Release Notes

Security

• Misconfigured ZMQ setup now gets reported.

lncli

• Add auto-generated command-line completions for Fish shell.

• Add chan_point flag to closechannel command.

• Add private status to pendingchannels response.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an inactive invoice subscription not removed from invoice registry. When an invoice subscription is created and canceled immediately, it could be left uncleaned due to the cancel signal is processed before the creation. It is now properly handled by moving creation before deletion.

• When the block height+delta specified by a network message is greater than the gossiper's best height, it will be considered as premature and ignored. These premature messages are now saved into a cache and processed once the height has reached.

Misc

• An example systemd service file for running lnd alongside a bitcoind service is now provided in contrib/init/lnd.service.

• Allow disabling migrations if the database backend passed to channeldb was opened in read-only mode.

• Disable compiler optimizations when building lnd-debug and lncli-debug. It helps when stepping through the code with a debugger like Delve.

• A new command lncli leaseoutput was added.

• Consolidated many smaller docs/typo/trivial fixes from PRs that were stuck in review because of unmet contribution guideline requirements.

• A nightly build of the lnd docker image is now created automatically.

• Add .vs/ folder to .gitignore.

• Chain backend healthchecks disabled for --nochainbackend mode
