Cardano's history with upgrades has been notably positive, creating significant anticipation around the upcoming Chang hard fork. In 2021, a previous major upgrade saw the ADA price surge by 130% within a month. As a matter of fact, ADA is up 0.8% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.37.
According to the GitHub documentation, this release includes all the changes necessary for the Conway ledger era, featuring on-chain governance via CIP-1694.

The updated node will bridge hard fork boundaries on both the mainnet and long-running testnets, such as Preprod. It allows for the bootstrap phase of CIP-1694 in production environments, but does not enable DRep voting and all governance actions. Version 9.0 also lacks a valid Conway-era Genesis file needed to cross the Chang hard fork, which will be provided later, requiring a minor configuration update.
