* Added (JSON-RPC): `multiwithdraw` command to batch multiple onchain sends in a single transaction. Note it shuffles inputs and outputs, does not use BIP69.
* Added (JSON-RPC): `multifundchannel` command to fund multiple channels to different peers all in a single onchain transaction.
* Added (JSON-RPC): `delpay` command to delete a payment once completed or failed.
* Added (JSON-RPC): `listpays` can be used to query payments using the `payment_hash`
* Added (JSON-RPC): `listpays` now includes the `payment_hash`
* Added (JSON-RPC): `listpays` now includes the timestamp of the first part of the payment
* Added (Build): New reproducible build system now uses docker: try it at home with `doc/REPRODUCIBLE.md`!
* Added (Plugins): Proxy information now provided in `init.configuration`.
* Added (Plugins): `openchannel_hook` is now chainable
* Added (JSON-RPC): `listpeers` shows `features` list for each channel.

* Added (JSON-RPC): `utxopsbt` takes a new `locktime` parameter
* Added (JSON-RPC): `fundpsbt` takes a new `locktime` parameter
* Added (JSON-RPC): New low-level command `utxopsbt` to create PSBT from existing utxos.
* Added (JSON-RPC): `listfunds` now has a `redeemscript` field for p2sh-wrapped outputs.
* Added (JSON-RPC): `fundchannel` has new `outnum` field indicating which output of the transaction funds the channel.
* Added (pyln-client): commands and options can now mark themselves deprecated.
* Added (Plugins): can now mark their options and commands deprecated.
* Added (plugins): `getmanifest` may now include "allow-deprecated-apis" boolean flag.
* Added (JSON-RPC): `listpays` now lists the `destination` if it was provided (e.g., via the `pay` plugin or `keysend` plugin)
* Added (config): New option `--important-plugin` loads a plugin is so important that if it dies, `lightningd` will exit rather than continue. You can still `--disable-plugin` it, however, which trumps `--important-plugin` and it will not be started at all.
* Added (Plugins): We now explicitly check at startup that our default Bitcoin backend (bitcoind) does relay transactions.
* Added (Plugins): We now explicitly check at startup the version of our default Bitcoin backend (bitcoind).
* Changed (Build): we no longer require extra Python modules to build.
* Changed (Build): SQLite3 is no longer a hard build requirement. C-Lightning can now be built to support only the PostgreSQL back-end.
* Changed (gossipd): The `gossipd` is now a lot quieter, and will log only when a message changed our network topology.
* Changed (Protocol): We now make MPP-aware routehints in invoices.
* Changed (onchaind): We now scorch the earth on theft attempts, RBFing up our penalty transaction as blocks arrive without a penalty transaction getting confirmed.
* Changed (Protocol): `fundchannel` now shuffles inputs and outputs, and no longer follows BIP69.
* Changed (JSON-RPC): `withdraw` now randomizes input and output order, not BIP69.
* Changed (JSON-RPC): `txprepare` reservations stay across restarts: use `fundpsbt`/`reservepsbt`/`unreservepsbt`
* Changed (config): `min-capacity-sat` is now stricter about checking usable capacity of channels.
* Changed (Protocol): Ignore (and log as "unusual") repeated `WIRE_CHANNEL_REESTABLISH` messages, to be compatible with buggy peer software that sometimes does this.
* Changed (contrib): startup_regtest.sh `startup_ln` now takes a number of nodes to create as a parameter
* Changed (JSON-RPC): `invoice` no longer accepts zero amounts (did you mean "any"?)
* Changed (Protocol): channels now pruned after two weeks unless both peers refresh it (see lightning-rfc#767)

* Changed (config): the default CLTV expiry is now 34 blocks, and final expiry 18 blocks as per new BOLT recommendations.
* Changed (Plugins): Builtin plugins are now marked as important, and if they crash, will cause C-lightning to stop as well.
* Changed (Protocol): Funding timeout is now based on the header count reported by the bitcoin backend instead of our current blockheight which might be lower.
* Changed (JSON-RPC): `delinvoice` will now report specific error codes: 905 for failing to find the invoice, 906 for the invoice status not matching the parameter.
* Deprecated (Plugins): `bcli` replacements should note that `sendrawtransaction` now has a second required Boolean argument, `allowhighfees`, which if `true`, means ignore any fee limits and just broadcast the transaction.
* Deprecated (JSON-RPC): `listsendpays` will no longer add `null` if we don't know the `amount_msat` for a payment.
* Deprecated (Plugins): `getmanifest` without any parameters; plugins should accept any parameters for future use.
* Fixed (Plugins): `pay` `presplit` modifier now supports large payments without exhausting the available HTLCs.
* Fixed (Plugins): `pay` corrects a case where we put the sub-payment value instead of the *total* value in the `total_msat` field of a multi-part payment.
* Fixed (Plugins): `pay` is less aggressive with forgetting routehints.
* Fixed (Plugins): `pay` no longer ignores routehints if the payment exceeds 10,000 satoshi. This is particularly bad if the payee is only reachable via routehints in an invoice.
* Fixed (Plugins): `pay` limits the number of splits if the payee seems to have a low number of channels that can enter it, given the max-concurrent-htlcs limit.
* Fixed (Plugins): `pay` will now make reliable multi-part payments to nodes it doesn't have a node_announcement for.
* Fixed (JSON-RPC): significant speedups for plugins which create large JSON replies (e.g. listpays on large nodes).
* Fixed (doc): Many missing manual pages were completed
* Fixed (Build): Fixed compile error on macos
* Fixed (pyln): Fixed HTLCs hanging indefinitely if the hook function raises an exception. A safe fallback result is now returned instead.
* Fixed (Protocol): We now hang up if peer doesn't respond to init message after 60 seconds.
* Fixed (elementsd): PSBTs include correct witness_utxo struct for elements transactions
* Fixed (cli): fixed crash with `listconfigs` in `-H` mode
* Fixed (Plugins): `bcli` significant speedups for block synchronization
* Fixed (Build): On systems with multiple installed versions of the PostgreSQL client library, C-Lightning might link against the wrong version or fail to find the library entirely. `./configure` now uses `pg_config` to locate the library.
* Fixed (Build): On some operating systems the postgresql library would not get picked up. `./configure` now uses `pg_config` to locate the headers.
* Fixed (libplugin): significant speedups for reading large JSON replies (e.g. calling listsendpays on large nodes, or listchannels / listnodes).

* Changed (JSON-RPC): `fundchannel_cancel` will now succeed even when executed while a `fundchannel_complete` is ongoing; in that case, it will be considered as cancelling the funding *after* the `fundchannel_complete` succeeds. ([3778](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3778))
