Core Lightning 26.04 "Negative Routing Fees" has shipped.
Splicing is out of experimental, the node runs leaner, and peer messages are now padded to resist traffic analysis. ⚡
What's in it: graceful shutdown prep, sender-side amount control, xpay taking over from pay, xkeysend with modern routing, and BOLT12 payment proofs.

CLN 26.06rc1 is live. Graceful shutdowns, more control over payment amounts, and a smarter payment engine under the hood.
Please upgrade and send us your feedback or open an issue on GitHub. This is open source Lightning in action. ⚡
Privacy isn't just about keys and addresses.
CLN v26.04 pads peer messages to a uniform length. An observer watching your node's traffic can no longer infer activity from message sizes.
Traffic analysis gets harder. That's by design.
