Release of BlueZ 5.16
Here’s 5.16. For the most part it’s a bug fix release with a couple of regressions fixed regarding the “Paired” property that had crept into 5.15. People using 5.15 are strongly recommended to upgrade because of these fixes. There is also a fix for HID over GATT (LE) device creation.
As far as new non-Android features are concerned this release supports the New Signature Resolving Key mgmt event which will make its debut in the 3.15 kernel release.
On the Android side by far the biggest feature addition is full support for A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP 1.5. Several other profiles, such as HFP and GATT have continued receiving a fair amount of patches as well, but they are not considered complete yet.
