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.  |
