Features

• Bidirectional Heartbeat: Implemented bidirectional heartbeat mechanism for improved connection health monitoring between client and server
• Server-side Least Connections Load Balancer: Added least connections algorithm for better load distribution across backend connections
• Configurable Buffer Size: Buffer size is now configurable for fine-tuned performance optimization

Improvements

• Enhanced resource usage measurement for speed benchmarks
• Added performance benchmark results to documentation

Bug Fixes

• Fixed STEK (Session Ticket Encryption Key) rotation logic
• Fixed server config default values
• Fixed integration unit test

Other Changes

• Removed client-side load balancer (server-side balancing is now preferred)
• Removed unused dependencies
• Added STEK rotation integration test

Features

• Certificate Generation: Added required --server-name flag for DNS SANs in certificate generation, enabling proper server name configuration for TLS certificates

Refactoring

• Configuration: Simplified address configuration by using quic_addr/traffic_addr strings instead of separate ip/port and traffic_port fields

Features

• Challenge-Response Authentication: Added challenge-response authentication method for server
• Performance & Benchmarking: Improved performance and throughput benchmarks

Improvements

• Unix Socket Buffer: Increased sockopt buffer size on Unix systems for better network performance

Bug Fixes

• Default Values: Fixed default value handling issues

Features

• Generate example configs

Improvements

• Improve default config values

Features

• Add --debug flag to control log level for easier troubleshooting
• Default client ID now uses random UUID generation for better uniqueness

Improvements

• Added memory leak detection unit tests for client connections, server pool, and STEK rotation

CI/CD

• Added automated release workflow
