## [0.13.1] - 2025-12-19

### Fixed
- **PQC Key Exchange Group Detection** 🔧

  - This fix ensures PQC key exchange works correctly with rustls-post-quantum

## [0.13.0] - 2025-12-19

### Breaking Changes
- **100% Post-Quantum Cryptography Always-On** 🔐
  - PQC is now mandatory on every connection - no classical-only mode
  - Removed `PqcMode` enum (ClassicalOnly, Hybrid, PqcOnly)
  - Removed `HybridPreference` enum - always use PQC
  - All connections use ML-KEM-768 + ML-DSA-65 by default
  - PqcConfig now only controls tuning parameters, not enable/disable

- **Symmetric P2P Architecture** 🔄
  - Removed all role distinctions: `EndpointRole`, `NatTraversalRole`
  - Every node is identical: can connect, accept, and coordinate
  - Replaced "bootstrap_nodes" with "known_peers" terminology
  - No client/server distinction - all nodes are full participants
  - Any connected peer can help with address discovery

### Changed
- Primary API is now `P2pEndpoint` with `P2pConfig`
- Configuration uses `known_peers` instead of `bootstrap_nodes`
- NAT traversal coordination is now symmetric peer-to-peer
- Frame IDs updated to RFC-compliant values:
  - ADD_ADDRESS: 0x3d7e90 (IPv4), 0x3d7e91 (IPv6)
  - PUNCH_ME_NOW: 0x3d7e92 (IPv4), 0x3d7e93 (IPv6)
  - REMOVE_ADDRESS: 0x3d7e94
  - OBSERVED_ADDRESS: 0x9f81a6 (IPv4), 0x9f81a7 (IPv6)

### Migration Guide
```rust
// Before (v0.12.x and earlier)
let config = NatTraversalConfig {
    role: EndpointRole::Client,
    bootstrap_nodes: vec!["node.example.com:9000".parse()?],
    pqc_mode: PqcMode::Hybrid,
    ..Default::default()
};

// After (v0.13.0+)
let config = P2pConfig::builder()
    .known_peer("node.example.com:9000".parse()?)
    .build()?;
let endpoint = P2pEndpoint::new(config).await?;
// PQC is always on - no configuration needed
```

### Fixed

- Test reliability on different platforms

## [0.10.0] - 2025-10-01

### Added
- **P2P NAT Traversal Support** 🔄
  - Implemented P2P-aware validation for symmetric peer-to-peer QUIC connections
  - Both peers can now simultaneously act as client AND server (bidirectional NAT traversal)
  - Added helper methods: `negotiated_nat_concurrency_limit()`, `supports_bidirectional_nat_traversal()`
  - 6 comprehensive P2P test cases demonstrating symmetric connection scenarios
  - 2 regression tests ensuring traditional client/server NAT traversal remains unchanged
  - Concurrency limit validation (1-100) for P2P `ServerSupport` configurations

### Fixed
- **Critical**: P2P QUIC connections no longer fail handshake validation
  - Previously, strict asymmetric validation rejected `ServerSupport` from servers and `ClientSupport` from clients
  - Now correctly allows P2P scenarios where both peers send `ServerSupport` or both send `ClientSupport`
  - Unblocks saorsa-core's MessagingService for bidirectional message exchange
- Updated NAT traversal parameter validation to support symmetric P2P connections per draft-seemann-quic-nat-traversal-02
- Fixed 3 legacy tests that expected the old (broken) P2P rejection behavior

### Changed
- **Breaking Change**: NAT traversal validation now accepts all four combinations:
  - Traditional: Client sends `ClientSupport` → Server accepts ✓
  - Traditional: Server sends `ServerSupport` → Client accepts ✓
  - P2P: Server sends `ServerSupport` → Server accepts ✓ (NEW)
  - P2P: Client sends `ClientSupport` → Client accepts ✓ (NEW)
- Decoding logic is now side-agnostic (either peer can send either parameter type)
- Enhanced validation with detailed logging for P2P and traditional scenarios

### Technical Details
- Follows draft-seemann-quic-nat-traversal-02 specification
- Maintains full backward compatibility with traditional client/server NAT traversal
- NAT traversal parameter ID: 0x3d7e9f0bca12fea6
- `ClientSupport`: Empty value (0 bytes)
- `ServerSupport`: VarInt-encoded concurrency_limit (must be 1-100)

### Migration Guide
This change is backward compatible. Existing client/server NAT traversal code requires no changes.

For P2P applications that were previously blocked:
```rust
// P2P symmetric connections now work automatically
// Both peers can use:
let config = NatTraversalConfig::ServerSupport {
    concurrency_limit: VarInt::from_u32(10),
};

// Or both can use:
let config = NatTraversalConfig::ClientSupport;

// Check negotiated limit for P2P connections:
if let Some(limit) = remote_params.negotiated_nat_concurrency_limit(&local_config) {
    println!("Negotiated concurrency limit: {}", limit);
}

// Check if peer supports bidirectional NAT traversal:
if remote_params.supports_bidirectional_nat_traversal() {
    println!("Peer supports P2P NAT traversal");
}
```

## [0.9.0] - 2025-10-01

  - 23 comprehensive unit tests for port configuration
  - Example demonstrating all port configuration features

### Changed
- **Breaking Change**: Default port behavior changed from attempting port 9000 to OS-assigned (port 0)
  - This allows multiple instances on the same machine without conflicts
  - Applications requiring specific ports should explicitly configure `PortBinding::Explicit(port)`
- `EndpointConfig` now includes `port_config` field for port binding configuration
- Enhanced socket binding with proper error handling and platform support

### Fixed
- Port conflicts when running multiple QUIC endpoints on same machine
- Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 binding conflicts on some platforms
- Privileged port validation (ports < 1024) with clear error messages

### Migration Guide
```rust
// Old (v0.8.x) - attempted port 9000
let endpoint = Endpoint::new().await?;

// New (v0.9.0) - OS-assigned port (recommended)
let endpoint = Endpoint::new().await?;
println!("Listening on: {}", endpoint.local_addr().unwrap());

// To maintain old behavior (port 9000)
use ant_quic::config::{EndpointConfig, EndpointPortConfig, PortBinding};
let mut config = EndpointConfig::default();
config.port_config(EndpointPortConfig {
    port: PortBinding::Explicit(9000),
    ..Default::default()
});
```
