1.8.5

What's changed

Envoy 1.8.5 is a small bug fix release.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a rare issue where some iOS users weren't able to see or select any fiat currencies after enabling the fiat toggle

• Fixed an issue where some iOS users might get stuck in the splash screen after a very specific set of steps were performed

1.8.4

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a problem affecting some users related to not being able to send to legacy address types

1.8.3

What's changed

In Envoy v1.8.3, we’ve continued our focus on refining the Envoy experience you know and love, expanding the Buy bitcoin feature to all 50 US states as well as bolstering the stability of our Tor connection and polishing the UI. Unfortunately, due to regulatory reasons beyond our control, we have temporarily removed all buy features for users of the iOS app in the UK and India. Some aspects of this functionality will be reinstated in an upcoming release.

New

• Ramp can now be used to purchase Bitcoin in all 50 US states! Including some of the most legally challenging ones like New York, Louisiana and Hawaii!

Improvements

• BIG tor connection stability and reliability improvement! Added .onion endpoint to Fulcrum instance to improve Tor connection reliability

• TONS of visual improvements across the board

• Buy Bitcoin account display will now match the order of accounts used in the main Accounts view, and the animation is much slicker!

• Implemented our own back end for Signet so we no longer depend on Mutinynet

• Signet and Testnet transactions can now be explored in Foundation's mempool directly from the Transaction details

  • To access this button, from any transaction details tap the TXID to expand it, you will see the option appear on the left, like with Mainnet

• When recovering from a backup, the Activity tab will now also load transactions that happened after the date the backup was created

• If an already paired passport is scanned from the New Passport Setup connection flow, Envoy will now recognize that and continue through the Existing Passport Setup flow instead of erring out

• Improved error logging for RBF related issues

• Improved log pruning to avoid freezes when exporting logs

• Updated Flutter to version 3.24.0

• Updated Arti to 1.2.7

• Updated some dependencies with minor vulnerabilities

• Scanning uppercase bitcoin addresses will now display them in lowercase in the "To:" section

• The Activity tab and the account details will now display transactions ordered by the time transactions were broadcast rather than by the moment they confirmed

• Improved logging for our validation server connection

• Improved Portuguese and Catalan translations

• Updated our Fulcrum servers to 1.11.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an instance where some RBF transactions could remain in your activity view as 'Awaiting Confirmation' even after the boosted transaction confirmed on-chain

• Fixed a bug where deleting a wallet wouldn't properly delete it on iOS under certain circumstances

• Fixed an issue where sometimes the "insufficient funds" alert would show up in Signet even if there were enough coins selected in the wallet

• Fixed an issue where sometimes the amount to send when boosting a transaction would be incorrectly displayed

• Boosted and Canceled transactions will be displayed as such when recovering from a backup moving forward. Up until now, they would show as "Sent" in the Activity tab and in the Account details after a magic recovery happened.

• Fixed a bug where the Account Activity view and the Activity tab could at times show different information regarding the confirmation of a transaction

• Fixed an issue where some entries could be duplicated in Activity

• Fixed an instance where using Android's native back gesture could be interpreted as a double-back gesture and take the user back two menus instead of one

• Fixed a bug where some BTCPay BIP21 invoices were interpreted as BTCPay vouchers by Envoy

• Fixed a minor bug where the number pad was usable after confirming a transaction, while the transaction was being built

• Fixed a minor visual bug where sometimes if the transaction failed the animation wouldn't load properly

1.6.2

What's changed

In Envoy v1.6.2 we've focused heavily on improving the user experience for those of you running larger text or display sizes, fixed a bug around transaction cancellation using RBF, and migrated to our new domain, Foundation.xyz.

For more details on each of the changes, keep reading below!

Improvements

Envoy now has drastically improved handling of varying display or text sizes, especially abnormally large display/text sizes.

As Envoy has gained more users, we've noticed an issue where those of you using larger display or text sizes can have issues with buttons being unable to be accessed, especially when setting up Envoy for the first time.

We've gone through Envoy with a fine-toothed comb to better handle when users have set their OS to use larger display or text sizes and respond appropriately.

Envoy now uses our new Foundation.xyz domain for all services.

Older version of Envoy will now automatically use redirects from foundationdevices.com -> Foundation.xyz.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a minor text alignment issue introduced in 1.6.0.

Fixed a minor text issue in the onboarding flow.

Fixed an issue where the fee could be incorrectly calculated for Canceling transactions when sending to a Taproot address, causing some cancellation transactions to fail.

1.6.0

What's changed

We’ve focused Envoy 1.6.0 on a vital new feature for Bitcoin’s volatile fee market — replace-by-fee (otherwise known as “RBF”). RBF allows you to easily boost the fee on a transaction you’ve sent that’s stuck surfing the mempool, or even cancel an in-flight transaction and send it back to yourself. Just tap on any transaction that is unconfirmed and quickly Boost or Cancel it in Envoy.

We’ve also brought a complete redesign of address and amount displays to Envoy, making it drastically easier and more intuitive to view amounts (in sats or BTC, as always!) or verify addresses. A special thanks to the fantastic Bitcoin Design initiative for spearheading the concept here! Oh, and don’t sleep on custom device names for Passports paired to Envoy, and the new Catalan translation 👀

For more details on each of the changes, keep reading below!

New Features

• Full “replace-by-fee (RBF)” control is here!
  • If you’ve ever sent some Bitcoin only to have them get stuck in the mempool due to a crazy fee market, this one is for you!
  • Now you can simply tap “⏩ Boost” when viewing a pending transaction’s details to get your transaction back to the top of the queue.
  • Sent a transaction but realized it was a mistake? You can also tap “Cancel” and send the funds back to yourself using RBF as well 😌

• When you set a custom name for your Passport, now that name will show up automatically in the Devices tab on Envoy.
  • Have multiple Passports in the house? Now you can easily tell them apart in Envoy using custom names!
  • Any name on Passport will now automatically be synced to Envoy when pairing for the first time.
    • Note that existing Passport names won’t be updated unless they are deleted first, but we’ll be improving that in Envoy v1.7.0!
• Envoy translated to Catalan thanks to our friends over at @bcnbitcoinonly! Special thanks to @insatwetrust, in particular!!

Improvements

• Drastically improved address and amount display per the Bitcoin Design standards. Sexy and intuitive.

• Improved Tor performance on iOS (and some Android vendors), especially when it comes to getting fiat exchange rates.
• Improved testnet reliability via new testnet Fulcrum infrastructure.
• Available balance now shows fiat value in addition to Bitcoin, if fiat is enabled.
• Improved the way fiat is displayed in the Transaction Details screen.
• Updated OpenSSL libraries and removed some unnecessary dependencies.
• Updated Arti (the Rust-native Tor library) in our library to the latest version, v1.1.12.
• Improved tap targets across the board to make it that much easier to get to what you want in Envoy.
• Tapping on the Accounts tab when inside an account will take you back to the main Accounts view.
• When Fiat values are loading they will now display a loading bar instead of a 0.
• We’ve taken a fine-toothed comb to the UI in Envoy and made a number of improvements across the board. Better UI, better UX, better Bitcoin experience.
• Improved Spanish translations.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Envoy would slow down if a custom Electrum server was unreachable for a long period of time.
• Fixed a rare bug where sometimes the change address would be displayed as the destination address.
• Fixed a bug where in some iOS instances selecting Custom fee would result in a crash.
  • Thank you @Fredodido56 for the report!
• Fixed a bug where the German locale could randomly show commas and dots while typing a number in.
  • Kudos to Mike from our TG community for the report!
• Fixed an issue where iPhone 8 users wouldn’t be able to tag coins.
• Fixed an issue with displaying a 24-word seed when manually imported.
• Fixed some minor issues where under certain circumstances fiat values wouldn’t display correctly.
• Fixed a visual bug where after deleting a hot wallet and the backup, the Accounts view’s title would be displayed incorrectly.
• Fixed some text strings wrapping when they shouldn’t have.
• Fixed a minor bug where sometimes the user would be asked twice about adding a Note to a transaction when signing with Passport.
• Fixed a minor bug where the small coin exclusion alert was triggered when it shouldn’t have been.
• Fixed a minor issue where under specific circumstances a user was able to add an infinitely long tag name that broke the UI.
• Fixed an edge case where the user would be able to attempt to build a transaction with negative fees.
• Fixed an issue where Envoy could freeze if a user attempted to export an abnormal amount of logs.
  • As always, we take your privacy seriously! Envoy does not send logs to Foundation (and has no ability to do so), so this only applies to users who manually tried to export logs to share with us for a bug report.
• Fixed an issue where Envoy could freeze if the change amount was too big when setting a custom fee.

Improvements

• Drastically improved address and amount display per the Bitcoin Design standards. Sexy and intuitive.

• Improved Tor performance on iOS (and some Android vendors), especially when it comes to getting fiat exchange rates.
• Improved testnet reliability via new testnet Fulcrum infrastructure.
• Available balance now shows fiat value in addition to Bitcoin, if fiat is enabled.
• Improved the way fiat is displayed in the Transaction Details screen.
• Updated OpenSSL libraries and removed some unnecessary dependencies.
• Updated Arti (the Rust-native Tor library) in our library to the latest version, v1.1.12.
• Improved tap targets across the board to make it that much easier to get to what you want in Envoy.
• Tapping on the Accounts tab when inside an account will take you back to the main Accounts view.
• When Fiat values are loading they will now display a loading bar instead of a 0.
• We’ve taken a fine-toothed comb to the UI in Envoy and made a number of improvements across the board. Better UI, better UX, better Bitcoin experience.
• Improved Spanish translations.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Envoy would slow down if a custom Electrum server was unreachable for a long period of time.
• Fixed a rare bug where sometimes the change address would be displayed as the destination address.
• Fixed a bug where in some iOS instances selecting Custom fee would result in a crash.
  • Thank you @Fredodido56 for the report!
• Fixed a bug where the German locale could randomly show commas and dots while typing a number in.
  • Kudos to Mike from our TG community for the report!
• Fixed an issue where iPhone 8 users wouldn’t be able to tag coins.
• Fixed an issue with displaying a 24-word seed when manually imported.
• Fixed some minor issues where under certain circumstances fiat values wouldn’t display correctly.
• Fixed a visual bug where after deleting a hot wallet and the backup, the Accounts view’s title would be displayed incorrectly.
• Fixed some text strings wrapping when they shouldn’t have.
• Fixed a minor bug where sometimes the user would be asked twice about adding a Note to a transaction when signing with Passport.
• Fixed a minor bug where the small coin exclusion alert was triggered when it shouldn’t have been.
• Fixed a minor issue where under specific circumstances a user was able to add an infinitely long tag name that broke the UI.
• Fixed an edge case where the user would be able to attempt to build a transaction with negative fees.
• Fixed an issue where Envoy could freeze if a user attempted to export an abnormal amount of logs.
  • As always, we take your privacy seriously! Envoy does not send logs to Foundation (and has no ability to do so), so this only applies to users who manually tried to export logs to share with us for a bug report.
• Fixed an issue where Envoy could freeze if the change amount was too big when setting a custom fee.
