Lightning Labs released v0.20.1-beta to fix 15 bugs from the v0.20.0 SQL migration. If you're running v0.20.0-beta, upgrade now.

Lightning Labs has released LND v0.20.1-beta, a recommended point release fixing critical issues including startup failures, shutdown deadlocks, and routing bugs.

Both major Lightning Network implementations released important bug fix versions in February 2026. LND v0.20.1-beta addresses upgrade compatibility issues and LSP probing, while Core Lightning v25.12.1 fixes critical signing bugs affecting newer nodes.
