Announcement: Latest Release
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 v0.5.6 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
@rusty.spork Can you relay to the team that my uploads of 10MiB random files went from succeeding in 5 to 12 minutes to upload the file stage of the upload (not the archive chunk since that takes an hour).
Chalk and cheese. in the hour before upgrading it was like 5 to 12 minutes and after none succeed in 15 minutes and taking a much longer time and maybe never succeeding. Just sitting on “paying for 4 chunks”
But now there are no uploads that succeed in 15 minutes. The time skyrocketed a lot
According to the dashboard now, the distribution is as follows: old: 15.33% (prior to 2025.1.2.6) 2025.1.2.6: 69.99% 2025.1.2.11: 14.68%
I should add, we are not quite sure on the confidence level of these numbers. We are going to be doing some work on how the routing table is refreshed, and part of that work involves doing a test to try and establish the accuracy of the data we are collecting with respect to this. That will be getting carried out soon, either tomorrow or Tuesday.
