Bug Fixes

• closedchannels now successfully reports settled balances even if the delivery address is set to an address that LND does not control.

• SendPaymentV2 now cancels the background payment loop if the user cancels the stream context.

New Features

Functional Enhancements

RPC Additions

• The SendPaymentRequest message receives a new flag cancelable which indicates if the payment loop is cancelable. The cancellation can either occur manually by cancelling the send payment stream context, or automatically at the end of the timeout period if the user provided timeout_seconds.

lncli Additions

• Added the cltv_expiry argument to addinvoice and addholdinvoice, allowing users to set the min_final_cltv_expiry_delta.

• The lncli wallet estimatefeerate command returns the fee rate estimate for on-chain transactions in sat/kw and sat/vb to achieve a given confirmation target.
