Lightning Terminal

Bug Fixes

Functional Changes/Additions

• dev.Dockerfile now uses cache mounts to cache the GOMODCACHE and GOCACHE directories so that dependencies don't need to be re-downloaded and re-built every time the image is re-created. As a result of this change, dev.Dockerfile now requires BuildKit to build. When using docker build, this can be enabled by setting the environmental variable DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1. BuildKit also does not unnecessarily rebuild images when the build context is a remote git repository because COPY layers are more smartly compared to cache.

Technical and Architectural Updates

RPC Updates

• Updated litcli to support sending an asset payment without specifying a single peer. This will use the new multi-rfq feature of taproot-assets which will automatically pick the rfq peers for you. The field rfq_peer_pubkey is now optional for both adding invoices and sending payments.

Integrated Binary Updates

• Bumped dependencies for LND, taproot-assets, loop, lndclient.

• Enhanced tap-channel integration tests to cover more edge cases and features, and also added coverage to verify support for channel versioning:
