 ## Next release
 
 #### New Features
-This new feature enables loop out and autoloop out operations to sweep htlcs to addresses generated from an extened public key.
-A precondition for using the loop client in this fashion is onboarding a xpub account in the backing lnd instance, e.g.
-`lncli wallet accounts import xpub... my_loop_account --address_type p2tr --master_key_fingerprint 0df50`.
-Loop outs can then be instructed to sweep to a new derived address from the specified account, e.g:
-`loop out --amt 10000000 --account my_loop_account --address_type p2tr`.
-To use this functionality with autoloop out one has to set the backing lnd account and address type via liquidity parameters for autoloop, e.g.
-`loop --network regtest setparams --autoloop=true --account=my_loop_account --account_addr_type=p2tr ...`
