Release of BlueZ 5.37
28th December 2015, 09:15 am by Johan Hedberg

Here’s the traditional X-mas/end-of-year release of BlueZ. Most of the
changes are bug fixes, targeting areas such as GATT and external profile
registration. Another large chunk of changes is refactoring to use the
same implementation for Android and non-Android LE profiles (e.g. HoG).
With this release btattach (the successor to hciattach) finally has a
manual page and will get installed by default. There’s also a new
feature that will become available together with the Linux kernel 4.5
version: support for a new logging channel which lets btmon interleave
HCI and bluetoothd logs into the same output. For those wanting to
experiment with this feature already now, you can find it e.g. in the
bluetooth-next kernel tree. One minor but noteworthy change is that the
default IO capability of agents (used for pairing) has changed from
“DisplayYesNo” to “KeyboardDisplay”. This is an LE-specific capability
which makes more sense on most systems than “DisplayYesNo”. On BR/EDR
connections “KeyboardDisplay” gets automatically translated to
“DisplayYesNo” (so no change in behavior there).
