1 # 0.0.113 - Dec 16, 2022 - "Big Movement Intercepted"
4 * `ChannelManager::send_payment` now takes an explicit `PaymentId` which is a
5 loose idempotency token. See `send_payment` docs for more (#1761, #1826).
6 * HTLCs bound for SCIDs from `ChannelManager::get_intercept_scid` are now
7 intercepted and can be forwarded manually over any channel (#1835, #1893).
8 * `Confirm::get_relevant_txids` now returns a `BlockHash`, expanding the set
9 of cases where `transaction_unconfirmed` must be called, see docs (#1796).
10 * Pending outbound payments are no longer automatically timed-out a few blocks
11 after failure. Thus, in order to avoid leaking memory, you MUST call
12 `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` when you no longer wish to retry (#1761).
13 * `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` docs were updated to note that the payment
14 may return to pending after a restart if no persistence occurs (#1907).
15 * `Event::PaymentReceived` has been renamed `Event::PaymentClaimable` (#1891).
16 * `Event` handling is now optionally async for Rust users (#1787).
17 * `user_channel_id` is now a `u128` and random for inbound channels (#1790).
18 * A new `ChannelReady` event is generated whenever a channel becomes ready to
19 be used, i.e., after both sides sent the `channel_ready` message (#1743).
20 * `NetworkGraph` now prunes channels where either node is offline for 2 weeks
21 and refuses to accept re-announcements of pruned channels (#1735).
22 * Onion messages are now read in `CustomOnionMessageHandler` rather than via
23 `MaybeReadableArgs` (#1809).
24 * Added a new util to generate an invoice with a custom hash (#1894) -
25 `create_invoice_from_channelmanager_and_duration_since_epoch_with_payment_hash`
26 * `Sign`ers are now by default re-derived using `KeysInterface`'s new
27 `derive_channel_signer` rather than `read_chan_signer` (#1867).
28 * `Confirm::transactions_confirmed` is now idempotent (#1861).
29 * `ChannelManager::compute_inflight_htlcs` has been added to fetch in-flight
30 HTLCs for scoring. Note that `InvoicePayer` does this for you (#1830).
31 * Added `PaymentClaimable::via_channel_id` (#1856).
32 * Added the `node_id` (phantom or regular) to payment events (#1766).
33 * Added the funding transaction `confirmations` to `ChannelDetails` (#1856).
34 * `BlindedRoute` has been renamed `BlindedPath` (#1918).
35 * Support for the BOLT 4 "legacy" onion format has been removed, in line with
36 its removal in the spec and vanishingly rare use (#1413).
37 * `ChainMonitor::list_pending_monitor_updates` was added (#1834).
38 * Signing for non-zero-fee anchor commitments is supported again (#1828).
39 * Several helpers for transaction matching and generation are now pub (#1839).
42 * Fixed a rare race where a crash may result in a pending HTLC not being
43 failed backwards, leading to a force-closure by our counterparty (#1857).
44 * Avoid incorrectly assigning a lower-bound on channel liquidity when routing
45 fails due to a closed channel earlier in the path (#1817).
46 * If a counterparty increases the channel fee, but not enough per our own fee
47 estimator, we no longer force-close the channel (#1852).
48 * Several bugs in the `lightning-background-processor` `future` feature were
49 fixed, including requirements doc corrections (#1843, #1845, #1851).
50 * Some failure messages sent back when failing an HTLC were corrected (#1895).
51 * `rapid-gossip-sync` no longer errors if an update is applied duplicatively
52 or in rare cases when the graph is updated from payment failures (#1833).
53 * Sending onion messages to a blinded path in which we're the introduction
54 node no longer fails (#1791).
56 ## Backwards Compatibility
57 * No `ChannelReady` events will be generated for previously existing channels,
58 including those which become ready after upgrading to 0.0.113 (#1743).
59 * Once `UserConfig::accept_intercept_htlcs` is set, downgrades to LDK versions
60 prior to 0.0.113 are not supported (#1835).
61 * Existing payments may see a `PaymentClaimable::user_channel_id` of 0 (#1856)
62 * When downgrading to a version of LDK prior to 0.0.113 when there are
63 resolved payments waiting for a small timeout, the payments may not be
64 removed, preventing payments with the same `PaymentId` (#1761).

88 # 0.0.112 - Oct 25, 2022 - "History Matters"
91 * `Result<(), ChannelMonitorUpdateErr>` return values have been replaced with
92 a `ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus` trinary enum. This better denotes that
93 `ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus::InProgress` is not an error, but asynchronous
94 persistence of a monitor update. Note that asynchronous persistence still
95 has some edge cases and is not yet recommended for production (#1106).
96 * `ChannelMonitor` persistence failure no longer automatically broadcasts the
97 latest commitment transaction. See the
98 `ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus::PermanentFailure` docs for more info (#1106).
99 * `*Features::known` has been replaced with individual
100 `*MessageHandler::provided_*_features` methods (#1707).
101 * `OnionMessenger` now takes a `CustomOnionMessageHandler` implementation,
102 allowing you to send and receive custom onion messages (#1748).
103 * `ProbabilisticScorer` now tracks the historical distribution of liquidity
104 estimates for channels. See new `historical_*` parameters in
105 `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` for more details (#1625).
106 * `lightning-block-sync`'s `BlockSource` trait now supports BIP 157/158
107 filtering clients by returning only header data for some blocks (#1706).
108 * `lightning-invoice`'s `Router` trait now accepts an `InFlightHtlcs` to
109 ensure we do not over-use a remote channel's funds during routing (#1694).
110 Note that this was previously backported to 0.0.111 for bindings users.
111 * `NetworkGraph::remove_stale_channels` has been renamed
112 `NetworkGraph::remove_stale_channels_and_tracking` as `NetworkGraph` now
113 refuses to re-add nodes and channels that were recently removed (#1649).
114 * The `lightning-rapid-gossip-sync` crate now supports `no-std` (#1708).
115 * The default `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::liquidity_offset_half_life` has
116 been increased to six hours from one (#1754).
117 * All commitment transaction building logic for anchor outputs now assumes the
118 no-HTLC-tx-fee variant (#1685).
119 * A number of missing `Eq` implementations were added (#1763).
122 * `lightning-background-processor` now builds without error with the `futures`
124 * `ChannelManager::get_persistable_update_future`'s returned `Future` has been
125 corrected to not fail to be awoken in some cases (#1758).
126 * Asynchronously performing the initial `ChannelMonitor` persistence is now
128 * Redundantly applying rapid gossip sync updates no longer `Err`s (#1764).
129 * Nodes which inform us via payment failures that they should no longer be
130 used are now removed from the network graph. Some LND nodes spuriously
131 generate this error and may remove themselves from our graph (#1649).

149 # 0.0.111 - Sep 12, 2022 - "Saturated with Messages"
152 * Support for relaying onion messages has been added via a new
153 `OnionMessenger` struct when passed as the `OnionMessageHandler` to a
154 `PeerManager`. Pre-encoded onion messages can also be sent and received
155 (#1503, #1650, #1652, #1688).
156 * Rate-limiting of outbound gossip syncs has been rewritten to utilize less
157 buffering inside LDK. The new rate-limiting is also used for onion messages
158 to avoid delaying other messages (#1604. #1660, #1683).
159 * Rather than spawning a full OS thread, `lightning-background-processor` has
160 a new `process_events_async` method which takes the place of a
161 `BackgroundProcessor` for those using Rust's async (#1657).
162 * `ChannelManager::get_persistable_update_future` has been added to block on
163 a ChannelManager needing re-persistence in a Rust async environment (#1657).
164 * The `Filter::register_output` return value has been removed, as it was
165 very difficult to correctly implement (i.e., without blocking). Users
166 previously using it should instead pass dependent transactions in via
167 additional `chain::Confirm::transactions_confirmed` calls (#1663).
168 * `ChannelHandshakeConfig::their_channel_reserve_proportional_millionths` has
169 been added to allow configuring counterparty reserve values (#1619).
170 * `KeysInterface::ecdh` has been added as an ECDH oracle (#1503, #1658).
171 * The `rust-bitcoin` dependency has been updated 0.29 (#1658).
172 * The `bitcoin_hashes` dependency has been updated 0.11 (#1677).
173 * `ChannelManager::broadcast_node_announcement` has been moved to
174 `PeerManager` (#1699).
175 * `channel_` and `node_announcement`s are now rebroadcast automatically to all
176 new peers which connect (#1699).
177 * `{Init,Node}Features` sent to peers/broadcasted are now fetched via the
178 various `*MessageHandler` traits, rather than hard-coded (#1701, #1688).
179 * `Event::PaymentPathFailed::rejected_by_dest` has been renamed
180 `payment_failed_permanently` (#1702).
181 * `Invoice` now derives the std `Hash` trait (#1575).
182 * `{Signed,}RawInvoice::hash` have been renamed `signable_hash` (#1714).
183 * `chain::AccessError` now derives the std `Debug` trait (#1709).
184 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::list_{channels,nodes}` have been added largely for
185 users of downstream bindings (#1651).
186 * `ChannelMonitor::get_counterparty_node_id` is now available (#1635).
189 * The script compared with that returned from `chain::Access` was incorrect
190 ~half of the time, causing spurious gossip rejection (#1666).
191 * Pending in-flight HTLCs are now considered when calculating new routes,
192 ensuring, e.g. MPP retries do not take known-saturated paths (#1643).
193 * Counterparty-revoked outputs are now included in `get_claimable_balance`
194 output via a new `Balance::CounterpartyRevokedOutputClaimable` (#1495).
195 * Inbound HTLCs for which we do not (yet) have a preimage are now included in
196 `get_claimable_balance` via a `Balance::MaybePreimageClaimableHTLC` (#1673).
197 * Probes that fail prior to being sent over their first hop are correctly
198 failed with a `Event::ProbeFailed` rather than a `PaymentPathFailed` (#1704).
199 * Pending `Event::HTLCHandlingFailed`s are no longer lost on restart (#1700).
200 * HTLCs that fail prior to being sent over their first hop are now marked as
201 retryable via `!PaymentPathFailed::payment_failed_permanently` (#1702).
202 * Dust HTLCs are now considered failed in the payment tracking logic after the
203 commitment transaction confirms, allowing retry on restart (#1691).
204 * On machines with buggy "monotonic" clocks, LDK will no longer panic if time
205 goes backwards (#1692).
207 ## Backwards Compatibility
208 * The new `current_time` argument to `PeerManager` constructors must be set to
209 a UNIX timestamp for upgraded nodes; new nodes may use a counter (#1699).
210 * `Balance::CounterpartyRevokedOutputClaimable` will never be generated for
211 channels that were observed to go on-chain with LDK versions prior to
213 * `ChannelMonitor::get_counterparty_node_id` will return `None` for all
214 channels opened on a version of LDK prior to 0.0.110 (#1635).
215 * Setting `their_channel_reserve_proportional_millionths` to any value other
216 than the default will cause LDK versions prior to 0.0.104 to be unable to
217 read the serialized `ChannelManager` (#1619).
220 0.0.111 fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability which is reachable from
221 untrusted input in deployments accepting 0conf channels, or via a race-condition
222 in deployments creating outbound 0conf channels.
224 * LDK versions prior to 0.0.111 may spuriously panic when receiving a block if
225 they are awaiting the construction of a funding transaction for a 0-conf
226 channel (#1711). 0-conf support was added in LDK version 0.0.107.

243 # 0.0.110 - 2022-07-26 - "Routing, With a Vengeance"
246 * `ChannelManager::send_probe` and `Score::probe_{failed,successful}` have
247 been added to make probing more explicit, as well as new
248 `Event::Probe{Failed,Successful}` events (#1567).
249 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::banned_nodes` has been renamed
250 `manual_node_penalties` and changed to take msat penalties (#1592).
251 * Per-payment tracking of failed paths was added to enable configuration of
252 `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::considered_impossible_penalty_msat` (#1600)
253 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::base_penalty_amount_multiplier_msat` was
254 added to allow a penalty that is only amount-dependent (#1617).
255 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::amount_penalty_multiplier_msat` was renamed
256 `liquidity_penalty_amount_multiplier_msat` (#1617).
257 * A new `Event::HTLCHandlingFailed` has been added which provides visibility
258 into failures to forward/claim accepted HTLCs (#1403).
259 * Support has been added for DNS hostnames in the `NetAddress` type, see
260 [BOLT PR #911](https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/911) (#1553).
261 * `GossipSync` now has `rapid`, `p2p`, and `none` constructors (#1618).
262 * `lightning-net-tokio` no longer requires types to be in `Arc`s (#1623).
263 * The `htlc_maximum_msat` field is now required in `ChannelUpdate` gossip
264 messages. In tests this rejects < 1% of channels (#1519).
265 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::{channel,node}` have been added to query for
266 individual channel/node data, primarily for bindings users (#1543).
267 * `FeeEstimator` implementations are now wrapped internally to ensure values
268 below 253 sats/kW are never used (#1552).
269 * Route selection no longer attempts to randomize path selection. This is
270 unlikely to lead to a material change in the paths selected (#1610).
273 * Fixed a panic when deserializing `ChannelDetails` objects (#1588).
274 * When routing, channels are no longer fully saturated before MPP splits are
275 generated, instead a configuration knob was added as
276 `PaymentParameters::max_channel_saturation_power_of_half` (#1605).
277 * Fixed a panic which occurred in `ProbabilisticScorer` when wallclock time
278 goes backwards across a restart (#1603).
280 ## Serialization Compatibility
281 * All new fields are ignored by prior versions of LDK. All new fields are not
282 present when reading objects serialized by prior versions of LDK.
283 * Channel information written in the `NetworkGraph` which is missing
284 `htlc_maximum_msat` may be dropped on deserialization (#1519).
285 * Similarly, node information written in the `NetworkGraph` which contains an
286 invalid hostname may be dropped on deserialization (#1519).

300 # 0.0.109 - 2022-07-01 - "The Kitchen Sink"
303 * `ChannelManager::update_channel_config` has been added to allow the fields
304 in `ChannelConfig` to be changed in a given channel after open (#1527).
305 * If we reconnect to a peer which proves we have a stale channel state, rather
306 than force-closing we will instead panic to provide an opportunity to switch
307 to the latest state and continue operating without channel loss (#1564).
308 * A `NodeAlias` struct has been added which handles string sanitization for
309 node aliases via the `Display` trait (#1544).
310 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now has a `banned_nodes` set which we will
311 never route through during path finding (#1550).
312 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now offers an `anti_probing_penalty_msat`
313 option to prefer channels which afford better privacy when routing (#1555).
314 * `ProbabilisticScorer` now provides access to its estimated liquidity range
315 for a given channel via `estimated_channel_liquidity_range` (#1549).
316 * `ChannelManager::force_close_channel` has been renamed
317 `force_close_broadcasting_latest_txn` and
318 `force_close_without_broadcasting_txn` has been added (#1564).
319 * Options which cannot be changed at runtime have been moved from
320 `ChannelConfig` to `ChannelHandshakeConfig` (#1529).
321 * `find_route` takes `&NetworkGraph` instead of `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph (#1583).
322 * `ChannelDetails` now contains a copy of the current `ChannelConfig` (#1527).
323 * The `lightning-invoice` crate now optionally depends on `serde`, with
324 `Invoice` implementing `serde::{Deserialize,Serialize}` if enabled (#1548).
325 * Several fields in `UserConfig` have been renamed for clarity (#1540).
328 * `find_route` no longer selects routes with more than
329 `PaymentParameters::max_mpp_path_count` paths, and
330 `ChannelManager::send_payment` no longer refuses to send along routes with
331 more than ten paths (#1526).
332 * Fixed two cases where HTLCs pending at the time a counterparty broadcasts a
333 revoked commitment transaction are considered resolved prior to their actual
334 resolution on-chain, possibly passing the update to another channel (#1486).
335 * HTLCs which are relayed through LDK may now have a total expiry time two
336 weeks in the future, up from one, reducing forwarding failures (#1532).
338 ## Serialization Compatibility
339 * All new fields are ignored by prior versions of LDK. All new fields are not
340 present when reading objects serialized by prior versions of LDK.
341 * `ChannelConfig`'s serialization format has changed and is not compatible
342 with any previous version of LDK. Attempts to read values written by a
343 previous version of LDK will fail and attempts to read newly written objects
344 using a previous version of LDK will fail. It is not expected that users are
345 serializing `ChannelConfig` using the LDK serialization API, however, if a
346 backward compatibility wrapper is required, please open an issue.
349 0.0.109 fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability which is reachable from
350 untrusted input in some application deployments.
352 * Third parties which are allowed to open channels with an LDK-based node may
353 fund a channel with a bogus and maliciously-crafted transaction which, when
354 spent, can cause a panic in the channel's corresponding `ChannelMonitor`.
355 Such a channel is never usable as it cannot be funded with a funding
356 transaction which matches the required output script, allowing the
357 `ChannelMonitor` for such channels to be safely purged as a workaround on
358 previous versions of LDK. Thanks to Eugene Siegel for reporting this issue.

385 # 0.0.107 - 2022-06-08 - "BlueWallet's Wishlist"
388 * Channels larger than 16777215 sats (Wumbo!) are now supported and can be
389 enabled for inbound channels using
390 `ChannelHandshakeLimits::max_funding_satoshis` (#1425).
391 * Support for feature `option_zeroconf`, allowing immediate forwarding of
392 payments after channel opening. This is configured for outbound channels
393 using `ChannelHandshakeLimits::trust_own_funding_0conf` whereas
394 `ChannelManager::accept_inbound_channel_from_trusted_peer_0conf` has to be
395 used for accepting inbound channels (#1401, #1505).
396 * `ChannelManager::claim_funds` no longer returns a `bool` to indicate success.
397 Instead, an `Event::PaymentClaimed` is generated if the claim was successful.
398 Likewise, `ChannelManager::fail_htlc_backwards` no longer has a return value
400 * `lightning-rapid-gossip-sync` is a new crate for syncing gossip data from a
401 server, primarily aimed at mobile devices (#1155).
402 * `RapidGossipSync` can be passed to `BackgroundProcessor` in order to persist
403 the `NetworkGraph` and handle `NetworkUpdate`s during event handling (#1433,
405 * `NetGraphMsgHandler` has been renamed to `P2PGossipSync`, the `network_graph`
406 module has been renamed to `gossip`, and `NetworkUpdate::ChannelClosed` has
407 been renamed `NetworkUpdate::ChannelFailure` (#1159).
408 * Added a `filtered_block_connected` method to `chain::Listen` and a default
409 implementation of `block_connected` for those fetching filtered instead of
411 * The `lightning-block-sync` crate's `BlockSource` trait methods now take
412 `&self` instead of `&mut self` (#1307).
413 * `inbound_payment` module is now public to allow for creating invoices without
414 a `ChannelManager` (#1384).
415 * `lightning-block-sync`'s `init` and `poll` modules support `&dyn BlockSource`
416 which can be determined at runtime (#1423).
417 * `lightning-invoice` crate's `utils` now accept an expiration time (#1422,
419 * `Event::PaymentForwarded` includes `prev_channel_id` and `next_channel_id`
421 * `chain::Watch::release_pending_monitor_events`' return type now associates
422 `MonitorEvent`s with funding `OutPoints` (#1475).
423 * `lightning-background-processor` crate's `Persister` trait has been moved to
424 `lightning` crate's `util::persist` module, which now has a general
425 `KVStorePersister` trait. Blanket implementations of `Persister` and
426 `chainmonitor::Persist` are given for types implementing `KVStorePersister`.
427 ` lightning-persister`'s `FilesystemPersister` implements `KVStorePersister`
429 * `ChannelDetails` and `ChannelCounterparty` include fields for HTLC minimum
430 and maximum values (#1378).
431 * Added a `max_inbound_htlc_value_in_flight_percent_of_channel` field to
432 `ChannelHandshakeConfig`, capping the total value of outstanding inbound
433 HTLCs for a channel (#1444).
434 * `ProbabilisticScorer` is parameterized by a `Logger`, which it uses to log
435 channel liquidity updates or lack thereof (#1405).
436 * `ChannelDetails` has an `outbound_htlc_limit_msat` field, which should be
437 used in routing instead of `outbound_capacity_msat` (#1435).
438 * `ProbabilisticScorer`'s channel liquidities can be logged via
439 `debug_log_liquidity_stats` (#1460).
440 * `BackgroundProcessor` now takes an optional `WriteableScore` which it will
441 persist using the `Persister` trait's new `persist_scorer` method (#1416).
442 * Upgraded to `bitcoin` crate version 0.28.1 (#1389).
443 * `ShutdownScript::new_witness_program` now takes a `WitnessVersion` instead of
444 a `NonZeroU8` (#1389).
445 * Channels will no longer be automatically force closed when the counterparty
446 is disconnected due to incompatibility (#1429).
447 * `ChannelManager` methods for funding, accepting, and closing channels now
448 take a `counterparty_node_id` parameter, which has also been added as a field
449 to `Event::FundingGenerationReady` (#1479, #1485).
450 * `InvoicePayer::new` now takes a `Retry` enum (replacing the `RetryAttempts`
451 struct), which supports both attempt- and timeout-based retrying (#1418).
452 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` takes a `ChannelUsage` struct, which contains
453 the capacity as an `EffectiveCapacity` enum and any potential in-flight HTLC
454 value, rather than a single `u64`. Used by `ProbabilisticScorer` for more
455 accurate penalties (#1456).
456 * `build_route_from_hops` is a new function useful for constructing a `Route`
457 given a specific list of public keys (#1491).
458 * `FundingLocked` message has been renamed `ChannelReady`, and related
459 identifiers have been renamed accordingly (#1506).
460 * `core2::io` or `std::io` (depending on feature flags `no-std` or `std`) is
461 exported as a `lightning::io` module (#1504).
462 * The deprecated `Scorer` has been removed in favor or `ProbabilisticScorer`
465 ## Performance Improvements
466 * `lightning-persister` crate's `FilesystemPersister` is faster by 15x (#1404).
467 * Log gossip query messages at `GOSSIP` instead of `TRACE` to avoid
468 overwhelming default logging (#1421).
469 * `PeerManager` supports processing messages from different peers in parallel,
470 and this is taken advantage of in gossip processing (#1023).
471 * Greatly reduced per-channel and per-node memory usage due to upgrade of
472 `secp256k1` crate to 0.22.1 and `bitcoin` crate to 0.28.1
473 * Reduced per-peer memory usage in `PeerManager` (#1472).
476 * `find_route` now assumes variable-length onions by default for nodes where
477 support for the feature is unknown (#1414).
478 * A `warn` message is now sent when receiving a `channel_reestablish` with an
479 old commitment transaction number rather than immediately force-closing the
481 * When a `channel_update` message is included in an onion error's `failuremsg`,
482 its message type is now encoded. Reading such messages is also supported
486 * Fixed a bug where crashing while persisting a `ChannelMonitorUpdate` for a
487 part of a multi-path payment could cause loss of funds due to a partial
488 payment claim on restart (#1434).
489 * `BackgroundProcessor` has been fixed to improve serialization reliability on
490 slow systems which can avoid force-closes (#1436).
491 * `gossip_timestamp_filter` filters are now honored when sending gossip to
493 * During a reorg, only force-close a channel if its funding transaction is
494 unconfirmed rather than as it loses confirmations (#1461).
495 * Fixed a rare panic in `lightning-net-tokio` when fetching a peer's socket
496 address after the connection has been closed caused by a race condition
498 * `find_route` will no longer return routes that would cause onion construction
499 to fail in some cases (#1476).
500 * `ProbabilisticScorer` uses more precision when approximating `log10` (#1406).
502 ## Serialization Compatibility
503 * All above new events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
504 events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
505 versions of the library.
506 * `ChannelManager` serialization is no longer compatible with versions prior to
508 * Channels with `option_zeroconf` feature enabled (not required for 0-conf
509 channel use) will be unreadable by versions prior to 0.0.107 (#1401, #1505).

533 # 0.0.106 - 2022-04-03
536 * Minimum supported rust version (MSRV) is now 1.41.1 (#1310).
537 * Lightning feature `option_scid_alias` is now supported and may be negotiated
538 when opening a channel with a peer. It can be configured via
539 `ChannelHandshakeConfig::negotiate_scid_privacy` and is off by default but
540 will be on by default in the future (#1351).
541 * `OpenChannelRequest` now has a `channel_type` field indicating the features
542 the channel will operate with and should be used to filter channels with
543 undesirable features (#1351). See the Serialization Compatibility section.
544 * `ChannelManager` supports sending and receiving short channel id aliases in
545 the `funding_locked` message. These are used when forwarding payments and
546 constructing invoice route hints for improved privacy. `ChannelDetails` has a
547 `inbound_scid_alias` field and a `get_inbound_payment_scid` method to support
549 * `DefaultRouter` and `find_route` take an additional random seed to improve
550 privacy by adding a random CLTV expiry offset to each path's final hop. This
551 helps obscure the intended recipient from adversarial intermediate hops
552 (#1286). The seed is also used to randomize candidate paths during route
554 * The `lightning-block-sync` crate's `init::synchronize_listeners` method
555 interface has been relaxed to support multithreaded environments (#1349).
556 * `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment_for_hash`'s documentation has been
557 corrected to remove the one-year restriction on `invoice_expiry_delta_secs`,
558 which is only applicable to the deprecated `create_inbound_payment_legacy`
559 and `create_inbound_payment_for_hash_legacy` methods (#1341).
560 * `Features` mutator methods now take `self` by reference instead of by value
562 * The CLTV of the last hop in a path is now included when comparing against
563 `RouteParameters::max_total_cltv_expiry_delta` (#1358).
564 * Invoice creation functions in `lightning-invoice` crate's `utils` module
565 include versions that accept a description hash instead of only a description
567 * `RoutingMessageHandler::sync_routing_table` has been renamed `peer_connected`
569 * `MessageSendEvent::SendGossipTimestampFilter` has been added to indicate that
570 a `gossip_timestamp_filter` should be sent (#1368).
571 * `PeerManager` takes an optional `NetAddress` in `new_outbound_connection` and
572 `new_inbound_connection`, which is used to report back the remote address to
573 the connecting peer in the `init` message (#1326).
574 * `ChannelManager::accept_inbound_channel` now takes a `user_channel_id`, which
575 is used in a similar manner as in outbound channels. (#1381).
576 * `BackgroundProcessor` now persists `NetworkGraph` on a timer and upon
577 shutdown as part of a new `Persister` trait, which also includes
578 `ChannelManager` persistence (#1376).
579 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now has a `base_penalty_msat` option, which
580 default to 500 msats. It is applied at each hop to help avoid longer paths
582 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::liquidity_penalty_multiplier_msat`'s default
583 value is now 40,000 msats instead of 10,000 msats (#1375).
584 * The `lightning` crate has a `grind_signatures` feature used to produce
585 signatures with low r-values for more predictable transaction weight. This
586 feature is on by default (#1388).
587 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now has a `amount_penalty_multiplier_msat`
588 option, which is used to further penalize large amounts (#1399).
589 * `PhantomRouteHints`, `FixedPenaltyScorer`, and `ScoringParameters` now
590 implement `Clone` (#1346).
593 * Fixed a compilation error in `ProbabilisticScorer` under `--feature=no-std`
595 * Invoice creation functions in `lightning-invoice` crate's `utils` module
596 filter invoice hints in order to limit the invoice size (#1325).
597 * Fixed a bug where a `funding_locked` message was delayed by a block if the
598 funding transaction was confirmed while offline, depending on the ordering
599 of `Confirm::transactions_confirmed` calls when brought back online (#1363).
600 * Fixed a bug in `NetGraphMsgHandler` where it didn't continue to receive
601 gossip messages from peers after initial connection (#1368, #1382).
602 * `ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred` will now timeout a received multi-path
603 payment (MPP) after three ticks if not received in full instead of waiting
604 until near the HTLC timeout block(#1353).
605 * Fixed an issue with `find_route` causing it to be overly aggressive in using
606 MPP over channels to the same first hop (#1370).
607 * Reduced time spent processing `channel_update` messages by checking
608 signatures after checking if no newer messages have already been processed
610 * Fixed a few issues in `find_route` which caused preferring paths with a
612 * Fixed an issue in `ProbabilisticScorer` where a channel with not enough
613 liquidity could still be used when retrying a failed payment if it was on a
614 path with an overall lower cost (#1399).
616 ## Serialization Compatibility
617 * Channels open with `option_scid_alias` negotiated will be incompatible with
618 prior releases (#1351). This may occur in the following cases:
619 * Outbound channels when `ChannelHandshakeConfig::negotiate_scid_privacy` is
621 * Inbound channels when automatically accepted from an `OpenChannel` message
622 with a `channel_type` that has `ChannelTypeFeatures::supports_scid_privacy`
623 return true. See `UserConfig::accept_inbound_channels`.
624 * Inbound channels when manually accepted from an `OpenChannelRequest` with a
625 `channel_type` that has `ChannelTypeFeatures::supports_scid_privacy` return
626 true. See `UserConfig::manually_accept_inbound_channels`.

643 # 0.0.105 - 2022-02-28
646 * `Phantom node` payments are now supported, allowing receipt of a payment on
647 any one of multiple nodes without any coordination across the nodes being
648 required. See the new `PhantomKeysManager`'s docs for more, as well as
649 requirements on `KeysInterface::get_inbound_payment_key_material` and
650 `lightning_invoice::utils::create_phantom_invoice` (#1199).
651 * In order to support phantom node payments, several `KeysInterface` methods
652 now accept a `Recipient` parameter to select between the local `node_id` and
653 a phantom-specific one.
654 * `ProbabilisticScorer`, a `Score` based on learning the current balances of
655 channels in the network, was added. It attempts to better capture payment
656 success probability than the existing `Scorer`, though may underperform on
657 nodes with low payment volume. We welcome feedback on performance (#1227).
658 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` now always takes the channel value, instead of
660 * `UserConfig::manually_accept_inbound_channels` was added which, when set,
661 generates a new `Event::OpenChannelRequest`, which allows manual acceptance
662 or rejection of incoming channels on a per-channel basis (#1281).
663 * `Payee` has been renamed to `PaymentParameters` (#1271).
664 * `PaymentParameters` now has a `max_total_cltv_expiry_delta` field. This
665 defaults to 1008 and limits the maximum amount of time an HTLC can be pending
666 before it will either fail or be claimed (#1234).
667 * The `lightning-invoice` crate now supports no-std environments. This required
668 numerous API changes around timestamp handling and std+no-std versions of
669 several methods that previously assumed knowledge of the time (#1223, #1230).
670 * `lightning-invoice` now supports parsing invoices with expiry times of more
671 than one year. This required changing the semantics of `ExpiryTime` (#1273).
672 * The `CounterpartyCommitmentSecrets` is now public, allowing external uses of
673 the `BOLT 3` secret storage scheme (#1299).
674 * Several `Sign` methods now receive HTLC preimages as proof of state
675 transition, see new documentation for more (#1251).
676 * `KeysInterface::sign_invoice` now provides the HRP and other invoice data
677 separately to make it simpler for external signers to parse (#1272).
678 * `Sign::sign_channel_announcement` now returns both the node's signature and
679 the per-channel signature. `InMemorySigner` now requires the node's secret
680 key in order to implement this (#1179).
681 * `ChannelManager` deserialization will now fail if the `KeysInterface` used
682 has a different `node_id` than the `ChannelManager` expects (#1250).
683 * A new `ErrorAction` variant was added to send `warning` messages (#1013).
684 * Several references to `chain::Listen` objects in `lightning-block-sync` no
685 longer require a mutable reference (#1304).
688 * Fixed a regression introduced in 0.0.104 where `ChannelManager`'s internal
689 locks could have an order violation leading to a deadlock (#1238).
690 * Fixed cases where slow code (including user I/O) could cause us to
691 disconnect peers with ping timeouts in `BackgroundProcessor` (#1269).
692 * Now persist the `ChannelManager` prior to `BackgroundProcessor` stopping,
693 preventing race conditions where channels are closed on startup even with a
694 clean shutdown. This requires that users stop network processing and
695 disconnect peers prior to `BackgroundProcessor` shutdown (#1253).
696 * Fields in `ChannelHandshakeLimits` provided via the `override_config` to
697 `create_channel` are now applied instead of the default config (#1292).
698 * Fixed the generation of documentation on docs.rs to include API surfaces
699 which are hidden behind feature flags (#1303).
700 * Added the `channel_type` field to `accept_channel` messages we send, which
701 may avoid some future compatibility issues with other nodes (#1314).
702 * Fixed a bug where, if a previous LDK run using `lightning-persister` crashed
703 while persisting updated data, we may have failed to initialize (#1332).
704 * Fixed a rare bug where having both pending inbound and outbound HTLCs on a
705 just-opened inbound channel could cause `ChannelDetails::balance_msat` to
706 underflow and be reported as large, or cause panics in debug mode (#1268).
707 * Moved more instances of verbose gossip logging from the `Trace` level to the
708 `Gossip` level (#1220).
709 * Delayed `announcement_signatures` until the channel has six confirmations,
710 slightly improving propagation of channel announcements (#1179).
711 * Several fixes in script and transaction weight calculations when anchor
712 outputs are enabled (#1229).
714 ## Serialization Compatibility
715 * Using `ChannelManager` data written by versions prior to 0.0.105 will result
716 in preimages for HTLCs that were pending at startup to be missing in calls
717 to `KeysInterface` methods (#1251).
718 * Any phantom invoice payments received on a node that is not upgraded to
719 0.0.105 will fail with an "unknown channel" error. Further, downgrading to
720 0.0.104 or before and then upgrading again will invalidate existing phantom
721 SCIDs which may be included in invoices (#1199).
724 0.0.105 fixes two denial-of-service vulnerabilities which may be reachable from
725 untrusted input in certain application designs.
727 * Route calculation spuriously panics when a routing decision is made for a
728 path where the second-to-last hop is a private channel, included due to a
729 multi-hop route hint in an invoice.
730 * `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` spuriously panics in some scenarios
731 when the LDK application's local commitment transaction is confirmed while
732 HTLCs are still pending resolution.

753 # 0.0.104 - 2021-12-17
756 * A `PaymentFailed` event is now provided to indicate a payment has failed
757 fully. This event is generated either after
758 `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` is called for a given payment, or the
759 payment times out, and there are no further pending HTLCs for the payment.
760 This event should be used to detect payment failure instead of
761 `PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed`, unless no payment retries occur via
762 `ChannelManager::retry_payment` (#1202).
763 * Payment secrets are now generated deterministically using material from
764 the new `KeysInterface::get_inbound_payment_key_material` (#1177).
765 * A `PaymentPathSuccessful` event has been added to ease passing success info
766 to a scorer, along with a `Score::payment_path_successful` method to accept
767 such info (#1178, #1197).
768 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` has additional arguments describing the
769 channel's capacity and the HTLC amount being sent over the channel (#1166).
770 * A new log level `Gossip` has been added, which is used for verbose
771 information generated during network graph sync. Enabling the
772 `max_level_trace` feature or ignoring `Gossip` log entries reduces log
773 growth during initial start up from many GiB to several MiB (#1145).
774 * The `allow_wallclock_use` feature has been removed in favor of only using
775 the `std` and `no-std` features (#1212).
776 * `NetworkGraph` can now remove channels that we haven't heard updates for in
777 two weeks with `NetworkGraph::remove_stale_channels{,with_time}`. The first
778 is called automatically if a `NetGraphMsgHandler` is passed to
779 `BackgroundProcessor::start` (#1212).
780 * `InvoicePayer::pay_pubkey` was added to enable sending "keysend" payments to
781 supported recipients, using the `InvoicePayer` to handle retires (#1160).
782 * `user_payment_id` has been removed from `PaymentPurpose`, and
783 `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}` (#1180).
784 * Updated documentation for several `ChannelManager` functions to remove stale
785 references to panics which no longer occur (#1201).
786 * The `Score` and `LockableScore` objects have moved into the
787 `routing::scoring` module instead of being in the `routing` module (#1166).
788 * The `Time` parameter to `ScorerWithTime` is no longer longer exposed,
789 instead being fixed based on the `std`/`no-std` feature (#1184).
790 * `ChannelDetails::balance_msat` was added to fetch a channel's balance
791 without subtracting the reserve values, lining up with on-chain claim amounts
792 less on-chain fees (#1203).
793 * An explicit `UserConfig::accept_inbound_channels` flag is now provided,
794 removing the need to set `min_funding_satoshis` to > 21 million BTC (#1173).
795 * Inbound channels that fail to see the funding transaction confirm within
796 2016 blocks are automatically force-closed with
797 `ClosureReason::FundingTimedOut` (#1083).
798 * We now accept a channel_reserve value of 0 from counterparties, as it is
799 insecure for our counterparty but not us (#1163).
800 * `NetAddress::OnionV2` parsing was removed as version 2 onion services are no
801 longer supported in modern Tor (#1204).
802 * Generation and signing of anchor outputs is now supported in the
803 `KeysInterface`, though no support for them exists in the channel itself (#1176)
806 * Fixed a race condition in `InvoicePayer` where paths may be retried after
807 the retry count has been exceeded. In this case the
808 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` field is not a reliable payment
809 failure indicator. There was no acceptable alternative indicator,
810 `Event::PaymentFailed` as been added to provide one (#1202).
811 * Reduced the blocks-before-timeout we expect of outgoing HTLCs before
812 refusing to forward. This check was overly strict and resulted in refusing
813 to forward som HTLCs to a next hop that had a lower security threshold than
815 * LDK no longer attempt to update the channel fee for outbound channels when
816 we cannot afford the new fee. This could have caused force-closure by our
817 channel counterparty (#1054).
818 * Fixed several bugs which may have prevented the reliable broadcast of our
819 own channel announcements and updates (#1169).
820 * Fixed a rare bug which may have resulted in spurious route finding failures
821 when using last-hop hints and MPP with large value payments (#1168).
822 * `KeysManager::spend_spendable_outputs` no longer adds a change output that
823 is below the dust threshold for non-standard change scripts (#1131).
824 * Fixed a minor memory leak when attempting to send a payment that fails due
825 to an error when updating the `ChannelMonitor` (#1143).
826 * Fixed a bug where a `FeeEstimator` that returns values rounded to the next
827 sat/vbyte may result in force-closures (#1208).
828 * Handle MPP timeout HTLC error codes, instead of considering the recipient to
829 have sent an invalid error, removing them from the network graph (#1148)
831 ## Serialization Compatibility
832 * All above new events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
833 events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
834 versions of the library.
835 * Payment secrets are now generated deterministically. This reduces the memory
836 footprint for inbound payments, however, newly-generated inbound payments
837 using `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}` will not be
838 receivable using versions prior to 0.0.104.
839 `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}_legacy` are provided for
840 backwards compatibility (#1177).
841 * `PaymentPurpose::InvoicePayment::user_payment_id` will be 0 when reading
842 objects written with 0.0.104 when read by 0.0.103 and previous (#1180).

857 # 0.0.103 - 2021-11-02
860 * This release is almost entirely focused on a new API in the
861 `lightning-invoice` crate - the `InvoicePayer`. `InvoicePayer` is a
862 struct which takes a reference to a `ChannelManager` and a `Router`
863 and retries payments as paths fail. It limits retries to a configurable
864 number, but is not serialized to disk and may retry additional times across
865 a serialization/load. In order to learn about failed payments, it must
866 receive `Event`s directly from the `ChannelManager`, wrapping a
867 user-provided `EventHandler` which it provides all unhandled events to
869 * `get_route` has been renamed `find_route` (#1059) and now takes a
870 `RouteParameters` struct in replacement of a number of its long list of
871 arguments (#1134). The `Payee` in the `RouteParameters` is stored in the
872 `Route` object returned and provided in the `RouteParameters` contained in
873 `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1059).
874 * `ChannelMonitor`s must now be persisted after calls that provide new block
875 data, prior to `MonitorEvent`s being passed back to `ChannelManager` for
876 processing. If you are using a `ChainMonitor` this is handled for you.
877 The `Persist` API has been updated to `Option`ally take the
878 `ChannelMonitorUpdate` as persistence events that result from chain data no
879 longer have a corresponding update (#1108).
880 * `routing::Score` now has a `payment_path_failed` method which it can use to
881 learn which channels often fail payments. It is automatically called by
882 `InvoicePayer` for failed payment paths (#1144).
883 * The default `Scorer` implementation is now a type alias to a type generic
884 across different clocks and supports serialization to persist scoring data
885 across restarts (#1146).
886 * `Event::PaymentSent` now includes the full fee which was spent across all
887 payment paths which were fulfilled or pending when the payment was fulfilled
889 * `Event::PaymentSent` and `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now include the
890 `PaymentId` which matches the `PaymentId` returned from
891 `ChannelManager::send_payment` or `InvoicePayer::pay_invoice` (#1059).
892 * `NetGraphMsgHandler` now takes a `Deref` to the `NetworkGraph`, allowing for
893 shared references to the graph data to make serialization and references to
894 the graph data in the `InvoicePayer`'s `Router` simpler (#1149).
895 * `routing::Score::channel_penalty_msat` has been updated to provide the
896 `NodeId` of both the source and destination nodes of a channel (#1133).
899 * Previous versions would often disconnect peers during initial graph sync due
900 to ping timeouts while processing large numbers of gossip messages. We now
901 delay disconnecting peers if we receive messages from them even if it takes
902 a while to receive a pong from them. Further, we avoid sending too many
903 gossip messages between pings to ensure we should always receive pongs in a
904 timely manner (#1137).
905 * If a payment was sent, creating an outbound HTLC and sending it to our
906 counterparty (implying the `ChannelMonitor` was persisted on disk), but the
907 `ChannelManager` was not persisted prior to shutdown/crash, no
908 `Event::PaymentPathFailed` event was generated if the HTLC was eventually
909 failed on chain. Events are now consistent irrespective of `ChannelManager`
910 persistence or non-persistence (#1104).
912 ## Serialization Compatibility
913 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
914 Events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
915 versions of the library.
916 * Payments for which a `Route` was generated using a previous version or for
917 which the payment was originally sent by a previous version of the library
918 will not be retried by an `InvoicePayer`.

929 # 0.0.102 - 2021-10-18
932 * `get_route` now takes a `Score` as an argument. `Score` is queried during
933 the route-finding process, returning the absolute amounts which you are
934 willing to pay to avoid routing over a given channel. As a default, a
935 `Scorer` is provided which returns a constant amount, with a suggested
936 default of 500 msat. This translates to a willingness to pay up to 500 msat
937 in additional fees per hop in order to avoid additional hops (#1124).
938 * `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now contains a `short_channel_id` field which may
939 be filled in with a channel that can be "blamed" for the payment failure.
940 Payment retries should likely avoid the given channel for some time (#1077).
941 * `PublicKey`s in `NetworkGraph` have been replaced with a `NodeId` struct
942 which contains only a simple `[u8; 33]`, substantially improving
943 `NetworkGraph` deserialization performance (#1107).
944 * `ChainMonitor`'s `HashMap` of `ChannelMonitor`s is now private, exposed via
945 `Chainmonitor::get_monitor` and `ChainMonitor::list_monitors` instead
947 * When an outbound channel is closed prior to the broadcasting of its funding
948 transaction, but after you call
949 `ChannelManager::funding_transaction_generated`, a new event type,
950 `Event::DiscardFunding`, is generated, informing you the transaction was not
951 broadcasted and that you can spend the same inputs again elsewhere (#1098).
952 * `ChannelManager::create_channel` now returns the temporary channel ID which
953 may later appear in `Event::ChannelClosed` or `ChannelDetails` prior to the
954 channel being funded (#1121).
955 * `Event::PaymentSent` now contains the payment hash as well as the payment
957 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::get_addresses` now returns owned `NetAddress` rather
958 than references. As a side-effect this method is now exposed in foreign
959 language bindings (#1115).
960 * The `Persist` and `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr` types have moved to the
961 `lightning::chain::chainmonitor` and `lightning::chain` modules,
962 respectively (#1112).
963 * `ChannelManager::send_payment` now returns a `PaymentId` which identifies a
964 payment (whether MPP or not) and can be used to retry the full payment or
965 MPP parts through `retry_payment` (#1096). Note that doing so is currently
966 *not* crash safe, and you may find yourself sending twice. It is recommended
967 that you *not* use the `retry_payment` API until the next release.
970 * Due to an earlier fix for the Lightning dust inflation vulnerability tracked
971 in CVE-2021-41591/CVE-2021-41592/CVE-2021-41593 in 0.0.100, we required
972 counterparties to accept a dust limit slightly lower than the dust limit now
973 required by other implementations. This appeared as, at least, latest lnd
974 always refusing to accept channels opened by LDK clients (#1065).
975 * If there are multiple channels available to the same counterparty,
976 `get_route` would only consider the channel listed last as available for
978 * `Persist` implementations returning
979 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` from `watch_channel` previously
980 resulted in the `ChannelMonitor` not being stored at all, resulting in a
981 panic after monitor updating is complete (#1112).
982 * If payments are pending awaiting forwarding at startup, an
983 `Event::PendingHTLCsForwardable` event will always be provided. This ensures
984 user code calls `ChannelManager::process_pending_htlc_fowards` even if it
985 shut down while awaiting the batching timer during the previous run (#1076).
986 * If a call to `ChannelManager::send_payment` failed due to lack of
987 availability of funds locally, LDK would store the payment as pending
988 forever, with no ability to retry or fail it, leaking memory (#1109).
990 ## Serialization Compatibility
991 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
992 Events/fields, except for `Event::PaymentSent::payment_hash` are not present
993 when reading objects serialized by prior versions of the library.

1007 # 0.0.101 - 2021-09-23
1010 * Custom message types are now supported directly in the `PeerManager`,
1011 allowing you to send and receive messages of any type that is not natively
1012 understood by LDK. This requires a new type bound on `PeerManager`, a
1013 `CustomMessageHandler`. `IgnoringMessageHandler` provides a simple default
1014 for this new bound for ignoring unknown messages (#1031, #1074).
1015 * Route graph updates as a result of failed payments are no longer provided as
1016 `MessageSendEvent::PaymentFailureNetworkUpdate` but instead included in a
1017 new field in the `Event::PaymentFailed` events. Generally, this means route
1018 graph updates are no longer handled as a part of the `PeerManager` but
1019 instead through the new `EventHandler` implementation for
1020 `NetGraphMsgHandler`. To make this easy, a new parameter to
1021 `lightning-background-processor::BackgroundProcessor::start` is added, which
1022 contains an `Option`al `NetGraphmsgHandler`. If provided as `Some`, relevant
1023 events will be processed by the `NetGraphMsgHandler` prior to normal event
1025 * `NetworkGraph` is now, itself, thread-safe. Accordingly, most functions now
1026 take `&self` instead of `&mut self` and the graph data can be accessed
1027 through `NetworkGraph.read_only` (#1043).
1028 * The balances available on-chain to claim after a channel has been closed are
1029 now exposed via `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` and
1030 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`. The second can be used to get
1031 information about all closed channels which still have on-chain balances
1032 associated with them. See enum variants of `ln::channelmonitor::Balance` and
1033 method documentation for the above methods for more information on the types
1034 of balances exposed (#1034).
1035 * When one HTLC of a multi-path payment fails, the new field `all_paths_failed`
1036 in `Event::PaymentFailed` is set to `false`. This implies that the payment
1037 has not failed, but only one part. Payment resolution is only indicated by an
1038 `Event::PaymentSent` event or an `Event::PaymentFailed` with
1039 `all_paths_failed` set to `true`, which is also set for the last remaining
1040 part of a multi-path payment (#1053).
1041 * To better capture the context described above, `Event::PaymentFailed` has
1042 been renamed to `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1084).
1043 * A new event, `ChannelClosed`, is provided by `ChannelManager` when a channel
1044 is closed, including a reason and error message (if relevant, #997).
1045 * `lightning-invoice` now considers invoices with sub-millisatoshi precision
1046 to be invalid, and requires millisatoshi values during construction (thus
1047 you must call `amount_milli_satoshis` instead of `amount_pico_btc`, #1057).
1048 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes two new hooks which provide additional
1049 information about commitment transaction signatures and revocation secrets
1050 provided by our counterparty, allowing additional verification (#1039).
1051 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes additional information for cooperative
1052 close transactions, making it easier for a signer to verify requests (#1064).
1053 * `Route` has two additional helper methods to get fees and amounts (#1063).
1054 * `Txid` and `Transaction` objects can now be deserialized from responses when
1055 using the HTTP client in the `lightning-block-sync` crate (#1037, #1061).
1058 * Fix a panic when reading a lightning invoice with a non-recoverable
1059 signature. Further, restrict lightning invoice parsing to require payment
1060 secrets and better handle a few edge cases as required by BOLT 11 (#1057).
1061 * Fix a panic when receiving multiple messages (such as HTLC fulfill messages)
1062 after a call to `chain::Watch::update_channel` returned
1063 `Err(ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure)` with no
1064 `ChannelManager::channel_monitor_updated` call in between (#1066).
1065 * For multi-path payments, `Event::PaymentSent` is no longer generated
1066 multiple times, once for each independent part (#1053).
1067 * Multi-hop route hints in invoices are now considered in the default router
1068 provided via `get_route` (#1040).
1069 * The time peers have to respond to pings has been increased when building
1070 with debug assertions enabled. This avoids peer disconnections on slow hosts
1071 when running in debug mode (#1051).
1072 * The timeout for the first byte of a response for requests from the
1073 `lightning-block-sync` crate has been increased to 300 seconds to better
1074 handle the long hangs in Bitcoin Core when it syncs to disk (#1090).
1076 ## Serialization Compatibility
1077 * Due to a bug in 0.0.100, `Event`s written by 0.0.101 which are of a type not
1078 understood by 0.0.100 may lead to `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` or corrupt
1079 deserialized objects in 0.100. Such `Event`s will lead to an
1080 `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` in versions prior to 0.0.100. The only such
1081 new event written by 0.0.101 is `Event::ChannelClosed` (#1087).
1082 * Payments that were initiated in versions prior to 0.0.101 may still
1083 generate duplicate `PaymentSent` `Event`s or may have spurious values for
1084 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` (#1053).
1085 * The return values of `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` (and, thus,
1086 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`) may be spurious for channels where
1087 the spend of the funding transaction appeared on chain while running a
1088 version prior to 0.0.101. `Balance` information should only be relied upon
1089 for channels that were closed while running 0.0.101+ (#1034).
1090 * Payments failed while running versions prior to 0.0.101 will never have a
1091 `Some` for the `network_update` field (#1043).

1109 # 0.0.100 - 2021-08-17 - "Oh, so *that's* what's going on inside the box"
1112 * The `lightning` crate can now be built in no_std mode, making it easy to
1113 target embedded hardware for rust users. Note that mutexes are replaced with
1114 no-ops for such builds (#1008, #1028).
1115 * LDK now supports sending and receiving "keysend" payments. This includes
1116 modifications to `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentReceived` to
1117 indicate the type of payment (#967).
1118 * A new variant, `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentForwarded` has been
1119 added which indicates a forwarded payment has been successfully claimed and
1120 we've received a forwarding fee (#1004).
1121 * `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_pubkey` has
1122 been renamed to `get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`, returns a script, and is now
1123 called on channel open only if
1124 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
1126 * Closing-signed negotiation is now more configurable, with an explicit
1127 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::force_close_avoidance_max_fee_satoshis`
1128 field allowing you to select the maximum amount you are willing to pay to
1129 avoid a force-closure. Further, we are now less restrictive on the fee
1130 placed on the closing transaction when we are not the party paying it. To
1131 control the feerate paid on a channel at close-time, use
1132 `ChannelManager::close_channel_with_target_feerate` instead of
1133 `close_channel` (#1011).
1134 * `lightning_background_processor::BackgroundProcessor` now stops the
1135 background thread when dropped (#1007). It is marked `#[must_use]` so that
1136 Rust users will receive a compile-time warning when it is immediately
1137 dropped after construction (#1029).
1138 * Total potential funds burn on force-close due to dust outputs is now limited
1139 to `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::max_dust_htlc_exposure_msat` per
1141 * The interval on which
1142 `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager::timer_tick_occurred` should be
1143 called has been reduced to once every five seconds (#1035) and
1144 `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred` should
1145 now be called on startup in addition to once per minute (#985).
1146 * The rust-bitcoin and bech32 dependencies have been updated to their
1147 respective latest versions (0.27 and 0.8, #1012).
1150 * Fix panic when reading invoices generated by some versions of c-lightning
1152 * Fix panic when attempting to validate a signed message of incorrect length
1154 * Do not ignore the route hints in invoices when the invoice is over 250k
1156 * Fees are automatically updated on outbound channels to ensure commitment
1157 transactions are always broadcastable (#985).
1158 * Fixes a rare case where a `lightning::util::events::Event::SpendableOutputs`
1159 event is not generated after a counterparty commitment transaction is
1160 confirmed in a reorg when a conflicting local commitment transaction is
1161 removed in the same reorg (#1022).
1162 * Fixes a remotely-triggerable force-closure of an origin channel after an
1163 HTLC was forwarded over a next-hop channel and the next-hop channel was
1164 force-closed by our counterparty (#1025).
1165 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when sending a payment as a channel fundee
1166 when overdrawing our remaining balance. Instead the send will fail (#998).
1167 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when a payment was claimed prior to a
1168 peer disconnection or restart, and later failed (#977).
1170 ## Serialization Compatibility
1171 * Pending inbound keysend payments which have neither been failed nor claimed
1172 when serialized will result in a `ChannelManager` which is not readable on
1173 pre-0.0.100 clients (#967).
1175 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`
1176 has been updated to return a script instead of only a `PublicKey`,
1177 `ChannelManager`s constructed with custom `KeysInterface` implementations on
1178 0.0.100 and later versions will not be readable on previous versions.
1179 `ChannelManager`s created with 0.0.99 and prior versions will remain readable
1180 even after the a serialization roundtrip on 0.0.100, as long as no new
1181 channels are opened. Further, users using a
1182 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysManager` as their `KeysInterface` will
1183 have `ChannelManager`s which are readable on prior versions as well (#1019).
1184 * `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s created by 0.0.100 and later for channels when
1185 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
1186 not set may not be readable by versions prior to 0.0.100 (#1019).
1187 * HTLCs which were in the process of being claimed on-chain when a pre-0.0.100
1188 `ChannelMonitor` was serialized may generate `PaymentForwarded` events with
1189 spurious `fee_earned_msat` values. This only applies to payments which were
1190 unresolved at the time of the upgrade (#1004).
1191 * 0.0.100 clients with pending `Event::PaymentForwarded` events at
1192 serialization-time will generate serialized `ChannelManager` objects which
1193 0.0.99 and earlier clients cannot read. The likelihood of this can be reduced
1194 by ensuring you process all pending events immediately before serialization
1195 (as is done by the `lightning-background-processor` crate, #1004).
1198 In total, this release features 59 files changed, 5861 insertions, and 2082
1199 deletions in 95 commits from 6 authors.
1202 # 0.0.99 - 2021-07-09 - "It's a Bugz Life"
1206 * `lightning_block_sync::poll::Validate` is now public, allowing you to
1207 implement the `lightning_block_sync::poll::Poll` trait without
1208 `lightning_block_sync::poll::ChainPoller` (#956).
1209 * `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager` no longer requires that no calls
1210 are made to referencing the same `SocketDescriptor` after
1211 `disconnect_socket` returns. This makes the API significantly less
1212 deadlock-prone and simplifies `SocketDescriptor` implementations
1213 significantly. The relevant changes have been made to `lightning_net_tokio`
1214 and `PeerManager` documentation has been substantially rewritten (#957).
1215 * `lightning::util::message_signing`'s `sign` and `verify` methods now take
1216 secret and public keys by reference instead of value (#974).
1217 * Substantially more information is now exposed about channels in
1218 `ChannelDetails`. See documentation for more info (#984 and #988).
1219 * The latest best block seen is now exposed in
1220 `ChannelManager::current_best_block` and
1221 `ChannelMonitor::current_best_block` (#984).
1222 * Feerates charged when forwarding payments over channels is now set in
1223 `ChannelConfig::fee_base_msat` when the channel is opened. For existing
1224 channels, the value is set to the value provided in
1225 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config::channel_options` the first time the
1226 `ChannelManager` is loaded in 0.0.99 (#975).
1227 * We now reject HTLCs which are received to be forwarded over private channels
1228 unless `UserConfig::accept_forwards_to_priv_channels` is set. Note that
1229 `UserConfig` is never serialized and must be provided via
1230 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config` at each start (#975).
1234 * We now forward gossip messages to peers instead of only relaying
1235 locally-generated gossip or sending gossip messages during initial sync
1237 * Correctly send `channel_update` messages to direct peers on private channels
1238 (#949). Without this, a private node connected to an LDK node over a private
1239 channel cannot receive funds as it does not know which fees the LDK node
1241 * `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager` no longer expects to be
1242 persisted spuriously after we receive a `channel_update` message about any
1243 channel in the routing gossip (#972).
1244 * Asynchronous `ChannelMonitor` updates (using the
1245 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` return variant) no longer cause
1246 spurious HTLC forwarding failures (#954).
1247 * Transaction provided via `ChannelMonitor::transactions_confirmed`
1248 after `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` was called for a much later
1249 block now trigger all relevant actions as of the later block. Previously
1250 some transaction broadcasts or other responses required an additional
1251 block be provided via `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` (#970).
1252 * We no longer panic in rare cases when an invoice contained last-hop route
1253 hints which were unusable (#958).
1255 ## Node Compatibility
1257 * We now accept spurious `funding_locked` messages sent prior to
1258 `channel_reestablish` messages after reconnect. This is a
1259 [known, long-standing bug in lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/4006)
1261 * We now set the `first_blocknum` and `number_of_blocks` fields in
1262 `reply_channel_range` messages to values which c-lightning versions prior to
1263 0.10 accepted. This avoids spurious force-closes from such nodes (#961).
1265 ## Serialization Compatibility
1267 * Due to a bug discovered in 0.0.98, if a `ChannelManager` is serialized on
1268 version 0.0.98 while an `Event::PaymentSent` is pending processing, the
1269 `ChannelManager` will fail to deserialize both on version 0.0.98 and later
1270 versions. If you have such a `ChannelManager` available, a simple patch will
1271 allow it to deserialize. Please file an issue if you need assistance (#973).
1273 # 0.0.98 - 2021-06-11 - "It's ALIVVVVEEEEEEE"
1275 0.0.98 should be considered a release candidate to the first alpha release of
1276 Rust-Lightning and the broader LDK. It represents several years of work
1277 designing and fine-tuning a flexible API for integrating lightning into any
1278 application. LDK should make it easy to build a lightning node or client which
1279 meets specific requirements that other lightning node software cannot. As
1280 lightning continues to evolve, and new use-cases for lightning develop, the API
1281 of LDK will continue to change and expand. However, starting with version 0.1,
1282 objects serialized with prior versions will be readable with the latest LDK.
1283 While Rust-Lightning is approaching the 0.1 milestone, language bindings
1284 components of LDK available at https://github.com/lightningdevkit are still of
1285 varying quality. Some are also approaching an 0.1 release, while others are
1286 still much more experimental. Please note that, at 0.0.98, using Rust-Lightning
1287 on mainnet is *strongly* discouraged.
