Release Notes

RPC

The RegisterConfirmationsNtfn call of the chainnotifier RPC sub-server now optionally supports returning the entire block that confirmed the transaction.

• Add macaroon_root_key field to InitWalletRequest to allow specifying a root key for macaroons during wallet init rather than having lnd randomly generate one for you.

• A new SignedInputs field is added to SignPsbtResponse that returns the indices of inputs that were signed by our wallet. Prior to this change SignPsbt didn't indicate whether the Psbt held any inputs for our wallet to sign.

• Add list addresses RPC.

Misc

• Warning messages from peers are now recognized and logged by lnd.

• Fixed error typo.

• The macaroon key store implementation was refactored to be more generally usable.

• Fixed a bug where cookie authentication with Tor would fail if the cookie path contained spaces. With the module updated, lnd now parses Tor control port messages correctly.

lncli

• Add an insecure flag to skip tls auth as well as a metadata string slice flag that allows the caller to specify key-value string pairs that should be appended to the outgoing context.

Code Health

Tooling and documentation
