Hi all!

	https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/releases/tag/v0.5-2016-10-19

	This release can actually buy a cat picture from
http://128.199.80.48/ which is also running a lightning server on port
8334.

Christian Decker did much of the heavy lifting for this release, but it
predates the Milan spec so that's to be the focus of 0.6.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Changelog:
- IRC-based node and channel announcements (thanks Christian).
- Sphinx-based onion for HTLC privacy (thanks Christian).
- Primitive helper scripts in contrib/
- Invoice support for receiving payments.
- A bit more robustness for operation testnet.
- Many minor fixes and cleanups.
