Normalized lines; split some where we've deprecated something (needs a
line each in Deprecated section).
Also, removed unused [Unreleased] footnote in favor of [0.8.0] footnote.

## [v0.8.1-rc1] - 2020-02-12: "Channel to the Moon"
This release named by Vasil Dimov @vasild.
### Added
- Plugin: pluggable backends for Bitcoin data queries, default still bitcoind (using bitcoin-cli). ([3488](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3488))
- Plugin: Plugins can now signal support for experimental protocol extensions by registering featurebits for `node_announcement`s, the connection handshake, and for invoices. For now this is limited to non-dynamic plugins only ([3477](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3477))
- Plugin: 'plugin start' now restores initial umask before spawning the plugin process ([3375](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3375))
- JSON API: `fundchannel` and `fundchannel_start` can now accept an optional parameter, `push_msat`, which will gift that amount of satoshis to the peer at channel open. ([3369](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3369))
- JSON API: `waitanyinvoice` now supports a `timeout` parameter, which when set will cause the command to fail if unpaid after `timeout` seconds (can be 0). ([3449](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3449))
- Config: `--rpc-file-mode` sets permissions on the JSON-RPC socket. ([3437](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3437))
- lightningd: Optimistic locking prevents instances from running concurrently against the same database, providing linear consistency to changes. ([3358](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3358))
- hsmd: Added fields to hsm_sign_remote_commitment_tx to allow complete validation by signing daemon. ([3363](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3363))
- Wallet: withdrawal transactions now sets nlocktime to the current tip. ([3465](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3465))
- elements: Added support for the dynafed block header format and elementsd >=0.18.1 ([3440](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3440))
### Changed
- JSON API: The hooks `db_write`, `invoice_payment`, and `rpc_command` now accept `{ "result": "continue" }` to mean "do default action". ([3475](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3475))
- Plugin: Multiple plugins can now register for the htlc_accepted hook. ([3489](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3489))
- JSON API: `funchannel_cancel`: only the opener of a fundchannel can cancel the channel open ([3336](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3336))
- JSON API: `sendpay` optional `msatoshi` param for non-MPP (if set), must be the exact amount sent to the final recipient. ([3470](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3470))
- JSON API: `waitinvoice` now returns error code 903 to designate that the invoice expired during wait, instead of the previous -2 ([3441](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3441))
- JSON_API: The `connect` command now returns its own error codes instead of a generic -1. ([3397](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3397))
- Plugin: `notify_sendpay_success` and `notify_sendpay_failure` are now always called, even if there is no command waiting on the result. ([3405](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3405))
- hsmtool: `hsmtool` now creates its backup copy in the same directory as the original `hsm_secret` file. ([3409](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3409))
- JSON API: `invoice``exposeprivatechannels` can specify exact channel candidates. ([3351](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3351))
- JSON API: `db_write` new field `data_version` which contains a numeric transaction counter. ([3358](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3358))
- JSON API: `plugin stop` result is now accessible using the `result` key instead of the empty ('') key. ([3374](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3374))
- lightning-cli: specifying `--rpc-file` (without `--network`) has been restored. ([3353](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/3353))
### Deprecated
Note: You should always set `allow-deprecated-apis=false` to test for changes.
