           communication-error response callback.
         - HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 requests advertise `te: trailers`; stream header names are normalized
           to lowercase at the HTTP boundary.
+        - Added the `Protocol.STDIO` pseudo-protocol constant for standard input/output connectors.
     - Bugs fixed
         - Slf4j bridge reports wrong line number and caller class in log4j. Issue #233.
         - When GET is an allowed method of a server resource, HEAD is now also listed (e.g. in the Allow header of a 405 response). Issue #266.
