• graceful command to prepare CLN for shutdown... gracefully!
• Added sendamount command, to make a payment specifying the desired amount to send instead of the amount to be received.
• We've started the cycle to deprecate pay and focus our efforts on xpay. xpay now handles pay command by default (use xpay-handle-pay=false to prevent this) and we now use xpay not pay for paying invoices made with invoicerequest().
• xpay now accepts label and localinvreqid parameters (like pay).
• xpay will now update for the current payment if it gets a channel_update in an error message.
• xkeysend command for keysend with modern routing support.
• invoice_creation notification now includes offer_id when the invoice is associated with a BOLT 12 offer.
• Removed fields no longer present in documentation / GRPC interfaces.
• Experimental payment proof implementation updated to latest draft
• gossipd made more robust against channel_update spamming.
