Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for lnbits/lnbits focused on delivering core features, hardening reliability, and improving observability. Key features delivered include: Extension installation readiness prompt to surface available-but-not-installed extensions and prompt users to install them; Unified payment request API that centralizes create_payment_request for fiat and Lightning invoices; User notifications system with backend and UI to support multi-channel alerts (Telegram, Nostr, email) and per-user preferences; and Server startup logging and observability to provide version visibility, startup time metrics, and concise startup logs. Major bugs fixed include: Graceful shutdown for the payment stream by replacing infinite loops with a controlled running flag to prevent resource leaks and unexpected shutdown behavior; Security and error handling hardening across modules with explicit checks and improved exception logging; Dependency upgrade: protobuf to 5.29.5 to maintain compatibility and security. Overall impact: strengthened user experience in extension management, more robust and centralized payment flows, improved reliability and observability for faster issue diagnosis, and a stronger security posture. Technologies/skills demonstrated: backend refactoring and API design, multi-channel notification architecture, observability instrumentation, security hardening, dependency management, and CI-driven quality improvements.
