Meeting Notes 2024 04 15

LDK Releases

• 0.0.122 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/43)
  • Quick release for a bug fix re: forward compatibility
  • Users once upgraded to 123 should not downgrade to 121. So you can go from 123 to 122 but not further
• 0.0.123 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/40)
  • Getting close
  • Testing appreciated once RC is out
• 0.0.124 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/42)
• 0.1 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/1)
