BlueZ

This release is way overdue, apologies for that. We will try to get back to a more normal release cadence from now on. There are too many fixes to cover them in the release announcement, but feature-wise the two notable things are improved Bluetooth Mesh support as well as support for the GATT Database Hash [...]

This release contains several fixes to GATT and Mesh support. Some notable new features include a ‘node-reset’ command to meshctl, a new btmon-logger daemon to perform logging on unattended systems, and a new general discoverable property in the ... [More] advertising D-Bus API. This release also contains numerous build fixes for GCC 8, making it fully buildable [...] [Less]

This is mostly a bug fix release, with fixes to features such as AVCTP, OBEX, GATT and Mesh. There are however some notable new features also, such as improved heartbeat management support in meshctl as well as a new experimental ConnectDevice D-Bus method on the Adapter interface, which can be used for quick device object [...]

This is a long due release which brings many fixes and feature enhancements. Some notable enhancements include support for devices with the BLE battery service, as well as improved Mesh support in the meshctl tool. Several previously experimental D-Bus APIs have now been marked as stable, notably the Advertising Manager API as well as the [...]

This release contains various fixes to GATT, A2DP and BR/EDR vs LE bearer handling. There’s also a notable SDP fix for CVE-2017-1000250 (part of the recently announced BlueBorne vulnerabilities). Feature-wise, there’s now support for adding the ... [More] appearance and local name to advertising data through the Advertising D-Bus interface. The btmon tool is now also able to [...] [Less]

This release contains several improvements to GATT support. In particular, there are new D-Bus methods which let an application get a dedicated file descriptor to read/write data from/to a GATT characteristic. There are also fixes in some other areas, such as OBEX and SDP. The release fixes also compiler warnings/errors that show up with GCC [...]

This is mostly a bugfix release with fixes in ATT, GATT, OBEX and AVDTP. Feature-wise there are some new things as well, such as btmon support decoding Bluetooth 5.0 HCI commands and events. bluez-5.45.tar.xz

It’s been awhile since the last BlueZ release, but now we finally have another one out. Most of the fixes are LE (specifically GATT) related, however a some other areas are affected as well. Feature-wise, there’s a new MIDI plugin and support for using single-mode (LE-only) controllers that lack a public address (therefore necessitating the [...]

This is almost purely a bug-fix release with fixes to HoG, ATT and PAN. There’s also a fix for a regression in 5.42 that caused connection failures for external profiles like OBEX. Feature-wise there’s one notable addition: LE privacy. By enabling this in main.conf it’s now possible to make BlueZ generate a local Identity Resolving [...]

The major API change with this release is that the GATT D-Bus API is no longer marked as experimental.This should hopefully encourage the creation of more applications using it. Feature-wise, btmon received support for decoding full mgmt message traces – a feature that is available in the bluetooth-next kernel tree, i.e. on its way to [...]
