[0.6.3] - 2019-01-09: "The Smallblock Conspiracy"
This release named by @molxyz and @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.
- Plugins: experimental plugin support for `lightningd`, including option
passthrough and JSON-RPC passthrough.
Changed
- JSON API: `pay` and `decodepay` accept and ignore `lightning:` prefixes.
- pylightning: Allow either keyword arguments or positional arguments.
- JSON-RPC: messages are now separated by 2 consecutive newlines.
- 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.
Fixed
- JSON API: uppercase invoices now parsed correctly (broken in 0.6.2).
- JSON API: commands are once again read even if one hasn't responded yet (broken in 0.6.2).
- Protocol: allow lnd to send `update_fee` before `funding_locked`.
- Protocol: fix limit on how much funder can send (fee was 1000x too small)
- Protocol: don't send invalid onion errors if peer says onion was bad.
- Protocol: don't crash when peer sends a 0-block-expiry HTLC.
- pylightning: handle multiple simultanous RPC replies reliably.
We can't run the checkPhase when build != host, so we may as well make
the checkInputs native.
This signicantly improves the situation of Python packages when enabling
strictDeps.
ninja sources include re2c's output files, so unless we change the sources by applying a patch, re2c is not even launched
anyway, it is not relevant to building docs
The Anki manual is distibuted in a separate repository and has to be
patched a bit to work offline.
The in-program manual now points to our distributed offline version.
