 You should see lower memory usage and reduced GC pauses thanks to the new Green Tea garbage collector (10-40% less GC overhead). Reading block data and API responses is faster due to `io.ReadAll` improvements (~2x faster, ~50% less memory). On 64-bit platforms, heap base address randomization adds a layer of security hardening.

+### 🔦 Highlights
+
+#### Windows stability fix
+
+If you run Kubo on Windows, v0.40.0 can crash after running for a while. The daemon starts fine and works normally at first, but eventually hits a memory corruption in Go's network I/O layer and dies. This is likely caused by an upstream Go 1.26 regression in overlapped I/O handling that has known issues ([go#77142](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/77142), [#11214](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues/11214)).
+
+This patch release downgrades the Go toolchain from 1.26 to 1.25, which does not have this bug. If you are running Kubo on Windows, upgrade to v0.40.1. We will switch back to Go 1.26.x once the upstream fix lands.
