Release of BlueZ 5.31
It’s been well over two months since the last BlueZ release, so we’re quite overdue for another one. BlueZ 5.31 contains fixes to many different areas, including networking, GATT, HID, A2DP and AVRCP. Feature-wise we’ve got support for security flags for the GATT database, allowing fine-grained security level control for D-Bus clients using the GATT D-Bus API. We’ve also got a new experimental device discovery filter interface which allows filtering for a specific remote service, RSSI threshold or transport (LE vs. BR/EDR). Another new experimental interface is for LE advertising, which also brings the LE peripheral role closer to feature completion on a D-Bus level.
On the Android side, all PTS documents have been updated to cover the latest PTS 6.1 version.
