# Loop Client Release Notes
This file tracks release notes for the loop client.
### Developers:
* When new features are added to the repo, a short description of the feature should be added under the "Next Release" heading.
* This should be done in the same PR as the change so that our release notes stay in sync!
### Release Manager:
* All of the items under the "Next Release" heading should be included in the release notes.
* As part of the PR that bumps the client version, the "Next Release" heading should be replaced with the release version including the changes.
## Next Release
#### New Features
#### 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.
