# Release Notes
|
|
|
|
## DB
|
|
|
|
* Split channeldb [`UpdateInvoice`
|
|
implementation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7377) logic in
|
|
different update types.
|
|
|
|
## Watchtowers
|
|
|
|
* Let the task pipeline [only carry
|
|
wtdb.BackupIDs](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7623) instead of
|
|
the entire retribution struct. This reduces the amount of data that needs to
|
|
be held in memory.
|
|
* [Replace in-mem task pipeline with a disk-overflow
|
|
queue](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7380)
|
|
|
|
## Misc
|
|
|
|
* [Ensure that both the byte and string form of a TXID is populated in the
|
|
lnrpc.Outpoint message](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7624).
|
|
|
|
* [Fix Benchmark Test (BenchmarkReadMessage/Channel_Ready) in the lnwire
|
|
package](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7356)
|
|
|
|
* [Fix unit test flake (TestLightningWallet) in the neutrino package via
|
|
version bump of btcsuite/btcwallet](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7049)
|
|
|
|
## RPC
|
|
|
|
* [SendOutputs](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7631) now adheres
|
|
to the anchor channel reserve requirement.
|
|
|
|
* Enforce provided [fee rate is no less than the relay or minimum mempool
|
|
fee](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7645) when calling
|
|
`OpenChannel`, `CloseChannel`, `SendCoins`, and `SendMany`.
|
|
|
|
* The [UpdateNodeAnnouncement](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7568)
|
|
API can no longer be used to set/unset protocol features that are defined by
|
|
LND.
|
|
|
|
* [Neutrinorpc getblockhash has
|
|
been deprecated](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7712). Endpoint
|
|
has been moved to the chainrpc sub-server.
|
|
|
|
Custom node announcement feature bits can also be specified in config using
|
|
the `dev` build tag and `--protocol.custom-nodeann`, `--protocol.custom-init`
|
|
and `--protocol.custom-invoice` flags to set feature bits for various feature
|
|
"sets", as defined in [BOLT 9](https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/09-features.md).
|
|
|
|
* `OpenChannel` now accepts an [optional `memo`
|
|
argument](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7668) for specifying
|
|
a helpful note-to-self containing arbitrary useful information about the
|
|
channel.
|
|
|
|
* `PendingOpenChannel` now has the field
|
|
[`funding_expiry_blocks`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7480)
|
|
that indicates the number of blocks until the funding transaction is
|
|
considered expired.
|
|
|
|
* [gRPC keepalive parameters can now be set in the
|
|
configuration](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7730). The `lnd`
|
|
configuration settings `grpc.server-ping-time` and `grpc.server-ping-timeout`
|
|
configure how often `lnd` pings its clients and how long a pong response is
|
|
allowed to take. The default values for there settings are improved over the
|
|
gRPC protocol internal default values, so most users won't need to change
|
|
those. The `grpc.client-ping-min-wait` setting defines how often a client is
|
|
allowed to ping `lnd` to check for connection healthiness. The `lnd` default
|
|
value of 5 seconds is much lower than the previously used protocol internal
|
|
value, which means clients can now check connection health more often. For
|
|
this to be activated on the client side, gRPC clients are encouraged to set
|
|
the keepalive setting on their end as well (using the `grpc.keepalive_time_ms`
|
|
option in JavaScript or Python, or the equivalent setting in the gRPC library
|
|
they are using, might be an environment variable or a different syntax
|
|
depending on the programming language used) when creating long open streams
|
|
over a network topology that might silently fail connections. A value of
|
|
`grpc.keepalive_time_ms=5100` is recommended on the client side (adding 100ms
|
|
to account for slightly different clock speeds).
|
|
|
|
* [Fixed a bug where we didn't check for correct networks when submitting
|
|
onchain transactions](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6448).
|
|
|
|
## Misc
|
|
|
|
* [Generate default macaroons
|
|
independently](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7592) on wallet
|
|
unlock or create.
|
|
|
|
* [Restore support](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7678) for
|
|
`PKCS8`-encoded cert private keys.
|
|
|
|
* Add [`--unused`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/6387) to
|
|
`lncli newaddr` command.
|
|
|
|
## Code Health
|
|
|
|
* Updated [our fork for serializing protobuf as JSON to be based on the
|
|
latest version of `google.golang.org/protobuf` instead of the deprecated
|
|
`github.com/golang/protobuf/jsonpb`
|
|
module](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7659).
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
* [Started](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7494) running fuzz
|
|
tests in CI.
|
|
|
|
* [Derandomized](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7618) the BOLT
|
|
8 fuzz tests.
|
|
|
|
* [Added fuzz tests](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7649) for
|
|
signature parsing and conversion.
|
|
|
|
* [Added a fuzz test](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7687) for
|
|
watchtower address iterators.
|
|
|
|
* [Simplify fuzz tests](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7709)
|
|
using the `require` package.
|
|
|
|
## `lncli`
|
|
|
|
* Added ability to use [ENV variables to override `lncli` global flags](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7693). Flags will have preference over ENVs.
|
|
|
|
* The `lncli sendcoins` command now asks for manual confirmation when invoked
|
|
on the command line. This can be skipped by adding the `--force` (or `-f`)
|
|
flag, similar to how `lncli payinvoice` works. To not break any existing
|
|
scripts the confirmation is also skipped if `stdout` is not a terminal/tty
|
|
(e.g. when capturing the output in a shell script variable or piping the
|
|
output to another program).
|
|
|
|
## Bug Fix
|
|
|
|
* Make sure payment stream returns all the events by [subscribing it before
|
|
sending](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7722).
|
|
|
|
### Tooling and documentation
|
|
|
|
* Add support for [custom `RPCHOST` and
|
|
`RPCCRTPATH`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7429) to the
|
|
`lnd` Docker image main script (`/start-lnd.sh`).
