Phoenix v2.5.1

Changes

Fixed outgoing payments stuck pending

This issue typically affected Lightning payments to hodl invoices. It would cause payments to remain "pending" in the UI, although they actually failed.

Note that this version does not fix the state of payments affected by this issue in v2.5.0. Those payments will remain in a pending state. However, it will prevent this issue from happening again for new payments. We'll try to find a solution to clean up the UI for those 2.5.0 payments.

Fixed payments metadata storage

In 2.5.0 payments metadata were not stored correctly, which affected several things like messages or links from LNURL payments, or payments' original fiat price.

Prevent deserialisation crash during migration

v2.5.0 data migration could crash on iOS when Phoenix was unable to deserialise some specific LN invoices. The crash during migration has been prevented so that affected users can start the app.

However the crash has not been fixed yet. Logs have also been added to identify the faulty invoice. If your app crashes when browsing the payments list, please send your logs to phoenix@acinq.co (or at least the line in the log saying cannot deserialize ...)

Phoenix v2.5.0

Changes

(android) Improved scanner performances (#673)

The scanner should be able to read QR codes faster, and do so on a wider range of devices. Some devices were even completely unable to scan anything ; this should be fixed.

Access to Tor now requires a third-party Tor Proxy VPN app (e.g. Orbot) (#662)

Phoenix previously embedded a Tor library in order to access the Tor network. While it was convenient not to have to install anything else, it also brought significant performance issues, especially for background payments because the connection had to be established on-the-fly.

With the Tor connection managed as a persistent VPN by a dedicated app, the connection is more stable, and background payments work much better.

(ios) Display the final wallet balance in the home screen (#667)

Pending on-chain funds are now displayed in an updated window in the Home screen ; it also shows the funds available in the final wallet.

(android) Removed legacy app (#671)

The old legacy app has now been removed. Along with other optimisations, this means the APK is now much smaller (16.5 MB instead of 72.5 MB).

Full changelog

Note that there has been a major database rework in this version, which is not visible to the user but impacted many files in the project. This + the legacy app removal means that the diff is very large.

Phoenix v2.4.3

Changes

Redesigned the screen for sending payments

The contacts list and a free-form text input are now displayed first, instead of trying to open the scanner immediately. A button to read QR codes on images stored on disk has also been added.

See #643 and #629 for details.

Photos can now be attached to contacts (Android)

You can also use an image from your device's gallery. Photos are stored in the app private folder. Note that on iOS this feature was added in a previous version.

Fixed issues on the Android legacy app

Especially, an issue that could prevent the legacy app from starting.

Phoenix v2.4.0

Changes

This is a major release for Android and iOS. It makes Phoenix compatible with the new open protocol that is now used by the ACINQ LSP. This new protocol is a thin layer on top of dual funding, splicing, and liquidity ads, all recent additions to the Lightning BOLT standard (see bLIP 36).

This protocol replaces the previous, proprietary, closed source LSP protocol that we have been using since the beginning of Phoenix.

Upgrading to v2.4.0 is required to accept on-the-fly liquidity, and manually request liquidity.

(android) Spend from final wallet

This release also adds a button to spend funds from the final wallet to any on-chain address, directly from Phoenix, instead of having to load the wallet on a third party tool (like Electrum). A notification is displayed to remind users when funds are present on the final wallet.

Note that in most situations, there should not be any funds on the final wallet, as it's only used in case of a channel is force-close.

This button will be added to iOS in a future release.

Increase BOLT12 invoices to 24 hours

By default BOLT12 invoices expired after 1 minute, which is too strict and causes issues with several services.
