Core Lightning v24.08.1: Steel Backed-up Channels Latest

Core Lightning has released version 24.08.1, a hotfix aimed at enhancing stability and performance. This lightweight, customizable implementation of the Lightning Network protocol continues to evolve, addressing several critical issues in this update.

Key Fixes in v24.08.1

Crash Resolutions

• The application will no longer crash if a plugin fails during the startup of lightningd.

• A crash that occurred when starting channeld for older channels without a local alias has been resolved.

• The system will not crash when interacting with older pre-TLV peers where send_tlvs is NULL.

Improved Compilation Handling

• If the jq tool is missing or an outdated version is detected, compilation will fail gracefully, allowing for easier debugging.

Performance Enhancements

• The default log level filter for cln-plugin has been reverted back to INFO to streamline logging.

• An intermittent bug that caused the hsmd (and occasionally lightningd) to use 100% CPU has been fixed, enhancing overall performance.

BOLT12 Compatibility

• The description in Wait(any)invoiceResponse has been made optional to improve compatibility with BOLT12.

Deprecated API Message

• A misleading "BROKEN plugin-topology: DEPRECATED API USED: listchannels.include_private" message has been removed for clarity.
