Node Releases¶
Updates to the Nano protocol are done through major node releases, occurring approximately every 1 to 4 months, and necessary patch releases in between. As changes are made to the protocol over time, newer node versions will stop peering with older versions. Details on which versions are actively peering, supported and being developed are included below.
Nano Roadmap moved to GitHub
Head over to the new Nano Roadmap GitHub Project for a more dynamic and updated view of the upcoming features under research and implementation for the Nano node and protocol.
Current Release¶
The following release is the latest and only release actively supported by the Nano Foundation. This release and the Active Releases below represent the only node versions that will participate on the main network. More details can be found on the Current Release Notes page.
| Node | Protocol | Database | Release Date | Release Notes | GitHub Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21.2 | 18 | 18 | 2020-09-03 | V21.2 | Release - Milestone - Changelog |
Known Issue V19+: macOS 'Too many open files'
-
Issue: The following error can be seen when attempting to run a full node on macOS using the built-in Qt wallet or other GUI-based wallets: "Exception while running wallet: open: Too many open files". This is due to macOS having a very low default file descriptor limit and V19.0 uses more of them after the move to TCP.
-
Solution: For now a workaround is needed to increase the limit. The method depends on the specific macOS version, but some people had success with the recipe in https://superuser.com/a/1171028.

Next Planned Release¶
The following release is currently under development. Details about potential features to be included can be found on the Upcoming Features page.
| Node | Protocol | Database | Release Date | Release Notes | GitHub Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22.0 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD | Release - Milestone - Changelog |
Setup for testing on beta or test network
If you are looking to test the latest version of the node ahead of release, check out the Beta Network and Test Network pages for more details about how to get setup on the appropriate network. Typically general integration and node upgrades are tested on the public test network, while new feature and load testing are conducted on the beta network.
Active Releases¶
The following releases can still actively participate on the network by peering with other nodes of the same versions. Any nodes running versions earlier than these will no longer peer with the latest and fall out of sync with the network.

This is due to macOS having a very low default file descriptor limit and V19.0 uses more of them after the move to TCP.

Known Issue Windows V21: Crash when using config node.logging.stable_log_filename
Setting node.logging.stable_log_filename configuration option to true results in a node crash on Windows in V21.0 and V21.1, after a node restart. This must be set to false.

Known Issue Linux V21: 'unable to find libboost'
If you are on Linux and unable to get V21.0 to start, unable to find libboost... https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-node/releases/download/V21.0/nano-node-V21.0.1-Linux.tar.bz2 has been added to the release artifacts with the correct lib rpath. Please use this if you do not wish to move the lib folder into the bin folder after extraction.
Known Issue Windows V21: Crash when using config node.logging.stable_log_filename
Setting node.logging.stable_log_filename configuration option to true results in a node crash on Windows in V21.0 and V21.1, after a node restart. This must be set to false.
Inactive Releases¶
The following versions are no longer peered with by nodes running the active versions above and will not work properly communicate if run on the network. The details below are for historical purposes only.
