Release Notes

lncli

• The lncli wallet psbt fund command now allows users to specify the --min_confs flag.

• Add time_lock_delta overflow check for UpdateChannelPolicy that ensure time_lock_delta is greater or equal than 0 and less or equal than 65535

• Added ability to backup, verify and restore single channels to and from a file on disk.

Watchtowers

• Fix Address iterator panic
• Allow caller to filter sessions at the time of reading them from disk
• Clean up sessions once all channels for which they have updates for are closed. Also start sending the DeleteSession message to the tower.
• Don't load exhausted sessions when not needed. Also add a new exclude_exhausted_sessions boolean flag to the relevant lncli wtclient commands.

Misc

• Return FEE_INSUFFICIENT before checking balance for incoming low-fee HTLCs..

Spec

• Add test vectors for option_zero_fee_htlc_tx

RPC

• A debug log has been added to lnrpc so the node operator can know whether a certain request has happened or not.

• Message funding_locked has been renamed to channel_ready internally to match the specs update. This should not change anything for the users since the message type(36) stays unchanged, except in the logging all the appearance of funding_locked replated experssion is replaced with channel_ready.

Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where lnd crashes when psbt data is not fully available.
