# Release Notes
## RPC Server
[Return payment address and add index from
addholdinvoice call](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5533).
# Build System
* [A new pre-submit check has been
added](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5520) to ensure that all
PRs ([aside from merge
commits](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5543)) add an entry in
the release notes folder that at leasts links to PR being added.
* [A new build target itest-race](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5542)
to help uncover undetected data races with our itests.
# Documentation
* [Outdated warning about unsupported pruning was replaced with clarification that LND **does**
support pruning](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5553)
# Misc
* The direct use of certain syscalls in packages such as `bbolt` or `lnd`'s own
`healthcheck` package made it impossible to import `lnd` code as a library
into projects that are compiled to WASM binaries. [That problem was fixed by
guarding those syscalls with build tags](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5526).
# Code Health
## Code cleanup, refactor, typo fixes
* [Unused error check
removed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5537).

in place](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5545).

* [Fixed typo in `dest_custom_records` description comment](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5541).
* [Bumped version of `github.com/miekg/dns` library to fix a Dependabot
alert](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5576).
## Database
* [Ensure single writer for legacy
code](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5547) when using etcd
backend.
[Optimized payment sequence generation](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5514/)
to make LNDs payment throughput (and latency) with better when using etcd.
## Performance improvements
