Hi y'all,

We've just cut the first release candidate for lnd v0.17.1-beta, you can
find the release itself here:
https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases/tag/v0.17.1-beta.rc1.

The release notes can be found here:
https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/v0-17-1-branch-rc1/docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.17.1.md.

This release contains some protocol related bug fixes, and some
optimizations to the mempool scanning logic added as a defense against the
recently announced replacement cycling attacks.

Release highlights:

  * Bug fix for a case when taproot channels would show as inactive until a
    restart.

  * Anchor outputs are now only attempted to be swept if we need them to
    CPFP due to an upcoming commitment/HTLC deadline. This'll help mitigate
    some issues that neutrino nodes can run into as they don't have access
    to a mempool, and bitcoind has removed the existing reject messages from
    their implementation.

  * The mempool scanning logic has been optimized significantly, when we
    detect that a node is connected to bitcoind 24 and up. Rather than fetch
    the entire mempool to scan, we can instead rely on a newly added RPC
    call.

As usual, we recommend that all node operators update!

Feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions, or concerns about
updating to this new release.
