This release adds official support for Bolt 12 offers and makes progress on liquidity management features (splicing, liquidity ads, on-the-fly funding). We also stop accepting channels that don't support anchor outputs and update our dependency on Bitcoin Core.
We're still actively working with other implementations to finalize the specification for some of these experimental features. 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 performance improvements, more configuration options and 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.
