# Loop Client Release Notes
|
|
|
|
This file tracks release notes for the loop client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Developers:
|
|
|
|
* When new features are added to the repo, a short description of the feature should be added under the "Next Release" heading.
|
|
|
|
* This should be done in the same PR as the change so that our release notes stay in sync!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Release Manager:
|
|
|
|
* All of the items under the "Next Release" heading should be included in the release notes.
|
|
|
|
* As part of the PR that bumps the client version, the "Next Release" heading should be replaced with the release version including the changes.

## Next Release
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### New Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Multi-path payment has been enabled for Loop In. This means that it is now possible
|
|
|
|
to replenish multiple channels via a single Loop In request and a single on-chain htlc.
|
|
|
|
This has to potential to greatly reduce chain fee costs. Note that it is not yet possible
|
|
|
|
to select specific peers to loop in through.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Updated Swap Suggestions
|
|
|
|
* The swap suggestions endpoint has been updated to be fee-aware. Swaps that
|
|
|
|
exceed the fee limits set by the liquidity manager will no longer be
|
|
|
|
suggested (see `getParams` for the current limits, and use `setParams` to
|
|
|
|
update these values).
|
|
|
|
* Swap suggestions are now aware of ongoing and previously failed swaps. They
|
|
|
|
will not suggest swaps for channels that are currently being utilized for
|
|
|
|
swaps, and will not suggest any swaps if a swap that is not limited to a
|
|
|
|
specific peer or channel is ongoing. If a channel was part of a failed swap
|
|
|
|
within the last 24H, it will be excluded from our swap suggestions (this
|
|
|
|
value is configurable).
|
|
|
|
* The `debug` logging level is recommended if using this feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Breaking Changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Macaroon authentication has been enabled for the `loopd` gRPC and REST
|
|
|
|
connections. This makes it possible for the loop API to be exposed safely over
|
|
|
|
the internet as unauthorized access is now prevented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon will write a default `loop.macaroon` in its main directory. For
|
|
|
|
mainnet this file will be picked up automatically by the `loop` CLI tool. For
|
|
|
|
testnet you need to specify the `--network=testnet` flag.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The `setparm` loopcli endpoint is renamed to `setrule` because this endpoint
|
|
|
|
is only used for setting liqudity rules (parameters can be set using the new
|
|
|
|
`setparams` endpoint).
