# Loop Client Release Notes
This file tracks release notes for the loop client.

### Developers: 
* When new features are added to the repo, a short description of the feature should be added under the "Next Release" heading.
* This should be done in the same PR as the change so that our release notes stay in sync!

### Release Manager: 
* All of the items under the "Next Release" heading should be included in the release notes.
* As part of the PR that bumps the client version, cut everything below the 'Next Release' heading.
* These notes can either be pasted in a temporary doc, or you can get them from the PR diff once it is merged.
* The notes are just a guideline as to the changes that have been made since the last release, they can be updated.
* Once the version bump PR is merged and tagged, add the release notes to the tag on GitHub.

## Next release

#### New Features

* Sweep Batcher: A new sub-system was added that handles all the loopout
sweeps. Successful loopout HTLCs will no longer be swept back to the wallet via
individual transactions but will instead form a single transaction that holds
multiple inputs and pays to a single output. This will significantly reduce
chain fee costs as it's using less block space by directly consolidating all the
htlcs to a single address. Loopouts that pay to non-wallet addresses will still
use individual transactions as their output cannot be mutated.
