_This release's name is dedicated to Leo. Leo is easily one of the nicest people in Bitcoin and has been active in the LNbits chat since the beginning, helping people debug, and coming up with new great ideas such as his Bitcoin Laisee (red envelopes of bitcoin given to people on the Chinese New Year). Thank you [Leo](https://twitter.com/LeoAW)!_
Among countless optimizations and stability improvements that make LNbits faster and more reliable, we are thrilled to announce a new exciting feature which we (with the incredible work of jackstar12) have been working on for some time: The LNbits node manager.
LNbits node manager
This release introduces the **LNbits node manager** which allows you to manage your Lightning channels directly from within your LNbits. The node manager works with **Core Lightning and LND** and we plan to add support for more Lightning backends soon.

Public node page
The node manager also offers a public node page that you can share with others who want to open a channel to your node.

Other notable changes
Upgrade FastAPI
We have upgraded the API framework that we use in LNbits. That means that most extensions need to be update to work with this release. Please log in as an admin user and update your extensions to the latest version after upgrading your LNbits.
(Thank you dni and talvasconcelos grinding through and patching ALL the extensions)
