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

• Deprecated boltdb, we now support both sqlite and postgres. On first startup, loop will automatically migrate your database to sqlite. If you want to use postgres, you can set the --databasebackend flag to postgres and set the --postgres.host, --postgres.port, --postgres.user, --postgres.password and --postgres.dbname flags to connect to your postgres instance. Your boltdb file will be saved as a backup in the loop directory. NOTE: we're currently only supporting migrating once from boltdb to a sql backend. A manual migration between postgres and sqlite will be supported in the future.
