This release adds official support for the dual-funding feature, an up-to-date implementation of Bolt 12 offers, and a fully working splicing prototype. We're waiting for the specification work to be finalized for some of those features, and other implementations to be ready for cross-compatibility tests. You should only activate them if you know what you're doing, and are ready to handle backwards-incompatible changes!
This release also contains various on-chain fee improvements, more configuration options, performance enhancements and various minor bug fixes.
The detailed release notes can be found here.
Verifying signatures
You will need gpg and our release signing key 7A73FE77DE2C4027. Note that you can get it:
- from our website: https://acinq.co/pgp/drouinf.asc
- from github user @sstone, a committer on eclair: https://api.github.com/users/sstone/gpg_keys
To import our signing key:
$ gpg --import drouinf.ascTo verify the release file checksums and signatures:
$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped
$ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.strippedBuilding
Eclair builds are deterministic. To reproduce our builds, please use the following environment (*):
- Ubuntu 22.04
- AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.22
- Maven 3.9.2
Use the following command to generate the eclair-node package:
mvn clean install -DskipTestsThat should generate eclair-node/target/eclair-node-<version>-XXXXXXX-bin.zip with sha256 checksums that match the one
we provide and sign in SHA256SUMS.asc
(*) You may be able to build the exact same artefacts with other operating systems or versions of JDK 11, we have not
tried everything.
Upgrading
This release is fully compatible with previous eclair versions. You don't need to close your channels, just stop eclair,
upgrade and restart.
