Release Notes

RPC

The RegisterConfirmationsNtfn call of the chainnotifier RPC sub-server now optionally supports returning the entire block that confirmed the transaction.

• Add macaroon_root_key field to InitWalletRequest to allow specifying a root key for macaroons during wallet init rather than having lnd randomly generate one for you.

Misc

• Warning messages from peers are now recognized and logged by lnd.

• Fixed error typo.

• The macaroon key store implementation was refactored to be more generally usable.

• Fixed a bug where cookie authentication with Tor would fail if the cookie path contained spaces. Now it parses Tor control port messages correctly.

lncli

• Add an insecure flag to skip tls auth as well as a metadata string slice flag that allows the caller to specify key-value string pairs that should be appended to the outgoing context.

Code Health

Tooling and documentation

• The golangci-lint tool was updated to v1.46.2
