94 | 94 | # New Features |
95 | 95 |
|
| 96 | +* Add support for [archiving channel backup](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9232) |
| 97 | + in a designated folder which allows for easy referencing in the future. A new |
| 98 | + config is added `disable-backup-archive`, with default set to false, to |
| 99 | + determine if previous channel backups should be archived or not. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +## Protocol Updates |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +* `lnd` now [supports the new RBF cooperative close |
| 104 | +flow](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9610). Unlike the old flow, |
| 105 | +this version now uses RBF to enable either side to increase their fee rate using |
| 106 | +their _own_ channel funds. This removes the old "negotiation" logic that could |
| 107 | +fail, with a version where either side can increase the fee on their coop close |
| 108 | +transaction using their channel balance. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +This new feature can be activated with a new config flag: |
| 111 | +`--protocol.rbf-coop-close`. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +With this new co-op close type, users can issue multiple `lncli closechannnel` |
| 114 | +commands with increasing fee rates to use RBF to bump an existing signed co-op |
| 115 | +close transaction. |
| 116 | + |
96 | 117 | * [Support](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8390) for |
97 | 118 | [experimental endorsement](https://github.com/lightning/blips/pull/27) |
98 | 119 | signal relay was added. This signal has *no impact* on routing, and |
|
106 | 127 | initial historical sync may be blocked due to a race condition in handling the |
107 | 128 | syncer's internal state. |
