Lightning Terminal

Bug Fixes

• Fixed navigation issues when creating a custom Lightning Node Connect session via the UI.

Functional Changes/Additions

• litcli: global flags to allow overrides via environment variables litcli --help for more details.

Technical and Architectural Updates

• Correctly move a session to the Expired state instead of the Revoked state if it is in fact being revoked due to the session expiry being reached.
• Merge package litclient into litrpc to reduce the number of Lightning Node Connect import dependencies.
• Convert package perms into a module to reduce the number of Lightning Node Connect import dependencies.

RPC Updates

• Add account credit and debit commands that allow increasing or decreasing the balance of an off-chain account by a specified amount.

• The accounts update --new_balance flag has been deprecated. Use the accounts update credit and accounts update debit commands instead, to update an account's balance. The flag will no longer be supported in Lightning Terminal v0.16.0-alpha.

• The litrpc.Proxy endpoints are now exposed over LNC.
  Note that this also exposes the stop and bakesupermacaroon endpoints over LNC. If this is not desired, it is recommended to fine-tune the macaroon created for the LNC session. Specifically, remove the proxy:write permission to disable access to the stop endpoint, and the supermacaroon:write permission to disable access to the bakesupermacaroon endpoint.

• A commit_hash field has been added to the GetInfo response. The commit_hash field will contain the full commit hash of the commit that LiT release binary build was based on. If the build had uncommitted changes, the commit_hash field will contain the most recent commit hash, suffixed by "-dirty". The contents of the version field in the GetInfo response has also been updated to only include the semantic version number of the LiT release, following the semantic versioning 2.0.0 spec (http://semver.org/).

• A commit_hash field has been added to the --version output. The commit_hash field will contain the full commit hash of the commit that LiT release binary build was based on.
