Blockstream has released a new version of its Bitcoin scalability software, c-lightning.
“This release is the culmination of eight months of work since our last major release, by 50 contributors from all over the world and comprising 1,300 commits. Not only does this release include a number of performance enhancements and bug fixes, but it comes with some truly exciting new features,” the venture says in a blog post.
The flagship feature is plugin supports. “Plugins allow developers to extend Lightning with their own applications written in any language,” the blog post states.
“They further strengthen our commitment to becoming the most flexible, extensible, and customisable implementation of the Lightning Network specification. They enable us to stay focused on the core functionality, while at the same time empowering users and developers to add their own functionality to integrate c-lightning into their environment.”
