Import and trust the GPG signing key (first time only):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/autonomi/main/resources/keys/autonomi-signing-key.asc -o /tmp/autonomi-signing-key.asc
gpg --import /tmp/autonomi-signing-key.asc
echo 'D39ABED4DC364A8D0812F539C19B57B73D6EA0AB:6:' | gpg --import-ownertrust

Verify the signature:

gpg --verify 2026.2.3.2.autonomi.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.deb.asc 2026.2.3.2.autonomi.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.deb

Detailed Changes

Network

Added

• The antnode binary now supports automatic upgrades on Windows. The same periodic upgrade check
  that was previously available on macOS and Linux will now also run on Windows. The self-replace
  crate is used to handle binary replacement while the process is running. Retries with backoff are
  used to handle transient antivirus file locks.

Changed

• The connection prune deadline for non-routing-table peers (e.g. clients) has been increased from
  60 seconds to 120 seconds and is now reset each time a new request is received on the connection.
  This prevents premature connection closure during long-running operations such as put_record.

Antctl

Changed

• Updated to accommodate automatic upgrades on Windows. This includes using an OnFailure restart
  policy for Windows services, handling the self-replace crate's .__relocated__ filename pattern
  for process identification, and updating the service-manager dependency to 0.11.0.

Fixed

• The merkle_payments_address setting is now retained when upgrading a node service via antctl.
  Previously, build_upgrade_install_context() was not passing this argument when reinstalling,
  causing the setting to be lost.

Launchpad

Added

• A scrollbar on the node grid that appears when the content overflows the visible area.

Fixed

• The connection mode display now correctly maps no_upnp and default flags to their respective
  modes. Previously, UPnP and Manual modes were swapped.
• The TUI no longer blocks on a full node registry refresh at startup. Instead, it renders
  immediately using disk-cached state and triggers a background refresh once the action handler is
  registered.
• On Windows, WinSW is now placed at C:\ProgramData\antctl\winsw.exe instead of the launchpad's
  own data directory. This avoids MSIX filesystem virtualisation redirecting the path and preventing
  the service management code from finding the executable.
• On Windows, the launchpad now uses C:\ProgramData\antctl\data for the node data directory
  instead of dirs_next::data_dir(). The MSIX filesystem virtualises the %APPDATA% path, causing
  the antnode binary to be written to a virtualised location that the service manager cannot find.
