We only store information about our peers when we succeed in making an outgoing connection to them. The only information we stored was the address that we used when connecting. We now also store the features supported by our peer when we last connected to them.
It's important to note that this means that we previously didn't store peers that always connect to us (e.g. mobile wallet users that never have a stable address): we now store their features in our DB once we have a channel with them. For private peers that always connect to us, we will never store an address: it's their responsibility to connect back to us on disconnection.
