The XRP Ledger has received a major software upgrade to version 3.4.0, introducing performance improvements, bug fixes, and protocol changes. The update also includes two new amendments, such as an upgraded lending functionality. Key enhancements include pausing online data deletion when transaction history gaps are detected to prevent servers from falling behind, as well as optimizing Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) checks and improving resistance to unusual inputs and edge cases. Operators are urged to upgrade servers promptly to ensure continued service.
