Detailed Changes

General

Changed

• For a branding alignment that moves Safe Network to Autonomi, all crates in the workspace prefixedsn- were renamed with an ant- prefix. For example, sn-node was renamed ant-node.
• To further support this alignment, several binaries were renamed:
  • autonomi -> ant
  • safenode -> antnode
  • safenode-manager -> antctl
  • safenode_rpc_client -> antnode_rpc_client
• The location of data directories used by the binaries were changed from ~/.local/share/safe to~/.local/share/autonomi. The same is true of the equivalent locations on macOS and Windows.
• The prefixes of metric names in the safenode binary (now antnode) were changed from sn_ to ant_.

Network

Added

• Provide Python bindings for antnode.
• Generic Transaction data type.
• Upgraded quoting with smart-contract-based pricing. This makes pricing fairer, as more nodes are rewarded and there are less incentives to cheat.
• Upgraded data payments verification.
• New storage proof verification which attempts to avoid outsourcing attack
• RBS support, dynamic responsible_range based on network_density equation estimation.
• Node support for client’s RBS get_closest query.
• More quoting metrics for potential future quoting scheme.
• Implement bootstrap cache for local, decentralized network contacts.
• Increased the number of peers returned for the get_closest query result.

Changed

• The SignedSpend data type was replaced by Transaction.
• Removed group_consensus on BadNode to support RBS in the future.
• Removed node-side quoting history check as part of the new quoting scheme.
• Rename continuous_bootstrap to network_discovery.
• Convert Distance into U256 via output string. This avoids the need to access thelibp2p::Distance private field because the change for it has not been published yet.
• For node and protocol versioning we remove the use of various keys in favour of a simple integer between 0 and 255. We reserve the value 1 for the main production network.
• The websockets feature was removed from the node binary. We will no longer support the ws protocol for connections.

Fixed

• Populate records_by_bucket during restart so that proper quoting can be retained after restart.
• Scramble libp2p native bootstrap to avoid patterned spike of resource usage.
• Replicate fresh ScratchPad.
• Accumulate and merge ScratchPad on record get.
• Remove an external address if it is unreliable.
• Bootstrap nodes were being replaced too frequently in the routing table.

Client

Added

• Provide Python bindings.
• Support for generic Transaction data type.
• Upgraded quoting with smart contract.
• Upgraded data payments with new quoting.
• Retry failed PUTs. This will retry when chunks failed to upload.
• WASM function to generate a vault key from a wallet signature.
• Use bootstrap cache mechanism to initialize Client object.
• Exposed many types at top-level, for more ergonomic use of the API. Together with more examples on function usage.
• Deprecated registers for the client, planning on replacing them fully with transactions and pointers.
• Wait a short while for initial network discovery to settle before quoting or uploading tasks begin.
• Stress tests for the register features of the vault.
• Improved logging for vault end-to-end test cases.
• More debugging logging for the client API and evmlib.
• Added support for adding a wallet from an environment variable if no wallet files are present.
• Provide wallet export command to export a wallet’s private key.

Changed

• Added and modified documentation in various places to improve developer experience.
• Renamed various methods to 'default' to private uploading, while public will have _public.
  suffixed. Also has various changes to allow more granular uploading of archives and data maps.
• Archives now store relative paths to files instead of absolute paths.
• The wallet create --private-key command has been changed to wallet import.

Fixed

• Files now download to a specific destination path.
• Retry when the number of quotes obtained are not enough.
• Return the wallet from an environment variable rather than creating a file.
• Error when decrypting a wallet that was imported without the 0x prefix.
• Issue when selecting a wallet that had multiple wallet files (unencrypted & encrypted).

Launchpad

Added

• Added --network-id and --antnode-path args for testing.
