[dependabot[bot]]

Bumps github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd from 0.15.5-beta.rc2 to 0.18.0-beta.rc4.

Release notes

Sourced from github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd's releases.

lnd v0.18.0-beta.rc4

This is a major release which includes tons of bug fixes, performance improvements, and ofc new protocol features. This release includes support for blinded paths (forwarding), a new native SQL invoice database, deadline aware HTLC/commitment transaction RBF/CPFP fee bumping, experimental support for inbound channel fees (discount only), first class probing for payment fee estimation, testmempoolaccept awareness for all transaction publishing, and much more!

Database Migrations

There was a migration in the watchtower client database to massively improve watchtower client startup time. Nodes running with wtclient.active=true will not be able to downgrade to a previous version of lnd after running this version.

Verifying the Release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg or gpg2 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:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/master/scripts/keys/roasbeef.asc | gpg --import

Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming manifest-roasbeef-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.sig and manifest-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.txt are in the current directory) with:

gpg --verify manifest-roasbeef-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.sig manifest-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.txt

You should see the following if the verification was successful:

gpg: Signature made Wed Sep 30 17:35:20 2020 PDT
gpg:                using RSA key 60A1FA7DA5BFF08BDCBBE7903BBD59E99B280306
gpg: Good signature from "Olaoluwa Osuntokun <laolu32@gmail.com>" [ultimate]

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 with shasum -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-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.txt.asc.ots.

Assuming you have the opentimestamps client installed locally, the timestamps can be verified with the following commands:

ots verify manifest-roasbeef-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.sig.ots -f manifest-roasbeef-v0.18.0-beta.rc4.sig

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 go1.22.3, 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 and kvdb_sqlite. Note that these are already included in the release script, so they do not need to be provided.

Closing as this is done in #370 (It's 0.17.4-beta as we don't wish to go with the latest release)

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
