Although the risk for common use cases is believed to be low, all users are encouraged to update to these versions or newer as soon as possible. More information on the security vulnerability can be found in the following ESnet Software Security Advisory:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/esnet/security/master/cve-2016-4303/esnet-secadv-2016-0001.txt.asc
iperf-3.1.3 also includes support for fair-queueing, per-socket based pacing of tests on platforms that support it (currently recent Linux distributions), as well as several other fixes.

Beginning with the release of iperf 3.1, ESnet plans to support iperf3 in “maintenance mode”. At this point, we have no definite plans for further iperf3 releases, and ESnet will be providing a very limited amount of resources for support and development, going forward. However, ESnet could issue new iperf3 releases to deal with security issues or high-impact bug fixes.
Requests for support, enhancements, and questions should best be directed to the iperf-dev mailing list. ESnet would be open to adding project members/committers from the community, in case there are developers who are interested in doing more active work with iperf3 and/or supporting the user base.

Several problems with the -B option have been fixed. Also, API calls have been added to libiperf to extend this functionality to API clients.
Some portability fixes for OpenBSD and Solaris have been merged from the mainline.
As always, more details can be found in the RELNOTES.md file in
the source distribution.
iperf3 project documentation can now be found at:
This is a GitHub Pages site. In an ongoing series of steps, content will be migrated from the iperf3 wiki to GitHub Pages.

A timing issue which caused measurement intervals to be wrong with TCP tests on lossy networks has been fixed.
It is now possible to get (most of) the server-side output at
the client by using the --get-server-output flag.
A number of bugs with --json output have been fixed.
A more extensive list of changes can always be found in the
RELNOTES.md file in the source distribution.
Note: An iperf-3.0.4 release was planned and tagged, but not officially released.
iperf3 downloads are now hosted on a new server at ESnet:
Going forward, new releases will be made available in this directory. Older releases will, at least for now, continue to also be available at the previous location.

The structure of the JSON output is more consistent between the cases of one stream and multiple streams.
The example programs once again build correctly.
A possible buffer overflow related to error output has been fixed. (This is not believed to be exploitable.)

Instead it is an uncompressed tar archive. The file checksum is correct, as are the file contents.
This version is a maintenance release that fixes a number of bugs, many reported by users, adds a few minor enhancements, and tracks the migration of the iperf3 project to GitHub. Of particular interest:
Build / runtime fixes for CentOS 5, MacOS 10.9, and FreeBSD.
TCP snd_cwnd output on Linux in the default output format.
libiperf is now built as both a shared and static library; by default, the iperf3 binary links to the shared library.

file in the source distribution.

Because of the possibility for confusion, this first public release of iperf3 was numbered 3.0.1.
