reckless plugin manager can be used to download, install and uninstall plugins on the fly. We have many new features planned for it, so stay tuned.keysend any extra TLV fields will be stored so they can be retrieved later.--database-update=false flag allows users wanting to test unreleased versions from accidentally upgrading the database, and then be unable to switch to a released version again.channel_update messages include htlc_maximum_msat (as per latest BOLTs)filter API. This can be used to massively reduce the size of results if only part of it is required. See the RPC documentation for details.openchannel hook can be used to set a reserve value other than the 1% default value. This also allows not having a reserve in case the peer is (semi-)trusted.Since v0.12.1 we've had 431 commits in 99 days by 27 authors
