* Added (pay): The `keysend` plugin implements the ability to receive spontaneous payments (keysend) ([3611](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3611))
* Added (Plugin): the Bitcoin backend plugin API is now final. ([3620](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3620))
* Added (Plugin): `htlc_accepted` hook can now offer a replacement onion `payload`. ([3611](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3611))
* Added (Plugin): `feature_set` object added to `init` ([3612](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3612))
* Added (Plugin): 'flag'-type option now available. ([3586](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3586))
* Added (JSON API): New `getsharedsecret` command, which lets you compute a shared secret with this node knowing only a public point. This implements the BOLT standard of hashing the ECDH point, and is incompatible with ECIES. ([3490](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3490))
* Added (JSON API): New optional parameter to the `close` command to control the closing transaction fee negotiation back off step ([3390](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3390))
* Added (JSON API): `connect` returns `features` of the connected peer on success. ([3612](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3612))
* Added (JSON API): `listpeers` now has `receivable_msat` ([3572](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3572))
* Added (JSON API): The fields "opening", "mutual_close", "unilateral_close", "delayed_to_us", "htlc_resolution" and "penalty" have been added to the `feerates` command. ([3570](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3570))
* Added (JSON API): "htlc_timeout_satoshis" and "htlc_success_satoshis" fields have been added to the `feerates` command. ([3570](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3570))
* Added (pyln) now sends proper error on bad calls to plugin methods ([3640](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3640))
* Added (devtools): The `onion` tool can now generate, compress and decompress onions for rendez-vous routing ([3557](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3557))
* Added (doc): An FAQ was added, accessible at https://lightning.readthedocs.io/FAQ.html ([3551](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3551))
