4 * `Phantom node` payments are now supported, allowing receipt of a payment on
5 any one of multiple nodes without any coordination across the nodes being
6 required. See the new `PhantomKeysManager`'s docs for more, as well as
7 requirements on `KeysInterface::get_inbound_payment_key_material` and
8 `lightning_invoice::utils::create_phantom_invoice` (#1199).
9 * In order to support phantom node payments, several `KeysInterface` methods
10 now accept a `Recipient` parameter to select between the local `node_id` and
11 a phantom-specific one.
12 * `ProbabilisticScorer`, a `Score` based on learning the current balances of
13 channels in the network, was added. It attempts to better capture payment
14 success probability than the existing `Scorer`, though may underperform on
15 nodes with low payment volume. We welcome feedback on performance (#1227).
16 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` now always takes the channel value, instead of
18 * `UserConfig::manually_accept_inbound_channels` was added which, when set,
19 generates a new `Event::OpenChannelRequest`, which allows manual acceptance
20 or rejection of incoming channels on a per-channel basis (#1281).
21 * `Payee` has been renamed to `PaymentParameters` (#1271).
22 * `PaymentParameters` now has a `max_total_cltv_expiry_delta` field. This
23 defaults to 1008 and limits the maximum amount of time an HTLC can be pending
24 before it will either fail or be claimed (#1234).
25 * The `lightning-invoice` crate now supports no-std environments. This required
26 numerous API changes around timestamp handling and std+no-std versions of
27 several methods that previously assumed knowledge of the time (#1223, #1230).
28 * `lightning-invoice` now supports parsing invoices with expiry times of more
29 than one year. This required changing the semantics of `ExpiryTime` (#1273).
30 * The `CounterpartyCommitmentSecrets` is now public, allowing external uses of
31 the `BOLT 3` secret storage scheme (#1299).
32 * Several `Sign` methods now receive HTLC preimages as proof of state
33 transition, see new documentation for more (#1251).
34 * `KeysInterface::sign_invoice` now provides the HRP and other invoice data
35 separately to make it simpler for external signers to parse (#1272).
36 * `Sign::sign_channel_announcement` now returns both the node's signature and
37 the per-channel signature. `InMemorySigner` now requires the node's secret
38 key in order to implement this (#1179).
39 * `ChannelManager` deserialization will now fail if the `KeysInterface` used
40 has a different `node_id` than the `ChannelManager` expects (#1250).
41 * A new `ErrorAction` variant was added to send `warning` messages (#1013).
42 * Several references to `chain::Listen` objects in `lightning-block-sync` no
43 longer require a mutable reference (#1304).
46 * Fixed a regression introduced in 0.0.104 where `ChannelManager`'s internal
47 locks could have an order violation leading to a deadlock (#1238).
48 * Fixed cases where slow code (including user I/O) could cause us to
49 disconnect peers with ping timeouts in `BackgroundProcessor` (#1269).
50 * Now persist the `ChannelManager` prior to `BackgroundProcessor` stopping,
51 preventing race conditions where channels are closed on startup even with a
52 clean shutdown. This requires that users stop network processing and
53 disconnect peers prior to `BackgroundProcessor` shutdown (#1253).
54 * Fields in `ChannelHandshakeLimits` provided via the `override_config` to
55 `create_channel` are now applied instead of the default config (#1292).
56 * Fixed the generation of documentation on docs.rs to include API surfaces
57 which are hidden behind feature flags (#1303).
58 * Added the `channel_type` field to `accept_channel` messages we send, which
59 may avoid some future compatibility issues with other nodes (#1314).
60 * Fixed a bug where, if a previous LDK run using `lightning-persister` crashed
61 while persisting updated data, we may have failed to initialize (#1332).
62 * Fixed a rare bug where having both pending inbound and outbound HTLCs on a
63 just-opened inbound channel could cause `ChannelDetails::balance_msat` to
64 underflow and be reported as large, or cause panics in debug mode (#1268).
65 * Moved more instances of verbose gossip logging from the `Trace` level to the
66 `Gossip` level (#1220).
67 * Delayed `announcement_signatures` until the channel has six confirmations,
68 slightly improving propagation of channel announcements (#1179).
69 * Several fixes in script and transaction weight calculations when anchor
70 outputs are enabled (#1229).
72 ## Serialization Compatibility
73 * Using `ChannelManager` data written by versions prior to 0.0.105 will result
74 in preimages for HTLCs that were pending at startup to be missing in calls
75 to `KeysInterface` methods (#1251).
76 * Any phantom invoice payments received on a node that is not upgraded to
77 0.0.105 will fail with an "unknown channel" error. Further, downgrading to
78 0.0.104 or before and then upgrading again will invalidate existing phantom
79 SCIDs which may be included in invoices (#1199).

100 # 0.0.104 - 2021-12-17
103 * A `PaymentFailed` event is now provided to indicate a payment has failed
104 fully. This event is generated either after
105 `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` is called for a given payment, or the
106 payment times out, and there are no further pending HTLCs for the payment.
107 This event should be used to detect payment failure instead of
108 `PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed`, unless no payment retries occur via
109 `ChannelManager::retry_payment` (#1202).
110 * Payment secrets are now generated deterministically using material from
111 the new `KeysInterface::get_inbound_payment_key_material` (#1177).
112 * A `PaymentPathSuccessful` event has been added to ease passing success info
113 to a scorer, along with a `Score::payment_path_successful` method to accept
114 such info (#1178, #1197).
115 * `Score::channel_penalty_msat` has additional arguments describing the
116 channel's capacity and the HTLC amount being sent over the channel (#1166).
117 * A new log level `Gossip` has been added, which is used for verbose
118 information generated during network graph sync. Enabling the
119 `max_level_trace` feature or ignoring `Gossip` log entries reduces log
120 growth during initial start up from many GiB to several MiB (#1145).
121 * The `allow_wallclock_use` feature has been removed in favor of only using
122 the `std` and `no-std` features (#1212).
123 * `NetworkGraph` can now remove channels that we haven't heard updates for in
124 two weeks with `NetworkGraph::remove_stale_channels{,with_time}`. The first
125 is called automatically if a `NetGraphMsgHandler` is passed to
126 `BackgroundProcessor::start` (#1212).
127 * `InvoicePayer::pay_pubkey` was added to enable sending "keysend" payments to
128 supported recipients, using the `InvoicePayer` to handle retires (#1160).
129 * `user_payment_id` has been removed from `PaymentPurpose`, and
130 `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}` (#1180).
131 * Updated documentation for several `ChannelManager` functions to remove stale
132 references to panics which no longer occur (#1201).
133 * The `Score` and `LockableScore` objects have moved into the
134 `routing::scoring` module instead of being in the `routing` module (#1166).
135 * The `Time` parameter to `ScorerWithTime` is no longer longer exposed,
136 instead being fixed based on the `std`/`no-std` feature (#1184).
137 * `ChannelDetails::balance_msat` was added to fetch a channel's balance
138 without subtracting the reserve values, lining up with on-chain claim amounts
139 less on-chain fees (#1203).
140 * An explicit `UserConfig::accept_inbound_channels` flag is now provided,
141 removing the need to set `min_funding_satoshis` to > 21 million BTC (#1173).
142 * Inbound channels that fail to see the funding transaction confirm within
143 2016 blocks are automatically force-closed with
144 `ClosureReason::FundingTimedOut` (#1083).
145 * We now accept a channel_reserve value of 0 from counterparties, as it is
146 insecure for our counterparty but not us (#1163).
147 * `NetAddress::OnionV2` parsing was removed as version 2 onion services are no
148 longer supported in modern Tor (#1204).
149 * Generation and signing of anchor outputs is now supported in the
150 `KeysInterface`, though no support for them exists in the channel itself (#1176)
153 * Fixed a race condition in `InvoicePayer` where paths may be retried after
154 the retry count has been exceeded. In this case the
155 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` field is not a reliable payment
156 failure indicator. There was no acceptable alternative indicator,
157 `Event::PaymentFailed` as been added to provide one (#1202).
158 * Reduced the blocks-before-timeout we expect of outgoing HTLCs before
159 refusing to forward. This check was overly strict and resulted in refusing
160 to forward som HTLCs to a next hop that had a lower security threshold than
162 * LDK no longer attempt to update the channel fee for outbound channels when
163 we cannot afford the new fee. This could have caused force-closure by our
164 channel counterparty (#1054).
165 * Fixed several bugs which may have prevented the reliable broadcast of our
166 own channel announcements and updates (#1169).
167 * Fixed a rare bug which may have resulted in spurious route finding failures
168 when using last-hop hints and MPP with large value payments (#1168).
169 * `KeysManager::spend_spendable_outputs` no longer adds a change output that
170 is below the dust threshold for non-standard change scripts (#1131).
171 * Fixed a minor memory leak when attempting to send a payment that fails due
172 to an error when updating the `ChannelMonitor` (#1143).
173 * Fixed a bug where a `FeeEstimator` that returns values rounded to the next
174 sat/vbyte may result in force-closures (#1208).
175 * Handle MPP timeout HTLC error codes, instead of considering the recipient to
176 have sent an invalid error, removing them from the network graph (#1148)
178 ## Serialization Compatibility
179 * All above new events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
180 events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
181 versions of the library.
182 * Payment secrets are now generated deterministically. This reduces the memory
183 footprint for inbound payments, however, newly-generated inbound payments
184 using `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}` will not be
185 receivable using versions prior to 0.0.104.
186 `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}_legacy` are provided for
187 backwards compatibility (#1177).
188 * `PaymentPurpose::InvoicePayment::user_payment_id` will be 0 when reading
189 objects written with 0.0.104 when read by 0.0.103 and previous (#1180).

204 # 0.0.103 - 2021-11-02
207 * This release is almost entirely focused on a new API in the
208 `lightning-invoice` crate - the `InvoicePayer`. `InvoicePayer` is a
209 struct which takes a reference to a `ChannelManager` and a `Router`
210 and retries payments as paths fail. It limits retries to a configurable
211 number, but is not serialized to disk and may retry additional times across
212 a serialization/load. In order to learn about failed payments, it must
213 receive `Event`s directly from the `ChannelManager`, wrapping a
214 user-provided `EventHandler` which it provides all unhandled events to
216 * `get_route` has been renamed `find_route` (#1059) and now takes a
217 `RouteParameters` struct in replacement of a number of its long list of
218 arguments (#1134). The `Payee` in the `RouteParameters` is stored in the
219 `Route` object returned and provided in the `RouteParameters` contained in
220 `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1059).
221 * `ChannelMonitor`s must now be persisted after calls that provide new block
222 data, prior to `MonitorEvent`s being passed back to `ChannelManager` for
223 processing. If you are using a `ChainMonitor` this is handled for you.
224 The `Persist` API has been updated to `Option`ally take the
225 `ChannelMonitorUpdate` as persistence events that result from chain data no
226 longer have a corresponding update (#1108).
227 * `routing::Score` now has a `payment_path_failed` method which it can use to
228 learn which channels often fail payments. It is automatically called by
229 `InvoicePayer` for failed payment paths (#1144).
230 * The default `Scorer` implementation is now a type alias to a type generic
231 across different clocks and supports serialization to persist scoring data
232 across restarts (#1146).
233 * `Event::PaymentSent` now includes the full fee which was spent across all
234 payment paths which were fulfilled or pending when the payment was fulfilled
236 * `Event::PaymentSent` and `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now include the
237 `PaymentId` which matches the `PaymentId` returned from
238 `ChannelManager::send_payment` or `InvoicePayer::pay_invoice` (#1059).
239 * `NetGraphMsgHandler` now takes a `Deref` to the `NetworkGraph`, allowing for
240 shared references to the graph data to make serialization and references to
241 the graph data in the `InvoicePayer`'s `Router` simpler (#1149).
242 * `routing::Score::channel_penalty_msat` has been updated to provide the
243 `NodeId` of both the source and destination nodes of a channel (#1133).
246 * Previous versions would often disconnect peers during initial graph sync due
247 to ping timeouts while processing large numbers of gossip messages. We now
248 delay disconnecting peers if we receive messages from them even if it takes
249 a while to receive a pong from them. Further, we avoid sending too many
250 gossip messages between pings to ensure we should always receive pongs in a
251 timely manner (#1137).
252 * If a payment was sent, creating an outbound HTLC and sending it to our
253 counterparty (implying the `ChannelMonitor` was persisted on disk), but the
254 `ChannelManager` was not persisted prior to shutdown/crash, no
255 `Event::PaymentPathFailed` event was generated if the HTLC was eventually
256 failed on chain. Events are now consistent irrespective of `ChannelManager`
257 persistence or non-persistence (#1104).
259 ## Serialization Compatibility
260 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
261 Events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
262 versions of the library.
263 * Payments for which a `Route` was generated using a previous version or for
264 which the payment was originally sent by a previous version of the library
265 will not be retried by an `InvoicePayer`.
267 This release was singularly focused and some contributions by third parties
269 In total, this release features 38 files changed, 4414 insertions, and 969
270 deletions in 71 commits from 2 authors, in alphabetical order:
276 # 0.0.102 - 2021-10-18
279 * `get_route` now takes a `Score` as an argument. `Score` is queried during
280 the route-finding process, returning the absolute amounts which you are
281 willing to pay to avoid routing over a given channel. As a default, a
282 `Scorer` is provided which returns a constant amount, with a suggested
283 default of 500 msat. This translates to a willingness to pay up to 500 msat
284 in additional fees per hop in order to avoid additional hops (#1124).
285 * `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now contains a `short_channel_id` field which may
286 be filled in with a channel that can be "blamed" for the payment failure.
287 Payment retries should likely avoid the given channel for some time (#1077).
288 * `PublicKey`s in `NetworkGraph` have been replaced with a `NodeId` struct
289 which contains only a simple `[u8; 33]`, substantially improving
290 `NetworkGraph` deserialization performance (#1107).
291 * `ChainMonitor`'s `HashMap` of `ChannelMonitor`s is now private, exposed via
292 `Chainmonitor::get_monitor` and `ChainMonitor::list_monitors` instead
294 * When an outbound channel is closed prior to the broadcasting of its funding
295 transaction, but after you call
296 `ChannelManager::funding_transaction_generated`, a new event type,
297 `Event::DiscardFunding`, is generated, informing you the transaction was not
298 broadcasted and that you can spend the same inputs again elsewhere (#1098).
299 * `ChannelManager::create_channel` now returns the temporary channel ID which
300 may later appear in `Event::ChannelClosed` or `ChannelDetails` prior to the
301 channel being funded (#1121).
302 * `Event::PaymentSent` now contains the payment hash as well as the payment
304 * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::get_addresses` now returns owned `NetAddress` rather
305 than references. As a side-effect this method is now exposed in foreign
306 language bindings (#1115).
307 * The `Persist` and `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr` types have moved to the
308 `lightning::chain::chainmonitor` and `lightning::chain` modules,
309 respectively (#1112).
310 * `ChannelManager::send_payment` now returns a `PaymentId` which identifies a
311 payment (whether MPP or not) and can be used to retry the full payment or
312 MPP parts through `retry_payment` (#1096). Note that doing so is currently
313 *not* crash safe, and you may find yourself sending twice. It is recommended
314 that you *not* use the `retry_payment` API until the next release.
317 * Due to an earlier fix for the Lightning dust inflation vulnerability tracked
318 in CVE-2021-41591/CVE-2021-41592/CVE-2021-41593 in 0.0.100, we required
319 counterparties to accept a dust limit slightly lower than the dust limit now
320 required by other implementations. This appeared as, at least, latest lnd
321 always refusing to accept channels opened by LDK clients (#1065).
322 * If there are multiple channels available to the same counterparty,
323 `get_route` would only consider the channel listed last as available for
325 * `Persist` implementations returning
326 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` from `watch_channel` previously
327 resulted in the `ChannelMonitor` not being stored at all, resulting in a
328 panic after monitor updating is complete (#1112).
329 * If payments are pending awaiting forwarding at startup, an
330 `Event::PendingHTLCsForwardable` event will always be provided. This ensures
331 user code calls `ChannelManager::process_pending_htlc_fowards` even if it
332 shut down while awaiting the batching timer during the previous run (#1076).
333 * If a call to `ChannelManager::send_payment` failed due to lack of
334 availability of funds locally, LDK would store the payment as pending
335 forever, with no ability to retry or fail it, leaking memory (#1109).
337 ## Serialization Compatibility
338 * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
339 Events/fields, except for `Event::PaymentSent::payment_hash` are not present
340 when reading objects serialized by prior versions of the library.
342 In total, this release features 32 files changed, 2248 insertions, and 1483
343 deletions in 51 commits from 7 authors, in alphabetical order:
354 # 0.0.101 - 2021-09-23
357 * Custom message types are now supported directly in the `PeerManager`,
358 allowing you to send and receive messages of any type that is not natively
359 understood by LDK. This requires a new type bound on `PeerManager`, a
360 `CustomMessageHandler`. `IgnoringMessageHandler` provides a simple default
361 for this new bound for ignoring unknown messages (#1031, #1074).
362 * Route graph updates as a result of failed payments are no longer provided as
363 `MessageSendEvent::PaymentFailureNetworkUpdate` but instead included in a
364 new field in the `Event::PaymentFailed` events. Generally, this means route
365 graph updates are no longer handled as a part of the `PeerManager` but
366 instead through the new `EventHandler` implementation for
367 `NetGraphMsgHandler`. To make this easy, a new parameter to
368 `lightning-background-processor::BackgroundProcessor::start` is added, which
369 contains an `Option`al `NetGraphmsgHandler`. If provided as `Some`, relevant
370 events will be processed by the `NetGraphMsgHandler` prior to normal event
372 * `NetworkGraph` is now, itself, thread-safe. Accordingly, most functions now
373 take `&self` instead of `&mut self` and the graph data can be accessed
374 through `NetworkGraph.read_only` (#1043).
375 * The balances available on-chain to claim after a channel has been closed are
376 now exposed via `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` and
377 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`. The second can be used to get
378 information about all closed channels which still have on-chain balances
379 associated with them. See enum variants of `ln::channelmonitor::Balance` and
380 method documentation for the above methods for more information on the types
381 of balances exposed (#1034).
382 * When one HTLC of a multi-path payment fails, the new field `all_paths_failed`
383 in `Event::PaymentFailed` is set to `false`. This implies that the payment
384 has not failed, but only one part. Payment resolution is only indicated by an
385 `Event::PaymentSent` event or an `Event::PaymentFailed` with
386 `all_paths_failed` set to `true`, which is also set for the last remaining
387 part of a multi-path payment (#1053).
388 * To better capture the context described above, `Event::PaymentFailed` has
389 been renamed to `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1084).
390 * A new event, `ChannelClosed`, is provided by `ChannelManager` when a channel
391 is closed, including a reason and error message (if relevant, #997).
392 * `lightning-invoice` now considers invoices with sub-millisatoshi precision
393 to be invalid, and requires millisatoshi values during construction (thus
394 you must call `amount_milli_satoshis` instead of `amount_pico_btc`, #1057).
395 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes two new hooks which provide additional
396 information about commitment transaction signatures and revocation secrets
397 provided by our counterparty, allowing additional verification (#1039).
398 * The `BaseSign` interface now includes additional information for cooperative
399 close transactions, making it easier for a signer to verify requests (#1064).
400 * `Route` has two additional helper methods to get fees and amounts (#1063).
401 * `Txid` and `Transaction` objects can now be deserialized from responses when
402 using the HTTP client in the `lightning-block-sync` crate (#1037, #1061).
405 * Fix a panic when reading a lightning invoice with a non-recoverable
406 signature. Further, restrict lightning invoice parsing to require payment
407 secrets and better handle a few edge cases as required by BOLT 11 (#1057).
408 * Fix a panic when receiving multiple messages (such as HTLC fulfill messages)
409 after a call to `chain::Watch::update_channel` returned
410 `Err(ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure)` with no
411 `ChannelManager::channel_monitor_updated` call in between (#1066).
412 * For multi-path payments, `Event::PaymentSent` is no longer generated
413 multiple times, once for each independent part (#1053).
414 * Multi-hop route hints in invoices are now considered in the default router
415 provided via `get_route` (#1040).
416 * The time peers have to respond to pings has been increased when building
417 with debug assertions enabled. This avoids peer disconnections on slow hosts
418 when running in debug mode (#1051).
419 * The timeout for the first byte of a response for requests from the
420 `lightning-block-sync` crate has been increased to 300 seconds to better
421 handle the long hangs in Bitcoin Core when it syncs to disk (#1090).
423 ## Serialization Compatibility
424 * Due to a bug in 0.0.100, `Event`s written by 0.0.101 which are of a type not
425 understood by 0.0.100 may lead to `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` or corrupt
426 deserialized objects in 0.100. Such `Event`s will lead to an
427 `Err(DecodeError::InvalidValue)` in versions prior to 0.0.100. The only such
428 new event written by 0.0.101 is `Event::ChannelClosed` (#1087).
429 * Payments that were initiated in versions prior to 0.0.101 may still
430 generate duplicate `PaymentSent` `Event`s or may have spurious values for
431 `Event::PaymentPathFailed::all_paths_failed` (#1053).
432 * The return values of `ChannelMonitor::get_claimable_balances` (and, thus,
433 `ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances`) may be spurious for channels where
434 the spend of the funding transaction appeared on chain while running a
435 version prior to 0.0.101. `Balance` information should only be relied upon
436 for channels that were closed while running 0.0.101+ (#1034).
437 * Payments failed while running versions prior to 0.0.101 will never have a
438 `Some` for the `network_update` field (#1043).

449 * Sergi Delgado Segura
456 # 0.0.100 - 2021-08-17
459 * The `lightning` crate can now be built in no_std mode, making it easy to
460 target embedded hardware for rust users. Note that mutexes are replaced with
461 no-ops for such builds (#1008, #1028).
462 * LDK now supports sending and receiving "keysend" payments. This includes
463 modifications to `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentReceived` to
464 indicate the type of payment (#967).
465 * A new variant, `lightning::util::events::Event::PaymentForwarded` has been
466 added which indicates a forwarded payment has been successfully claimed and
467 we've received a forwarding fee (#1004).
468 * `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_pubkey` has
469 been renamed to `get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`, returns a script, and is now
470 called on channel open only if
471 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
473 * Closing-signed negotiation is now more configurable, with an explicit
474 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::force_close_avoidance_max_fee_satoshis`
475 field allowing you to select the maximum amount you are willing to pay to
476 avoid a force-closure. Further, we are now less restrictive on the fee
477 placed on the closing transaction when we are not the party paying it. To
478 control the feerate paid on a channel at close-time, use
479 `ChannelManager::close_channel_with_target_feerate` instead of
480 `close_channel` (#1011).
481 * `lightning_background_processor::BackgroundProcessor` now stops the
482 background thread when dropped (#1007). It is marked `#[must_use]` so that
483 Rust users will receive a compile-time warning when it is immediately
484 dropped after construction (#1029).
485 * Total potential funds burn on force-close due to dust outputs is now limited
486 to `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::max_dust_htlc_exposure_msat` per
488 * The interval on which
489 `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager::timer_tick_occurred` should be
490 called has been reduced to once every five seconds (#1035) and
491 `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred` should
492 now be called on startup in addition to once per minute (#985).
493 * The rust-bitcoin and bech32 dependencies have been updated to their
494 respective latest versions (0.27 and 0.8, #1012).
497 * Fix panic when reading invoices generated by some versions of c-lightning
499 * Fix panic when attempting to validate a signed message of incorrect length
501 * Do not ignore the route hints in invoices when the invoice is over 250k
503 * Fees are automatically updated on outbound channels to ensure commitment
504 transactions are always broadcastable (#985).
505 * Fixes a rare case where a `lightning::util::events::Event::SpendableOutputs`
506 event is not generated after a counterparty commitment transaction is
507 confirmed in a reorg when a conflicting local commitment transaction is
508 removed in the same reorg (#1022).
509 * Fixes a remotely-triggerable force-closure of an origin channel after an
510 HTLC was forwarded over a next-hop channel and the next-hop channel was
511 force-closed by our counterparty (#1025).
512 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when sending a payment as a channel fundee
513 when overdrawing our remaining balance. Instead the send will fail (#998).
514 * Fixes a rare force-closure case when a payment was claimed prior to a
515 peer disconnection or restart, and later failed (#977).
517 ## Serialization Compatibility
518 * Pending inbound keysend payments which have neither been failed nor claimed
519 when serialized will result in a `ChannelManager` which is not readable on
520 pre-0.0.100 clients (#967).
522 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysInterface::get_shutdown_scriptpubkey`
523 has been updated to return a script instead of only a `PublicKey`,
524 `ChannelManager`s constructed with custom `KeysInterface` implementations on
525 0.0.100 and later versions will not be readable on previous versions.
526 `ChannelManager`s created with 0.0.99 and prior versions will remain readable
527 even after the a serialization roundtrip on 0.0.100, as long as no new
528 channels are opened. Further, users using a
529 `lightning::chain::keysinterface::KeysManager` as their `KeysInterface` will
530 have `ChannelManager`s which are readable on prior versions as well (#1019).
531 * `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s created by 0.0.100 and later for channels when
532 `lightning::util::config::ChannelConfig::commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is
533 not set may not be readable by versions prior to 0.0.100 (#1019).
534 * HTLCs which were in the process of being claimed on-chain when a pre-0.0.100
535 `ChannelMonitor` was serialized may generate `PaymentForwarded` events with
536 spurious `fee_earned_msat` values. This only applies to payments which were
537 unresolved at the time of the upgrade (#1004).
538 * 0.0.100 clients with pending `Event::PaymentForwarded` events at
539 serialization-time will generate serialized `ChannelManager` objects which
540 0.0.99 and earlier clients cannot read. The likelihood of this can be reduced
541 by ensuring you process all pending events immediately before serialization
542 (as is done by the `lightning-background-processor` crate, #1004).

549 # 0.0.99 - 2021-07-09
553 * `lightning_block_sync::poll::Validate` is now public, allowing you to
554 implement the `lightning_block_sync::poll::Poll` trait without
555 `lightning_block_sync::poll::ChainPoller` (#956).
556 * `lightning::ln::peer_handler::PeerManager` no longer requires that no calls
557 are made to referencing the same `SocketDescriptor` after
558 `disconnect_socket` returns. This makes the API significantly less
559 deadlock-prone and simplifies `SocketDescriptor` implementations
560 significantly. The relevant changes have been made to `lightning_net_tokio`
561 and `PeerManager` documentation has been substantially rewritten (#957).
562 * `lightning::util::message_signing`'s `sign` and `verify` methods now take
563 secret and public keys by reference instead of value (#974).
564 * Substantially more information is now exposed about channels in
565 `ChannelDetails`. See documentation for more info (#984 and #988).
566 * The latest best block seen is now exposed in
567 `ChannelManager::current_best_block` and
568 `ChannelMonitor::current_best_block` (#984).
569 * Feerates charged when forwarding payments over channels is now set in
570 `ChannelConfig::fee_base_msat` when the channel is opened. For existing
571 channels, the value is set to the value provided in
572 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config::channel_options` the first time the
573 `ChannelManager` is loaded in 0.0.99 (#975).
574 * We now reject HTLCs which are received to be forwarded over private channels
575 unless `UserConfig::accept_forwards_to_priv_channels` is set. Note that
576 `UserConfig` is never serialized and must be provided via
577 `ChannelManagerReadArgs::default_config` at each start (#975).
581 * We now forward gossip messages to peers instead of only relaying
582 locally-generated gossip or sending gossip messages during initial sync
584 * Correctly send `channel_update` messages to direct peers on private channels
585 (#949). Without this, a private node connected to an LDK node over a private
586 channel cannot receive funds as it does not know which fees the LDK node
588 * `lightning::ln::channelmanager::ChannelManager` no longer expects to be
589 persisted spuriously after we receive a `channel_update` message about any
590 channel in the routing gossip (#972).
591 * Asynchronous `ChannelMonitor` updates (using the
592 `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` return variant) no longer cause
593 spurious HTLC forwarding failures (#954).
594 * Transaction provided via `ChannelMonitor::transactions_confirmed`
595 after `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` was called for a much later
596 block now trigger all relevant actions as of the later block. Previously
597 some transaction broadcasts or other responses required an additional
598 block be provided via `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` (#970).
599 * We no longer panic in rare cases when an invoice contained last-hop route
600 hints which were unusable (#958).
602 ## Node Compatibility
604 * We now accept spurious `funding_locked` messages sent prior to
605 `channel_reestablish` messages after reconnect. This is a
606 [known, long-standing bug in lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/4006)
608 * We now set the `first_blocknum` and `number_of_blocks` fields in
609 `reply_channel_range` messages to values which c-lightning versions prior to
610 0.10 accepted. This avoids spurious force-closes from such nodes (#961).
612 ## Serialization Compatibility
614 * Due to a bug discovered in 0.0.98, if a `ChannelManager` is serialized on
615 version 0.0.98 while an `Event::PaymentSent` is pending processing, the
616 `ChannelManager` will fail to deserialize both on version 0.0.98 and later
617 versions. If you have such a `ChannelManager` available, a simple patch will
618 allow it to deserialize. Please file an issue if you need assistance (#973).
620 # 0.0.98 - 2021-06-11
622 0.0.98 should be considered a release candidate to the first alpha release of
623 Rust-Lightning and the broader LDK. It represents several years of work
624 designing and fine-tuning a flexible API for integrating lightning into any
625 application. LDK should make it easy to build a lightning node or client which
626 meets specific requirements that other lightning node software cannot. As
627 lightning continues to evolve, and new use-cases for lightning develop, the API
628 of LDK will continue to change and expand. However, starting with version 0.1,
629 objects serialized with prior versions will be readable with the latest LDK.
630 While Rust-Lightning is approaching the 0.1 milestone, language bindings
631 components of LDK available at https://github.com/lightningdevkit are still of
632 varying quality. Some are also approaching an 0.1 release, while others are
633 still much more experimental. Please note that, at 0.0.98, using Rust-Lightning
634 on mainnet is *strongly* discouraged.
