v9.0rc1: first release candidate for v9

9.0rc1

This Liana release introduces small bug fixes and a nice new export feature.
The whole code architecture was reworked to follow rust guidelines about workspace
and the reproducible build now makes usage of nix instead of docker.
The liana-gui linux binary is now built against an older GLIBC 2.31 and
the release asset for apple devices is now an universal2 target that can be run by both
old x86_64 and new ARM apple devices.

The new Blockstream Jade Plus device id was added and this hardware wallet should be supported.

Breaking changes

Running Liana v9 on an existing installation will migrate its database.
Once migrated the database won't be compatible with previous versions of Liana.
This means you won't be able to open with Liana v8 (or below) any wallet opened or created with Liana v9.

The new Minimum Supported Rust Version of the GUI software is now 1.80. This change was necessary to have
up to date system dependencies like rfd.

Features

Liana daemon / library

• The daemon feature was removed, we expect user to use their own process manager like systemd.
• Three new columns are added to the table transaction: the number of inputs, the number of outputs and if the
  transaction is a coinbase transaction.
• A new column is added to the coins table: is_from_self and a new field is_from_self
  is added to the coin entry of the list_coins command. This field is true
  if the coin is from a transaction that every inputs or ancestors inputs belongs to the wallet.

Liana GUI

• New button on the transactions panel allows user to do an export of their transactions to an external file using the CSV format.
• Bitcoind and electrum information in the settings panel can now be copied to clipboard.
• The sync progress is now displayed with a percentage with 2 decimals
• On the send panel, the trailing zeros of the calculated max amount are not anymore trimmed.
• Coins that are change from transactions that user control (either confirmed or every inputs belongs to the wallet),
  are now part of the balance.
• Unconfirmed coins can now be selected by the automatic selection if the coins is from transaction which inputs are controlled by the wallet.

Fixes

Liana daemon / library

• A spurious overestimation in fees was resolved.

Liana GUI

• The home panel was changed to load in an asynchronous and lighter way the payments list.
• When opening the receive panel, no new address is generated without the explicit demand of the user.
• A rescan request was failing with recent version of bitcoind because of the failure to match hardened derivation indexes.
• While updating a PSBT, taproot signatures were not correctly merged.

What file from the list should i download?

Prefer downloading binaries from our website. You'll be guided on which one to pick there.

If you really want to download them from Github and are not sure what executable below you should download, pick:

• liana-9.0-rc1.exe if you are on Windows,
• liana_9.0-rc1-1_amd64.deb if you are running a Debian-based Linux (such as Ubuntu). Use apt install ./liana_9.0-rc1-1_amd64.deb as root (or preceded by sudo) to install it.
• liana-9.0-rc1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz if you use another Linux distribution. Note you may have to compile the software yourself if you are on Linux. See doc/USAGE.md.
