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