v0.45.1

This patch release contains two fixes:

• The new Prometheus metrics DefaultConnectionTracer was implemented incorrectly, leading to incorrect metrics being collected: #4560
• The http3.RoundTripper was caching the dial error (#4561). Instead, we should re-dial the QUIC connection: #4573

v0.45.0

New Features

Prometheus

quic-go now exports a few Prometheus metrics, allowing users to get an aggregate picture of what's going on inside their QUIC stack. Currently, only a basic set of metrics is exposed, but we plan to track more metrics in the future (#4554). Head to the documentation to learn how to enable metrics collection.

Prometheus metrics can be used (among others) to build Grafana dashboards, and we provide a sample Grafana dashboard in metrics/dashboard.

Tracing Handshake Progression using a custom context.Context

Users can now set and modify the context that's used on all callbacks called during the handshake, and returned from Connection.Context (#4507 and #4536). This allows identifying the connection as it progresses through the different handshake stages. The documentation has more details and code samples.

Better Path MTU Discovery

Path MTU Discovery is used to automatically determine the available MTU of the path, which allows us to send full-size packets. This is especially relevant for high-bandwidth transfers.

Our old PMTUD algorithm was susceptible to packet loss, leading to suboptimal results if an MTU probe packet experienced packet loss in the network. The new algorithm (#4545) is now resilient to the consecutive loss of up to two probe packets.

Breaking Changes

• Connection.NextConnection now takes a context and correctly handles handshake failures (#4551)
• qlog: DefaultTracer was renamed to DefaultConnectionTracer (#4556)
• The ConnectionTracingKey is now deprecated. Use Transport.ConnContext to set your own tracing key (#4532)

Fixes

• The server now correctly restores its QUIC transport parameters when resuming 0-RTT using a tls.Config that sets GetConfigForClient: (#4550)
