Eclair v0.12.0
This release adds support for creating and managing Bolt 12 offers and a new channel closing protocol (option_simple_close) that supports RBF.
We also add support for storing small amounts of (encrypted) data for our peers (option_provide_storage).
:warning: This release also starts using Java 21, which means you may need to update your runtime. :warning: We also update our dependency on Bitcoin Core to v28.1 to benefit from package relay.
We've also made more progress on splicing, which is getting into the final stage of cross-compatibility tests. This cannot be used yet with other implementations, but will likely be available in the next release.
This release also contains various performance improvements, more configuration options and bug fixes. One notable performance improvement is a change in one of our database indexes (see #2946), which may take a few seconds to complete when restarting your node.
