Full show notes https://bitcoin.review/podcast/2022/07/27/Episode-03.html
I Scratched my own itch with Episode 01, so this will keep going as my best efforts place to talk about Bitcoin Project software updates and some other commentary that I find interesting or noteworthy to me. I also would like to invite you to send Bitcoin related questions, just go to bitcoin.review and click submit story at the top right.
This week for Episode 3, our guests Justin Moon and Matt Odell return to help me read the list.
I should mention the overwhelming feedback is that we have failed at being boring, so we should try to do better.

BDK 0.20.0 https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v0.20.0
Highlights for this release include bug fixes for the ElectrumBlockchain and descriptor templates, new transactions building feature to discourage fee sniping, and new transaction signing options.
COLDCARD Mk4 5.0.5 - July 20, 2022
BIP-85 derived passwords. Pick an index number, and COLDCARD will derive a deterministic, strong (136 bit) password for you. It will even type the password by emulating a USB keyboard. See new areas: Settings > Keyboard EMU and Settings > Derive Seed B85 > Passwords.
Enhancement: BIP-85 derived values can now be exported via NFC, in addition to QR code.
Enhancement: Allow signing transaction where foreign UTXO(s) are missing. Only applies to cases where partial signatures are being created. Thanks to @straylight-orbit
Enhancement: QR Codes are now easier to scan in bright light. Thanks to @russeree for this useful fix!
Enhancement: Support import of multisig wallet from descriptor (only sortedmulti, BIP-67). Also support export of multsig wallet as descriptor.
Enhancement: OP_RETURN is now a known script and is displayed in ascii when possible
Bugfix: allow unknown scripts in HSM mode, with warning.
