Headline news: prettier UI for the OBEX file sharing, and a couple of
changes needed to support the upcoming Phone Manager release.
gnome-bluetooth is a suite of tools for managing Bluetooth devices and
sending/receiving data under the GNOME desktop.
libbtctl is a GObject-based library for the Bluetooth and OBEX
operations on Linux. It comes with Python and Mono language bindings.
These releases are development releases, and should be considered
unstable. They incorporate a large amount rewriting of underlying
libraries for improved reliability and API usability. Little extra
functionality is offered over the previous release.
