+# 0.0.103 - 2021-11-02
+
+## API Updates
+ * This release is almost entirely focused on a new API in the
+ `lightning-invoice` crate - the `InvoicePayer`. `InvoicePayer` is a
+ struct which takes a reference to a `ChannelManager` and a `NetworkGraph`
+ and retries payments as paths fail. It limits retries to a configurable
+ number, but is not serialized to disk and may retry additional times across
+ a serialization/load. In order to learn about failed payments, it must
+ receive `Event`s directly from the `ChannelManager`, wrapping a
+ user-provided `EventHandler` which it provides all unhandled events to
+ (#1059).
+ * `get_route` has been renamed `find_route` (#1059) and now takes a `Payee`
+ struct in replacement of a number of its long list of arguments (#1134).
+ `Payee` is further stored in the `Route` object returned and provided in the
+ `RouteParameters` contained in `Event::PaymentPathFailed` (#1059).
+ * `ChannelMonitor`s must now be persisted after calls which provide new block
+ data, prior to `MonitorEvent`s being passed back to `ChannelManager` for
+ processing. If you are using a `ChainMonitor` this is handled for you.
+ The `Persist` API has been updated to `Option`ally take the
+ `ChannelMonitorUpdate` as persistence events that result from chain data no
+ longer have a corresponding update (#1108).
+ * `routing::Score` now has a `payment_path_failed` method which it can use to
+ learn which channels often fail payments. It is automatically called by
+ `InvoicePayer` for failed payment paths (#1144).
+ * The default `Scorer` implementation is now a type alias to a type generic
+ across different clocks and supports serialization to persist scoring data
+ across restarts (#1146).
+ * `Event::PaymentSent` now includes the full fee which was spent across all
+ payment paths which were fulfilled or pending when the payment was fulfilled
+ (#1142).
+ * `NetGraphMsgHandler` now takes a `Deref` to the `NetworkGraph`, allowing for
+ shared references to the graph data to make serialization and references to
+ the graph data in the `InvoicePayer`'s `Router` simpler (#1149).
+ * `routing::Score::channel_penalty_msat` has been updated to provide the
+ `NodeId` of both the source and destination nodes of a channel (#1133).
+
+## Bug Fixes
+ * Delay disconnecting peers if we receive messages from them even if it takes
+ a while to receive a pong from them. Further, avoid sending too many gossip
+ messages between pings to ensure we should always receive pongs in a timely
+ manner. Together, these should significantly reduce instances of us failing
+ to remain connected to a peer during initial gossip sync (#1137).
+ * If a payment is sent, creating an outbound HTLC and sending it to our
+ counterparty (implying the `ChannelMonitor` was persisted on disk), but the
+ `ChannelManager` was not persisted prior to shutdown/crash, no
+ `Event::PaymentPathFailed` event will be generated if the HTLC is eventually
+ failed on chain (#1104).
+
+## Serialization Compatibility
+ * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
+ Events/fields are not present when reading objects serialized by prior
+ versions of the library.
+ * Payments for which a `Route` was generated using a previous version or for
+ which the payment was originally sent by a previous version of the library
+ will not be retried by an `InvoicePayer`.
+
+This release was singularly focused and some contributions by third parties
+were delayed.

+# 0.0.102 - 2021-10-18
+
+## API Updates
+ * `get_route` now takes a `Score` as an argument. `Score` is queried during
+ the route-finding process, returning the absolute amounts which you are
+ willing to pay to avoid routing over a given channel. As a default, a
+ `Scorer` is provided which returns a constant amount, with a suggested
+ default of 500 msat. This translates to a willingness to pay up to 500 msat
+ in additional fees per hop in order to avoid additional hops (#1124).
+ * `Event::PaymentPathFailed` now contains a `short_channel_id` field which may
+ be filled in with a channel that can be "blamed" for the payment failure.
+ Payment retries should likely avoid the given channel for some time (#1077).
+ * `PublicKey`s in `NetworkGraph` have been replaced with a `NodeId` struct
+ which contains only a simple `[u8; 33]`, substantially improving
+ `NetworkGraph` deserialization performance (#1107).
+ * `ChainMonitor`'s `HashMap` of `ChannelMonitor`s is now private, exposed via
+ `Chainmonitor::get_monitor` and `ChainMonitor::list_monitors` instead
+ (#1112).
+ * When an outbound channel is closed prior to the broadcasting of its funding
+ transaction, but after you call
+ `ChannelManager::funding_transaction_generated`, a new event type,
+ `Event::DiscardFunding`, is generated, informing you the transaction was not
+ broadcasted and that you can spend the same inputs again elsewhere (#1098).
+ * `ChannelManager::create_channel` now returns the temporary channel ID which
+ may later appear in `Event::ChannelClosed` or `ChannelDetails` prior to the
+ channel being funded (#1121).
+ * `Event::PaymentSent` now contains the payment hash as well as the payment
+ preimage (#1062).
+ * `ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::get_addresses` now returns owned `NetAddress` rather
+ than references. As a side-effect this method is now exposed in foreign
+ language bindings (#1115).
+ * The `Persist` and `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr` types have moved to the
+ `lightning::chain::chainmonitor` and `lightning::chain` modules,
+ respectively (#1112).
+ * `ChannelManager::send_payment` now returns a `PaymentId` which identifies a
+ payment (whether MPP or not) and can be used to retry the full payment or
+ MPP parts through `retry_payment` (#1096). Note that doing so is currently
+ *not* crash safe, and you may find yourself sending twice. It is recommended
+ that you *not* use the `retry_payment` API until the next release.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+ * Due to an earlier fix for the Lightning dust inflation vulnerability tracked
+ in CVE-2021-41591/CVE-2021-41592/CVE-2021-41593 in 0.0.100, we required
+ counterparties to accept a dust limit slightly lower than the dust limit now
+ required by other implementations. This appeared as, at least, latest lnd
+ always refusing to accept channels opened by LDK clients (#1065).
+ * If there are multiple channels available to the same counterparty,
+ `get_route` would only consider the channel listed last as available for
+ sending (#1100).
+ * `Persist` implementations returning
+ `ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure` from `watch_channel` previously
+ resulted in the `ChannelMonitor` not being stored at all, resulting in a
+ panic after monitor updating is complete (#1112).
+ * If payments are pending awaiting forwarding at startup, an
+ `Event::PendingHTLCsForwardable` event will always be provided. This ensures
+ user code calls `ChannelManager::process_pending_htlc_fowards` even if it
+ shut down while awaiting the batching timer during the previous run (#1076).
+ * If a call to `ChannelManager::send_payment` failed due to lack of
+ availability of funds locally, LDK would store the payment as pending
+ forever, with no ability to retry or fail it, leaking memory (#1109).
+
+## Serialization Compatibility
+ * All above new Events/fields are ignored by prior clients. All above new
+ Events/fields, except for `Event::PaymentSent::payment_hash` are not present
+ when reading objects serialized by prior versions of the library.
