📝 Original message:
We're pleased to announce the 0.11.0 release of c-lightning, named on
behalf of @SimonVrouwe.
This release is the first under the rebranded "Core Lightning" name.
(Note: binaries are labelled v0.11.0.1 due to a minor bugfix required
for reproducible builds).
Highlights for Users
====================
* We now finally support multiple live channels to the same peer!
* If we detect rust support, we'll build the cln-grpc plugin for full
native GRPC support.
* We advertize an external IP address if it's reported by two or more
peers (disable-ip-discovery or always-use-proxy disables).
* You can specify two databases with --wallet, and we'll write to both
at once (sqlite3 only).
* pay supports BOLT 11 payment metadata: we'll send it if it's in the invoice.
* New setchannel command (deprecates setchannelfee) allows setting max
and min HTLC amounts. Try lightning-cli setchannel all 0 for #zerobasefee.
* pay can be forced to exclude channels or nodes with the exclude
* Significant speedup in start times for old nodes with many historical HTLCs.
Highlights for the Network
==========================
* We send the remote node's IP address in the init message, so they can
tell what it is. (lightning/bolts#917)
* We are more aggressive in sending our own gossip to peers, to help propagation.
* Default port is set by network, so regtest and testnet defaults are
different. (lightning/bolts#968)
* We never generate legacy onions, it's always TLV.
We still forward legacy onions for now.
* We flush sockets before closing, so errors are more likely to reach the peer.
* Experimental support for announcing DNS addresses in node_announcement
(lightning/bolts#911)
Highlights for Developers
=========================
* pay has a maxfee parameter, which sets a simple LND-style upper fee
(vs using maxfeepercent and exemptfee)
* You can create invoices with only a description hash, using
deschashonly. We still store the full description, so use restraint!
* pay has deprecated paying solely by description hash: you should
provide the full description, too.
* delinvoice has a new desconly parameter to simply trim the
descriptions, but leave the rest intact.
* We have a rust crate cln-rpc to easily interact with our JSON-RPC.
* msggen tool allows easy generation of language bindings for our JSON
RPC interface.
More details can be found in the CHANGELOG.md.
