This release fixes a bug in our router module where we would tag signatures for channel_update messages that include an optional htlc_maximum_msat field as invalid and close the channel, even when these signatures were actually valid.

This bug is specific to our server/desktop node and does not affect our mobile wallet. Our testnet and mainnet nodes have already been patched. We * strongly * encourage users to upgrade as soon as possible.

Verifying signatures

You will need gpg and our release signing key 7A73FE77DE2C4027. Note that you can get it: - from our website: https://acinq.co/pgp/drouinf.asc - from github user @sstone, a committer on eclair: https://api.github.com/users/sstone/gpg_keys

To import our signing key:

$ gpg --import drouinf.asc

To verify the release file checksums and signatures:

$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped
$ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.stripped

Upgrading

This release is compatible with Eclair v0.2-beta7. You don’t need to close your channels, just stop eclair, upgrade and restart.

This is a maintenance release of eclair, which is now compatible with Bitcoin Core v0.17.0 (see our README).It will also work with Bitcoin Core v0.16.3.

This is a maintenance release of eclair, which includes several improvements and bug fixes, including: - improved reporting, more readable and parseable logs, with a default rolling policy (one log file per day) - support for channel range queries, a feature which will speed-up routing table synchronization. This is an important feature for light nodes (mobile nodes, …) - an audit database which keeps tracks of received/sent/relayed payments and miners fee, and new audit, networkfees and channelstats API calls - a “smooth” fee rate estimator, which will prevent channels from being closed when onchain fees change suddenly and peers don’t agree on onchain fee rates - temporary bans of peers that send too many bad routing info items (such as channels announcements for channels that have already been closed)

We strongly recommend that users upgrade their nodes.

Release

There are three different implementations of the Lightning Network. So far two of them have already reached mainnet beta phase (lnd and Eclair), while the last one (c-lightning) is still at the pre-beta phase. Although this is a big step for Lightning technology adoption, it will take some time until the first user-friendly wallets and applications will be available on the mainnet.

This release includes a breaking change in local database format, please close all channels before updating This release is BOLTs compliant . Caveat: If a revoked commitment tx is published, only the offender’s main output will be stolen as punishment, not the HTLCs. Changelog Fixed memory leak and reduce memory usage (#365) Fixed encoding of failure messages (#366) Fixed infinite payment retry loop when receiving unparseable failure messages (#391) JSON-RPC API is disabled by default, it requires a password and CORS is disabled (#354) Added preimage in P aymentSent (#374) Made payment request expiry configurable (#341) (Thanks @btcontract) Added customizable display unit (#396) Various fixes (Thanks @verretor @ KevinKelbie @Christewart) Complete commit logs
