A new thing is EXPERIMENTAL auto-closing of "bad" channels. The actual closing is disabled by default, but the monitoring for "bad" peers is always enabled and you can look at the peer_complaints field of the output of clboss-status to see what CLBOSS thinks are bad peers and how bad they are and why they are bad. Make sure to keep 0.11B or later running for a month before enabling auto-close (a complainer holds off for a week to do some active probing before judging peers as bad, so you want this complainer to be doing this assessment for a few weeks before you can judge whether you agree with it or not), and check the peer_complaints field of clboss-status to see if you agree with CLBOSS assessment, before enabling auto-close. To enable auto-close, read the README.md and follow the instructions, and before that, make sure you actually agree that CLBOSS is reasonably sane by checking the peer_complaints field first.
This release does rebalancing a lot less often than previous releases. Previous releases tended to rebalance so often that you would lose significantly more money than what you earned. This release ameliorates that, but channels are now significantly more unbalanced, sadly. Some more work and experimentation on this is needed to maximize earnings.
New in this release is a reproducible binary for Linux x86-64. It is large because I included the debug symbols, I probably should not include those. The link to the reproducible binary is to an OnionShare server, which requires Tor Browser or torsocks wget, and may or may not be online 24/7, because it is 147M. However this binary contains everything CLBOSS needs and you don't have to install anything else (except dnsutils/dig, which I should include in the next release). The binary was built using GNU Guix, see the reproducible/ directory in the source tarball or repo for more info.
