4 * `get_route` now takes a `Score` as an argument. `Score` is queried during
5 the route-finding process, returning the absolute amounts which you are
6 willing to pay to avoid routing over a given channel. As a default, a
7 `Scorer` is provided which returns a constant amount, with a suggested
8 default of 500 msat. This translates to a willingness to pay up to 500 msat
9 in additional fees per hop in order to avoid additional hops (#1124).
10 * `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now contains a `short_channel_id` field which may
11 be filled in with a channel that can be "blamed" for the payment failure.
12 Payment retries should likely avoid the given channel for some time (#1077).
13 * `PublicKey`s in `NetworkGraph` have been replaced with a `NodeId` struct
14 which contains only a simple `[u8; 33]`, substantially improving
15 `NetworkGraph` deserialization performance (#1107).
16 * `ChainMonitor`'s `HashMap` of `ChannelMonitor`s is now private, exposed via
17 `Chainmonitor::get_monitor` and `ChainMonitor::list_monitors` instead
19 * When an outbound channel is closed prior to the broadcasting of its funding
20 transaction, but after you call
21 `ChannelManager::funding_transaction_generated`, a new event type,
22 `Event::DiscardFunding`, is generated, informing you the transaction was not
23 broadcasted and that you can spend the same inputs again elsewhere (#1098).
24 * `ChannelManager::create_channel` now returns the temporary channel ID which
25 may later appear in `Event::ChannelClosed` or `ChannelDetails` prior to the
26 channel being funded (#1121).
27 * `Event::PaymentSent` now contains the payment hash as well as the payment
29 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::get_addresses` now returns owned `NetAddress` rather
30 than references. As a side-effect this method is now exposed in foreign
31 language bindings (#1115).
32 * The `Persist` and `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr` types have moved to the
33 `lightning::chain::chainmonitor` and `lightning::chain` modules,
35 * `ChannelManager::send_payment` now returns a `PaymentId` which identifies a
36 payment (whether MPP or not) and can be used to retry the full payment or
37 MPP parts through `retry_payment` (#1096). Note that doing so is currently
38 *not* crash safe, and you may find yourself sending twice. It is recommended
39 that you *not* use the `retry_payment` API until the next release.
42 * Due to an earlier fix for the Lightning dust inflation vulnerability tracked
43 in CVE-2021-41591/CVE-2021-41592/CVE-2021-41593 in 0.0.100, we required
44 counterparties to accept a dust limit slightly lower than the dust limit now
45 required by other implementations. This appeared as, at least, latest lnd
46 always refusing to accept channels opened by LDK clients (#1065).
47 * If there are multiple channels available to the same counterparty,
48 `get_route` would only consider the channel listed last as available for
50 * `Persist` implementations returning
51 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` from `watch_channel` previously
52 resulted in the `ChannelMonitor` not being stored at all, resulting in a
53 panic after monitor updating is complete (#1112).
54 * If payments are pending awaiting forwarding at startup, an
55 `Event::PendingHTLCsForwardable` event will always be provided. This ensures
56 user code calls `ChannelManager::process_pending_htlc_fowards` even if it
57 shut down while awaiting the batching timer during the previous run (#1076).
58 * If a call to `ChannelManager::send_payment` failed due to lack of
59 availability of funds locally, LDK would store the payment as pending
60 forever, with no ability to retry or fail it, leaking memory (#1109).
62 ## Serialization Compatibility
63 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
64 Events/fields, except for `Event::PaymentSent::payment_hash` are not present
65 when reading objects serialized by prior versions of the library.

68 deletions in 51 commits from 7 authors, in alphabetical order:
79 # 0.0.101 - 2021-09-23
82 * Custom message types are now supported directly in the `PeerManager`,
83 allowing you to send and receive messages of any type that is not natively
84 understood by LDK. This requires a new type bound on `PeerManager`, a
85 `CustomMessageHandler`. `IgnoringMessageHandler` provides a simple default
86 for this new bound for ignoring unknown messages (#1031, #1074).
87 * Route graph updates as a result of failed payments are no longer provided as
88 `MessageSendEvent::PaymentFailureNetworkUpdate` but instead included in a
89 new field in the `Event::PaymentFailed` events. Generally, this means route
90 graph updates are no longer handled as a part of the `PeerManager` but
91 instead through the new `EventHandler` implementation for
92 `NetGraphMsgHandler`. To make this easy, a new parameter to
93 `lightning-background-processor::BackgroundProcessor::start` is added, which
94 contains an `Option`al `NetGraphmsgHandler`. If provided as `Some`, relevant
95 events will be processed by the `NetGraphMsgHandler` prior to normal event
97 * `NetworkGraph` is now, itself, thread-safe. Accordingly, most functions now
98 take `&self` instead of `&mut self` and the graph data can be accessed
99 through `NetworkGraph.read_only` (#1043).
100 * The balances available on-chain to claim after a channel has been closed are
101 now exposed via `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` and
102 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`. The second can be used to get
103 information about all closed channels which still have on-chain balances
104 associated with them. See enum variants of `ln::channelmonitor::Balance` and
105 method documentation for the above methods for more information on the types
106 of balances exposed (#1034).
107 * When one HTLC of a multi-path payment fails, the new field `all_paths_failed`
108 in `Event::PaymentFailed` is set to `false`. This implies that the payment
109 has not failed, but only one part. Payment resolution is only indicated by an
110 `Event::PaymentSent` event or an `Event::PaymentFailed` with
111 `all_paths_failed` set to `true`, which is also set for the last remaining
112 part of a multi-path payment (#1053).
113 * To better capture the context described above, `Event::PaymentFailed` has
114 been renamed to `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1084).
115 * A new event, `ChannelClosed`, is provided by `ChannelManager` when a channel
116 is closed, including a reason and error message (if relevant, #997).
117 * `lightning-invoice` now considers invoices with sub-millisatoshi precision
118 to be invalid, and requires millisatoshi values during construction (thus
119 you must call `amount_milli_satoshis` instead of `amount_pico_btc`, #1057).
120 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes two new hooks which provide additional
121 information about commitment transaction signatures and revocation secrets
122 provided by our counterparty, allowing additional verification (#1039).
123 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes additional information for cooperative
124 close transactions, making it easier for a signer to verify requests (#1064).
125 * `Route` has two additional helper methods to get fees and amounts (#1063).
126 * `Txid` and `Transaction` objects can now be deserialized from responses when
127 using the HTTP client in the `lightning-block-sync` crate (#1037, #1061).
130 * Fix a panic when reading a lightning invoice with a non-recoverable
131 signature. Further, restrict lightning invoice parsing to require payment
132 secrets and better handle a few edge cases as required by BOLT 11 (#1057).
133 * Fix a panic when receiving multiple messages (such as HTLC fulfill messages)
134 after a call to `chain::Watch::update_channel` returned
135 `Err(ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure)` with no
136 `ChannelManager::channel_monitor_updated` call in between (#1066).
137 * For multi-path payments, `Event::PaymentSent` is no longer generated
138 multiple times, once for each independent part (#1053).
139 * Multi-hop route hints in invoices are now considered in the default router
140 provided via `get_route` (#1040).
141 * The time peers have to respond to pings has been increased when building
142 with debug assertions enabled. This avoids peer disconnections on slow hosts
143 when running in debug mode (#1051).
144 * The timeout for the first byte of a response for requests from the
145 `lightning-block-sync` crate has been increased to 300 seconds to better
146 handle the long hangs in Bitcoin Core when it syncs to disk (#1090).
148 ## Serialization Compatibility
149 * Due to a bug in 0.0.100, `Event`s written by 0.0.101 which are of a type not
150 understood by 0.0.100 may lead to `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` or corrupt
151 deserialized objects in 0.100. Such `Event`s will lead to an
152 `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` in versions prior to 0.0.100. The only such
153 new event written by 0.0.101 is `Event::ChannelClosed` (#1087).
154 * Payments that were initiated in versions prior to 0.0.101 may still
155 generate duplicate `PaymentSent` `Event`s or may have spurious values for
156 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` (#1053).
157 * The return values of `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` (and, thus,
158 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`) may be spurious for channels where
159 the spend of the funding transaction appeared on chain while running a
160 version prior to 0.0.101. `Balance` information should only be relied upon
161 for channels that were closed while running 0.0.101+ (#1034).
162 * Payments failed while running versions prior to 0.0.101 will never have a
163 `Some` for the `network_update` field (#1043).
165 In total, this release features 67 files changed, 4980 insertions, 1888
166 deletions in 89 commits from 12 authors, in alphabetical order:
174 * Sergi Delgado Segura
181 # 0.0.100 - 2021-08-17
184 * The `lightning` crate can now be built in no_std mode, making it easy to
185 target embedded hardware for rust users. Note that mutexes are replaced with
186 no-ops for such builds (#1008, #1028).
187 * LDK now supports sending and receiving "keysend" payments. This includes
188 modifications to `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentReceived` to
189 indicate the type of payment (#967).
190 * A new variant, `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentForwarded` has been
191 added which indicates a forwarded payment has been successfully claimed and
192 we've received a forwarding fee (#1004).
193 * `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_pubkey` has
194 been renamed to `get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`, returns a script, and is now
195 called on channel open only if
196 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
198 * Closing-signed negotiation is now more configurable, with an explicit
199 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::force_close_avoidance_max_fee_satoshis`
200 field allowing you to select the maximum amount you are willing to pay to
201 avoid a force-closure. Further, we are now less restrictive on the fee
202 placed on the closing transaction when we are not the party paying it. To
203 control the feerate paid on a channel at close-time, use
204 `ChannelManager::close_channel_with_target_feerate` instead of
205 `close_channel` (#1011).
206 * `lightning_background_processor::BackgroundProcessor` now stops the
207 background thread when dropped (#1007). It is marked `#[must_use]` so that
208 Rust users will receive a compile-time warning when it is immediately
209 dropped after construction (#1029).
210 * Total potential funds burn on force-close due to dust outputs is now limited
211 to `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::max_dust_htlc_exposure_msat` per
213 * The interval on which
214 `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager::timer_tick_occurred` should be
215 called has been reduced to once every five seconds (#1035) and
216 `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred` should
217 now be called on startup in addition to once per minute (#985).
218 * The rust-bitcoin and bech32 dependencies have been updated to their
219 respective latest versions (0.27 and 0.8, #1012).
222 * Fix panic when reading invoices generated by some versions of c-lightning
224 * Fix panic when attempting to validate a signed message of incorrect length
226 * Do not ignore the route hints in invoices when the invoice is over 250k
228 * Fees are automatically updated on outbound channels to ensure commitment
229 transactions are always broadcastable (#985).
230 * Fixes a rare case where a `lightning::util::events::Event::SpendableOutputs`
231 event is not generated after a counterparty commitment transaction is
232 confirmed in a reorg when a conflicting local commitment transaction is
233 removed in the same reorg (#1022).
234 * Fixes a remotely-triggerable force-closure of an origin channel after an
235 HTLC was forwarded over a next-hop channel and the next-hop channel was
236 force-closed by our counterparty (#1025).
237 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when sending a payment as a channel fundee
238 when overdrawing our remaining balance. Instead the send will fail (#998).
239 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when a payment was claimed prior to a
240 peer disconnection or restart, and later failed (#977).
242 ## Serialization Compatibility
243 * Pending inbound keysend payments which have neither been failed nor claimed
244 when serialized will result in a `ChannelManager` which is not readable on
245 pre-0.0.100 clients (#967).
247 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`
248 has been updated to return a script instead of only a `PublicKey`,
249 `ChannelManager`s constructed with custom `KeysInterface` implementations on
250 0.0.100 and later versions will not be readable on previous versions.
251 `ChannelManager`s created with 0.0.99 and prior versions will remain readable
252 even after the a serialization roundtrip on 0.0.100, as long as no new
253 channels are opened. Further, users using a
254 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysManager` as their `KeysInterface` will
255 have `ChannelManager`s which are readable on prior versions as well (#1019).
256 * `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s created by 0.0.100 and later for channels when
257 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
258 not set may not be readable by versions prior to 0.0.100 (#1019).
259 * HTLCs which were in the process of being claimed on-chain when a pre-0.0.100
260 `ChannelMonitor` was serialized may generate `PaymentForwarded` events with
261 spurious `fee_earned_msat` values. This only applies to payments which were
262 unresolved at the time of the upgrade (#1004).
263 * 0.0.100 clients with pending `Event::PaymentForwarded` events at
264 serialization-time will generate serialized `ChannelManager` objects which
265 0.0.99 and earlier clients cannot read. The likelihood of this can be reduced
266 by ensuring you process all pending events immediately before serialization
267 (as is done by the `lightning-background-processor` crate, #1004).
270 In total, this release features 59 files changed, 5861 insertions, and 2082
271 deletions in 95 commits from 6 authors.
274 # 0.0.99 - 2021-07-09
278 * `lightning_block_sync::poll::Validate` is now public, allowing you to
279 implement the `lightning_block_sync::poll::Poll` trait without
280 `lightning_block_sync::poll::ChainPoller` (#956).
281 * `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager` no longer requires that no calls
282 are made to referencing the same `SocketDescriptor` after
283 `disconnect_socket` returns. This makes the API significantly less
284 deadlock-prone and simplifies `SocketDescriptor` implementations
285 significantly. The relevant changes have been made to `lightning_net_tokio`
286 and `PeerManager` documentation has been substantially rewritten (#957).
287 * `lightning::util::message_signing`'s `sign` and `verify` methods now take
288 secret and public keys by reference instead of value (#974).
289 * Substantially more information is now exposed about channels in
290 `ChannelDetails`. See documentation for more info (#984 and #988).
291 * The latest best block seen is now exposed in
292 `ChannelManager::current_best_block` and
293 `ChannelMonitor::current_best_block` (#984).
294 * Feerates charged when forwarding payments over channels is now set in
295 `ChannelConfig::fee_base_msat` when the channel is opened. For existing
296 channels, the value is set to the value provided in
297 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config::channel_options` the first time the
298 `ChannelManager` is loaded in 0.0.99 (#975).
299 * We now reject HTLCs which are received to be forwarded over private channels
300 unless `UserConfig::accept_forwards_to_priv_channels` is set. Note that
301 `UserConfig` is never serialized and must be provided via
302 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config` at each start (#975).
306 * We now forward gossip messages to peers instead of only relaying
307 locally-generated gossip or sending gossip messages during initial sync
309 * Correctly send `channel_update` messages to direct peers on private channels
310 (#949). Without this, a private node connected to an LDK node over a private
311 channel cannot receive funds as it does not know which fees the LDK node
313 * `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager` no longer expects to be
314 persisted spuriously after we receive a `channel_update` message about any
315 channel in the routing gossip (#972).
316 * Asynchronous `ChannelMonitor` updates (using the
317 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` return variant) no longer cause
318 spurious HTLC forwarding failures (#954).
319 * Transaction provided via `ChannelMonitor::transactions_confirmed`
320 after `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` was called for a much later
321 block now trigger all relevant actions as of the later block. Previously
322 some transaction broadcasts or other responses required an additional
323 block be provided via `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` (#970).
324 * We no longer panic in rare cases when an invoice contained last-hop route
325 hints which were unusable (#958).
327 ## Node Compatibility
329 * We now accept spurious `funding_locked` messages sent prior to
330 `channel_reestablish` messages after reconnect. This is a
331 [known, long-standing bug in lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/4006)
333 * We now set the `first_blocknum` and `number_of_blocks` fields in
334 `reply_channel_range` messages to values which c-lightning versions prior to
335 0.10 accepted. This avoids spurious force-closes from such nodes (#961).
337 ## Serialization Compatibility
339 * Due to a bug discovered in 0.0.98, if a `ChannelManager` is serialized on
340 version 0.0.98 while an `Event::PaymentSent` is pending processing, the
341 `ChannelManager` will fail to deserialize both on version 0.0.98 and later
342 versions. If you have such a `ChannelManager` available, a simple patch will
343 allow it to deserialize. Please file an issue if you need assistance (#973).
345 # 0.0.98 - 2021-06-11
347 0.0.98 should be considered a release candidate to the first alpha release of
348 Rust-Lightning and the broader LDK. It represents several years of work
349 designing and fine-tuning a flexible API for integrating lightning into any
350 application. LDK should make it easy to build a lightning node or client which
351 meets specific requirements that other lightning node software cannot. As
352 lightning continues to evolve, and new use-cases for lightning develop, the API
353 of LDK will continue to change and expand. However, starting with version 0.1,
354 objects serialized with prior versions will be readable with the latest LDK.
355 While Rust-Lightning is approaching the 0.1 milestone, language bindings
356 components of LDK available at https://github.com/lightningdevkit are still of
357 varying quality. Some are also approaching an 0.1 release, while others are
358 still much more experimental. Please note that, at 0.0.98, using Rust-Lightning
359 on mainnet is *strongly* discouraged.
