Align naming better with the lightning spec. Not the full name of the
failure (FailIncorrectOrUnknownPaymentDetails) is used, because this
would cause too many long lines in the code.
This commit adds the ignore-historical-filters CLI option, initially
defaulting to false. Users may use this option to prevent lnd from doing
historical gossip dumps to peers that set their `gossip_timestamp_range`
in the past. Enabling this option will result in lower bandwidth and
memory consumption. Down the road the plan is to make this default to
true.
With the introduction of the WatchtowerClient RPC subserver, the lnd
configuration flag to specify private watchtowers for the client is no
longer needed and can lead to confusion upon users. Therefore, we remove
the flag completely, and only rely on the watchtower client being active
through a new --wtclient.active flag.
We do this as a convenience for WatchtowerClient users so that they do
not need to re-add towers upon restarts. We ensure not to re-add towers
that have been previously removed by determining whether it has any
lingering active sessions.
In this commit, we extend the wtclient.Client interface with the
following methods:
* AddTower
* RemoveTower
* RegisteredTowers
* LookupTower
* Stats
Care has been taken to ensure that any in-memory state updates are
_only_ performed after a successful database update.
These methods are currently unused, but they serve as a dependency for
the upcoming WatchtowerClient RPC subserver.
These operations are currently unused, but will be integrated into the
TowerClient at a later point as future preparation for the
WatchtowerClient RPC subserver, which will allow users to add, remove,
and list the watchtowers currntly in use.
This currently takes O(N) time as there does not exist an index of
active client sessions for each watchtower within the client's database.
This index is likely to be added in the future.
The current value was based on the previous default CLTV delta of 144
blocks. This has been lowered to 40 since lnd v0.6.0-beta, making the
current value of 5000 blocks a bit high. Lowering it to one week should
be more than enough to account for the other major lightning
implementations. Eclair currently has a default CLTV delta of 144, while
c-lightning's is 14.
In this commit, we update neutrino to a new version that has a fix for a
possible sync stall that can occur if a response that we believe has
timed out, later comes back from the source peer.
