LND 0.21.5 Adds Ceiling on External Bitcoin Fee Estimates

  • —Release candidate v0.21.5-beta.rc1 caps external fee estimates at 10,000 sat/vB
  • —The ceiling also applies to the API's minimum-relay estimate
  • —A native SQL connection-pool deadlock was fixed
  • —No database migration is required
Why it matters: The cap shields wallets from inflated fees if an external estimation service fails or is compromised.
