0.11.0 Leo

This release's name is dedicated to Leo. Leo is easily one of the nicest people in Bitcoin and has been active in the LNbits chat since the beginning, helping people debug, and coming up with new great ideas such as his Bitcoin Laisee (red envelopes of bitcoin given to people on the Chinese New Year). Thank you Leo!

Among countless optimizations and stability improvements that make LNbits faster and more reliable, we are thrilled to announce a new exciting feature which we (with the incredible work of @jackstar12) have been working on for some time: The LNbits node manager.

LNbits node manager

This release introduces the LNbits node manager which allows you to manage your Lightning channels directly from within your LNbits. The node manager works with Core Lightning and LND and we plan to add support for more Lightning backends soon.

Channel management

Manage your Lightning channels directly from within your LNbits.

Transaction history

View the transaction history on your node to see a list of all incoming and outgoing payments.

Public node page

The node manager also offers a public node page that you can share with others who want to open a channel to your node.

Activate in admin UI

You can activate the node UI in your LNbits admin panel.

Other notable changes

Upgrade FastAPI

We have upgraded the API framework that we use in LNbits. That means that most extensions need to be update to work with this release. Please log in as an admin user and update your extensions to the latest version after upgrading your LNbits.
(Thank you @dni and @talvasconcelos grinding through and patching ALL the extensions)
