Fedimint v0.6.0: On-Chain For Everyone

• Fedimint v0.6.0 has been released with many updates and improvements. Notably, this version enables on-chain deposits for end users as interacting with on-chain wallet is no longer considered to be in 'expert-only' mode.

"Since v0.4.0, Fedimint developers advised not exposing on-chain deposits to end users, due to limitations on processing deposits in very large (in bytes) on-chain transactions. This limitations has been lifted and on-chain deposits are now safe in all cases," reads the release notes.

• Other release highlights include rejecting attempts to reuse ecash blind nonces for better funds safety, configurable external sources for feerate information, tracking of Lightning payment events, optimized client recovery, and other improvements. Additionally, Core Lightning gateway is no longer supported.
