LDK Rust-Lightning v0.0.111 Released

"Saturated with Messages"

API Updates

Support for relaying onion messages has been added via a new
OnionMessenger struct when passed as the OnionMessageHandler to a
PeerManager. Pre-encoded onion messages can also be sent and received
(#1503, #1650, #1652, #1688).
Rate-limiting of outbound gossip syncs has been rewritten to utilize less
buffering inside LDK. The new rate-limiting is also used for onion messages
to avoid delaying other messages (#1604. #1660, #1683).
Rather than spawning a full OS thread, lightning-background-processor has
a new process_events_async method which takes the place of a
BackgroundProcessor for those using Rust's async (#1657).
ChannelManager::get_persistable_update_future has been added to block on
a ChannelManager needing re-persistence in a Rust async environment (#1657).
The Filter::register_output return value has been removed, as it was
very difficult to correctly implement (i.e., without blocking). Users
previously using it should instead pass dependent transactions in via
additional chain::Confirm::transactions_confirmed calls (#1663).
ChannelHandshakeConfig::their_channel_reserve_proportional_millionths has
been added to allow configuring counterparty reserve values (#1619).
KeysInterface::ecdh has been added as an ECDH oracle (#1503, #1658).
The rust-bitcoin dependency has been updated 0.29 (#1658).
The bitcoin_hashes dependency has been updated 0.11 (#1677).
ChannelManager::broadcast_node_announcement has been moved to
PeerManager (#1699).
channel_ and node_announcements are now rebroadcast automatically to all
new peers which connect (#1699).
{Init,Node}Features sent to peers/broadcasted are now fetched via the
various *MessageHandler traits, rather than hard-coded (#1701, #1688).
Event::PaymentPathFailed::rejected_by_dest has been renamed
payment_failed_permanently (#1702).
Invoice now derives the std Hash trait (#1575).
{Signed,}RawInvoice::hash have been renamed signable_hash (#1714).
chain::AccessError now derives the std Debug trait (#1709).
ReadOnlyNetworkGraph::list_{channels,nodes} have been added largely for
users of downstream bindings (#1651).
ChannelMonitor::get_counterparty_node_id is now available (#1635).

Bug Fixes

The script compared with that returned from chain::Access was incorrect
~half of the time, causing spurious gossip rejection (#1666).
Pending in-flight HTLCs are now considered when calculating new routes,
ensuring, e.g. MPP retries do not take known-saturated paths (#1643).
Counterparty-revoked outputs are now included in get_claimable_balance
output via a new Balance::CounterpartyRevokedOutputClaimable (#1495).
Inbound HTLCs for which we do not (yet) have a preimage are now included in
get_claimable_balance via a Balance::MaybePreimageClaimableHTLC (#1673).
Probes that fail prior to being sent over their first hop are correctly
failed with a Event::ProbeFailed rather than a PaymentPathFailed (#1704).
Pending Event::HTLCHandlingFaileds are no longer lost on restart (#1700).
HTLCs that fail prior to being sent over their first hop are now marked as
retryable via !PaymentPathFailed::payment_failed_permanently (#1702).
Dust HTLCs are now considered failed in the payment tracking logic after the
commitment transaction confirms, allowing retry on restart (#1691).
On machines with buggy "monotonic" clocks, LDK will no longer panic if time
goes backwards (#1692).

Backwards Compatibility

The new current_time argument to PeerManager constructors must be set to
a UNIX timestamp for upgraded nodes; new nodes may use a counter (#1699).
Balance::CounterpartyRevokedOutputClaimable will never be generated for
channels that were observed to go on-chain with LDK versions prior to
0.0.111 (#1495).
ChannelMonitor::get_counterparty_node_id will return None for all
channels opened on a version of LDK prior to 0.0.110 (#1635).
Setting their_channel_reserve_proportional_millionths to any value other
than the default will cause LDK versions prior to 0.0.104 to be unable to
read the serialized ChannelManager (#1619).

Security

0.0.111 fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability which is reachable from
untrusted input in deployments accepting 0conf channels, or via a race-condition
in deployments creating outbound 0conf channels.

LDK versions prior to 0.0.111 may spuriously panic when receiving a block if
they are awaiting the construction of a funding transaction for a 0-conf
channel (#1711). 0-conf support was added in LDK version 0.0.107.
