An often requested feature is to use the abandonchannel API in regular
builds and not only dev builds to get rid of stuck channels that had
their funding transaction invalidated.
The initial reason for putting the call behind the build flag was a
safety concern to make sure nobody uses this on active channels by
accident.
This commit adds a []*lnrpc.NodeAddress typed node_addresses field
on the NodeUpdate message of SubscribeChannelGraph to mirror the
addresses field in the LightningNode message of DescribeGraph.
Fixes https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/4084
This commit deprecates/replaces the old field `sat_per_byte` with
`sat_per_vbyte`. While the old field suggests sat per byte, it’s
actually using sat per virtual byte. We use the Hidden param to hide all
the deprecated flags. These flags won't show up in help menu onwards,
while stay valid that can be passed from cli. Thus bash scripts
referencing these fields won't be broken.
This allows to use FowardingHistory rpc method to receive the data exactly
as it's stored in lnd and to synchronize incrementally the history to an
external database.
We also test that legacy keysend payments are promoted to AMP payments
on the receiver-sdie by asserting basic properties of the fields
returned via the rpc.
Add more fields to channel acceptor response so that users can have more
fine grained control over their incoming channels. With our chained
acceptor, it is possible that we get inconsistent responses from
multiple chained acceptors. We create a conjugate repsponse from all the
set fields in our various responses, but fail if we get different, non-
zero responses from our various acceptors. Separate merge functions are
used per type so that we avoid unexpected outcomes comparing interfaces
(panic on comparing types that aren't comparable), with casting used
where applicable to avoid code duplication.
This commit adds an optional error message to the channel acceptor's
reponse to allow operators to inform (or insult) unsuccessful channel
initiators as to the reason for their rejection.
This field is added in addition to the existing accept field to maintain
backwards compatibity. If we were to deprecate accept and interpret a
non-nil error as rejecting the channel, then received a response with
accept=false and a nil error, the server cannot tell whether this is a
legacy rejection or new mesage type acceptance (due to nil error),
so we keep both fields.
As a convenience method for users to look up what RPC method URIs exist
and what permissions they require, we add a new ListPermissions call
that simply returns all registered URIs (including internal and external
subservers) and their required permissions.
To make sure we can use the abandonchannel RPC for getting rid of
externally funded channels who's funding transaction was never
published, we allow the RPC to be used on non-dev builds for externally
funded and pending channels only.
This is useful when we wish to have a channel frozen for a specific
amount of blocks after its confirmation. This could also be done with an
absolute thaw height, but it does not suit cases where a strict block
delta needs to be enforced, as it's not possible to know for certain
when a channel will be included in the chain. To work around this, we
add a relative interpretation of the field, where if its value is below
500,000, then it's interpreted as a relative height. This approach
allows us to prevent further database modifications to account for a
relative thaw height.
