. 7 new language options

Support for larger displays means on-screen text is easier to read and makes more efficient outgoing QR communication possible. The new display hat shown below incorporates one of these larger screens.
Seven new languages -- French, Chinese, Catalan, Dutch, German, Italian and Japanese -- mean many more people can now interact with a SeedSigner in their native tongue. The map below gives an approximation of what our updated language coverage looks like.
More languages are coming soon, including right-to-left languages (e.g. Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, etc.) that will add significant additional global coverage. If there is a language you would like to see in an upcoming release, there are relevant instructions in our release notes.
As usual, you don't have to take our word on what makes up the release binaries; our releases are reproducible and instructions to build your own binaries can be found at:

SeedSigner continues to be the work of a core group of volunteer contributors, as well as a growing collection of auxiliary technical contributors who engage with the project when their time/interests/skills align.
If you are getting value from the SeedSigner project, please take a moment to send some sats to our core technical contributors -- all tips, small and large, are **greatly** appreciated and go a long way to incentivize continued development:

Our project embodies what volunteer, collaborative, low time preference, open source, bitcoin-only, building "out in the open" looks like.
We continue to improve on our core concept of trust-minimized, self-sovereign cold storage out of love for bitcoin, & our fellow bitcoiners.
