Release v0.16.0

Breaking change:

• the configuration key admin_macaroon_file was changed to macaroon_file: it is recommended to use the readonly or custom macaroon file (https://github.com/bitromortac/lndmanage#macaroon-and-tls-cert-needed)

Changelog: v0.15.0...v0.16.0

Release v0.15.0

Note: this will be the last release distributed via pypi!
Please consider to migrate to a github-clone based approach.

This is mostly a bug fix release, ensuring LND v0.15.5-beta API compatibility, see #141.

Rebalancing was removed, see #140.

Changelog: v0.14.2...v0.15.0

Bug fix release

This release replaces the internal openchannel funding flow with a wrapper around the lnd batchopen API, which is considered safer.

Support for LND v0.11.0-beta

This is mainly a compatibility release to support the RPC of the latest release of LND.

Update of dependencies to newer versions

All the subdependencies were updated to the newest versions. This is to make sure compiled binaries for these packages are available,
which makes the installation process faster. It is therefore recommended to use pip install as an installation method in contrast to setuptools (python3 setup.py install), where executables in other languages have to be compiled first.

Release notes v0.10.0

---

Support for LND v0.10.0-beta

The grpc was updated to support the latest release of LND and was tested for compatibility with lndmanage.

Node and channel info command

lndmanage features now a command $ lndmanage info, which takes a channel id or a node public key as an argument. This can be used to retreive information about the channel or node and to some extent enables more sovereign graph exploration.

lncli integration

lndmanage detects now if lncli is in the path or in ~/.lndmanage. If it is found, one can use it from the interactive mode without having to open up a new terminal window and with syntax highlighting in the json response. Command usage: $ lndmanage lncli getinfo.

Node recommendation

The node recommendation command was extended for a method to find nodes that give the most second neighbors upon channel opening. Command usage: $ lndmanage recommend-nodes second-neighbors.

Dependency changes

lndmanage requires the package pygments for colorized highlighting of lncli results, so make sure you update your python virtual environment by pip install -r requirements.txt, if you run lndmanage from the github repository.

Installation with verification

Add the public gpg key https://github.com/bitromortac.gpg
$ gpg --import bitromortac.gpg

Download the whl or tar.gz file with its associated asc file, then
$ gpg --verify lndmanage-0.10.0-py3-none-any.whl.asc or
