0.12 Not Completely Useless

on GitHub

This is exactly the same release as 0.12, and only exists for back-compatibility with processes which might be using "v" before the version number when referring to release tags. Future releases will no longer have "v" before the version number in their release tags. CopyPasta below.

Oh no, a new version of some completely useless piece of software!

• Version compatibility: C-Lightning 0.9.1 to 0.11
  • Most extensively tested with 0.10.2, so older versions might have subtle compatibility bugs.
  • On Core Lightning 0.11, you must set --allow-deprecated-apis to true. This is the default behavior of Core Lightning 0.11.
  • Core Lightning 0.11 supports multiple channels per peer, but this has not been tested at all with CLBOSS. CLBOSS should still adapt to multiple channels in general but this is untested.

Changes:

• Use dig -v to check for dig installation, to prevent failing to detect if the testing environment has no network.
• Avoid making channels to multiple nodes in the same IP bin, to make it harder to eclipse our node.
• We now try to keep down our expenditures when rebalancing: rebalancing less often, and reducing the budget for rebalance attempts.
• You can now use the clboss-unmanage command to suppress management of some aspect of channels with particular peers.
• EXPERIMENTAL: CLBOSS now has the ability to monitor peers and planning to close them. CLBOSS will now monitor peers, but if you want CLBOSS to actually close "bad" peers, enable with --clboss-auto-close=true. You can also use the new clboss-unmanage to prevent closure of channels to particular nodes.
• We are now a little more willing to leave funds onchain if the funds are small relative to the total funds (onchain and offchain) of the node.
• Reduce the probe lengths of ActiveProber.
• Change our threshold for "low fees" a little lower. Previously it was 25 +/- 5 percentile of the last two weeks, now it is 20 +/- 3 percentile of the last two weeks.
• You can now support or oppose #zerobasefee with the new --clboss-zerobasefee=<require|allow|disallow> option.
• You can now adjust the minimum and maximum channel size with --clboss-min-channel=<sats> and --clboss-max-channel=<sats>.
• ChannelFinderByPopularity is made a little more aggressive when CLBOSS is first used (on a node that already was manually-managed before) or when the node is suddenly given a large amount of funds.
• We now also check dowsed amounts during investigation.

Get it!
