Please follow these instructions to upgrade your nodes to the newest version to ensure the best performance and stability for everyone! Check out the Github Release with changelog details.
For Node Launchpad Users:
Open Node Launchpad v0.5.3 if you are not already on that version
Press O to access the Options screen.
Then, press Ctrl + U, and hit Enter. This will upgrade your nodes. Upgrading can take several minutes for each node. Please don’t close the app or stop your nodes during this process.
Your nodes will now stop
Press Ctrl + S to start your nodes again
For CLI Tool Users:
If you’re using the CLI tool, please update and upgrade. Run the update first: antup update
Then run the upgrade: antctl upgrade --interval 60000
For ALL Users:
Please start your nodes gradually — especially if you plan on running multiple nodes.
Be conservative with CPU allocation to maintain stability
This should address the client issue with duplicate payments for the same file.
I have upgraded to 0.3.4 and cannot get any nodes to run continuosly on my rpi3, whereas before i had 9 running well. Im also using load of bandwidth when attempting to start nodes but they dont stick around and go to stopped status. Cpu is at near 100%. Ive tried openeing one at a time, maybe i should just reset everything?
Ive reset everything and still no change. Im on the latest node-launchpad also… any help much appreciated?
Is there a way to go back to previous antnode version? I cannot run even one node when i was running 9 before. Ive put new os on sd card and reformatted hdd and its still running at ridiculously high cpu usage so that even one node goes to stopped status after 5 minutes
However, I do want just want to say, version 0.3.4 of the node doesn’t have any changes. It was just a ‘safety’ bump. It is only the ant client that has changed. So there is something odd going on here. I’m going to see about removing these safety bumps too, because they are clearly a bit confusing.
As a separate issue, due to the node not having changes with this release, the title of the thread is actually unintentionally misleading. We should start using the package version in the title, which would be 2024.12.1.9. It should be about the announcement of a new release, which can be for ant, antnode, or antctl, or any combination of those.
Remove the 50% CPU usage safety measure. We added a safety measure to the node to cause the process to terminate if the system’s CPU usage exceeded 50% for five consecutive minutes. This was to prevent cascading failures resulting from too much churn when a large node operator pulled the plug on tens of thousands of nodes in a very short period of time. If other operators had provisioned to max capacity and not left some buffer room for their own nodes, many other node processes could die from the resulting churn. After an internal discussion, the decision was taken to remove the safety measure.
