1 # 0.0.111 - Sep 12, 2022 - "Saturated with Messages"
4 * Support for relaying onion messages has been added via a new
5 `OnionMessenger` struct when passed as the `OnionMessageHandler` to a
6 `PeerManager`. Pre-encoded onion messages can also be sent and received
7 (#1503, #1650, #1652, #1688).
8 * Rate-limiting of outbound gossip syncs has been rewritten to utilize less
9 buffering inside LDK. The new rate-limiting is also used for onion messages
10 to avoid delaying other messages (#1604. #1660, #1683).
11 * Rather than spawning a full OS thread, `lightning-background-processor` has
12 a new `process_events_async` method which takes the place of a
13 `BackgroundProcessor` for those using Rust's async (#1657).
14 * `ChannelManager::get_persistable_update_future` has been added to block on
15 a ChannelManager needing re-persistence in a Rust async environment (#1657).
16 * The `Filter::register_output` return value has been removed, as it was
17 very difficult to correctly implement (i.e., without blocking). Users
18 previously using it should instead pass dependent transactions in via
19 additional `chain::Confirm::transactions_confirmed` calls (#1663).
20 * `ChannelHandshakeConfig::their_channel_reserve_proportional_millionths` has
21 been added to allow configuring counterparty reserve values (#1619).
22 * `KeysInterface::ecdh` has been added as an ECDH oracle (#1503, #1658).
23 * The `rust-bitcoin` dependency has been updated 0.29 (#1658).
24 * The `bitcoin_hashes` dependency has been updated 0.11 (#1677).
25 * `ChannelManager::broadcast_node_announcement` has been moved to
26 `PeerManager` (#1699).
27 * `channel_` and `node_announcement`s are now rebroadcast automatically to all
28 new peers which connect (#1699).
29 * `{Init,Node}Features` sent to peers/broadcasted are now fetched via the
30 various `*MessageHandler` traits, rather than hard-coded (#1701, #1688).
31 * `Event::PaymentPathFailed::rejected_by_dest` has been renamed
32 `payment_failed_permanently` (#1702).
33 * `Invoice` now derives the std `Hash` trait (#1575).
34 * `{Signed,}RawInvoice::hash` have been renamed `signable_hash` (#1714).
35 * `chain::AccessError` now derives the std `Debug` trait (#1709).
36 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::list_{channels,nodes}` have been added largely for
37 users of downstream bindings (#1651).
38 * `ChannelMonitor::get_counterparty_node_id` is now available (#1635).
41 * The script compared with that returned from `chain::Access` was incorrect
42 ~half of the time, causing spurious gossip rejection (#1666).
43 * Pending in-flight HTLCs are now considered when calculating new routes,
44 ensuring, e.g. MPP retries do not take known-saturated paths (#1643).
45 * Counterparty-revoked outputs are now included in `get_claimable_balance`
46 output via a new `Balance::CounterpartyRevokedOutputClaimable` (#1495).
47 * Inbound HTLCs for which we do not (yet) have a preimage are now included in
48 `get_claimable_balance` via a `Balance::MaybePreimageClaimableHTLC` (#1673).
49 * Probes that fail prior to being sent over their first hop are correctly
50 failed with a `Event::ProbeFailed` rather than a `PaymentPathFailed` (#1704).
51 * Pending `Event::HTLCHandlingFailed`s are no longer lost on restart (#1700).
52 * HTLCs that fail prior to being sent over their first hop are now marked as
53 retryable via `!PaymentPathFailed::payment_failed_permanently` (#1702).
54 * Dust HTLCs are now considered failed in the payment tracking logic after the
55 commitment transaction confirms, allowing retry on restart (#1691).
56 * On machines with buggy "monotonic" clocks, LDK will no longer panic if time
57 goes backwards (#1692).
59 ## Backwards Compatibility
60 * The new `current_time` argument to `PeerManager` constructors must be set to
61 a UNIX timestamp for upgraded nodes; new nodes may use a counter (#1699).
62 * `Balance::CounterpartyRevokedOutputClaimable` will never be generated for
63 channels that were observed to go on-chain with LDK versions prior to
65 * `ChannelMonitor::get_counterparty_node_id` will return `None` for all
66 channels opened on a version of LDK prior to 0.0.110 (#1635).
67 * Setting `their_channel_reserve_proportional_millionths` to any value other
68 than the default will cause LDK versions prior to 0.0.104 to be unable to
69 read the serialized `ChannelManager` (#1619).
72 0.0.111 fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability which is reachable from
73 untrusted input in deployments accepting 0conf channels, or via a race-condition
74 in deployments creating outbound 0conf channels.
76 * LDK versions prior to 0.0.111 may spuriously panic when receiving a block if
77 they are awaiting the construction of a funding transaction for a 0-conf
78 channel (#1711). 0-conf support was added in LDK version 0.0.107.

95 # 0.0.110 - 2022-07-26 - "Routing, With a Vengeance"
98 * `ChannelManager::send_probe` and `Score::probe_{failed,successful}` have
99 been added to make probing more explicit, as well as new
100 `Event::Probe{Failed,Successful}` events (#1567).
101 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::banned_nodes` has been renamed
102 `manual_node_penalties` and changed to take msat penalties (#1592).
103 * Per-payment tracking of failed paths was added to enable configuration of
104 `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::considered_impossible_penalty_msat` (#1600)
105 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::base_penalty_amount_multiplier_msat` was
106 added to allow a penalty that is only amount-dependent (#1617).
107 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::amount_penalty_multiplier_msat` was renamed
108 `liquidity_penalty_amount_multiplier_msat` (#1617).
109 * A new `Event::HTLCHandlingFailed` has been added which provides visibility
110 into failures to forward/claim accepted HTLCs (#1403).
111 * Support has been added for DNS hostnames in the `NetAddress` type, see
112 [BOLT PR #911](https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/911) (#1553).
113 * `GossipSync` now has `rapid`, `p2p`, and `none` constructors (#1618).
114 * `lightning-net-tokio` no longer requires types to be in `Arc`s (#1623).
115 * The `htlc_maximum_msat` field is now required in `ChannelUpdate` gossip
116 messages. In tests this rejects < 1% of channels (#1519).
117 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::{channel,node}` have been added to query for
118 individual channel/node data, primarily for bindings users (#1543).
119 * `FeeEstimator` implementations are now wrapped internally to ensure values
120 below 253 sats/kW are never used (#1552).
121 * Route selection no longer attempts to randomize path selection. This is
122 unlikely to lead to a material change in the paths selected (#1610).
125 * Fixed a panic when deserializing `ChannelDetails` objects (#1588).
126 * When routing, channels are no longer fully saturated before MPP splits are
127 generated, instead a configuration knob was added as
128 `PaymentParameters::max_channel_saturation_power_of_half` (#1605).
129 * Fixed a panic which occurred in `ProbabilisticScorer` when wallclock time
130 goes backwards across a restart (#1603).
132 ## Serialization Compatibility
133 * All new fields are ignored by prior versions of LDK. All new fields are not
134 present when reading objects serialized by prior versions of LDK.
135 * Channel information written in the `NetworkGraph` which is missing
136 `htlc_maximum_msat` may be dropped on deserialization (#1519).
137 * Similarly, node information written in the `NetworkGraph` which contains an
138 invalid hostname may be dropped on deserialization (#1519).

152 # 0.0.109 - 2022-07-01 - "The Kitchen Sink"
155 * `ChannelManager::update_channel_config` has been added to allow the fields
156 in `ChannelConfig` to be changed in a given channel after open (#1527).
157 * If we reconnect to a peer which proves we have a stale channel state, rather
158 than force-closing we will instead panic to provide an opportunity to switch
159 to the latest state and continue operating without channel loss (#1564).
160 * A `NodeAlias` struct has been added which handles string sanitization for
161 node aliases via the `Display` trait (#1544).
162 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now has a `banned_nodes` set which we will
163 never route through during path finding (#1550).
164 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now offers an `anti_probing_penalty_msat`
165 option to prefer channels which afford better privacy when routing (#1555).
166 * `ProbabilisticScorer` now provides access to its estimated liquidity range
167 for a given channel via `estimated_channel_liquidity_range` (#1549).
168 * `ChannelManager::force_close_channel` has been renamed
169 `force_close_broadcasting_latest_txn` and
170 `force_close_without_broadcasting_txn` has been added (#1564).
171 * Options which cannot be changed at runtime have been moved from
172 `ChannelConfig` to `ChannelHandshakeConfig` (#1529).
173 * `find_route` takes `&NetworkGraph` instead of `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph (#1583).
174 * `ChannelDetails` now contains a copy of the current `ChannelConfig` (#1527).
175 * The `lightning-invoice` crate now optionally depends on `serde`, with
176 `Invoice` implementing `serde::{Deserialize,Serialize}` if enabled (#1548).
177 * Several fields in `UserConfig` have been renamed for clarity (#1540).
180 * `find_route` no longer selects routes with more than
181 `PaymentParameters::max_mpp_path_count` paths, and
182 `ChannelManager::send_payment` no longer refuses to send along routes with
183 more than ten paths (#1526).
184 * Fixed two cases where HTLCs pending at the time a counterparty broadcasts a
185 revoked commitment transaction are considered resolved prior to their actual
186 resolution on-chain, possibly passing the update to another channel (#1486).
187 * HTLCs which are relayed through LDK may now have a total expiry time two
188 weeks in the future, up from one, reducing forwarding failures (#1532).
190 ## Serialization Compatibility
191 * All new fields are ignored by prior versions of LDK. All new fields are not
192 present when reading objects serialized by prior versions of LDK.
193 * `ChannelConfig`'s serialization format has changed and is not compatible
194 with any previous version of LDK. Attempts to read values written by a
195 previous version of LDK will fail and attempts to read newly written objects
196 using a previous version of LDK will fail. It is not expected that users are
197 serializing `ChannelConfig` using the LDK serialization API, however, if a
198 backward compatibility wrapper is required, please open an issue.
201 0.0.109 fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability which is reachable from
202 untrusted input in some application deployments.
204 * Third parties which are allowed to open channels with an LDK-based node may
205 fund a channel with a bogus and maliciously-crafted transaction which, when
206 spent, can cause a panic in the channel's corresponding `ChannelMonitor`.
207 Such a channel is never usable as it cannot be funded with a funding
208 transaction which matches the required output script, allowing the
209 `ChannelMonitor` for such channels to be safely purged as a workaround on
210 previous versions of LDK. Thanks to Eugene Siegel for reporting this issue.

237 # 0.0.107 - 2022-06-08 - "BlueWallet's Wishlist"
240 * Channels larger than 16777215 sats (Wumbo!) are now supported and can be
241 enabled for inbound channels using
242 `ChannelHandshakeLimits::max_funding_satoshis` (#1425).
243 * Support for feature `option_zeroconf`, allowing immediate forwarding of
244 payments after channel opening. This is configured for outbound channels
245 using `ChannelHandshakeLimits::trust_own_funding_0conf` whereas
246 `ChannelManager::accept_inbound_channel_from_trusted_peer_0conf` has to be
247 used for accepting inbound channels (#1401, #1505).
248 * `ChannelManager::claim_funds` no longer returns a `bool` to indicate success.
249 Instead, an `Event::PaymentClaimed` is generated if the claim was successful.
250 Likewise, `ChannelManager::fail_htlc_backwards` no longer has a return value
252 * `lightning-rapid-gossip-sync` is a new crate for syncing gossip data from a
253 server, primarily aimed at mobile devices (#1155).
254 * `RapidGossipSync` can be passed to `BackgroundProcessor` in order to persist
255 the `NetworkGraph` and handle `NetworkUpdate`s during event handling (#1433,
257 * `NetGraphMsgHandler` has been renamed to `P2PGossipSync`, the `network_graph`
258 module has been renamed to `gossip`, and `NetworkUpdate::ChannelClosed` has
259 been renamed `NetworkUpdate::ChannelFailure` (#1159).
260 * Added a `filtered_block_connected` method to `chain::Listen` and a default
261 implementation of `block_connected` for those fetching filtered instead of
263 * The `lightning-block-sync` crate's `BlockSource` trait methods now take
264 `&self` instead of `&mut self` (#1307).
265 * `inbound_payment` module is now public to allow for creating invoices without
266 a `ChannelManager` (#1384).
267 * `lightning-block-sync`'s `init` and `poll` modules support `&dyn BlockSource`
268 which can be determined at runtime (#1423).
269 * `lightning-invoice` crate's `utils` now accept an expiration time (#1422,
271 * `Event::PaymentForwarded` includes `prev_channel_id` and `next_channel_id`
273 * `chain::Watch::release_pending_monitor_events`' return type now associates
274 `MonitorEvent`s with funding `OutPoints` (#1475).
275 * `lightning-background-processor` crate's `Persister` trait has been moved to
276 `lightning` crate's `util::persist` module, which now has a general
277 `KVStorePersister` trait. Blanket implementations of `Persister` and
278 `chainmonitor::Persist` are given for types implementing `KVStorePersister`.
279 ` lightning-persister`'s `FilesystemPersister` implements `KVStorePersister`
281 * `ChannelDetails` and `ChannelCounterparty` include fields for HTLC minimum
282 and maximum values (#1378).
283 * Added a `max_inbound_htlc_value_in_flight_percent_of_channel` field to
284 `ChannelHandshakeConfig`, capping the total value of outstanding inbound
285 HTLCs for a channel (#1444).
286 * `ProbabilisticScorer` is parameterized by a `Logger`, which it uses to log
287 channel liquidity updates or lack thereof (#1405).
288 * `ChannelDetails` has an `outbound_htlc_limit_msat` field, which should be
289 used in routing instead of `outbound_capacity_msat` (#1435).
290 * `ProbabilisticScorer`'s channel liquidities can be logged via
291 `debug_log_liquidity_stats` (#1460).
292 * `BackgroundProcessor` now takes an optional `WriteableScore` which it will
293 persist using the `Persister` trait's new `persist_scorer` method (#1416).
294 * Upgraded to `bitcoin` crate version 0.28.1 (#1389).
295 * `ShutdownScript::new_witness_program` now takes a `WitnessVersion` instead of
296 a `NonZeroU8` (#1389).
297 * Channels will no longer be automatically force closed when the counterparty
298 is disconnected due to incompatibility (#1429).
299 * `ChannelManager` methods for funding, accepting, and closing channels now
300 take a `counterparty_node_id` parameter, which has also been added as a field
301 to `Event::FundingGenerationReady` (#1479, #1485).
302 * `InvoicePayer::new` now takes a `Retry` enum (replacing the `RetryAttempts`
303 struct), which supports both attempt- and timeout-based retrying (#1418).
304 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` takes a `ChannelUsage` struct, which contains
305 the capacity as an `EffectiveCapacity` enum and any potential in-flight HTLC
306 value, rather than a single `u64`. Used by `ProbabilisticScorer` for more
307 accurate penalties (#1456).
308 * `build_route_from_hops` is a new function useful for constructing a `Route`
309 given a specific list of public keys (#1491).
310 * `FundingLocked` message has been renamed `ChannelReady`, and related
311 identifiers have been renamed accordingly (#1506).
312 * `core2::io` or `std::io` (depending on feature flags `no-std` or `std`) is
313 exported as a `lightning::io` module (#1504).
314 * The deprecated `Scorer` has been removed in favor or `ProbabilisticScorer`
317 ## Performance Improvements
318 * `lightning-persister` crate's `FilesystemPersister` is faster by 15x (#1404).
319 * Log gossip query messages at `GOSSIP` instead of `TRACE` to avoid
320 overwhelming default logging (#1421).
321 * `PeerManager` supports processing messages from different peers in parallel,
322 and this is taken advantage of in gossip processing (#1023).
323 * Greatly reduced per-channel and per-node memory usage due to upgrade of
324 `secp256k1` crate to 0.22.1 and `bitcoin` crate to 0.28.1
325 * Reduced per-peer memory usage in `PeerManager` (#1472).
328 * `find_route` now assumes variable-length onions by default for nodes where
329 support for the feature is unknown (#1414).
330 * A `warn` message is now sent when receiving a `channel_reestablish` with an
331 old commitment transaction number rather than immediately force-closing the
333 * When a `channel_update` message is included in an onion error's `failuremsg`,
334 its message type is now encoded. Reading such messages is also supported
338 * Fixed a bug where crashing while persisting a `ChannelMonitorUpdate` for a
339 part of a multi-path payment could cause loss of funds due to a partial
340 payment claim on restart (#1434).
341 * `BackgroundProcessor` has been fixed to improve serialization reliability on
342 slow systems which can avoid force-closes (#1436).
343 * `gossip_timestamp_filter` filters are now honored when sending gossip to
345 * During a reorg, only force-close a channel if its funding transaction is
346 unconfirmed rather than as it loses confirmations (#1461).
347 * Fixed a rare panic in `lightning-net-tokio` when fetching a peer's socket
348 address after the connection has been closed caused by a race condition
350 * `find_route` will no longer return routes that would cause onion construction
351 to fail in some cases (#1476).
352 * `ProbabilisticScorer` uses more precision when approximating `log10` (#1406).
354 ## Serialization Compatibility
355 * All above new events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
356 events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
357 versions of the library.
358 * `ChannelManager` serialization is no longer compatible with versions prior to
360 * Channels with `option_zeroconf` feature enabled (not required for 0-conf
361 channel use) will be unreadable by versions prior to 0.0.107 (#1401, #1505).

364 deletions in 153 commits from 18 authors, in alphabetical order:
385 # 0.0.106 - 2022-04-03
388 * Minimum supported rust version (MSRV) is now 1.41.1 (#1310).
389 * Lightning feature `option_scid_alias` is now supported and may be negotiated
390 when opening a channel with a peer. It can be configured via
391 `ChannelHandshakeConfig::negotiate_scid_privacy` and is off by default but
392 will be on by default in the future (#1351).
393 * `OpenChannelRequest` now has a `channel_type` field indicating the features
394 the channel will operate with and should be used to filter channels with
395 undesirable features (#1351). See the Serialization Compatibility section.
396 * `ChannelManager` supports sending and receiving short channel id aliases in
397 the `funding_locked` message. These are used when forwarding payments and
398 constructing invoice route hints for improved privacy. `ChannelDetails` has a
399 `inbound_scid_alias` field and a `get_inbound_payment_scid` method to support
401 * `DefaultRouter` and `find_route` take an additional random seed to improve
402 privacy by adding a random CLTV expiry offset to each path's final hop. This
403 helps obscure the intended recipient from adversarial intermediate hops
404 (#1286). The seed is also used to randomize candidate paths during route
406 * The `lightning-block-sync` crate's `init::synchronize_listeners` method
407 interface has been relaxed to support multithreaded environments (#1349).
408 * `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment_for_hash`'s documentation has been
409 corrected to remove the one-year restriction on `invoice_expiry_delta_secs`,
410 which is only applicable to the deprecated `create_inbound_payment_legacy`
411 and `create_inbound_payment_for_hash_legacy` methods (#1341).
412 * `Features` mutator methods now take `self` by reference instead of by value
414 * The CLTV of the last hop in a path is now included when comparing against
415 `RouteParameters::max_total_cltv_expiry_delta` (#1358).
416 * Invoice creation functions in `lightning-invoice` crate's `utils` module
417 include versions that accept a description hash instead of only a description
419 * `RoutingMessageHandler::sync_routing_table` has been renamed `peer_connected`
421 * `MessageSendEvent::SendGossipTimestampFilter` has been added to indicate that
422 a `gossip_timestamp_filter` should be sent (#1368).
423 * `PeerManager` takes an optional `NetAddress` in `new_outbound_connection` and
424 `new_inbound_connection`, which is used to report back the remote address to
425 the connecting peer in the `init` message (#1326).
426 * `ChannelManager::accept_inbound_channel` now takes a `user_channel_id`, which
427 is used in a similar manner as in outbound channels. (#1381).
428 * `BackgroundProcessor` now persists `NetworkGraph` on a timer and upon
429 shutdown as part of a new `Persister` trait, which also includes
430 `ChannelManager` persistence (#1376).
431 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now has a `base_penalty_msat` option, which
432 default to 500 msats. It is applied at each hop to help avoid longer paths
434 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters::liquidity_penalty_multiplier_msat`'s default
435 value is now 40,000 msats instead of 10,000 msats (#1375).
436 * The `lightning` crate has a `grind_signatures` feature used to produce
437 signatures with low r-values for more predictable transaction weight. This
438 feature is on by default (#1388).
439 * `ProbabilisticScoringParameters` now has a `amount_penalty_multiplier_msat`
440 option, which is used to further penalize large amounts (#1399).
441 * `PhantomRouteHints`, `FixedPenaltyScorer`, and `ScoringParameters` now
442 implement `Clone` (#1346).
445 * Fixed a compilation error in `ProbabilisticScorer` under `--feature=no-std`
447 * Invoice creation functions in `lightning-invoice` crate's `utils` module
448 filter invoice hints in order to limit the invoice size (#1325).
449 * Fixed a bug where a `funding_locked` message was delayed by a block if the
450 funding transaction was confirmed while offline, depending on the ordering
451 of `Confirm::transactions_confirmed` calls when brought back online (#1363).
452 * Fixed a bug in `NetGraphMsgHandler` where it didn't continue to receive
453 gossip messages from peers after initial connection (#1368, #1382).
454 * `ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred` will now timeout a received multi-path
455 payment (MPP) after three ticks if not received in full instead of waiting
456 until near the HTLC timeout block(#1353).
457 * Fixed an issue with `find_route` causing it to be overly aggressive in using
458 MPP over channels to the same first hop (#1370).
459 * Reduced time spent processing `channel_update` messages by checking
460 signatures after checking if no newer messages have already been processed
462 * Fixed a few issues in `find_route` which caused preferring paths with a
464 * Fixed an issue in `ProbabilisticScorer` where a channel with not enough
465 liquidity could still be used when retrying a failed payment if it was on a
466 path with an overall lower cost (#1399).
468 ## Serialization Compatibility
469 * Channels open with `option_scid_alias` negotiated will be incompatible with
470 prior releases (#1351). This may occur in the following cases:
471 * Outbound channels when `ChannelHandshakeConfig::negotiate_scid_privacy` is
473 * Inbound channels when automatically accepted from an `OpenChannel` message
474 with a `channel_type` that has `ChannelTypeFeatures::supports_scid_privacy`
475 return true. See `UserConfig::accept_inbound_channels`.
476 * Inbound channels when manually accepted from an `OpenChannelRequest` with a
477 `channel_type` that has `ChannelTypeFeatures::supports_scid_privacy` return
478 true. See `UserConfig::manually_accept_inbound_channels`.

495 # 0.0.105 - 2022-02-28
498 * `Phantom node` payments are now supported, allowing receipt of a payment on
499 any one of multiple nodes without any coordination across the nodes being
500 required. See the new `PhantomKeysManager`'s docs for more, as well as
501 requirements on `KeysInterface::get_inbound_payment_key_material` and
502 `lightning_invoice::utils::create_phantom_invoice` (#1199).
503 * In order to support phantom node payments, several `KeysInterface` methods
504 now accept a `Recipient` parameter to select between the local `node_id` and
505 a phantom-specific one.
506 * `ProbabilisticScorer`, a `Score` based on learning the current balances of
507 channels in the network, was added. It attempts to better capture payment
508 success probability than the existing `Scorer`, though may underperform on
509 nodes with low payment volume. We welcome feedback on performance (#1227).
510 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` now always takes the channel value, instead of
512 * `UserConfig::manually_accept_inbound_channels` was added which, when set,
513 generates a new `Event::OpenChannelRequest`, which allows manual acceptance
514 or rejection of incoming channels on a per-channel basis (#1281).
515 * `Payee` has been renamed to `PaymentParameters` (#1271).
516 * `PaymentParameters` now has a `max_total_cltv_expiry_delta` field. This
517 defaults to 1008 and limits the maximum amount of time an HTLC can be pending
518 before it will either fail or be claimed (#1234).
519 * The `lightning-invoice` crate now supports no-std environments. This required
520 numerous API changes around timestamp handling and std+no-std versions of
521 several methods that previously assumed knowledge of the time (#1223, #1230).
522 * `lightning-invoice` now supports parsing invoices with expiry times of more
523 than one year. This required changing the semantics of `ExpiryTime` (#1273).
524 * The `CounterpartyCommitmentSecrets` is now public, allowing external uses of
525 the `BOLT 3` secret storage scheme (#1299).
526 * Several `Sign` methods now receive HTLC preimages as proof of state
527 transition, see new documentation for more (#1251).
528 * `KeysInterface::sign_invoice` now provides the HRP and other invoice data
529 separately to make it simpler for external signers to parse (#1272).
530 * `Sign::sign_channel_announcement` now returns both the node's signature and
531 the per-channel signature. `InMemorySigner` now requires the node's secret
532 key in order to implement this (#1179).
533 * `ChannelManager` deserialization will now fail if the `KeysInterface` used
534 has a different `node_id` than the `ChannelManager` expects (#1250).
535 * A new `ErrorAction` variant was added to send `warning` messages (#1013).
536 * Several references to `chain::Listen` objects in `lightning-block-sync` no
537 longer require a mutable reference (#1304).
540 * Fixed a regression introduced in 0.0.104 where `ChannelManager`'s internal
541 locks could have an order violation leading to a deadlock (#1238).
542 * Fixed cases where slow code (including user I/O) could cause us to
543 disconnect peers with ping timeouts in `BackgroundProcessor` (#1269).
544 * Now persist the `ChannelManager` prior to `BackgroundProcessor` stopping,
545 preventing race conditions where channels are closed on startup even with a
546 clean shutdown. This requires that users stop network processing and
547 disconnect peers prior to `BackgroundProcessor` shutdown (#1253).
548 * Fields in `ChannelHandshakeLimits` provided via the `override_config` to
549 `create_channel` are now applied instead of the default config (#1292).
550 * Fixed the generation of documentation on docs.rs to include API surfaces
551 which are hidden behind feature flags (#1303).
552 * Added the `channel_type` field to `accept_channel` messages we send, which
553 may avoid some future compatibility issues with other nodes (#1314).
554 * Fixed a bug where, if a previous LDK run using `lightning-persister` crashed
555 while persisting updated data, we may have failed to initialize (#1332).
556 * Fixed a rare bug where having both pending inbound and outbound HTLCs on a
557 just-opened inbound channel could cause `ChannelDetails::balance_msat` to
558 underflow and be reported as large, or cause panics in debug mode (#1268).
559 * Moved more instances of verbose gossip logging from the `Trace` level to the
560 `Gossip` level (#1220).
561 * Delayed `announcement_signatures` until the channel has six confirmations,
562 slightly improving propagation of channel announcements (#1179).
563 * Several fixes in script and transaction weight calculations when anchor
564 outputs are enabled (#1229).
566 ## Serialization Compatibility
567 * Using `ChannelManager` data written by versions prior to 0.0.105 will result
568 in preimages for HTLCs that were pending at startup to be missing in calls
569 to `KeysInterface` methods (#1251).
570 * Any phantom invoice payments received on a node that is not upgraded to
571 0.0.105 will fail with an "unknown channel" error. Further, downgrading to
572 0.0.104 or before and then upgrading again will invalidate existing phantom
573 SCIDs which may be included in invoices (#1199).
576 0.0.105 fixes two denial-of-service vulnerabilities which may be reachable from
577 untrusted input in certain application designs.
579 * Route calculation spuriously panics when a routing decision is made for a
580 path where the second-to-last hop is a private channel, included due to a
581 multi-hop route hint in an invoice.
582 * `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` spuriously panics in some scenarios
583 when the LDK application's local commitment transaction is confirmed while
584 HTLCs are still pending resolution.

605 # 0.0.104 - 2021-12-17
608 * A `PaymentFailed` event is now provided to indicate a payment has failed
609 fully. This event is generated either after
610 `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` is called for a given payment, or the
611 payment times out, and there are no further pending HTLCs for the payment.
612 This event should be used to detect payment failure instead of
613 `PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed`, unless no payment retries occur via
614 `ChannelManager::retry_payment` (#1202).
615 * Payment secrets are now generated deterministically using material from
616 the new `KeysInterface::get_inbound_payment_key_material` (#1177).
617 * A `PaymentPathSuccessful` event has been added to ease passing success info
618 to a scorer, along with a `Score::payment_path_successful` method to accept
619 such info (#1178, #1197).
620 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` has additional arguments describing the
621 channel's capacity and the HTLC amount being sent over the channel (#1166).
622 * A new log level `Gossip` has been added, which is used for verbose
623 information generated during network graph sync. Enabling the
624 `max_level_trace` feature or ignoring `Gossip` log entries reduces log
625 growth during initial start up from many GiB to several MiB (#1145).
626 * The `allow_wallclock_use` feature has been removed in favor of only using
627 the `std` and `no-std` features (#1212).
628 * `NetworkGraph` can now remove channels that we haven't heard updates for in
629 two weeks with `NetworkGraph::remove_stale_channels{,with_time}`. The first
630 is called automatically if a `NetGraphMsgHandler` is passed to
631 `BackgroundProcessor::start` (#1212).
632 * `InvoicePayer::pay_pubkey` was added to enable sending "keysend" payments to
633 supported recipients, using the `InvoicePayer` to handle retires (#1160).
634 * `user_payment_id` has been removed from `PaymentPurpose`, and
635 `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}` (#1180).
636 * Updated documentation for several `ChannelManager` functions to remove stale
637 references to panics which no longer occur (#1201).
638 * The `Score` and `LockableScore` objects have moved into the
639 `routing::scoring` module instead of being in the `routing` module (#1166).
640 * The `Time` parameter to `ScorerWithTime` is no longer longer exposed,
641 instead being fixed based on the `std`/`no-std` feature (#1184).
642 * `ChannelDetails::balance_msat` was added to fetch a channel's balance
643 without subtracting the reserve values, lining up with on-chain claim amounts
644 less on-chain fees (#1203).
645 * An explicit `UserConfig::accept_inbound_channels` flag is now provided,
646 removing the need to set `min_funding_satoshis` to > 21 million BTC (#1173).
647 * Inbound channels that fail to see the funding transaction confirm within
648 2016 blocks are automatically force-closed with
649 `ClosureReason::FundingTimedOut` (#1083).
650 * We now accept a channel_reserve value of 0 from counterparties, as it is
651 insecure for our counterparty but not us (#1163).
652 * `NetAddress::OnionV2` parsing was removed as version 2 onion services are no
653 longer supported in modern Tor (#1204).
654 * Generation and signing of anchor outputs is now supported in the
655 `KeysInterface`, though no support for them exists in the channel itself (#1176)
658 * Fixed a race condition in `InvoicePayer` where paths may be retried after
659 the retry count has been exceeded. In this case the
660 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` field is not a reliable payment
661 failure indicator. There was no acceptable alternative indicator,
662 `Event::PaymentFailed` as been added to provide one (#1202).
663 * Reduced the blocks-before-timeout we expect of outgoing HTLCs before
664 refusing to forward. This check was overly strict and resulted in refusing
665 to forward som HTLCs to a next hop that had a lower security threshold than
667 * LDK no longer attempt to update the channel fee for outbound channels when
668 we cannot afford the new fee. This could have caused force-closure by our
669 channel counterparty (#1054).
670 * Fixed several bugs which may have prevented the reliable broadcast of our
671 own channel announcements and updates (#1169).
672 * Fixed a rare bug which may have resulted in spurious route finding failures
673 when using last-hop hints and MPP with large value payments (#1168).
674 * `KeysManager::spend_spendable_outputs` no longer adds a change output that
675 is below the dust threshold for non-standard change scripts (#1131).
676 * Fixed a minor memory leak when attempting to send a payment that fails due
677 to an error when updating the `ChannelMonitor` (#1143).
678 * Fixed a bug where a `FeeEstimator` that returns values rounded to the next
679 sat/vbyte may result in force-closures (#1208).
680 * Handle MPP timeout HTLC error codes, instead of considering the recipient to
681 have sent an invalid error, removing them from the network graph (#1148)
683 ## Serialization Compatibility
684 * All above new events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
685 events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
686 versions of the library.
687 * Payment secrets are now generated deterministically. This reduces the memory
688 footprint for inbound payments, however, newly-generated inbound payments
689 using `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}` will not be
690 receivable using versions prior to 0.0.104.
691 `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}_legacy` are provided for
692 backwards compatibility (#1177).
693 * `PaymentPurpose::InvoicePayment::user_payment_id` will be 0 when reading
694 objects written with 0.0.104 when read by 0.0.103 and previous (#1180).

709 # 0.0.103 - 2021-11-02
712 * This release is almost entirely focused on a new API in the
713 `lightning-invoice` crate - the `InvoicePayer`. `InvoicePayer` is a
714 struct which takes a reference to a `ChannelManager` and a `Router`
715 and retries payments as paths fail. It limits retries to a configurable
716 number, but is not serialized to disk and may retry additional times across
717 a serialization/load. In order to learn about failed payments, it must
718 receive `Event`s directly from the `ChannelManager`, wrapping a
719 user-provided `EventHandler` which it provides all unhandled events to
721 * `get_route` has been renamed `find_route` (#1059) and now takes a
722 `RouteParameters` struct in replacement of a number of its long list of
723 arguments (#1134). The `Payee` in the `RouteParameters` is stored in the
724 `Route` object returned and provided in the `RouteParameters` contained in
725 `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1059).
726 * `ChannelMonitor`s must now be persisted after calls that provide new block
727 data, prior to `MonitorEvent`s being passed back to `ChannelManager` for
728 processing. If you are using a `ChainMonitor` this is handled for you.
729 The `Persist` API has been updated to `Option`ally take the
730 `ChannelMonitorUpdate` as persistence events that result from chain data no
731 longer have a corresponding update (#1108).
732 * `routing::Score` now has a `payment_path_failed` method which it can use to
733 learn which channels often fail payments. It is automatically called by
734 `InvoicePayer` for failed payment paths (#1144).
735 * The default `Scorer` implementation is now a type alias to a type generic
736 across different clocks and supports serialization to persist scoring data
737 across restarts (#1146).
738 * `Event::PaymentSent` now includes the full fee which was spent across all
739 payment paths which were fulfilled or pending when the payment was fulfilled
741 * `Event::PaymentSent` and `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now include the
742 `PaymentId` which matches the `PaymentId` returned from
743 `ChannelManager::send_payment` or `InvoicePayer::pay_invoice` (#1059).
744 * `NetGraphMsgHandler` now takes a `Deref` to the `NetworkGraph`, allowing for
745 shared references to the graph data to make serialization and references to
746 the graph data in the `InvoicePayer`'s `Router` simpler (#1149).
747 * `routing::Score::channel_penalty_msat` has been updated to provide the
748 `NodeId` of both the source and destination nodes of a channel (#1133).
751 * Previous versions would often disconnect peers during initial graph sync due
752 to ping timeouts while processing large numbers of gossip messages. We now
753 delay disconnecting peers if we receive messages from them even if it takes
754 a while to receive a pong from them. Further, we avoid sending too many
755 gossip messages between pings to ensure we should always receive pongs in a
756 timely manner (#1137).
757 * If a payment was sent, creating an outbound HTLC and sending it to our
758 counterparty (implying the `ChannelMonitor` was persisted on disk), but the
759 `ChannelManager` was not persisted prior to shutdown/crash, no
760 `Event::PaymentPathFailed` event was generated if the HTLC was eventually
761 failed on chain. Events are now consistent irrespective of `ChannelManager`
762 persistence or non-persistence (#1104).
764 ## Serialization Compatibility
765 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
766 Events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
767 versions of the library.
768 * Payments for which a `Route` was generated using a previous version or for
769 which the payment was originally sent by a previous version of the library
770 will not be retried by an `InvoicePayer`.
772 This release was singularly focused and some contributions by third parties

775 deletions in 71 commits from 2 authors, in alphabetical order:
781 # 0.0.102 - 2021-10-18
784 * `get_route` now takes a `Score` as an argument. `Score` is queried during
785 the route-finding process, returning the absolute amounts which you are
786 willing to pay to avoid routing over a given channel. As a default, a
787 `Scorer` is provided which returns a constant amount, with a suggested
788 default of 500 msat. This translates to a willingness to pay up to 500 msat
789 in additional fees per hop in order to avoid additional hops (#1124).
790 * `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now contains a `short_channel_id` field which may
791 be filled in with a channel that can be "blamed" for the payment failure.
792 Payment retries should likely avoid the given channel for some time (#1077).
793 * `PublicKey`s in `NetworkGraph` have been replaced with a `NodeId` struct
794 which contains only a simple `[u8; 33]`, substantially improving
795 `NetworkGraph` deserialization performance (#1107).
796 * `ChainMonitor`'s `HashMap` of `ChannelMonitor`s is now private, exposed via
797 `Chainmonitor::get_monitor` and `ChainMonitor::list_monitors` instead
799 * When an outbound channel is closed prior to the broadcasting of its funding
800 transaction, but after you call
801 `ChannelManager::funding_transaction_generated`, a new event type,
802 `Event::DiscardFunding`, is generated, informing you the transaction was not
803 broadcasted and that you can spend the same inputs again elsewhere (#1098).
804 * `ChannelManager::create_channel` now returns the temporary channel ID which
805 may later appear in `Event::ChannelClosed` or `ChannelDetails` prior to the
806 channel being funded (#1121).
807 * `Event::PaymentSent` now contains the payment hash as well as the payment
809 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::get_addresses` now returns owned `NetAddress` rather
810 than references. As a side-effect this method is now exposed in foreign
811 language bindings (#1115).
812 * The `Persist` and `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr` types have moved to the
813 `lightning::chain::chainmonitor` and `lightning::chain` modules,
814 respectively (#1112).
815 * `ChannelManager::send_payment` now returns a `PaymentId` which identifies a
816 payment (whether MPP or not) and can be used to retry the full payment or
817 MPP parts through `retry_payment` (#1096). Note that doing so is currently
818 *not* crash safe, and you may find yourself sending twice. It is recommended
819 that you *not* use the `retry_payment` API until the next release.
822 * Due to an earlier fix for the Lightning dust inflation vulnerability tracked
823 in CVE-2021-41591/CVE-2021-41592/CVE-2021-41593 in 0.0.100, we required
824 counterparties to accept a dust limit slightly lower than the dust limit now
825 required by other implementations. This appeared as, at least, latest lnd
826 always refusing to accept channels opened by LDK clients (#1065).
827 * If there are multiple channels available to the same counterparty,
828 `get_route` would only consider the channel listed last as available for
830 * `Persist` implementations returning
831 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` from `watch_channel` previously
832 resulted in the `ChannelMonitor` not being stored at all, resulting in a
833 panic after monitor updating is complete (#1112).
834 * If payments are pending awaiting forwarding at startup, an
835 `Event::PendingHTLCsForwardable` event will always be provided. This ensures
836 user code calls `ChannelManager::process_pending_htlc_fowards` even if it
837 shut down while awaiting the batching timer during the previous run (#1076).
838 * If a call to `ChannelManager::send_payment` failed due to lack of
839 availability of funds locally, LDK would store the payment as pending
840 forever, with no ability to retry or fail it, leaking memory (#1109).
842 ## Serialization Compatibility
843 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
844 Events/fields, except for `Event::PaymentSent::payment_hash` are not present
845 when reading objects serialized by prior versions of the library.

848 deletions in 51 commits from 7 authors, in alphabetical order:
859 # 0.0.101 - 2021-09-23
862 * Custom message types are now supported directly in the `PeerManager`,
863 allowing you to send and receive messages of any type that is not natively
864 understood by LDK. This requires a new type bound on `PeerManager`, a
865 `CustomMessageHandler`. `IgnoringMessageHandler` provides a simple default
866 for this new bound for ignoring unknown messages (#1031, #1074).
867 * Route graph updates as a result of failed payments are no longer provided as
868 `MessageSendEvent::PaymentFailureNetworkUpdate` but instead included in a
869 new field in the `Event::PaymentFailed` events. Generally, this means route
870 graph updates are no longer handled as a part of the `PeerManager` but
871 instead through the new `EventHandler` implementation for
872 `NetGraphMsgHandler`. To make this easy, a new parameter to
873 `lightning-background-processor::BackgroundProcessor::start` is added, which
874 contains an `Option`al `NetGraphmsgHandler`. If provided as `Some`, relevant
875 events will be processed by the `NetGraphMsgHandler` prior to normal event
877 * `NetworkGraph` is now, itself, thread-safe. Accordingly, most functions now
878 take `&self` instead of `&mut self` and the graph data can be accessed
879 through `NetworkGraph.read_only` (#1043).
880 * The balances available on-chain to claim after a channel has been closed are
881 now exposed via `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` and
882 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`. The second can be used to get
883 information about all closed channels which still have on-chain balances
884 associated with them. See enum variants of `ln::channelmonitor::Balance` and
885 method documentation for the above methods for more information on the types
886 of balances exposed (#1034).
887 * When one HTLC of a multi-path payment fails, the new field `all_paths_failed`
888 in `Event::PaymentFailed` is set to `false`. This implies that the payment
889 has not failed, but only one part. Payment resolution is only indicated by an
890 `Event::PaymentSent` event or an `Event::PaymentFailed` with
891 `all_paths_failed` set to `true`, which is also set for the last remaining
892 part of a multi-path payment (#1053).
893 * To better capture the context described above, `Event::PaymentFailed` has
894 been renamed to `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1084).
895 * A new event, `ChannelClosed`, is provided by `ChannelManager` when a channel
896 is closed, including a reason and error message (if relevant, #997).
897 * `lightning-invoice` now considers invoices with sub-millisatoshi precision
898 to be invalid, and requires millisatoshi values during construction (thus
899 you must call `amount_milli_satoshis` instead of `amount_pico_btc`, #1057).
900 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes two new hooks which provide additional
901 information about commitment transaction signatures and revocation secrets
902 provided by our counterparty, allowing additional verification (#1039).
903 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes additional information for cooperative
904 close transactions, making it easier for a signer to verify requests (#1064).
905 * `Route` has two additional helper methods to get fees and amounts (#1063).
906 * `Txid` and `Transaction` objects can now be deserialized from responses when
907 using the HTTP client in the `lightning-block-sync` crate (#1037, #1061).
910 * Fix a panic when reading a lightning invoice with a non-recoverable
911 signature. Further, restrict lightning invoice parsing to require payment
912 secrets and better handle a few edge cases as required by BOLT 11 (#1057).
913 * Fix a panic when receiving multiple messages (such as HTLC fulfill messages)
914 after a call to `chain::Watch::update_channel` returned
915 `Err(ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure)` with no
916 `ChannelManager::channel_monitor_updated` call in between (#1066).
917 * For multi-path payments, `Event::PaymentSent` is no longer generated
918 multiple times, once for each independent part (#1053).
919 * Multi-hop route hints in invoices are now considered in the default router
920 provided via `get_route` (#1040).
921 * The time peers have to respond to pings has been increased when building
922 with debug assertions enabled. This avoids peer disconnections on slow hosts
923 when running in debug mode (#1051).
924 * The timeout for the first byte of a response for requests from the
925 `lightning-block-sync` crate has been increased to 300 seconds to better
926 handle the long hangs in Bitcoin Core when it syncs to disk (#1090).
928 ## Serialization Compatibility
929 * Due to a bug in 0.0.100, `Event`s written by 0.0.101 which are of a type not
930 understood by 0.0.100 may lead to `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` or corrupt
931 deserialized objects in 0.100. Such `Event`s will lead to an
932 `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` in versions prior to 0.0.100. The only such
933 new event written by 0.0.101 is `Event::ChannelClosed` (#1087).
934 * Payments that were initiated in versions prior to 0.0.101 may still
935 generate duplicate `PaymentSent` `Event`s or may have spurious values for
936 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` (#1053).
937 * The return values of `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` (and, thus,
938 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`) may be spurious for channels where
939 the spend of the funding transaction appeared on chain while running a
940 version prior to 0.0.101. `Balance` information should only be relied upon
941 for channels that were closed while running 0.0.101+ (#1034).
942 * Payments failed while running versions prior to 0.0.101 will never have a
943 `Some` for the `network_update` field (#1043).

961 # 0.0.100 - 2021-08-17 - "Oh, so *that's* what's going on inside the box"
964 * The `lightning` crate can now be built in no_std mode, making it easy to
965 target embedded hardware for rust users. Note that mutexes are replaced with
966 no-ops for such builds (#1008, #1028).
967 * LDK now supports sending and receiving "keysend" payments. This includes
968 modifications to `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentReceived` to
969 indicate the type of payment (#967).
970 * A new variant, `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentForwarded` has been
971 added which indicates a forwarded payment has been successfully claimed and
972 we've received a forwarding fee (#1004).
973 * `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_pubkey` has
974 been renamed to `get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`, returns a script, and is now
975 called on channel open only if
976 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
978 * Closing-signed negotiation is now more configurable, with an explicit
979 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::force_close_avoidance_max_fee_satoshis`
980 field allowing you to select the maximum amount you are willing to pay to
981 avoid a force-closure. Further, we are now less restrictive on the fee
982 placed on the closing transaction when we are not the party paying it. To
983 control the feerate paid on a channel at close-time, use
984 `ChannelManager::close_channel_with_target_feerate` instead of
985 `close_channel` (#1011).
986 * `lightning_background_processor::BackgroundProcessor` now stops the
987 background thread when dropped (#1007). It is marked `#[must_use]` so that
988 Rust users will receive a compile-time warning when it is immediately
989 dropped after construction (#1029).
990 * Total potential funds burn on force-close due to dust outputs is now limited
991 to `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::max_dust_htlc_exposure_msat` per
993 * The interval on which
994 `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager::timer_tick_occurred` should be
995 called has been reduced to once every five seconds (#1035) and
996 `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred` should
997 now be called on startup in addition to once per minute (#985).
998 * The rust-bitcoin and bech32 dependencies have been updated to their
999 respective latest versions (0.27 and 0.8, #1012).
1002 * Fix panic when reading invoices generated by some versions of c-lightning
1004 * Fix panic when attempting to validate a signed message of incorrect length
1006 * Do not ignore the route hints in invoices when the invoice is over 250k
1008 * Fees are automatically updated on outbound channels to ensure commitment
1009 transactions are always broadcastable (#985).
1010 * Fixes a rare case where a `lightning::util::events::Event::SpendableOutputs`
1011 event is not generated after a counterparty commitment transaction is
1012 confirmed in a reorg when a conflicting local commitment transaction is
1013 removed in the same reorg (#1022).
1014 * Fixes a remotely-triggerable force-closure of an origin channel after an
1015 HTLC was forwarded over a next-hop channel and the next-hop channel was
1016 force-closed by our counterparty (#1025).
1017 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when sending a payment as a channel fundee
1018 when overdrawing our remaining balance. Instead the send will fail (#998).
1019 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when a payment was claimed prior to a
1020 peer disconnection or restart, and later failed (#977).
1022 ## Serialization Compatibility
1023 * Pending inbound keysend payments which have neither been failed nor claimed
1024 when serialized will result in a `ChannelManager` which is not readable on
1025 pre-0.0.100 clients (#967).
1027 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`
1028 has been updated to return a script instead of only a `PublicKey`,
1029 `ChannelManager`s constructed with custom `KeysInterface` implementations on
1030 0.0.100 and later versions will not be readable on previous versions.
1031 `ChannelManager`s created with 0.0.99 and prior versions will remain readable
1032 even after the a serialization roundtrip on 0.0.100, as long as no new
1033 channels are opened. Further, users using a
1034 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysManager` as their `KeysInterface` will
1035 have `ChannelManager`s which are readable on prior versions as well (#1019).
1036 * `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s created by 0.0.100 and later for channels when
1037 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
1038 not set may not be readable by versions prior to 0.0.100 (#1019).
1039 * HTLCs which were in the process of being claimed on-chain when a pre-0.0.100
1040 `ChannelMonitor` was serialized may generate `PaymentForwarded` events with
1041 spurious `fee_earned_msat` values. This only applies to payments which were
1042 unresolved at the time of the upgrade (#1004).
1043 * 0.0.100 clients with pending `Event::PaymentForwarded` events at
1044 serialization-time will generate serialized `ChannelManager` objects which
1045 0.0.99 and earlier clients cannot read. The likelihood of this can be reduced
1046 by ensuring you process all pending events immediately before serialization
1047 (as is done by the `lightning-background-processor` crate, #1004).

1054 # 0.0.99 - 2021-07-09 - "It's a Bugz Life"
1058 * `lightning_block_sync::poll::Validate` is now public, allowing you to
1059 implement the `lightning_block_sync::poll::Poll` trait without
1060 `lightning_block_sync::poll::ChainPoller` (#956).
1061 * `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager` no longer requires that no calls
1062 are made to referencing the same `SocketDescriptor` after
1063 `disconnect_socket` returns. This makes the API significantly less
1064 deadlock-prone and simplifies `SocketDescriptor` implementations
1065 significantly. The relevant changes have been made to `lightning_net_tokio`
1066 and `PeerManager` documentation has been substantially rewritten (#957).
1067 * `lightning::util::message_signing`'s `sign` and `verify` methods now take
1068 secret and public keys by reference instead of value (#974).
1069 * Substantially more information is now exposed about channels in
1070 `ChannelDetails`. See documentation for more info (#984 and #988).
1071 * The latest best block seen is now exposed in
1072 `ChannelManager::current_best_block` and
1073 `ChannelMonitor::current_best_block` (#984).
1074 * Feerates charged when forwarding payments over channels is now set in
1075 `ChannelConfig::fee_base_msat` when the channel is opened. For existing
1076 channels, the value is set to the value provided in
1077 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config::channel_options` the first time the
1078 `ChannelManager` is loaded in 0.0.99 (#975).
1079 * We now reject HTLCs which are received to be forwarded over private channels
1080 unless `UserConfig::accept_forwards_to_priv_channels` is set. Note that
1081 `UserConfig` is never serialized and must be provided via
1082 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config` at each start (#975).
1086 * We now forward gossip messages to peers instead of only relaying
1087 locally-generated gossip or sending gossip messages during initial sync
1089 * Correctly send `channel_update` messages to direct peers on private channels
1090 (#949). Without this, a private node connected to an LDK node over a private
1091 channel cannot receive funds as it does not know which fees the LDK node
1093 * `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager` no longer expects to be
1094 persisted spuriously after we receive a `channel_update` message about any
1095 channel in the routing gossip (#972).
1096 * Asynchronous `ChannelMonitor` updates (using the
1097 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` return variant) no longer cause
1098 spurious HTLC forwarding failures (#954).
1099 * Transaction provided via `ChannelMonitor::transactions_confirmed`
1100 after `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` was called for a much later
1101 block now trigger all relevant actions as of the later block. Previously
1102 some transaction broadcasts or other responses required an additional
1103 block be provided via `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` (#970).
1104 * We no longer panic in rare cases when an invoice contained last-hop route
1105 hints which were unusable (#958).
1107 ## Node Compatibility
1109 * We now accept spurious `funding_locked` messages sent prior to
1110 `channel_reestablish` messages after reconnect. This is a
1111 [known, long-standing bug in lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/4006)
1113 * We now set the `first_blocknum` and `number_of_blocks` fields in
1114 `reply_channel_range` messages to values which c-lightning versions prior to
1115 0.10 accepted. This avoids spurious force-closes from such nodes (#961).
1117 ## Serialization Compatibility
1119 * Due to a bug discovered in 0.0.98, if a `ChannelManager` is serialized on
1120 version 0.0.98 while an `Event::PaymentSent` is pending processing, the
1121 `ChannelManager` will fail to deserialize both on version 0.0.98 and later
1122 versions. If you have such a `ChannelManager` available, a simple patch will
1123 allow it to deserialize. Please file an issue if you need assistance (#973).
1125 # 0.0.98 - 2021-06-11 - "It's ALIVVVVEEEEEEE"
1127 0.0.98 should be considered a release candidate to the first alpha release of
1128 Rust-Lightning and the broader LDK. It represents several years of work
1129 designing and fine-tuning a flexible API for integrating lightning into any
1130 application. LDK should make it easy to build a lightning node or client which
1131 meets specific requirements that other lightning node software cannot. As
1132 lightning continues to evolve, and new use-cases for lightning develop, the API
1133 of LDK will continue to change and expand. However, starting with version 0.1,
1134 objects serialized with prior versions will be readable with the latest LDK.
1135 While Rust-Lightning is approaching the 0.1 milestone, language bindings
1136 components of LDK available at https://github.com/lightningdevkit are still of
1137 varying quality. Some are also approaching an 0.1 release, while others are
1138 still much more experimental. Please note that, at 0.0.98, using Rust-Lightning
1139 on mainnet is *strongly* discouraged.
