Netty/Incubator/Codec/Quic 0.0.8.Final released

I am happy to announce the release of netty-incubator-codec-quic 0.0.8.Final, just after our release of netty 4.1.60.Final earlier today.

This release not only fixes a few bugs but also makes use of the new GSO support in netty if the EpollDatagramChannel is used. This change helps to improve the throughput in our benchmarks quite a bit when running h2load (patched for QUIC / HTTP3 support) against our HTTP3 implementation.

Without GSO:

For more details related to this release see our bug-tracker.

The most important changes are:

  • Add support for qlog (#197)
  • Add QuicStreamLimitChangedEvent that will be fired once we can create more streams again (#198)
  • Ensure we always call quiche_conn_on_timeout(...) when a timeout is about to run (#206)
  • Rewrite QuicheQuicStreamChannel to not do any extra queued and also handle writability better (#208)
  • Update to latest quiche commit (#211)
  • Support shutting down the stream with an error code (#213)
  • Make use of GSO when possible (#204)
