LDK Releases

• 0.0.125
  • Bugfix release
  • We discovered that in 124, there was a common force close bug
• 0.1 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/1)
  • A lot of async persistence in this release. Async persist will be beta
  • Hopefully also async signing, better support for things like VLS
  • Offline send is making good progress, but it doesn’t necessarily look like it’s going to make it
  • Likely will support dual funding channel opens, though not necessarily dual funding
  • Should know more in the next meeting
• 0.1.1 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/17)
• 0.2 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/2)

LDK Node Release

• 0.4 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/ldk-node/milestone/4)
  • Thanks to reviewers and contributors on this release, a lot made it in
  • Most notable: larger refactor of BDK internal stuff and upgrades, based on that we added bitcoin core RPC support as a chain syncing backend.
  • Plus lots of other api improvements
  • Since then, people found 2 minor bugs so we shipped 2 patch releases in the last week for those
  • So if you're using 0.4, definitely upgrade
• 0.5 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/ldk-node/milestone/5)
  • Coming soon

Language bindings

Developer support

• Conor: need to review the probing documentation PR that Austen put up

Feature progress

• Async payments
  • Progress on the latest PR in the series plus the next up for conceptual feedback
• RGS
  • One bug report we’re looking into regarding versioning
  • Otherwise quiet on this front
• VSS
  • Shipped support in LDK Node
  • Doing some testing and validation, should be ready to use in experimental version, mainly because if there’s a persistence failure in remote persistence then LDK Node might panic
  • So clients using VSS in server context, should be safer but in mobile context caution may be warranted
  • Gursharan working on a blog post to publish soon on VSS
• Dual funding
  • Accepting inbound DF channels should be landed soon ish
  • Followup work should be close to PR as well
• Splicing
  • Optout’s been working on this, a bit blocked on dunxen’s work but should be good soon. Some refactors coming out
• Good progress here
