Meeting Notes 2022 03 07

• Hello viktor! 👋

  • Wants to do open source contributions, found LDK

• Hello emmanuel! 👋

  • Been following ldk

Releases

• 0.0.105 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/22)

  • Swift bindings released, arik doing cleanup on docs side

• 0.0.106 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/23)

  • Jeff to try to do this release and document the process
  • Scid aliases
  • Graph sync
  • Backlog of review at this point
  • for newcomers, our release process in terms of what goes in is a bit loose. Usually 1-2 things high prio, in this case zero-conf and graph sync. Then whatever else makes it, makes it.
    • Release early/often, use release to focus review and keep things moving

• Breakage in 0.0.105 for no-std

  • How big a deal is this for VLS? Q for devrandom/ken
  • If not big deal, default to no emergency release for this
  • Ken: defer to devrandom on that one

• Scid aliases

  • Need inbound aliases for zero-conf support
  • But we don’t really do anything besides route hints
  • Matt to think on how to rename inbound/outbound_scid_alias to be more clear

Payment protocols

• Ariard: interested in sending transaction in the onion
• Onion messages impl:
  • Sketch out various message handling apis. Gonna be back and forth on that api

Language bindings

• MC: there’s been the usual flow of people who show up and want to help with lang bindings, then realize what a clusterfuck it is and don’t follow through

• Jc: underlying tooling could use a refactor, it’d be fair to say

• Anchor outputs support

  • No update

• VLS

  • C-lightning approved an upstream PR, 3 more to go
  • Devrandom working on disaster recovery

• Sensei

  • John cantrell not here

Spec

• Minor stuff
• One compliance thing that’s not technically a spec compliance thing, we landed that fix for 105 and looks like the spec is gonna change s.t. Our impl was spec-incompliant
