nghttp2_mem structure is introduced to hold custom memory allocator
functions and user supplied pointer. nghttp2_mem object can be passed
to nghttp2_session_client_new3(), nghttp2_session_server_new3(),
nghttp2_hd_deflate_new2() and nghttp2_hd_inflate_new2() to replace
standard malloc(), free(), calloc() and realloc(). nghttp2_mem
structure has user supplied pointer mem_user_data which can be used as
per session/object memory pool.
ALTSVC and BLOCKED frames are now extension frames. To add new
extension frame without modifying nghttp2_frame union, which causes so
name bump, we separated extension frames from core frames.
nghttp2_frame includes generic nghttp2_extension. The payload member
of nghttp2_extension will point to the structure of extension frame
payload. The frame types of extension frames are defined in
nghttp2_ext_frame_type.
If stream with dpri value of no_data, we check any its descendant has
stream with dpri value of top. If so, we have to distribute of its
portion of weight to its descendants.
Now previous padding options are removed and instead we added
select_padding_callback to select padding length for each frame
by application. If this callback is not implemented by application,
no padding is added.
This change also fixes the broken session_detect_idle_stream()
if stream_id is our side.
This stream inflater can inflate incoming header block in streaming
fashion. Currently, we buffer up single name/value pair, but we chose
far more smaller buffer size than HTTP/2 frame size.
Now, in nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback, nva and nvlen in
HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE frames are always NULL and 0 respectively.
The header name/value pairs are emitted successive
nghttp2_on_header_callback functions. The end of header fields are
signaled with nghttp2_on_end_headers_callback function.
Since NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE for nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback is
introduced to handle header block, it is now deprecated.
Instead, nghttp2_on_header_callback can be paused using
NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE.
