Changes in v3.2.0

Security Updates

Bitcoin Core v24.x fix Vulnerability CVE-2023-33297

Bitcoin Core before 24.1, when debug mode is not used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (e.g., CPU consumption) because draining the inventory-to-send queue is inefficient, as exploited in the wild in May 2023

New MWEB Features

LIP006 from Litecoin 0.21.3 which adds MWEB light client p2p messages.
BIP157/158 blockfilters enabled by default if new NODE_MWEB_LIGHT_CLIENT service flag is enabled.

Miscellaneous

New context menu for rebroadcasting unconfirmed transactions
Added checkpoint at height 200000
Added release notes until v3.1.4
Version and copyright year increment
Included link to the new Ferrite Wallet for Android

For more details see #62

Future changes

MWEB updates
v4.0.0a FEXT Ferrite Core implementation
Checkpoints for block 250,000 (important).
Bitcoin 24.x updates

Mining

List of pools and settings
Ferrite runs on Scrypt algorithm -compatible with Litecoin/Dogecoin miners
Scrypt is not an ASIC-resistant algorithm.
Scrypt ASIC mining is recommended. You can opt to rent an Scrypt ASIC.

Other notes (on v1, v2 wallets before 13 Apr 2022).

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.
