We're pleased to announce c-lightning 0.6.1, named by co-maintainer ZmnSCPxj.
Highlights for c-lightning users * Less stuck payments: Liveness ping test before locking up funds with peers. * Better routing: now considers size of channels. * Fewer spurious closes: fee estimate improvements, and new feerates command * Several annoying bugs fixed. * Ubuntu PPA at https://launchpad.net/~lightningnetwork/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Highlights for the network: * Gossipd now less spammy with channel_update. * option_data_loss_protect to protect peers against being out-of-date. * Payment errors now refer to the correct channel. Internal Improvements * Simplified client flow; after init message exchange by connectd, each is isolated in its own daemon. * JSON parameter handling vastly simplfied. * Python testing framework now uses proper fixtures, and split into separate files. * Many other cleanups and clarifications. * We keepachangelog.com!
