WHAT’S CHANGED
With this version of Passport’s firmware we’ve added connections to Theya, Zeus, and Coinbits, updated dependencies, and made reproducible builds more resilient to upstream changes.

NEW FEATURES
- Added Theya integration to Passport’s wallet connection options.
- Passport users can now use their Passport directly in Theya’s fantastic new multisig service!
