## [0.7.3] - 2019-10-18: "Bitcoin's Proof of Stake"

This release named by @trueptolemy.

### Added

- DB: lightningd now supports different SQL backends, instead of the default which is sqlite3. Adds a PostgresSQL driver
- elements: Add support of Liquid-BTC on elements
- JSON API: `close` now accepts an optional parameter `destination`, to which the to-local output will be sent.
- JSON API: `txprepare` and `withdraw` now accept an optional parameter `utxos`, a list of utxos to include in the prepared transaction
- JSON API: `listfunds` now lists a blockheight for confirmed transactions, and has `connected` and `state` fields for channels, like `listpeers`.
- JSON API: `fundchannel_start` now includes field `scriptpubkey`
- JSON API: New method `listtransactions`
- JSON API: `signmessage` will now create a signature from your node on a message; `checkmessage` will verify it.
- JSON API: `fundchannel_start` now accepts an optional parameter `close_to`, the address to which these channel funds should be sent to on close. Returns `using_close_to` if will use.
- Plugin: new notifications `sendpay_success` and `sendpay_failure`.
- Protocol: nodes now announce features in `node_announcement` broadcasts.
- Protocol: we now offer `option_gossip_queries_ex` for finegrained gossip control.
- Protocol: we now retransmit `funding_locked` upon reconnection while closing if there was no update
- Protocol: no longer ask for `initial_routing_sync` (only affects ancient peers).
- bolt11: support for parsing feature bits (field `9`).
- Wallet: we now support the encryption of the BIP32 master seed (a.k.a. `hsm_secret`).

- Protocol: We now push our own gossip to all peers, independent of their filter.
- Protocol: Now follows spec in responses to short channel id queries on unknown chainhashes
- Tor: We default now with autotor to generate if possible temporary ED25519-V3 onions.  You can use new option `enable-autotor-v2-mode` to fallback to V2 RSA1024 mode.

## [0.7.2.1] - 2019-08-19: "Nakamoto's Pre-approval by US Congress"

This release named by Antoine Poinsot @darosior.

(Technically a .1 release, as it contains last-minute fixes after 0.7.2 was tagged)

### Added

- JSON API: a new command `plugin` allows one to manage plugins without restarting `lightningd`.
- Plugin: a new boolean field can be added to a plugin manifest, `dynamic`. It allows a plugin to tell if it can be started or stopped "on-the-fly".
- Plugin: a new boolean field is added to the `init`'s `configuration`, `startup`. It allows a plugin to know if it has been started on `lightningd` startup.
- Plugin: new notifications `invoice_payment`, `forward_event` and `channel_opened`.
- Protocol: `--enable-experimental-features` adds gossip query extensions
  aka https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/pull/557
- contrib: new `bootstrap-node.sh` to connect to random mainnet nodes.
- JSON API: `listfunds` now returns also `funding_output` for `channels`
- Plugin: plugins can now suggest `lightning-cli` default to -H for responses.
- Lightningd: add support for `signet` networks using the `--network=signet` or `--signet` startup option

### Changed

- Build: now requires `python3-mako` to be installed, i.e. `sudo apt-get install python3-mako`
- JSON API: `close` optional arguments have changed: it now defaults to unilateral close after 48 hours.
- Plugin: if the config directory has a `plugins` subdirectory, those are loaded.
- lightningd: check bitcoind version when setup topology and confirm the version not older than v0.15.0.
- Protocol: space out reconnections on startup if we have more than 5 peers.
- JSON API: `listforwards` includes the 'payment_hash' field.
- Plugin: now plugins always run from the `lightning-dir` for easy local storage.

### Deprecated

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

- Plugin: using startup-relative paths for `plugin` and `plugin-dir`: they're now relative to `lightning-dir`.
- JSON API: `listforwards` removed dummy (zero) fields for `out_msat`, `fee_msat`, `in_channel` and `out_channel` if unknown (i.e. deleted from db, or `status` is `local-failed`.

### Removed

### Fixed

- Plugin: `pay` no longer crashes on timeout.
- Plugin: `disconnect` notifier now called if remote side disconnects.
- channeld: ignore, and simply try reconnecting if lnd sends "sync error".
- Protocol: we now correctly ignore unknown odd messages.
- wallet: We will now backfill blocks below our wallet start height on demand when we require them to verify gossip messages. This fixes an issue where we would not remove channels on spend that were opened below that start height because we weren't tracking the funding output.
- Detect when we're still syncing with bitcoin network: don't send or receive
  HTLCs or allow `fundchannel`.
- Rare onchaind error where we don't recover our own unilateral close with multiple same-preimage HTLCs fixed.

### Security

- JSON API: add three new RPC commands: `fundchannel_start`, `fundchannel_complete` and `fundchannel_cancel`. Allows a user to initiate and complete a channel open using funds that are in a external wallet.
- Plugin: new hooks `db_write` for intercepting database writes, `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: new notification `warning` to report any `LOG_UNUSUAL`/`LOG_BROKEN` level event.
- Plugin: Added a default plugin directory : `lightning_dir/plugins`. Each plugin directory it contains will be added to lightningd on startup.

- JSON API: `listchannels` has new fields `htlc_minimum_msat` and `htlc_maximum_msat`.

### Changed

- Gossip: we no longer compact the `gossip_store` file dynamically, due to lingering bugs.  Restart if it gets too large.
- Protocol: no longer ask for entire gossip flood from peers, unless we're missing gossip.
- 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.
- JSON API: A new parameter is added to `fundchannel`, which now accepts an utxo array to use to fund the channel.
- 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).
- Plugin: a plugin can now set the category of a newly created RPC command. This possibility has been added to libplugin.c and pylightning.
- lightning-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

  `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.

## [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`.

### Changed

- Protocol: Fee estimates are now smoothed over time, to avoid sudden jumps.

  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`

  do not have a fee estimate (eg. bitcoind not synced); use new `feerate` arg.

### Deprecated

### Removed

  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`.

- 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)
