Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

  • JSON API: New command check checks the validity of a JSON API call without running it.
  • JSON API: getinfo now returns num_peers num_pending_channels, num_active_channels and num_inactive_channels fields.
  • JSON API: use \n\n to terminate responses, for simplified parsing (pylightning now relies on this)
  • Plugins: Added plugins to lightningd, including option passthrough and JSON-RPC passthrough.

Changed

  • JSON API: pay and decodepay accept and ignore lightning: prefixes.

Deprecated

Note: You should always set allow-deprecated-apis=false to test for changes.

Removed

Fixed

  • JSON API: uppercase invoices now parsed correctly (broken in 0.6.2).
  • JSON API: commands are once again read even if one hasn't responded yet (broken in 0.6.2).
  • Protocol: allow lnd to send update_fee before funding_locked.
  • pylightning: handle multiple simultanous RPC replies reliably.

0.6.2 - 2018-10-20: "The Consensus Loving Nasal Daemon"

This release named by practicalswift.

Added

  • JSON API: listpeers has new field scratch_txid: the latest tx in channel.
  • JSON API: listpeers has new array htlcs: the current live payments.
  • JSON API: listchannels has two new fields: message_flags and channel_flags. This replaces flags.
  • JSON API: invoice now adds route hint to invoices for incoming capacity (RouteBoost), and warns if insufficient capacity.
  • JSON API: listforwards lists all forwarded payments, their associated channels, and fees.
  • JSON API: getinfo shows forwarding fees earnt as msatoshi_fees_collected.
  • Bitcoind: more parallelism in requests, for very slow nodes.
  • Testing: fixed logging, cleaner interception of bitcoind, minor fixes.
  • Protocol: we set and handle the new htlc_maximum_msat channel_update field.

Changed

  • Protocol: channel_update sent to disable channel only if we reject an HTLC.
  • Protocol: we don't send redundant node_announcement on every new channel.
  • Config: config file can override lightning-dir (makes sense with --conf).
  • Config: --conf option is now relative to current directory, not lightning-dir.
  • lightning-cli: help <cmd> prints basic information even if no man page found.
  • JSON API: getinfo now reports global statistics about forwarded payments, including total fees earned and amounts routed.

Deprecated

Note: You should always set allow-deprecated-apis=false to test for changes.

  • JSON RPC: listchannels' flags field. This has been split into two fields, see Added.
  • JSON RPC: global_features and local_features fields: use globalfeatures and localfeatures as per BOLT #1.

Removed

Fixed

  • Startup: more coherent complaint if daemon already running.
  • Lightningd: correctly save full HTLCs across restarts; fixup old databases.
  • JSON RPC: getinfo now shows correct Tor port.
  • JSON RPC: ping now works even after one peer fails to respond.
  • JSON RPC: getroute fuzzpercent and pay maxfeepercent can now be > 100.
  • JSON RPC: riskfactor in pay and getroute no longer always treated as 1.
  • JSON-RPC: listpeers was always reporting 0 for all stats.
  • JSON RPC: withdraw all says Cannot afford transaction if you have absolutely no funds, rather than Output 0 satoshis would be dust.
  • Protocol: don't send gossip about closed channels.
  • Protocol: fix occasional deadlock when both peers flood with gossip.
  • Protocol: fix occasional long delay on sending reply_short_channel_ids_end.
  • Protocol: re-send node_announcement when address/alias/color etc change.
  • Protocol: multiple HTLCs with the same payment_hash are handled correctly.
  • Options: 'autotor' defaults to port 9051 if not specified.

Security

0.6.1 - 2018-09-11: "Principled Opposition To Segwit"

This release named by ZmnSCPxj.

Added

  • Protocol: gossipd now deliberately delays spamming with channel_update.
  • Protocol: liveness ping when we commit changes but peer is idle: speeds up failures and reduces forced closures.
  • Protocol: option_data_loss_protect now supported to protect peers against being out-of-date.
  • JSON API: Added description to invoices and payments (#1740).
  • JSON API: getinfo has new fields alias and color.
  • JSON API: listpeers has new fields global_features and local_features.
  • JSON API: listnodes has new field global_features.
  • JSON API: ping command to send a ping to a connected peer.
  • JSON API: feerates command to retrieve current fee estimates.
  • JSON API: withdraw and fundchannel can be given manual feerate.
  • Config: --conf option to set config file.
  • Documentation: Added CHANGELOG.md
  • pylightning: RpcError now has method and payload fields.
  • Sending lightningd a SIGHUP will make it reopen its log-file, if any.

Changed

  • Protocol: Fee estimates are now smoothed over time, to avoid sudden jumps.
  • Config: You can only announce one address if each type (IPv4, IPv6, TORv2, TORv3).
  • lightning-cli: the help command for a specific command now runs the man command.
  • HSM: The HSM daemon now maintains the per-peer secrets, rather than handing them out. It's still lax in what it signs though.
  • connectd: A new daemon lightning_connectd handles connecting to/from peers, instead of gossipd doing that itself. lightning_openingd now handles peers immediately, even if they never actually open a channel.
  • Test: python-xdist is now a dependency for tests.
  • Logging: JSON connections no longer spam debug logs.
  • Routing: We no longer consider channels that are not usable either because of their capacity or their htlc_minimum_msat parameter (#1777)
  • We now try to connect to all known addresses for a peer, not just the one given or the first one announced.
  • Crash logs are now placed one-per file like crash.log.20180822233752
  • We will no longer allow withdrawing funds or funding channels if we do not have a fee estimate (eg. bitcoind not synced); use new feerate arg.

Deprecated

Removed

  • JSON API: listpeers results no long have alias and color fields; they're in listnodes (we used to internally merge the information).
  • JSON API: listpeers will never have state field (it accidentally used to exist and set to GOSSIPING before we opened a channel). connected will indicate if we're connected, and the channels array indicates individual channel states (if any).
  • Config: default-fee-rate is no longer available; use explicit feerate option if necessary.
  • Removed all Deprecated options from 0.6.

Fixed

  • Protocol: node_announcement multiple addresses are correctly ordered and uniquified.
  • Protocol: if we can't estimate feerate, be almost infinitely tolerant of other side setting fees to avoid unilateral close.
  • JSON API: listnodes: now displays node aliases and colors even if they don't advertise a network address
  • JSON API: fundchannel all: now restricts to 2^24-1 satoshis rather than failing.
  • JSON API: listnodes: now correctly prints addresses if more than one is advertised.
  • Config: bind-addr of a publicly accessible network address was announced.
  • When we reconnect and have to retransmit failing HTLCs, the errors weren't encrypted by us.
  • lightningd_config man page is now installed by make install.
  • Fixed crash when shutting down during opening a channel (#1737)
  • Don't lose track of our own output when applying penalty transaction (#1738)
  • Protocol: channel_update inside error messages now refers to correct channel.
  • Stripping type prefix from channel_updates that are nested in an onion reply to be compatible with eclair and lnd (#1730).
  • Failing tests no longer delete the test directory, to allow easier debugging (Issue: #1599)
