This is a minor hot fix release that resolves an issue that arises (
sendrawtransaction
calls rejected) whenlnd
is run withbitcoind
27. This hot fix release bumps a dependency to ensure thatlnd
is compatible with the latest version ofbitcoind
.Verifying the Release
In order to verify the release, you'll need to have
gpg
orgpg2
installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming
manifest-roasbeef-v0.17.5-beta.sig
andmanifest-v0.17.5-beta.txt
are in the current directory) with:You should see the following if the verification was successful:
That will verify the signature of the manifest file, which ensures integrity and authenticity of the archive you've downloaded locally containing the binaries. Next, depending on your operating system, you should then re-compute the
sha256
hash of the archive withshasum -a 256 <filename>
, compare it with the corresponding one in the manifest file, and ensure they match exactly.Verifying the Release Timestamp
From this new version onwards, in addition time-stamping the git tag with OpenTimestamps, we'll also now timestamp the manifest file along with its signature. Two new files are now included along with the rest of our release artifacts:
manifest-roasbeef-v0.17.5-beta.txt.asc.ots
.Assuming you have the opentimestamps client installed locally, the timestamps can be verified with the following commands:
Alternatively, the OpenTimestamps website can be used to verify timestamps if one doesn't have a
bitcoind
instance accessible locally.These timestamps should give users confidence in the integrity of this release even after the key that signed the release expires.
Verifying the Release Binaries
Our release binaries are fully reproducible. Third parties are able to verify that the release binaries were produced properly without having to trust the release manager(s). See our reproducible builds guide for how this can be achieved.
The release binaries are compiled with
go1.21.0
, which is required by verifiers to arrive at the same ones.They include the following build tags:
autopilotrpc
,signrpc
,walletrpc
,chainrpc
,invoicesrpc
,neutrinorpc
,routerrpc
,watchtowerrpc
,monitoring
,peersrpc
,kvdb_postrgres
,kvdb_etcd
andkvdb_sqlite
. Note that these are already included in the release script, so they do not need to be provided.The
make release
command can be used to ensure one rebuilds with all the same flags used for the release. If one wishes to build for only a single platform, thenmake release sys=<OS-ARCH> tag=<tag>
can be used.Finally, you can also verify the tag itself with the following command:
Verifying the Docker Images
To verify the
lnd
andlncli
binaries inside the docker images against the signed, reproducible release binaries, there is a verification script in the image that can be called (before starting the container for example):Building the Contained Release
Users are able to rebuild the target release themselves without having to fetch any of the dependencies. In order to do so, assuming
that
vendor.tar.gz
andlnd-source-v0.17.5-beta.tar.gz
are in the current directory, follow these steps:The
-mod=vendor
flag tells thego build
command that it doesn't need to fetch the dependencies, and instead, they're all enclosed in the local vendor directory.Additionally, it's now possible to use the enclosed
release.sh
script to bundle a release for a specific system like so:⚡️⚡️⚡️ OK, now to the rest of the release notes! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
