Extensive testing is crucial to ensure system robustness for the upcoming transition to the Conway era. The Lace team is preparing for the release of Lace v.1.14, expected within weeks. Additionally, with the release of Cardano node v.9.0.0, node users are alerted to upgrade in preparation for the Chang upgrade, requiring a small configuration update to version 9.1.0. A hard fork combinator event will occur once 75% of SPOs upgrade to version 9.1.0.
