The XRP Ledger’s core server software has a new name and a hefty round of housekeeping. Version 3.2.0, released on June 15, marks the official rebrand from “rippled” to “xrpld,” a shift that’s been brewing under amendment XLS-0095 and signals a deliberate effort to put daylight between the open-source blockchain and Ripple, the company most people still confuse it with.
It’s a maintenance-heavy release, not a flashy feature drop. But for node operators and validators, the changes are significant enough to require immediate upgrades.
What actually changed
Configuration files, database paths, and metadata all change with the new branding. That means anyone running a node who doesn’t upgrade will find themselves dealing with compatibility headaches.
The meatier technical work comes via the “fixCleanup3_2_0” amendment. This single amendment retires over 30 older amendments in one sweep, eliminating legacy code that had accumulated across years of incremental updates.
