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, cut everything below the 'Next Release' heading.
• These notes can either be pasted in a temporary doc, or you can get them from the PR diff once it is merged.
• The notes are just a guideline as to the changes that have been made since the last release, they can be updated.
• Once the version bump PR is merged and tagged, add the release notes to the tag on GitHub.

Next release

New Features

• A new flag, --verbose, or -v, is added to loop in, loop out and loop quote. Responses from these commands are also updated to provide more verbose info, giving users a more intuitive view about money paid on/off-chain and fees incurred. Use loop in -v, loop out -v, loop quote in -v or loop quote out -v to view the details.
• A stripped down version of the Loop server is now provided as a Docker image. A quick start script and example docker-compose environment as well as documentation on how to use the regtest Loop server was added too.
