We're happy to announce that the public beta for version 2.1.0 is available now on Github:

Passport v2.1.0 Firmware (Beta 6)

NOTE: This is a Beta version of Passport firmware. You must install the beta pubkey (attached in GitHub) using the Settings -> Advanced -> Developer PubKey menu item before you can install this beta. If you are not comfortable with this, please wait for the official release, which should be available shortly. Detailed instructions for this process can be found here.

In version 2.1.0, we’ve leveraged all of the background work in recent versions to build out some amazing new features for you, including back-porting v2.1.0 firmware to Founder’s Edition, sending to Taproot addresses, a Key Manager Extension for BIP-85 and Nostr key support and export, and BIP 85 SeedQR exports.

It would be especially valuable to get detailed feedback from anyone willing to help out on the new features and on the general firmware for Founder's Edition as this is a huge jump, bringing parity to our original device.

For the full change log you can visit Github.

Please test it out (if you're comfortable with a beta release) and report back with any issues, feedback, or suggestions you have! The official release should go live in about 1wk, pending any issues that are discovered in the public beta testing.

This is exciting news! In my original review of Passport FE, I mentioned it was important for me that the device would keep getting updates for years to come. Great to see that it's finally happening - I was almost getting worried.. ;-)

GitHub has no repository for the new firmware, which makes me hope they run the same one; thus reducing codebase to maintain + elongating FE update support.

However, it seems to take longer than expected to back-port Passport v2 features to FE? Or did it only take this long to get them feature-parity in the first place, but they'll be in sync from now on?

I'm referring to...

Note that there might be an initial delay of a few weeks in releasing the first FE version of this new code, but after that my intention is that new firmware versions for the two devices get released simultaneously.
