MWEB is optional
MWEB is optional for getblocktemplate as of v2.1.0. Mining pools that do not have MWEB compatibility can mine Ferrite, however no MWEB transactions will be validated and MWEB fees will not be collected.
MWEB will be currently optional since most miners mining Ferrite are currently not fully compatible with MWEB, which is a relatively new Litecoin feature.
Before, getblocktemplate on v2.0.0 must be called with the MWEB rule
getblocktemplate '{"rules": ["mweb", "segwit"]}'
Now, pools that are not compatible with MWEB can also validate blocks without MWEB transactions using
getblocktemplate '{"rules": ["segwit"]}'
For the near future, MWEB will be activated no earlier than 2024 to allow time for mining pools to gradually update for MWEB support.
Future changes
Checkpoint just after MWEB activation, new nodes.
MWEB fixes
Checkpoints for block 200,000 and 250,000 (important).
Small fixes if necessary.
MacOS compatibility issues when necessary.
Bitcoin 24.0 updates
Included in this release is a stratum-pool miner based on CCMiner v2.3.1 by @tpruvot with new pool configurations.
ASIC mining is recommended. You can opt to rent an Scrypt ASIC.
Everyone is invited to pull ferrite-core or join the Telegram group to suggest feature updates/chain parameters.

Other notes
All versions of Ferrite Core wallets will maintain backwards compatibility
At height 250,000 all Ferrite will be split into 1 Ferrite (FEC) and 1 Ferrite Classic (FECC). v1.x.x and v2.x.x will only be able to spend the FECC portion, while v3+ will only be able to spend the FEC portion.
Do not be alarmed if coins sent through v1.x.x and v2.x.x (Ferrite Classic) do not appear in your v3+ (Ferrite) balance - your Ferrite balance is unchanged.
Coins sent to Ferrite Classic through Ferrite will not show up, but are not lost. Ferrite Classic users need to copy their wallet to a v3+ Ferrite Core client to be able to access the coins.
One can attempt to run both Ferrite Classic and Ferrite after Ferrite Classic is launched. Ferrite Classic may encounter hashrate instability.
