Release Notes

Protocol Extensions

Zero-Conf Channel Opens

• Introduces support for zero-conf channel opens and non-zero-conf option_scid_alias channels.

Build system

• Add the release build directory to the .gitignore file to avoid the release binary digest to be different whether that folder exists or not.

lncli

• Add payment_addr flag to buildroute so that the mpp record of the route can be set correctly.

• Hop hints are now opt in when using lncli addholdinvoice. Users now need to explicitly specify the --private flag.

• Add chan_point flag to updatechanstatus and abandonchannel to offer a convenient way to specify the channel to be updated.

• Add ignore_pair flag to queryroutes to allow a user to request that specific directional node pairs be ignored during the route search.

Database

• Delete failed payment attempts once payments are settled, unless specified with keep-failed-payment-attempts flag.

Documentation

• Add minor comment on subscribe/cancel/lookup invoice parameter encoding.
• Log pubkey for peer related messages.

RPC Server

• Add previous_outpoints to GetTransactions RPC.

• Fix P2TR support in ComputeInputScript.

• Add wallet reserve RPC & field in wallet balance.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed data race found in TestSerializeHTLCEntries.

• Fixed a bug in the SignPsbt RPC that produced an invalid response when signing a NP2WKH input.

• Update the urfave/cli package because of a flag parsing bug.

• DisconnectPeer no longer interferes with the peerTerminationWatcher. This previously caused force closes.

• The HtlcSwitch now waits for a ChannelLink to stop before replacing it. This fixes a race condition.

• Integration tests now always run with nodes never deleting failed payments.

Code Health

Code cleanup, refactor, typo fixes

• Migrate instances of assert.NoError to require.NoError.

• Enforce the order of rpc interceptor execution to be the same as the order in which they were registered.

Tooling and documentation

• An .editorconfig file was added to autoconfigure most text editors to respect the 80 character line length and to use 8 spaces as the tab size. Rules for Visual Studio Code were also added. And finally, the code formatting rules were extracted into their own document.
