Release 0.10.0: Neutralizing Fee Therapy · ElementsProject/lightning

We're pleased to announce the 0.10.0 release of c-lightning, named by @jsarenik.

This is a major release, consolidating a number of features, fixes and experimental extensions.

Highlights for Users

pay has been refined and much improved across various less-common scenarios.
listpeers shows the current feerate and unilateral close fee.
listforwards can now filter by channel status, and in or out channel.
fundpsbt and utxopsbt have a new excess_as_change parameter if you don't want to add it yourself.
connect returns the address we actually connected to (and direction tells you if they actually connected to us instead).
fundchannel_complete takes a PSBT, removing a common cause of tragic opening failures: txprepare and withdraw now provide a PSBT for convenience too.
In regtest mode, we don't care that bitcoind doesn't give any fee estimates, but use the minimum.

We now send warning messages if an error condition is possibly recoverable, rather than closing the channel and sending error.
We now implement sync_complete for gossip_range queries as per latest spec, with backwards compatibility for older nodes.
experimental-dual-fund config option enables the draft dual funding option for compatible nodes, which includes RBF upgrades for opening transactions.

All hooks are now registerable by multiple plugins at once.
experimental-shutdown-wrong-funding allows remote nodes to close incorrectly opened channels using the new wrong_funding option to close.

More details can be found in the changelog.
