# Two Fix Amendments Are Now Enabled

As [previously announced](https://xrpl.org/blog/2020/deletableaccounts-expected.html), the [fixCheckThreading](https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/transactions/74AFEA8C17D25CA883D40F998757CA3B0DB1AC86794335BAA25FF20E00C2C30A) and [fixPayChanRecipientOwnerDir](https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/transactions/D2F8E457D08ACB185CDE3BB9BB1989A9052344678566785BACFB9DFDBDEDCF09) amendments became enabled on 2020-05-01.

The DeletableAccounts amendment is still expected for 2020-05-08.

## Action Required

- If you operate a `rippled` server, you must upgrade to version 1.4.0 or higher by **2020-05-01**, for service continuity. **Version 1.5.0** is *strongly recommended*.
- If you use the [`account_channels` API method](https://xrpl.org/account_channels.html), you must upgrade to `rippled` version 1.5.0 to avoid breaking changes to the API triggered by the fixPayChanRecipientOwnerDir amendment.
- The DeletableAccounts amendment changes the starting [sequence numbers](https://xrpl.org/basic-data-types.html#account-sequence) for accounts. If you have automatic processes that send transactions from newly-funded accounts, please check that the change does not break critical processes.


For instructions on upgrading `rippled` on supported platforms, see [Install `rippled`](https://xrpl.org/install-rippled.html).

## Impact of Not Upgrading

If you operate a `rippled` server on a version older than 1.4.0, then your server is now amendment blocked, meaning that your server:

* Cannot determine the validity of a ledger
* Cannot submit or process transactions
* Does not participate in the consensus process
* Does not vote on future amendments
* Could rely on potentially invalid data
