Foundation Passport Firmware v2.2.0 and Envoy v1.5.0 Released
"With this version of Passport’s firmware we’ve added the ability to seamlessly switch back and forth between signing via QR and microSD, added the ability to restore from SeedQR, improved the user interface on Founder’s Edition, and added many quality of life improvements across the board."
- "We’re excited to announce that the latest version of Passport firmware – 2.2.0 – is now live! To download it, simply initiate the update from Envoy to be guided through the process."
"With the number of new features we included in 2.1.x, we took this release to focus on refining our unified firmware between Founder’s Edition and Batch 2, as well as paving the way for full Taproot support in 2.3.0."
- Passport's companion app, Envoy v1.5.0 is also out of beta today. It comes with full Taproot support, Spanish translation and other quality of life improvements and fixes.
What's new
- Automatically detect when a transaction being signed via QR is very large and prompt the user with the option to sign via microSD instead.

[rust-bitcoin](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin), a requirement for full Taproot receive support in a future update. - We now create directories automatically on the microSD card as needed for storing partially-signed Bitcoin transactions (PSBTs), multisig configs, wallet configs, health checks, and Key manager.
