ZEUS v0.10.0: Renewable Channels, Multiple Embedded Wallets, NWC Client Support

• This release comes with channel lease renewal, multiple embedded wallets, Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) client support, and additional goodies.

"We're appreciate of everyone who helped alpha test v0.10.0, and we're looking forward to repeating it again with v0.11.0. It's a thrilling time to be building in this space. Bitcoin is in the global spotlight. Lightning is thriving. ZEUS is growing. We're grateful for all the support we've received so far, thrilled by the traction we're seeing, and excited by what lies ahead," wrote Evan Kaloudis in a blog post.

What's new

• Renewable channels. Users can renew and extend channel leases from ZEUS LSP services and upgrade channels funded with their own on-chain funds to guarantee a lifetime and reduce fees. They also receive notifications via push or Nostr DMs when channels are close to expiring, depending on their ZEUS Pay Lightning notification settings.
  • The project has developed an open source bLIP spec for the renewal service.

"We hope others follow suit and implement it in their wallets and service providers. You can read more about the service in our docs."

• NWC client support. ZEUS now supports NWC as a connection method, enabling wallet connections from Alby Hub, Cashu.me, LNbits, Coinos, and other wallets with NWC support.
  • Future releases will allow access to the default built-in ZEUS wallet through other server-side interfaces.
• Create or delete multiple Embedded LND 'node in the phone' wallets. Version 0.10.0 allows users to create multiple Embedded LND wallets to separate funds for different uses and easily delete unwanted wallets to keep the wallet and connections list uncluttered.
• chantools: sweepremoteclosed. "We've built in the sometimes needed sweepremoteclosed command, which we've found to be invaluable when users have sync issues or have lost their channel backups."
• Embedded LND has been updated to v0.18.5-beta.
• New share button for ZEUS QR images.
• Activity filters by max amount, memo, and notes. The filter icon is now highlighted when filters are active.
• Tools: ability to export activity CSVs and developer tools.
• CLNRest: added payment timeout setting.
• Receive: added advanced settings toggle.
• ZEUS Pay: added ability to delete addresses.
