+# Release Notes
+
+## `lncli`
+
+* The `lncli wallet psbt fund` command now allows users to specify the
+  [`--min_confs` flag](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7510).
+ 
+* [Add time_lock_delta overflow check for UpdateChannelPolicy](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7350)
+  that ensure `time_lock_delta` is greater or equal than `0` and less or equal than `65535`
+
+* [Added ability to backup, verify and
+  restore single channels](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7437)
+  to and from a file on disk.
+
+## Watchtowers
+
+* [Fix Address iterator 
+  panic](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7556)
+* [Allow caller to filter sessions at the time of reading them from 
+  disk](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7059)
+* [Clean up sessions once all channels for which they have updates for are
+  closed. Also start sending the `DeleteSession` message to the
+  tower.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7069)
+* [Don't load exhausted sessions when not
+  needed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7405). Also add a new
+  `exclude_exhausted_sessions` boolean flag to the relevant lncli wtclient
+  commands.
+* [Recover from StateUpdateCodeClientBehind 
+  error](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7541) after data loss. 
+
+## Build
+* [ldflags were being incorrectly passed](
+https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7359)
+
+## Misc
+
+* [Return `FEE_INSUFFICIENT` before checking balance for incoming low-fee
+  HTLCs.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7490).
+ 
+## Spec
+
+* [Add test vectors for
+  option_zero_fee_htlc_tx](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7439)
+
+## RPC
+
+* A [debug log](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7514) has been
+  added to `lnrpc` so the node operator can know whether a certain request has
+  happened or not.
+* [Add peer_scid_alias to the response of 
+  `listchannels`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7366)
+
+* Message `funding_locked` [has been
+  renamed](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7517) to
+  `channel_ready` internally to match the specs update. This should not change
+  anything for the users since the message type(36) stays unchanged, except in
+  the logging all the appearance of `funding_locked` replated experssion is
+  replaced with `channel_ready`.
+## Bug Fixes
+
+* [Fix a bug where lnd crashes when psbt data is not fully 
+available](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7529).
