I wasn't even aware stratum updates were required until about 20 minutes ago. I am asking my developer to merge the changes now.
However, I still think this is stupid and should be done in the wallet code.
Great, thanks for looking into it!
I agree that this could have been communicated in a more transparent way. And I see that stuff like this is a huge pain for pools using custom stratum solutions
(i.e. multipools).
