 # Improvements
 ## Functional Updates
 
-* [Allow](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9017) the compression of logs during rotation with ZSTD via the `logcompressor` startup argument.

 * The SCB file now [contains more data][https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8183]
   that enable a last resort rescue for certain cases where the peer is no longer
