# Bug Fixes
* A bug that caused certain API calls to hang [has been fixed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8158).
* [LND now sets the `BADONION`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7937)
bit when sending `update_fail_malformed_htlc`. This avoids a force close
with other implementations.
* A bug that would cause taproot channels to sometimes not display as active
[has been fixed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8104).
* [`lnd` will now properly reject macaroons with unknown versions.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8132)
# New Features
## Functional Enhancements
- Previously, when a channel was force closed locally, its anchor was always
force-swept when the CPFP requirements are met. This is now
[changed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7965) to only attempt
CPFP based on the deadline of the commitment transaction. The anchor output
will still be offered to the sweeper during channel force close, while the
actual sweeping won't be forced(CPFP) unless a relevant HTLC will timeout in
144 blocks. If CPFP before this deadline is needed, user can use `BumpFee`
instead.
## RPC Additions
* [`chainrpc` `GetBlockHeader`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8111)
can be used to get block headers with any chain backend.

## Breaking Changes
## Performance Improvements
- When facing a large mempool, users may experience deteriorated performance,
which includes slow startup and shutdown, clogging RPC response when calling
`getinfo`, and CPU spikes. This is now improved with [the upgrade to the
latest `btcwallet`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8019). In
addition, it's strongly recommended to upgrade `bitcoind` to version `v24.0`
and above to take advantage of the new RPC method `gettxspendingprevout`,
which will further decrease CPU usage and memory consumption.
