TL;DR

What's New

• rippled 3.1.3 released — the tagged release is now available (3.1.3). This ships everything from the staging branch that merged yesterday, including a new GPG signing key rotation. However, see the issue below about missing artifacts.

Opened

• MPT sequence byte-order fix in rippled — STIssue::add() double-swapped the MPTID sequence on little-endian hosts due to add32() applying a redundant native-to-BE conversion on already-canonical bytes, causing wire encoding mismatches with external clients like xrpl4j. Already approved (+302/−17) (rippled#7098). Was noted yesterday as opened; now has four approvals.
• Config string literals → constants in rippled — replaces section/key name string literals with constants across 82 files to prevent accidental search-and-replace breakage (+1,230/−998) (rippled#7095)
• Consensus test migration to GTest in rippled — migrates all consensus unit tests from Beast to GTest, introducing helpers like beastJournal and copying CSF headers into the xrpld test namespace (+6,511/−1,369 across 34 files) (rippled#7046)
• Dependency bumps on the developer portal — fast-xml-builder 1.1.5 → 1.2.0 (xrpl-dev-portal#3635) and axios 1.15.0 → 1.16.0 (xrpl-dev-portal#3634)

Issues

• Missing container images and GitHub Release for 3.1.3 in rippled — a community member reports that while the git tag exists, there's no proper GitHub Release page or published Docker images, preventing automated monitoring and container-based deployments (rippled#7099)
