v0.3.0

Overview

SLi (Simply Lightning) - A versatile shell utility designed to simplify Bitcoin Lightning Network node management.
version 0.3.0 comes with a recipe management system, each package have it own recipe and anyone can easily add package to SLi.

For the story, SLi was created to easily install and upgrade Lit/lnd to manage my own Lighnting node, but I found many other useful tools and the community feedbacks pushed SLi to a more general Lightning package manager including any kind of package, that's what recipes bring, install binary or compile any tool and keep track of installed files for easy upgrade or removal.

Changes in v0.3.0

• Full recipe package management
• Improve package upgrade
• Better error handling
• Improve node health check
• Integradted Thunderhub config
• Bug fixes and miscs improvments
