BTCPay Server has released version 2.4.5, with changes centered on security hardening and deployment adjustments. According to a post from Bitcoin News on X, the update strengthens security for Lightning and LNURL while also improving invoice generation performance. One of the main changes is that Tor is no longer enabled by default in Docker deployments and is now optional. The release also narrows the exposure of public Lightning APIs and removes several integrations that had either been deprecated or were no longer actively maintained. BTCPay Server recommended that all server administrators update to the new version. Operators that rely on Tor or on integrations affected by the cleanup were advised to review deployment changes before upgrading. The release also reopens Plugin Builder, which had previously been paused after a server intrusion. Build jobs now run inside temporary isolated sandboxes, and the system adds several new controls, including build output verification, administrator audit logs, alerts for new accounts, and build notifications.
