BlueZ

Unfortunately we had to do a one-hundred-and-one release.

And here is the magic one-hundred release …

bluez-4.100.tar.gz

This release fixes a few bugs and adds support for a new and improved client transfer API.

Yesterday Google released the accepted students for this year’s Google Summer of Code and BlueZ will be participating with 4 students:

Project: Bluetooth Replayer

Mentor: Vinicius Gomes

Project: Implement AVRCP 1.3 Controller Role

It is now community bonding time, where students get know their mentors and the community. We wish a great summer to all students.  :-)

BlueZ was accepted to take part in GSoC 2012, if you don’t know what GSoC is, please go  to its page and learn about.

We have already published our list of ideas, so if you are a student  take a look there and check what might interest you. Then you can talk to one of our mentors to learn more about and work on a GSoC proposal. You can get more information about BlueZ on GsoChere. Our contact info is on the same page.

We hope to have a great summer in this year’s Google Summer of Code.

This release fixes a few minor bugs in various places. In addition it uses the version 1.0 of the management interface now.

bluez-4.99.tar.gz

This release fixes a few bugs with abort and application parameter handling. It also add support for OBEX over L2CAP.

UPDATE: Unfortunately this release requires not yet released BlueZ 4.99 to build. The bluetooth.h header from upstream BlueZ is needed to build this. We are going to fix this as quickly as possible. Just hold on to obexd 0.44 for a while.
