Mycelium Wallet (Android) 2.3 is out. Trezor support, and lots of new HD features!

Mycelium Wallet 2.3 is out of beta (still requires Android OS vs 4 or above). It includes the following new features and changes:

* Trezor support (cold-spending and Trezor-based accounts), from the Cold Storage spending menu.
*  You can now require a PIN to open the wallet (we had many requests for this)
* Support for Cold Storage spending from masterseed keys
* Support for importing xPriv/xPub keys
* Scanning xPub keys for receiving and balance check
* Paper wallet cold-spending now supports xPriv keys
* Number of confirmations is now shown in transaction details (we had requests to make this info some how available again)
* Updated translations (Thanks to all our translators!)

Neat thing about Masterseed Cold Storage spending (such as ones created by our Mycelium Entropy) is that it asks you for an optional password, and each password creates a completely different chain of keys. So you have have 0BTC in plain xPriv key, $1 worth in a generic password chain, and your actual money in a more secure password version, for plausible deniability, and just carry a copy of this key in your pocket for spending on the go, without having the key in your wallet.

As mentioned, Trezor support is accessible from Cold Storage option in the pop-up menu. Ledger support is in development now too. Next up will be adding some more privacy features, among other things.
