Update Bitcoin Core to v26.1 (#2851)
Bitcoin Core 26.1 contains ancestor-aware funding: it will automatically
fetch unconfirmed ancestors during funding and adapt the fee to apply
the target feerate to the whole unconfirmed package.

We had custom code to implement this entirely in eclair, which we can
now remove.

Major changes

Update minimal version of Bitcoin Core

With this release, eclair requires using Bitcoin Core 26.1. Newer versions of Bitcoin Core may be used, but haven't been extensively tested.

API changes

Miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes

Verifying signatures

You will need gpg and our release signing key 7A73FE77DE2C4027. Note that you can get it:

To import our signing key:

$ gpg --import drouinf.asc

To verify the release file checksums and signatures:

$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped
$ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.stripped

Building

Eclair builds are deterministic. To reproduce our builds, please use the following environment (*):

  • Ubuntu 22.04
  • AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.22
  • Maven 3.9.2

Use the following command to generate the eclair-node package:

mvn clean install -DskipTests

That should generate eclair-node/target/eclair-node-<version>-XXXXXXX-bin.zip with sha256 checksums that match the one we provide and sign in SHA256SUMS.asc

(*) You may be able to build the exact same artefacts with other operating systems or versions of JDK 11, we have not tried everything.

Upgrading

This release is fully compatible with previous eclair versions. You don't need to close your channels, just stop eclair, upgrade and restart.
