# Bug Fixes

* [Replaced](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8224)
  `musig2Sessions` with a `SyncMap` used in `input` package to avoid concurrent
  write to this map.

* [Fixed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8220) a loop variable
  issue which may affect programs built using go `v1.20` and below. 

* [An issue where LND would hang on shutdown has been fixed.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8151)
