0.0.116-rc1 - Jul 17, 2023 - "Anchoring the Roadmap"
API Updates
===========
* Support for zero-HTLC-fee anchor output channels has been added and is now
considered beta (#2367). Users who set
`ChannelHandshakeConfig::negotiate_anchors_zero_fee_htlc_tx` should be
prepared to handle the new `Event::BumpTransaction`, e.g. via the
`BumpTransactionEventHandler` (#2089). Users who set the same and wish to
accept inbound anchor-based channels must do so manually by setting
`UserConfig::manually_accept_inbound_channels` (#2368).
* Support forwarding and accepting HTLCs with a reduced amount has been added,
to support LSPs skimming a fee on the penultimate hop (#2319).
* BOLT11 and BOLT12 Invoice and related types have been renamed to include a
BOLTNN prefix, ensuring uniqueness in `lightning{,-invoice}` crates (#2416).
* `Score`rs now have an associated type which represents a parameter passed
when calculating penalties. This allows for the same `Score`r to be used with
different penalty calculation parameters (#2237).
* `DefaultRouter` is no longer restrained to a `Mutex`-wrapped `Score`,
allowing it to be used in `no-std` builds (#2383).
* `CustomMessageHandler::provided_{node,init}_features` and various custom
feature bit methods on `*Features` were added (#2204).
* Keysend/push payments using MPP are now supported when receiving if
`UserConfig::accept_mpp_keysend` is set and when sending if specified in the
`PaymentParameters`. Note that not all recipients support this (#2156).
* A new `ConfirmationTarget::MempoolMinimum` has been added (#2415).
* `SpendableOutputDescriptor::to_psbt_input` was added (#2286).
* `ChannelManager::update_partial_channel_config` was added (#2330).
* `ChannelDetails::channel_shutdown_state` was added (#2347).
* The shutdown script can now be provided at shutdown time via
`ChannelManager::close_channel_with_feerate_and_script` (#2219).
* `BroadcasterInterface` now takes multiple transactions at once. While not
available today, in the future single calls should be passed to a full node
via a single batch/package transaction acceptance API (#2272).
* `Balance::claimable_amount_satoshis` was added (#2333).
* `payment_{hash,preimage}` have been added to some `Balance` variants (#2217).
* The `lightning::chain::keysinterface` is now `lightning::sign` (#2246).
* Routing to a blinded path has been implemented, though sending to such a
route is not yet supported in `ChannelManager` (#2120).
* `OffersMessageHandler` was added for offers-related onion messages (#2294).
* The `CustomMessageHandler` parameter to `PeerManager` has moved to
`MessageHandler` from `PeerManager::new` explicitly (#2249).
* Various P2P messages for dual funding channel establishment have been added,
though handling for them is not yet in `ChannelManager` (#1794)
* Script-fetching methods in `sign` interfaces can now return errors, see docs
for the implications of failing (#2213).
* The `data_loss_protect` option is now required when reading
`channel_reestablish` messages, as many others have done (#2253).
* `InFlightHtlcs::add_inflight_htlc` has been added (#2042).
* The `init` message `networks` field is now written and checked (#2329).
* `PeerManager` generics have been simplified with the introduction of the
`APeerManager` trait (#2249).
* `ParitalOrd` and `Ord` are now implemented for `Invoice` (#2279).
* `ParitalEq` and `Debug` are now implemented for `InMemorySigner` (#2328).
* `ParitalEq` and `Eq` are now implemented for `PaymentError` (#2316).
* `NetworkGraph::update_channel_from_announcement_no_lookup` was added (#2222).
* `lightning::routing::gossip::verify_{channel,node}_announcement` was added
(#2307).
Backwards Compatibility
=======================
* `PaymentParameters` written with blinded path info using LDK 0.0.115 will not
be readable in LDK 0.0.116, and vice versa.
* Forwarding less than `Event::HTLCIntercepted::expected_outbound_amount_msat`
in `ChannelManager::forward_intercepted_htlc` may prevent the
`ChannelManager` from being read by LDK prior to 0.0.116 (#2319)
* Setting `ChannelConfig::accept_underpaying_htlcs` may prevent the
`ChannelManager` from being read by LDK prior to 0.0.116 and un-setting the
parameter between restarts may lead to payment failures (#2319).
* `ChannelManager::create_inbound_payment{,_for_hash}_legacy` has been removed,
removing the ability to create inbound payments which are claimable after
downgrade to LDK 0.0.103 and prior. In the future handling such payments will
also be removed (#2351).
* Some fields required by LDK 0.0.103 and earlier are no longer written, thus
deserializing objects written by 0.0.116 with 0.0.103 may now fail (#2351).
Bug Fixes
=========
* `ChannelDetails::next_outbound_htlc_limit_msat` was made substantially more
accurate and a corresponding `next_outbound_htlc_minimum_msat` was added.
This resolves issues where unpayable routes were generated due to
overestimation of the amount which is payable over one of our channels as
the first hop (#2312).
* A rare case where delays in processing `Event`s generated by
`ChannelMonitor`s could lead to loss of those events in case of an untimely
crash. This could lead to the loss of an `Event::SpendableOutputs` (#2369).
* Fixed a regression in 0.0.115 which caused `PendingHTLCsForwardable` events
to be missed when processing phantom node receives. This caused such
payments to be delayed until a further, unrelated HTLC came in (#2395).
* Peers which are unresponsive to channel messages for several timer ticks are
now disconnected to allow for on-reconnection state machine reset. This
works around some issues in LND prior to 16.3 which can cause channels to
hang and eventually force-close (#2293).
* `ChannelManager::new` now requires the current time (either from a recent
block header or the system clock), ensuring invoices created immediately
after startup aren't already expired (#2372).
* Resolved an issue where reading a `ProbabilisticScorer` on some platforms
(e.g. iOS) can lead to a panic (#2322).
* `ChannelConfig::max_dust_htlc_exposure` is now allowed to scale based on
current fees, and the default has been updated to do so. This substantially
reduces the chance of force-closure due to dust exposure. Note that existing
channels will retain their current value and you may wish to update the
value on your existing channels on upgrade (#2354).
* `PeerManager::process_events` no longer blocks in any case. This fixes a bug
where reentrancy from `PeerManager` into user code which eventually calls
`process_events` could lead to a deadlock (#2280).
* The persist timing of network graph and scoring in
`lightning-background-processor` has been tweaked to provide more reliable
persistence after updates to either (#2226).
* The number of route hints added to BOLT 11 invoices by the
`lightning-invoice::utils` builders has been reduced to three to ensure
invoices can be represented in scan-able QR codes (#2044).
* Fixed sending large onion messages, which would previously have resulted in
an HMAC error on the second hop (#2277).
* Fixed a memory leak that may occur when a `ChannelManager` or
`ChannelMonitor` is `drop`ed (#2233).
* A potential deadlock in calling `NetworkGraph::eq` was resolved (#2284).
* Fixed an overflow which prevented disconnecting peers in some minor cases
with more than 31 peers (#2245).
* Gossip messages with an unknown chain hash are now ignored (#2230).
* Rapid Gossip Sync processing now fails on an unknown chain hash (#2324).
* `RouteHintHop::htlc_maximum_msat` is now enforced. Note that BOLT11 route
hints do not have such a field so this code is generally unused (#2305).
