Action Required

• If you operate a rippled server, you should upgrade to version 1.0.1 (or higher) immediately.

For instructions on upgrading rippled on supported platforms, see Updating rippled on supported platforms.

Impact of Not Upgrading

If you operate a rippled server on a version older than 1.0.0, then your server is now amendment blocked, meaning that your server:

• Cannot determine the validity of a ledger
• Cannot submit or process transactions
• Does not participate in the consensus process
• Does not vote on future amendments
• Could rely on potentially invalid data
