#### Breaking Changes
* Macaroon authentication has been enabled for the `loopd` gRPC and REST
connections. This makes it possible for the loop API to be exposed safely over
the internet as unauthorized access is now prevented.
The daemon will write a default `loop.macaroon` in its main directory. For
mainnet this file will be picked up automatically by the `loop` CLI tool. For
testnet you need to specify the `--network=testnet` flag.
