+# Introducing XRP Ledger version 3.1.2
+
+Version 3.1.2 of `rippled`, the reference server implementation of the XRP Ledger protocol, is now available. This release contains fixes for security issues that, in the worst case scenario, could cause servers to crash or restart. There are no new features or amendments in this release.
+
+## Action Required
+
+**If you operate a `rippled` server**, then you should update to version 3.1.2 as soon as possible to ensure service continuity.
+
+### Impact of Not Upgrading
+
+If you do not upgrade, your server may experience restarts or outages.
+
+### Install / Upgrade
+
+On supported platforms, see the [instructions on installing or updating `rippled`](../../docs/infrastructure/installation/index.md).
