Intersect, a member-based organization in the Cardano ecosystem, shared recent upgrade status regarding the Van Rossem hard fork in a new tweet.
Intersect noted that momentum for the Van Rossem hard fork within the era continues across nodes, infrastructure, and ecosystem adjustments, with the preview now moving into its first live governance-driven activation stage.
The highlight of the report is the Node 11 release with a forked preview environment on May 8th. Intersect said Node v11.0.1 is fully released and ready for the mainnet hard fork.

This notice is necessitated by the confirmation that node v10.7.1 is unable to advance beyond the hard fork boundary of protocol version 11.0. This means that your ecosystem infrastructure must be upgraded to v11.0.1 to continue working after the fork. Intersect says the differences between v10.7.1 and v11.0.1 are minor and do not significantly impact ongoing integration efforts.
Cardano Node version 11.0.1, a mandatory requirement for safely passing through the hard fork, was released in pre-release in early May before being fully released now.
The Plutus Cost Model Protocol Parameter Update Governance Action has also been submitted to PreProd and is targeted for ratification on May 16th, meaning it is aiming for enactment on May 21st.
