To prevent novice users from running non-release versions, we update the
installation instructions to point them towards our release binaries.
We also document the new Docker build helper that allows you to compile
lnd without needing to install golang.
A new top level feeurl option was added recently to replace the neutrino.feeurl
option. The new option was never added to the sample config file and the
text was never updated to reflect that the option is required for
neutrino on mainnet. We fix this and also add a valid mainnet example
URL to the sample config file.
A number of tricks need to be applied to the tar and zip commands
respectively to make sure they always produce deterministic archives.
This includes setting the file timestamps to a fixed date and setting
specific ownership attributes (tar) or no attributes at all (zip).
We do this instead of using the source of the AnnounceSignatures
message, as we filter out the source when broadcasting any
announcements, leading to the remote node not receiving our channel
update. Note that this is done more for the sake of correctness and to
address a flake within the integration tests, as channel updates are
sent directly and reliably to channel counterparts.
As similarly done with premature channel announcements, we'll no longer
allow premature channel updates to be rebroadcast once mature. This is
no longer necessary as channel announcements that we're not aware of are
usually broadcast to us with their accompanying channel updates.
In this commit, we fix an issue that would cause peers running lnd 0.12
to not be able to connect to existing peers due to a feature bit
compatibility issue. In a recent PR we started to downgrade our required
feature bit for static key from required to optional, if we had a legacy
(non-tweakless) open with the peer then we would unset the required bit
and set the optional bit to ensure we could still connect to them.
The change implementing this new version of downgrade failed _also_
unset the bit (the required bit) in the "legacy global" feature bit
section. This caused the `RawFeatureVector.Merge` method to fail as we
would have the required bit set in the `GlobalFeatures` section, but the
optional bit set in the `Features` section. The `Merge` method ensures
that a required and optional bit can't be set in two different locations
for the same feature.
This PR fixes this issue by also unsetting the bit in the
`GlobalFeatures` field in the init message.
Fixes#4871
