docs: add release-notes for LND 20.1
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only edits the release notes document for LND 0.20.1. It adds a description of a previously merged bug fix (PR #10449) that could cause startup failures due to timestamp comparison issues. The commit itself does not change any executable code, so it cannot directly introduce or fix a security vulnerability. It is purely documentation.
No action required for this documentation commit. Review PR #10449 separately if assessing the underlying fix.
Security signals we found
Release note references a prior bug fix (PR #10449) related to startup failures
No code changes in this commit
No security-specific language in the added release note text
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds a bullet to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.20.1.md describing PR #10449, which fixes a timestamp comparison bug in source node updates that could lead to ‘sql: no rows in result set’ startup errors. The actual code change occurred in PR #10449, not in this commit. This commit is a documentation-only update with no code modifications.
