Hey folks, it's been a while. Been holding off on a release for a bit since I was hoping to land Loop support and payment allowances, but I think both of those features need a lot more testing and work before I'm comfortable with them being live. But until then, some folks & I've put together a bunch of small fixes that really deserve to go out. The main kick in the pants is the upcoming LND vulnerability disclosure, I felt it was important that Joule do its part to warn anyone who's running a vulnerable version.
So, without further ado, onto the release notes!
Features / Improvements
- Warn users who are running versions of LND < 0.7.1 (#233)
- Added the option to include private channel hop hints in invoices, checked by default (#220)
- Show which channels in your channels list are private (#220)
- Add support for Decred nodes (#230)
Fixes
- Fixed being unable to send payments to invoices that could only be routed through hop hints (e.g. private channels) (#220)
- Fixed macaroon errors not rendering on the upload form (#235)
- Fixed errors in WebLN and payment prompts from disappearing too quickly (#236)
- Fixed testnet transactions linking to a mainnet block explorer (#211)
- Fixed mBTC and Bits being swapped (#224)
Development
- Many modules were removed and updated. Latest TypeScript and React features can now be used, and yarn installation should be a good bit faster (#234)
