v0.14.1: Hand at the Grindstone

on GitHub

Added

• Contrib Script Enhancements:

  • Added --lightning-dir option to the contrib scripts:

    • clboss-earnings-history
    • clboss-recent-earnings
    • clboss-routing-stats

    This allows users with non-default configurations to specify their
    lightning-dir when running these scripts. ([#243])

  • Nix Support:

    • Introduced contrib-shell.nix to facilitate running contrib
      scripts within Nix environments. Users can now execute
      nix-shell contrib-shell.nix and run any Python scripts in
      contrib/. ([#241])
    • Updated contrib/README.md with detailed instructions for
      Python dependencies installation, including a section on using
      Nix.

• Stack Unwinding Support:

  • Implemented libunwind for stack unwinding. This replaces the use
    of backtrace(), which is not available on Alpine Linux. This
    improves compatibility with Alpine and other systems lacking
    backtrace(). ([#245], [#249])
  • Replaced the use of program_invocation_name (only available on
    Linux) with a custom global variable to store the program name,
    improving portability to systems like FreeBSD and other Unix-like
    systems. ([#242])

Fixed

• Build System:
  • Fixed issues when building CLBOSS as a git submodule. ([#247], [#250])
  • Improved diagnostic messages for missing commit_hash.h in
    tarball builds. This helps users identify and resolve build issues
    when commit_hash.h is not present. ([#244]), [#251])
