Unreleased

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 lightningd_connectd handles connecting to/from peers, instead of gossipd doing that itself.
Test: python-xdist is now a dependency for tests.
Logging: JSON connections no longer spam debug logs.

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

JSON API: listpeers results no long have alias and color fields; they're in listnodes (we used to internally merge the information).
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
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.

In the prehistory of c-lightning, no changelog was kept. But major JSON API changes are tracked.
