What's new in LN Juggernaut 0.1.2
Jul 21, 2020
- Emojis:
- There is now an emoji picker to the right of the message input box that lets you add emojis to your messages in a few clicks. Emojis are searchable and includes a skin color picker for emojis that support this feature.
- Open Channels Directly From Conversation:
- Easily open a channel with your conversation partner. This is useful if you plan on communicating a lot with a same person and want to avoid paying routing fees for every message. Instead of having to search for their alias or ask for their pubkey to initiate a channel open you can now just click Open Channel from the conversation menu.
- LND 0.10.0 Support:
- Updated GRPC library with 0.10.0 proto files. The only breaking change was related to how we calculate fees for each message we send. In 0.9.x we were able to grab the total fees directly from the payment response object. In 0.10.x we now loop over all HTLC's and sum up the total fees for each one. Luckily this is backwards compatible with 0.9.x so we have a single method for both versions.
- Code Signing:
- The releases are now officially being code signed as part of the release process for Mac and Windows builds. This should remove warnings about an unknown developer when launching the apps on those platforms. I think on Windows there might still be some warning until we reach a certain number of downloads
