
1177    - [BUGFIX] Add connection to Tickable Queue on stream write
1178    - cmake: use MSVC variable instead of trying to detect
1179    - engine: improve connection incref/decref logging
1180    - stream: don't ignore errors that may occur on triggered flush
1181    - connection: remove obsolete method
1182    - engine: indicate connection as tickable if previous call went
1183      over threshold
1184
11852018-04-09
1186
1187    [API Change, OPTIMIZATION] Only process conns that need to be processed
1188
1189    The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
1190    queues.  A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
1191    The user processes connections using the single function
1192    lsquic_engine_process_conns().  When this function is called,
1193    only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
1194    A connection needs to be processed when:
1195
1196        1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
1197        2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
1198        3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
1199        4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out.  (This
1200           means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
1201           lsquic library callback.)
1202        5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
1203        6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
1204           be created.
1205        7. An alarm rings.
1206        8. Pacer timer expires.
1207
1208    To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
1209    priority queues (min heaps):
1210
1211        1. Tickable Queue; and
1212        2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
1213
1214    Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
1215    Queue is emptied.  After the connections have been ticked, they are
1216    queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
1217    either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
1218    it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue.  It is assumed that
1219    a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
1220
1221    The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
1222    recently ticked order.  This lets connections that have been quiet
1223    longer to get their packets scheduled first.
1224
1225    This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
1226    periodically.  The user code can query the library when is the
1227    next tick event and schedule it exactly.  When connections are
1228    processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
1229    the connections.  When there are no tick events, it means that no
1230    timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
1231    is active.
1232
1233    The following are improvements and simplifications that have
1234    been triggered:
1235
1236        - Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
1237        - "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
1238          history and progress checks).  This queue has become the
1239          Tickable Queue.
1240        - The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
1241          insertion order.
1242
12432018-04-02
1244
1245    - [FEATURE] Windows support
1246
1247    - Reduce stack use -- outgoing packet batch is now allocated on the heap.
1248
12492018-03-09
1250
1251    - [OPTIMIZATION] Merge series of ACKs if possible
1252
1253      Parsed single-range ACK frames (that is the majority of frames) are
1254      saved in the connection and their processing is deferred until the
1255      connection is ticked.  If several ACKs come in a series between
1256      adjacent ticks, we check whether the latest ACK is a strict superset
1257      of the saved ACK.  If it is, the older ACK is not processed.
1258
1259      If ACK frames can be merged, they are merged and only one of them is
1260      either processed or saved.
1261
1262    - [OPTIMIZATION] Speed up ACK verification by simplifying send history.
1263
1264      Never generate a gap in the sent packet number sequence.  This reduces
1265      the send history to a single number instead of potentially a series of
1266      packet ranges and thereby speeds up ACK verification.
1267
1268      By default, detecting a gap in the send history is not fatal: only a
1269      single warning is generated per connection.  The connection can continue
1270      to operate even if the ACK verification code is not able to detect some
1271      inconsistencies.
1272
1273    - [OPTIMIZATION] Rearrange the lsquic_send_ctl struct
1274
1275      The first part of struct lsquic_send_ctl now consists of members that
1276      are used in lsquic_send_ctl_got_ack() (in the absense of packet loss,
1277      which is the normal case).  To speed up reads and writes, we no longer
1278      try to save space by using 8- and 16-bit integers.  Use regular integer
1279      width for everything.
1280
1281    - [OPTIMIZATION] Cache size of sent packet.
1282
1283    - [OPTIMIZATION] Keep track of the largest ACKed in packet_out
1284
1285      Instead of parsing our own ACK frames when packet has been acked,
1286      use the value saved in the packet_out structure when the ACK frame
1287      was generated.
1288
1289    - [OPTIMIZATION] Take RTT sampling conditional out of ACK loop
1290
1291    - [OPTIMIZATION] ACK processing: only call clock_gettime() if needed
1292

13412017-10-31
1342
1343    - [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone.  The stream no
1344      longer opens files and deals with file descriptors.  (Among other
1345      things, this makes the code more portable.)  Three writing functions
1346      are provided:
1347
1348        lsquic_stream_write
1349        lsquic_stream_writev
1350        lsquic_stream_writef    (NEW)
1351
1352      lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
1353      pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
1354      This is the most flexible way.  lsquic_stream_write() and
1355      lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
1356      lsquic_stream_writef().
1357
1358    - [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
1359      on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
1360      bypassing auxiliary data structures.  This reduces amount of memory
1361      required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
1362      by the congestion window.
1363
1364      To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
1365      outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
1366      by any stream.  One half of these are reserved for the highest
1367      priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams.  This way,
1368      low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
1369      and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
1370      their packets out.
1371
1372      The algorithm is as follows:
1373
1374      - When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
1375        - If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
1376          reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1377            (The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
1378             rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
1379             much as can be sent.)
1380        - If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
1381          data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
1382      - When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
1383        - Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
1384          queue.
1385        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1386          - Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
1387            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
1388        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1389          - Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
1390            queue.
1391        - If more scheduling is allowed:
1392          - Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
1393            placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
1394
1395      The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
1396      resource usage.
1397
1398    - If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
1399      from on_new.
1400
1401    - Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
1402      more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
1403      This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
1404      Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
1405
1406    - STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
1407      stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
1408
1409    - lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
1410      inside a union.
