For your security, you should always check the binaries against the published file hashes. The list of hashes as well as the source code final commit tag are signed using my GPG key, which you can verify using my GPG Fingerprint posted at https://github.com/hans-schmidt
There is no OSX build due to Apple SDK restrictions, and the windows files are unsigned.

This is a very simple release. The only difference between 4.3.2.0 and 4.3.2.1 is the version data, everything else is identical. We have submitted the original 4.3.2.0 release to be verified by Microsoft Defender Security to see why they are issuing a false positive.

Updated with signed windows and MacOS installers.
The primary reason for this release is to update the seed-node list. Previously this was hard-coded to simply point to the core seed-nodes (see src/chainparamsseeds.h for new IP list). This isn't as decentralized as desired. Now we are running a seed-node-crawler identical to the one that Bitcoin Core uses. The crawler keeps track of node availability, chain tip validity, and other parameters to create a list of known-good-node-addresses. The list of good-node-addresses is used in the chainparamsseeds.h file and creates a more distributed network. It also includes the original seed-nodes since they will be detected by the crawler as good. Anyone can run a full-node and become a seed-node, doing so helps RVN become even more decentralized.
Includes all fixes for pool nodes running 4.3.0 by including fixes for getblocktemplate
Version bump to 4.3.0 Multiple bug fixes
Now with more POW!!!
