@@ -64,6 +64,11 @@ New Functionality
 - The DNS analyzer now returns the set of parameters for SVCB data. It previously handled
   SVCB packets, but omitted the parameters while parsing.
 
+- The QUIC analyzer now raises QUIC::discarded_packet() when a packet with fixed_bit
+  set to 0 is encountered. Such an occurrence is included in the QUIC history as ``X``.
+  This functionality can be controlled with ``QUIC::max_discarded_packet_events``,
+  setting this variable to -1 disabled the ``QUIC::discarded_packet`` event.
+
 Changed Functionality
