+# Introducing XRP Ledger version 1.9.4
+
+Version 1.9.4 of `rippled`, the reference implementation of the XRP Ledger protocol is now available. This release introduces an amendment that removes the ability for an NFT issuer to indicate that trust lines should be automatically created for royalty payments from secondary sales of NFTs, in response to a bug report that indicated how this functionality could be abused to mount a denial of service attack against the issuer.
+
+## Action Required
+
+This release introduces a new amendment to the XRP Ledger protocol, **`fixRemoveNFTokenAutoTrustLine`** to mitigate a potential denial-of-service attack against NFT issuers that minted NFTs and allowed secondary trading of those NFTs to create trust lines for any asset.
+
+This amendment is open for voting according to the XRP Ledger's [amendment process](https://xrpl.org/amendments.html), which enables protocol changes following two weeks of >80% support from trusted validators.
+
+If you operate an XRP Ledger server, then you should upgrade to version 1.9.4 within two weeks, to ensure service continuity. The exact time that protocol changes take effect depends on the voting decisions of the decentralized network.
+
+For more information about NFTs on the XRP Ledger, see [NFT Conceptual Overview](https://xrpl.org/nft-conceptual-overview.html).

+This release contains the following bug fixes:
 
 - **Change by-value to by-reference to persist vote**: A minor technical flaw, caused by use of a copy instead of a reference, resulted in operator-configured "yes" votes to not be properly loaded after a restart. ([#4256](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4256))
 - **Properly handle self-assignment of PublicKey**: The `PublicKey` copy assignment operator mishandled the case where a `PublicKey` would be assigned to itself, and could result in undefined behavior.
