Release Notes

RPC Server

• Return payment address and add index from addholdinvoice call.

• The versions of several gRPC related libraries were bumped and the main rpc.proto was renamed to lightning.proto to fix a warning related to protobuf file name collisions.

Build System

• A new pre-submit check has been added to ensure that all PRs (aside from merge commits) add an entry in the release notes folder that at leasts links to PR being added.

• A new build target itest-race to help uncover undetected data races with our itests.

Documentation

• Outdated warning about unsupported pruning was replaced with clarification that LND does support pruning

Misc

• The direct use of certain syscalls in packages such as bbolt or lnd's own healthcheck package made it impossible to import lnd code as a library into projects that are compiled to WASM binaries. That problem was fixed by guarding those syscalls with build tags.
