Releases

• 0.0.112 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/29)
• 0.0.113 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/30)
  • Do we want quick release for recent scorer fix?
    • Unclear but maybe not breaking enough to warrant that
    • Let’s target usual monthly release
• 0.1 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/1)

Roadmap Progress

• Developer support

  • Discord Forums
    • Doesn’t appear in matrix bridge
      • → this makes it seem like we’re deprioritizing it sometimes due to lag in response time
  • Would likely prefer GH discussions/bitcoin stackexchange/discord forums to host this kind of FAQ material. Seeing it being used a lot in other dev libs like the rust discord
  • If we wanna steer ppl to this, will require people to put issues in GH discussions etc. may be a question for users of what they’re most comfortable with
  • Want to avoid qs being asked repeatedly
  • Matt: qs being asked over and over doesn’t necessarily mean we need a q&a forum, means our docs are bad or there’s some issue causing confusion
  • Conor: should be cases where it’s useful tho, nuance-y/custom. Also it’s faster than waiting on us to update the docs
  • Website docs
    • Because they’re maintained separately, they get stale (jeff has pointed this out before)
    • Hard to find time to do it
    • Require some rewriting of prose on that page

• Payment protocols

  • Offers PRs landing soon
  • Some prereq PRs open for async payments – trampoline portion
  • Open question for – chanman will need to retry trampoline payments. This means basically pulling invoicepayer logic into chanman. How to do this cleanly?

• Language bindings

  • Cocoapods not maintained :(
  • Arik wants to rewrite bindings codegen. Now that we know more, can write s.t. that codegen code would actually be maintainable/legible
    • Can avoid special case code
    • Also would love to be able to write that in Not Python

• Taproot support

  • Progress will resume this week

• Anchor outputs

  • Progress will resume this week

• LSP

  • No updates from TBD atm

• WSP (Wallet Storage Provider)

  • May be named ESS (encrypted storage service)
  • Devrandom: the encryption is done by the client, so may be a bit of a misnomer
  • More about versioning

• LDK Lite

  • Lots of progress. Nothing fuuullly finished but a lot of movement in the right direction
  • Chain sync discussion recently – currently tricky to get the chain::Access right
  • Esplora client, maybe electrum client can be a bit better maybe but missing some api calls
  • Re: bdk hopefully their next release will be on wednesday, meaning elias can finally make use of the needed upstream changes
