🪧⚡️LND Update: v1.19.3 → v0.20.0 🚀⬆️ This is a major release that introduces significant changes, including a recommended database migration for optimization purposes for nodes using PostgreSQL as their database backend ( db.backend=postgres in lnd.conf ). ⚠️ The new parameter `db.use-native-sql=true` must be added to lnd.conf under the [db] section. See the DIFF checker ~> https://www.diffchecker.com/lv3Bechy 💡 Remember to restart the service to apply the changes to the LND configuration.
