Lightning Labs has just released LND v0.18.4-beta. This is a minor release which ships the features required for building custom channels, alongside the usual bug fixes and stability improvements. Of note are the Bitcoin Core (bitcoind) v28.0 compatibility fix and an optimization for payment requests (invoices) that removes unnecessary size expansion. See Release Notes for full set of changes.
It has also been released Lightning Terminal (LiT) v0.14.0-alpha. This first Release Candidate of Lightning Terminal (LiT) ships the first non-experimental version of Taproot Asset Channels. See the full Release Notes here.
Make sure to check out the upgrade instructions if you ran any of the litd v0.13.9xx-experimental versions. To avoid loss of funds, it's imperative that you read the Operational Safety Guidelines before before using tapd on mainnet.
This Lightning Terminal (LiT) release packages LND v0.18.4-beta, Taproot Assets Daemon v0.5.0-alpha, Loop v0.29.0-beta, Pool v0.6.5-beta and Faraday v0.2.13-alpha.
