v0.14.0

Verifying the Release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg or gpg2 installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import guggero's key from keybase:

curl https://keybase.io/guggero/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import

You should now be able to list all of guggero's keys:

gpg --list-keys --with-subkey-fingerprints F4FC70F07310028424EFC20A8E4256593F177720

Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming manifest-v0.14.0.sig and manifest-v0.14.0.txt are in the current directory) with:

gpg --verify manifest-v0.14.0.sig manifest-v0.14.0.txt

You should see the following if the verification was successful:

gpg: Signature made Mi 29 Jul 2020 14:59:19 CEST
gpg:                using RSA key 6E01EEC9656903B0542B8F1003DB6322267C373B
gpg: Good signature from "Oliver Gugger <[email protected]>" [ultimate]
Primary key fingerprint: F4FC 70F0 7310 0284 24EF  C20A 8E42 5659 3F17 7720

That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Make sure the key used for the signature is listed in the output of the gpg --list-keys command from above.

Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes (which are

cat manifest-v0.14.0.txt

One can use the shasum -a 256 <file name here> tool in order to re-compute the sha256 hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.

Finally, you can also verify the tag itself with the following command:

git verify-tag v0.14.0

What's Changed

Partial CLN compatibility: The following commands now support Core Lightning, to assist with the most common recovery cases:

• sweepremoteclosed: To sweep already force closed channels. Similar to hsmtool guess_to_remote, but supports sweeping multiple channels in one transaction, also more convenient.
• triggerforceclose: For requesting a force close from your peer if channels are still open. Connects to the peer and requests a force close using the p2p protocol.
• zombierecovery: For rescuing channels where both nodes have lost state and only have the seed or HSM secret available. Interactive command for cooperatively spending the funding multisig output.

Full list of changes:

• zombierecovery: match against ancient channel list by @guggero in #184
• multi: compile-time dependency of lnd to 0.19.0 by @starius in #185
• chantools scbforceclose: extract close tx from SCB and sign it by @starius in #95
• build(deps): bump golang.org/x/net from 0.33.0 to 0.36.0 by @dependabot in #186
• build(deps): bump github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4 from 4.5.1 to 4.5.2 by @dependabot in #188
• Add ancient channels from node "BCash_is_trash" by @guggero in #189
• build(deps): bump golang.org/x/crypto from 0.33.0 to 0.35.0 in /tools by @dependabot in #190
• build(deps): bump golang.org/x/net from 0.36.0 to 0.38.0 by @dependabot in #191
• Update to latest lnd 0.19 version by @guggero in #192
• zombierecovery: make compatible with CLN by @guggero in #154
• CLN: Make sweepremoteclosed and triggerforceclose CLN compatible by @guggero in #193
