## Summary

Eclair has merged fixes for Lightning Network flaws that could cause users to lose Bitcoin through excessive on-chain fees. The changes address fee-related edge cases in channel operations, reducing the risk that a transaction or channel closure consumes funds unexpectedly. The fixes improve Eclair’s safety, but users and node operators should still update to a release that includes them.
