In this commit, we add a new folder within the `docs` directory that will
house the release notes for all versions of `lnd` going forward. Moving to
use `git` for the release notes rather than the normal drafting procedure
lets us keep track of the set of changes more consistency over time, lets
contributors add their release notes over time, and also means we'll no
longer need to do a crunch at the tail end of the release process to fill in
the set of release notes.
For the 0.13.1 release notes, I've done a scan and added anything that has
been merged since the last major version tag. In a follow up change, we'll
add a new Github action that fails the build if an entry in the release
notes linking to the newly added PR isn't committed as well. Until then, any
PRs merged in should ensure that they add an entry within the relevant
milestone.
The monitoring server still needs to be enabled using prometheus.enable,
so including this in the default build does not add an additional http
server unless the user opts in.
Otherwise, we would get non-standard txn's and fail to broadcast
them when cooperatively closing a channel. This wouldn't affect
funds security as no HTLCs would be active to steal. This is just
a safety measure as we should only generate standard txn's.
This commit refactored the function NewNode to take a *testing.T so that
the unexpected error is checked inside it. The caller is now free from
checking the errors.
If the wallet recovery chain rescan was aborted before it finished, the
user would need to remember to use a positive recovery_window value the
next time they unlock the wallet for the rescan to continue. Because
forgetting to do so could lead to an incomplete wallet state (and
therefore potential missing funds) we rather don't allow shutting down
lnd through the RPC while a rescan is in progress.
This won't prevent any user from manually signaling Ctrl+C to kill lnd.
But that user might also check the log and see there's still something
going on that's preventing lnd from shutting down.
The golang build cache seems to only grow over time and is now causing
disk space issues on the release builder. Since the release build has to
build for targets that aren't built during other GH actions and our
releases are too far apart to be hitting the cache anyway we suspect the
cache doesn't actually help that much.
Removing it might mean the build takes a bit longer but at least won't
cause any problems with full virtual disks anymore.
