Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug to correctly propagate mission control and debug level config values to the main LND config struct so that the GetDebugInfo response is accurate.

• Fix a bug that would cause a nil pointer dereference during the probing of a payment request that does not contain a payment address.

• Fixed a bug where we would not signal an error when trying to bump an non-anchor channel but instead report a successful cpfp registration although no fee bumping is possible for non-anchor channels anyways.

• Use the required route blinding feature-bit for invoices containing blinded paths.

Testing

Database

Code Health

Tooling and Documentation
