0.8: Facepalm of Doom

Presenting CLBOSS 0.8, the automated C-Lightning node manager!

Highlights:

• Fixed bug around Tor proxies.
• Fixed bug where we neglect to rebalance channels larger than 42.94mBTC
• Fixed bug when estimating capacity of a channel candidate.
• Can now be managed using the C-Lightning plugin command.
• Support MacOS compilation. FreeBSD compilation should still be working.
• New clboss-ignore-onchain (and corresponding clboss-notice-onchain) to tell CLBOSS you want to manually manage onchain funds temporarily.
• New --clboss-min-onchain=<satoshis> option to indicate how much to leave onchain. Note that C-Lightning does not pass this option if you manage CLBOSS via the C-Lightning plugin command (this is a C-Lightning issue), but if you just add CLBOSS as an important-plugin then it should be fine.
• Fixed even more bugs, including one where the InitialRebalancer would inadvertently cause another channel to require InitialRebalancer to rebalance it.

As is usual: "just" download the source tarball below, ./configure && make. Optionally sudo make install. If you do not have it yet, add or edit a important-plugin=/path/to/clboss or plugin=/path/to/clboss to your C-Lightning configuration. Then restart C-Lightning.

0.6: Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!

0.6 release of CLBOSS! Now with:

• Several improvements to processing to reduce CPU usage.
• Reduced priority of our outgoing RPC commands, in order to prioritize processing of incoming lightningd commands (via the rpc_command hook).
• Improved processing of the rpc_command hook.
• Clean up our own FundsMover payments properly even across a restart (which was causing some of our own CPU overuse problems by itself).
• FreeBSD compileability (should be, was tested in 0.5A, later changes might have broken this).

See the ChangeLog for more.

• Source tarball: clboss-0.6.tar.gz

As usual: untar the tarball, configure and make. Optionally sudo make install. Then add the path to the clboss binary to your .lightning/config as a plugin= or important-plugin=.

This release is rated for C-Lightning 0.9.1, but the changes to the upcoming 0.9.2 should not be big enough to prevent CLBOSS 0.6 from working with C-Lightning 0.9.2
