Just some improvements and bug fixes.

p5

Introducing the signatures plugin

This plugin can sign messages using your node's public key and verify messages too (although you don't need a Lightning node to do that). It can also produce lnd-like "compact" signatures with which you can recover a public key using just the signature and the message -- however this is somewhat useless, as every combination of message and signature will yield a corresponding public key and we can't know if that key is controlled by someone or not.

Introducing the sparko plugin

This plugin deprecates https://github.com/fiatjaf/sparko and turns it into a plugin, which gives us many many advantages of having it as a standalone executable. See the list of advantages at https://github.com/fiatjaf/lightningd-gjson-rpc/tree/master/cmd/sparko.

New plugin builder framework

This release also introduces the plugin builder framework, which makes it easy to bootstrap a new plugin in a couple of minutes.

Introducing the lnurl plugin

This plugin turns your c-lightning daemon into a full-featured lnurl wallet which can interact with all sorts of lnurl-enabled services (of course, the CLI is not the best place to use this, but at least it works).

See more at https://github.com/fiatjaf/lightningd-gjson-rpc/tree/master/cmd/lnurl.

waitpay plugin now supports an optional [description] parameter

Although c-lightning is gradually removing support for description_hash on its core, you don't have to fear! waitpay with this new parameter can now be used to pay such invoices (at least until c-lightning removes more needed stuff).

p3

Introducing the jqmethods plugin

An easy way to run prewritten jq filters on your lightningd outputs.

v0.1.0

The waitpay plugin.

Just call and wait until it pays. No more keep trying in the background in an asynchronous-unreliable manner such that you don't know if the payment succeeded or not or if it's still being tried. This is crucial for servers where withdrawals to untrusted third-parties are processed.
