# The Flow Amendment is Open for Voting
|
||
|
||
Originally introduced in `rippled` [version 0.32.1](/blog/2016/rippled-0.32.1.md), but later [vetoed](/blog/2016/flowv2-vetoed.md) after a flaw was discovered in the code while testing, the new [Flow Amendment](/resources/known-amendments.md#flow) is now open for voting. This amendment replaces the payment processing engine with a more robust and efficient rewrite called the Flow engine. The new payments engine adds no new features, but improves efficiency and robustness in payment handling.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Action Required
|
||
|
||
**If you operate a `rippled` server, then you should upgrade to version 0.33.0 by Thursday, 2016-10-20, for service continuity.**
|
||
|
||
## Impact of Not Upgrading
|
||
|
||
If you operate a `rippled` server but don’t upgrade to version 0.33.0 by Thursday, 2016-10-20, when Flow is expected to be enabled via Amendment, then your server will become [amendment blocked](/docs/concepts/networks-and-servers/amendments#amendment-blocked-servers), 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
|
||
|
||
If the Flow amendment is vetoed or does not pass, then your server will not become amendment blocked and should continue to operate.
|
||
|
||
For instructions on updating `rippled` on supported platforms, see [Updating `rippled` on supported platforms](/docs/infrastructure/installation/update-rippled-automatically-on-linux).
|
||
|
||
For other platforms, please [compile version 0.33.0-hf1 from source](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/blob/0.33.0-hf1/Builds).
