# Release Notes
## Security
* [Misconfigured ZMQ
setup now gets reported](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5710).
## `lncli`
* Add [auto-generated command-line completions](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/4177)
for Fish shell.
* Add [chan_point flag](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6152)
to closechannel command.
* Add [private status](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6167)
to pendingchannels response.
## Bug Fixes
* [Fixed an inactive invoice subscription not removed from invoice
registry](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6053). 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.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6054)
* [Fixed failure to limit our number of hop hints in private invoices](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6236).
When a private invoice is created, and the node had > 20 (our hop hint limit)
private channels with inbound > invoice amount, hop hint selection would add
too many hop hints. When a node had many channels meeting this criteria, it
could result in an "invoice too large" error when creating invoices. Hints
are now properly limited to our maximum of 20.
## Misc
* [An example systemd service file](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6033)
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](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6084).
* [Disable compiler optimizations](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6105)
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](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5964).
* [Consolidated many smaller docs/typo/trivial fixes from PRs that were stuck
in review because of unmet contribution guideline
requirements](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6080).
* [A nightly build of the `lnd` docker image is now created
automatically](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6160).
* [Add `.vs/` folder to `.gitignore`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6178).
* [Chain backend healthchecks disabled for --nochainbackend mode](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6184)
## RPC Server
* [Add value to the field
`remote_balance`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5931) in
`pending_force_closing_channels` under `pendingchannels` whereas before was
empty(zero).
* [Add dev only RPC subserver and the devrpc.ImportGraph
call](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6149)
* [Extend](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6177) the HTLC
interceptor API to provide more control over failure messages. With this
change, it allows encrypted failure messages to be returned to the sender.
Additionally it is possible to signal a malformed htlc.
## Documentation
* Improved instructions on [how to build lnd for mobile](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6085).
* [Log force-close related messages on "info" level](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6124).
## Code Health
### Code cleanup, refactor, typo fixes
* [Refactored itest to better manage contexts inside integration tests](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5756).
* [Fix itest not picking up local config file or creating directories in home
dir of the user](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6202).
* [A refactor of `SelectHopHints`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6182)
allows code external to lnd to call the function, where previously it would
require access to lnd's internals.
* [rpc-check fails if it finds any changes](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6207/)
including new and deleted files.
* [The `golangci-lint` package was updated and new linters were
enabled](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6244).
**Note to developers**: please make sure you delete the old version of
`golangci-lint` in your `$GOPATH/bin` directory. `make lint` does not
automatically replace it with the new version if the binary already exists!
