Blockstream Jade Firmware v1.0.31: Auto Green 'Multisig Shield' PSBT Validation, CLI Tool & More
"Jade 1.0.31 is here, bringing a host of improvements that make it more powerful, secure, and user-friendly," announced the project.
- A key feature in this release is automatic validation of change outputs for Blockstream Green Wallet's 'Multisig Shield' PSBTs, ensuring accurate Bitcoin allocation during reorganizations or UTXO consolidation. Jade now alerts users if a PSBT or transaction doesn't need a signature, keeping you informed and in control.
- User experience improvements include the ability to abandon PIN entry from the first digit, enhancing usability. Additionally, Jade now supports 180-degree screen rotation for greater flexibility in DIY hardware configurations. Jade’s Home and Camera/QRScan screens have been redesigned for improved navigation and readability, ensuring intuitive and efficient operations.
"Developers and tinkerers will appreciate the new command-line interface tool for simple interaction and testing, along with experimental support for esp32s3 devices like the ttgo-tdisplayS3. These additions expand Jade’s versatility, making it even more adaptable to various needs and setups," said the project.
- Fixes in this update include improved UI scaling on larger DIY displays, better change output handling in registered descriptor policies, and accurate display of confidential Liquid Network Taproot addresses during signing.
- Updates to the ESP-IDF base firmware and a switch to the esp_lcd graphics library further improve the device's performance and stability.
- As for security improvements, Jade now locks only when an active serial or BLE connection is lost, thus preventing disruptions during charging.
