Detailed Changes

Language Bindings

Added

Python:

• Client class: with_payment_mode method for setting the payment mode.
• PaymentMode enum for defining the available payment modes.

NodeJS:

• Client class: with_payment_mode method for setting the payment mode.
• PaymentMode enum for defining the available payment modes.

Network

Changed

• Nodes now use the Bootstrap struct to drive the initial bootstrapping process and the bootstrap cache.
• Nodes now evict peers immediately if they notice their peer ID has changed. This allows the network to flush out old peers much quicker. This should resolve some performance issues we've seen on the production network that have been the result of node operators who are over-provisioning and pulling large numbers of nodes in short time periods.

Bootstrapping

Added

• A new Bootstrap struct is introduced that provides a single interface to bootstrap a Node or Client to the network.
• The BootstrapConfig allows the user to modify various configurations for bootstrapping to the network. Some options include providing a manual address, setting a custom bootstrap cache directory, disabling bootstrap cache reading, setting custom network contacts url and so on.
• The Bootstrap struct dials peers from all provided sources before terminating: environment variables, CLI arguments, bootstrap cache, and network contact URLs. This solves the major issue of using an outdated bootstrap cache to dial the network.
• Implement file locking for bootstrap cache such that concurrent accesses do not error out or produce empty values.

Changed

• The old method of obtaining the bootstrap peers as Vec<MultiAddress> using InitialPeersConfig::get_bootstrap_addrs() has now been removed in favour of the automated bootstrapping process.

API

Added

• Introduce a new payment mode: single node. This reduces gas fees by making a single transaction to the median-priced node with 3x the quote amount, rather than 3 separate transactions to 3 highest nodes.
• PaymentMode enum for controlling upload payment strategy with Standard (pay 3 nodes) and SingleNode (pay 1 node with 3x amount) variants.
• Client::with_payment_mode() method for setting the payment mode on the client.
• Client::get_raw_quote_from_peer() method for obtaining quotes from specific peers without
  market prices. This is useful for testing and obtaining reward addresses.
• Client::get_node_version() async method for requesting the node version of a specific peer on
  the network.

Changed

• self_encryption dependency upgraded to version 0.34.1 for improved encryption performance.
• ClientConfig::bootstrap_cache_config and ClientConfig::init_peers_config has been deprecated in favour of ClientConfig::bootstrap_config. This new config combines all the options from the deprecated fields.

Payments

Changed

• Payment vault smart contract upgraded from V2 to V6. This upgrade supports the new single-node payment verification logic while maintaining backward compatibility.

Ant Client

Added

• The file cost command provides a --disable-single-node-payment flag to switch from the default single-node payment mode to the multi-node payment mode.
• The file upload command provides a --disable-single-node-payment flag to switch from the default single-node payment mode to the multi-node payment mode.
• The analyze command now has an analyse alias for British English spelling preference.
• The analyze command now supports a --closest-nodes flag argument that will display the closest nodes to the address being analysed.

Changed

• Single-node payment is now enabled by default for both the file cost and file upload commands,
  reducing gas fees for users. The previous behaviour can be restored using the --disable-single-node-payment flag.
• The NetworkDriver now uses the Boostrap struct to drive the initial bootstrapping process and the bootstrap cache.

General

Changed

• Various nightly CI workflows have been removed as they were not being actively used.
• GitHub Actions setup-python upgraded from v5 to v6.
