## [Unreleased]

### Added

- JSON API: New command `setchannelfee` sets channel specific routing fees.
- JSON API: `newaddr` outputs `bech32` or `p2sh-segwit`, or both with new `all` parameter (#2390)
- JSON API: `listpeers` status now shows how many confirmations until channel is open (#2405)
- Config: Adds parameter `min-capacity-sat` to reject tiny channels.
- JSON API: `listforwards` now includes the time an HTLC was received and when it was resolved. Both are expressed as UNIX timestamps to facilitate parsing (Issue [#2491](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/2491), PR [#2528](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/2528))
+- JSON API: new plugin hooks `invoice_payment` for intercepting invoices before they're paid, `openchannel` for intercepting channel opens, and `htlc_accepted` to decide whether to resolve, reject or continue an incoming or forwarded payment..
- plugin: the `connected` hook can now send an `error_message` to the rejected peer.
- Protocol: we now enforce `option_upfront_shutdown_script` if a peer negotiates it.
- JSON API: `listforwards` now includes the local_failed forwards with failcode (Issue [#2435](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/2435), PR [#2524](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/2524))
- Config: Added a default plugin directory : `lightning_dir/plugins`. Each plugin directory it contains will be added to lightningd on startup.
- DB: Store the signatures of channel announcement sent from remote peer into DB, and init channel with signatures from DB directly when reenable the channel.
(Issue [#2409](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/2409))
- JSON API: new withdraw methods `txprepare`, `txsend` and `txdiscard`.

### Changed

- JSON API: `invoice` expiry defaults to 7 days, and can have s/m/h/d/w suffixes.
- Config: Increased default amount for minimal channel capacity from 1k sat to 10k sat.
- Build: Non-developer builds are now done with "-Og" optimization.
- JSON API: `pay` will no longer return failure until it is no longer retrying; previously it could "timeout" but still make the payment.
- JSON API: the command objects that `help` outputs now contain a new string field : `category` (can be "bitcoin", "channels", "network", "payment", "plugins", "utility", "developer" for native commands, or any other new category set by a plugin).
- Plugins: a plugin can now set the category of a newly created RPC command. This possibility has been added to libplugin.c and pylightning.
- CLI: the human readable help is now more human and more readable : commands are sorted alphabetically and ordered by categories.

### Deprecated

Note: You should always set `allow-deprecated-apis=false` to test for
changes.

- JSON API: `newaddr` output field `address`: use `bech32` or `p2sh-segwit` instead.

### Removed

- JSON RPC: `global_features` and `local_features` fields and `listchannels`' `flags` field.  (Deprecated since 0.6.2).

### Fixed

- protocol: reconnection during closing negotiation now supports
  `option_data_loss_protect` properly.
- `--bind-addr=<path>` fixed for nodes using local sockets (eg. testing).
- Unannounced local channels were forgotten for routing on restart until reconnection occurred.
- lightning-cli: arguments containing `"` now succeed, rather than causing JSON errors.
- protocol: handle lnd sending more messages before `reestablish`; don't fail channel, and handle older lnd's spurious empty commitments.
- Fixed `fundchannel` crash when we have many UTXOs and we skip unconfirmed ones.
- lightningd: fixed occasional hang on `connect` when peer had sent error.
- JSON RPC: `decodeinvoice` and `pay` now handle unknown invoice fields properly.
- JSON API: `waitsendpay` (PAY_STOPPED_RETRYING) error handler now returns valid JSON

### Security

## [0.7.0] - 2019-02-28: "Actually an Altcoin"

This release named by Mark Beckwith @wythe.

### Added

- plugins: fully enabled, and ready for you to write some!
- plugins: `pay` is now a plugin.
- protocol: `pay` will now use routehints in invoices if it needs to.
- build: reproducible source zipfile and Ubuntu 18.04.1 build.
- JSON API: New command `paystatus` gives detailed information on `pay` commands.
- JSON API: `getroute`, `invoice`, `sendpay` and `pay` commands `msatoshi`
  parameter can have suffixes `msat`, `sat` (optionally with 3 decimals) or `btc`
  (with 1 to 11 decimal places).
- JSON API: `fundchannel` and `withdraw` commands `satoshi`
  parameter can have suffixes `msat` (must end in `000`), `sat` or `btc`
  (with 1 to 8 decimal places).
- JSON API: `decodepay`, `getroute`, `sendpay`, `pay`, `listpeers`, `listfunds`, `listchannels` and
  all invoice commands now return an `amount_msat` field which has an `msat` suffix.
- JSON API: `listfunds` `channels` now has `_msat` fields for each existing raw amount field, with `msat` suffix.
- JSON API: `waitsendpay` now has an `erring_direction` field.
- JSON API: `listpeers` now has a `direction` field in `channels`.
- JSON API: `listchannels` now takes a `source` option to filter by node id.
- JSON API: `getroute` `riskfactor` argument is simplified; `pay` now defaults to setting it to 10.
- JSON API: `sendpay` now takes a `bolt11` field, and it's returned in `listpayments` and `waitsendpay`.
- JSON API: `fundchannel` and `withdraw` now have a new parameter `minconf` that limits coinselection to outputs that have at least `minconf` confirmations (default 1). (#2380)
- JSON API: `listfunds` now displays addresses for all outputs owned by the wallet (#2387)
- JSON API: `waitsendpay` and `sendpay` output field `label` as specified by `sendpay` call.
- JSON API: `listpays` command for higher-level payment view than `listpayments`, especially important with multi-part-payments coming.
- JSON API: `listpayments` is now `listsendpays`.
- lightning-cli: `help <cmd>` finds man pages even if `make install` not run.
- pylightning: New class 'Millisatoshi' can be used for JSON API, and new '_msat' fields are turned into this on reading.

### Changed

- protocol: `option_data_loss_protect` is now enabled by default.
- JSON API: The `short_channel_id` separator has been changed to be `x` to match the specification.
- JSON API: `listpeers` now includes `funding_allocation_msat`, which returns a map of the amounts initially funded to the channel by each peer, indexed by channel id.
- JSON API: `help` with a `command` argument gives a JSON array, like other commands.
- JSON API: `sendpay` `description` parameter is renamed `label`.
- JSON API: `pay` now takes an optional `label` parameter for labelling payments, in place of never-used `description`.
- build: we'll use the system libbase58 and libsodium if found suitable.

### Deprecated

Note: You should always set `allow-deprecated-apis=false` to test for
changes.

We recommend that you transition to the reading the new JSON `_msat`
fields for your own sanity checking, and that you similarly
provide appropriate suffixes for JSON input fields.

- JSON API: `short_channel_id` fields in JSON commands with `:` separators (use `x` instead).
- JSON API: `pay` `description` is deprecated, as is support for BOLT11 strings using `h`.
- JSON API: `sendpay` parameter `description` and `waitsendpay` and `sendpay` output fields `description` (now `label`).
- JSON API: `listpayments` has been deprecated (you probably want `listpays`)

### Removed

- JSON API: the `waitsendpay` command error return no longer includes `channel_update`

### Fixed

- Protocol: handling `query_channel_range` for large numbers of blocks
  (eg. 4 billion) was slow due to a bug.
- Fixed occasional deadlock with peers when exchanging huge amounts of gossip.
- Fixed a crash when running in daemon-mode due to db filename overrun (#2348)
- Handle lnd sending premature 'funding_locked' message when we're expected 'reestablish';
  we used to close channel if this happened.
- Cleanup peers that started opening a channel, but then disconnected. These
  would leave a dangling entry in the DB that would cause this peer to be
  unable to connect. (PR #2371)
- You can no longer make giant unpayable "wumbo" invoices.
- CLTV of total route now correctly evaluated when finding best route.
- `riskfactor` arguments to `pay` and `getroute` now have an effect.
- Fixed the version of bip32 private_key to BIP32_VER_MAIN_PRIVATE: we used
  BIP32_VER_MAIN_PRIVATE for bitcoin/litecoin mainnet, and BIP32_VER_TEST_PRIVATE
  for others. (PR #2436)

### Security

## [0.6.3] - 2019-01-09: "The Smallblock Conspiracy"

This release named by @molxyz and [@ctrlbreak](https://twitter.com/ctrlbreak).

### Added

- JSON API: New command `check` checks the validity of a JSON API call without running it.
- JSON API: `getinfo` now returns `num_peers` `num_pending_channels`,
  `num_active_channels` and `num_inactive_channels` fields.
- JSON API: use `\n\n` to terminate responses, for simplified parsing (pylightning now relies on this)
- JSON API: `fundchannel` now includes an `announce` option, when false it will keep channel private. Defaults to true.
- JSON API: `listpeers`'s `channels` now includes a `private` flag to indicate if channel is announced or not.
- JSON API: `invoice` route hints may now include private channels if you have no public ones, unless new option `exposeprivatechannels` is false.

- JSON-RPC: `jsonrpc`:`2.0` now included in json-rpc command calls. complies with spec.

### Deprecated

Note: You should always set `allow-deprecated-apis=false` to test for
changes.

- pylightning: Support for pre-2-newline JSON-RPC (<= 0.6.2 lightningd) is deprecated.

### Removed

- option_data_loss_protect is now only offered if EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES is enabled, since it seems incompatible with lnd and has known bugs.

This release named by practicalswift.

### Added

- JSON API: `listpeers` has new field `scratch_txid`: the latest tx in channel.
- JSON API: `listpeers` has new array `htlcs`: the current live payments.
- JSON API: `listchannels` has two new fields: `message_flags` and `channel_flags`. This replaces `flags`.
- JSON API: `invoice` now adds route hint to invoices for incoming capacity (RouteBoost), and warns if insufficient capacity.

### Changed

- Protocol: `channel_update` sent to disable channel only if we reject an HTLC.
- Protocol: we don't send redundant `node_announcement` on every new channel.
- Config: config file can override `lightning-dir` (makes sense with `--conf`).

### Removed

- JSON API: the optional 'seed' parameter to `getroute` was removed.

### Fixed

- Startup: more coherent complaint if daemon already running.
- Lightningd: correctly save full HTLCs across restarts; fixup old databases.
- JSON RPC: `getinfo` now shows correct Tor port.
- JSON RPC: `ping` now works even after one peer fails to respond.
- JSON RPC: `getroute` `fuzzpercent` and `pay` `maxfeepercent` can now be > 100.
- JSON RPC: `riskfactor` in `pay` and `getroute` no longer always treated as 1.
- JSON-RPC: `listpeers` was always reporting 0 for all stats.
- JSON RPC: `withdraw all` says `Cannot afford transaction` if you have
             absolutely no funds, rather than `Output 0 satoshis would be dust`.

### Security

## [0.6.1] - 2018-09-11: "Principled Opposition To Segwit"

This release named by ZmnSCPxj.

### Added

- 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.
- Protocol: `option_data_loss_protect` now supported to protect peers
  against being out-of-date.
- JSON API: Added description to invoices and payments (#1740).
- JSON API: `getinfo` has new fields `alias` and `color`.
- JSON API: `listpeers` has new fields `global_features` and `local_features`.
- JSON API: `listnodes` has new field `global_features`.
- JSON API: `ping` command to send a ping to a connected peer.

- JSON API: `withdraw` and `fundchannel` can be given manual feerate.
- Config: `--conf` option to set config file.
- Documentation: Added CHANGELOG.md
- pylightning: RpcError now has `method` and `payload` fields.
- Sending lightningd a SIGHUP will make it reopen its `log-file`, if any.

### Changed

- Protocol: Fee estimates are now smoothed over time, to avoid sudden jumps.
- Config: You can only announce one address if each type (IPv4, IPv6,
  TORv2, TORv3).
- 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 of `gossipd` 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.
- Crash logs are now placed one-per file like `crash.log.20180822233752`
- We will no longer allow withdrawing funds or funding channels if we
  do not have a fee estimate (eg. bitcoind not synced); use new `feerate` arg.

### Deprecated

### Removed

- JSON API: `listpeers` results no long have `alias` and `color` fields;
  they're in `listnodes` (we used to internally merge the information).
- JSON API: `listpeers` will never have `state` field (it accidentally
  used to exist and set to `GOSSIPING` before we opened a channel).
  `connected` will indicate if we're connected, and the `channels`
  array indicates individual channel states (if any).
- Config: `default-fee-rate` is no longer available; use explicit `feerate`
  option if necessary.
- Removed all Deprecated options from 0.6.

### Fixed

- Protocol: `node_announcement` multiple addresses are correctly ordered and uniquified.
- Protocol: if we can't estimate feerate, be almost infinitely
  tolerant of other side setting fees to avoid unilateral close.
- 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.
- JSON API: `listnodes`: now correctly prints `addresses` if more than
  one is advertised.
- Config: `bind-addr` of a publicly accessible network address was announced.
- When we reconnect and have to retransmit failing HTLCs, the errors weren't
  encrypted by us.
- `lightningd_config` man page is now installed by `make 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).
- Failing tests no longer delete the test directory, to allow easier debugging
  (Issue: #1599)
