Exchange integration via pluginsPoint of Sale devices, improved NFC experience and better digital receiptsCheckout v2 gets further improvementsNew recovery seed phrase viewWallet labels export – BIP-329 and better label managementRestructuring how metadata is viewedDeprecating MySQL and SQLiteBug fixes
Breaking change
As part of our effort to withdraw support for MySQL and SQLite, if you start BTCPay Server with –sqlitefile or –mysql without being in the context of a migration, your server will fail to start.
We introduce another flag, –deprecated, which allows you to start with SQLite or MySQL even if it is deprecated. We will remove this flag in version 1.10.
