# Historical Balance Sheets & Reliable Lightning Syncs | v1.0.0-beta.10

> Historical balance sheets via --as-of, more reliable Core Lightning and LND syncs, testnet4 support, faster on-chain incrementals, and journal fixes.

Published 2026-05-07 at https://clams.tech/blog/release-v1-0-0-beta-10/

Historical balance sheets, more reliable Lightning and on-chain syncs, testnet4 support, and a long list of fixes.

## Historical Balance Sheets

The balance sheet report now accepts an **--as-of** flag, so you can produce a balance sheet for any point in the past:

<pre><code>clams reports balance-sheet --as-of 2026-03-31T23:59:59Z</code></pre>

The output itself has been cleaned up. Assets, Liabilities, and Equity each get their own section with totals and a balance check. Timestamps render in your local timezone, and amounts are comma-grouped. Connection labels are more stable across saved reports, holding up better across renames and deletions.

## More Reliable Lightning Syncs

Core Lightning syncs now handle Esplora rate limits gracefully, work cleanly over Tor-backed Commando connections, and process closed channels and long-running syncs more reliably. CLN and LND syncs are also faster: independent node requests overlap where it's safe to do so.

LND pending-invoice handling has been improved. Nodes with many open invoices, or sync runs that were interrupted, now complete more reliably.

## Force Full Sync

When a checkpoint looks stale or suspect, you can force a full re-sync from scratch:

<pre><code>clams connections sync --all --force-full-sync</code></pre>

Useful after reconnecting an old node, restoring from backup, or when you want to rule out checkpoint corruption.

## On-Chain Wallet Improvements

Descriptor and XPub connections pick up several improvements: faster incremental syncs after the first scan, recovery from older checkpoint formats, and more complete handling of historical wallet-owned outputs.

Testnet4 is now a supported network for Address, Descriptor, and XPub connections.

## Journals

A new **clams journals events count** subcommand summarizes journal activity by event type and connection, giving you a fast way to sanity-check what your journal contains.

Journal processing is faster on large Lightning-heavy profiles. If a previous run crashed, an abandoned **journals.lock** no longer blocks future runs.

## Reporting Fixes

Capital gains and portfolio summary calculations have been corrected in edge cases involving stale fiat rates, metadata account overrides, and same-timestamp buys and sells.

Aliased Lightning channel-open accounting now attributes funding to the correct connection. Balance sheets no longer show inflated residual on-chain fees from these channel opens.

## CLI Changes

A few command surfaces have changed:

- **clams connections create** now requires configuration up front for **Nwc** and **Address** connections. **CoreLn** and **Lnd** can still be created without config for manual import workflows.
- Explicit CLI commands no longer auto-run **clams init** when config is missing. The CLI now plays cleanly with state created by the desktop app.
- Paginated list commands include **has_more** in JSON and YAML output, so scripting pagination is simpler.
- **clams metadata records excluded set --excluded false** now works as documented, letting you un-exclude records using the boolean form.
- **clams profiles set --onchain-source-id** rejects invalid source IDs before the setting is saved.

Connection setup and sync error messages are clearer, especially for malformed configs, NWC wallet errors, and timeouts.

## Installation

The install and update examples now download scripts before executing them, instead of piping network responses directly into a shell. The Windows **clams update** fallback also handles a few previously-broken edge cases.
