Hardware Wallet Interface (HWI) v3.0.0 Released

The Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Interface is a Python library and command line tool for interacting with hardware wallets. It provides a standard way for software to work with hardware wallets without needing to implement device specific drivers.

No Bullshit Bitcoin is funded by our community.

"HWI 3.0.0 is now available at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/releases/tag/3.0 and on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/hwi/3.0.0/," announced Ava Chow.

"This is a major release due to a backwards incompatible change. Emulators will no longer be enumerated or autodetected unless the --emulators option is provided."

What's new

--emulators option to enumerate and detect emulators. Otherwise default behavior is changed to ignore all emulators.
Rebuilt to attempt to avoid antivirus false positive.
