All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
- Documentation: Added CHANGELOG.md
- JSON API:
getinfo
has new fieldsalias
andcolor
. - JSON API:
listpeers
has new fieldsglobal_features
andlocal_features
. - JSON API:
listnodes
has new fieldglobal_features
. - JSON API:
ping
command to send a ping to a connected peer. - Protocol: gossipd now deliberately delays spamming with
channel_update
. - Protocol: liveness ping when we commit changes but peer is idle: speeds up failures and reduces forced closures.
- Config:
--conf
option to set config file. - JSON API: Added description to invoices and payments (#1740).
- pylightning: RpcError now has
method
andpayload
fields.
- Config: You can only announce one address if each type (IPv4, IPv6, TORv2, TORv3).
- Protocol: Fee estimates are now smoothed over time, to avoid sudden jumps.
- lightning-cli: the help command for a specific command now runs the
man
command. - HSM: The HSM daemon now maintains the per-peer secrets, rather than handing them out. It's still lax in what it signs though.
- connectd: A new daemon
lightning_connectd
handles connecting to/from peers, instead ofgossipd
doing that itself.lightning_openingd
now handles peers immediately, even if they never actually open a channel. - Test:
python-xdist
is now a dependency for tests. - Logging: JSON connections no longer spam debug logs.
- Routing: We no longer consider channels that are not usable either because of
their capacity or their
htlc_minimum_msat
parameter (#1777) - We now try to connect to all known addresses for a peer, not just the one given or the first one announced.
Note: You should always set allow-deprecated-apis=false
to test for
changes.
- JSON API:
listpeers
results no long havealias
andcolor
fields; they're inlistnodes
(we used to internally merge the information). - JSON API:
listpeers
will never havestate
field (it accidentally used to exist and set toGOSSIPING
before we opened a channel).connected
will indicate if we're connected, and thechannels
array indicates individual channel states (if any). - Removed all Deprecated options from 0.6.
- Options:
bind-addr
of a publicly accessible network address was announced. - Protocol:
node_announcement
multiple addresses are correctly ordered and uniquified. - JSON API:
listnodes
: now displays node aliases and colors even if they don't advertise a network address - JSON API:
fundchannel all
: now restricts to 2^24-1 satoshis rather than failing. - When we reconnect and have to retransmit failing HTLCs, the errors weren't encrypted by us.
lightningd_config
man page is now installed bymake install
.- Fixed crash when shutting down during opening a channel (#1737)
- Don't lose track of our own output when applying penalty transaction (#1738)
- Protocol:
channel_update
inside error messages now refers to correct channel. - Stripping type prefix from
channel_update
s that are nested in an onion reply to be compatible with eclair and lnd (#1730). - JSON API:
listnodes
: now correctly printsaddresses
if more than one is advertised. - Failing tests no longer delete the test directory, to allow easier debugging (Issue: #1599)
0.6 - 2018-06-22
In the prehistory of c-lightning, no changelog was kept. But major JSON API changes are tracked.
