bluez-utils (4.40-1) unstable; urgency=low This version includes a new hid2hci program which expects the vendor ID and product ID of the device to be switched to HID/HCI mode, this means the switching is no longer done in init script but via udev rules for supported devices. Adding new devices can be done by dropping rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/ similar to ones found in /lib/udev/rules.d/62-bluez-hid2hci.rules or by manually running hid2hci, see hid2hci(8) manpage for further information. This version also ships a simple commandline agent (bluetooth-agent) to do pairing on the command line -- Filippo Giunchedi Fri, 22 May 2009 15:21:35 +0200 bluez-utils (3.36-3) unstable; urgency=low This version includes an new d-bus policy with updated access control. As a result of this, only users of netdev group or which are in front of the computer (i.e. match the at_console="true" rule) are able to communicate with hcid via dbus. See also #510644. -- Filippo Giunchedi Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:35:38 +0100 bluez-utils (3.30-2) unstable; urgency=low This upstream version switches the service infrastructure from external processes to shared objects. Services (i.e. audio) are started automatically and do not require a .service file in /etc/bluetooth/. audio.service will be removed automatically by the upgrade unless modified. -- Filippo Giunchedi Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:34:21 +0200 bluez-utils (3.7-1) unstable; urgency=low This version reverts the /etc/bluetooth/passkeys infrastructure as agents for passkeys are not supposed to be system-wide. A bluez-passkey-gnome is provided as a passkey agent, plus there's a example passkey-agent in /usr/share/doc/bluez-utils/examples/passkey-agent.c -- Filippo Giunchedi Sat, 7 Oct 2006 11:43:09 +0200 bluez-utils (3.1-3) unstable; urgency=low This version includes a new management for outgoing passkey (PIN) requests while the incoming passkeys defaults to 1234 in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf. See README.Debian for further informations. -- Filippo Giunchedi Wed, 26 Jul 2006 11:37:14 +0200 bluez-utils (3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low This new upstream version removes the need for external pin helper, pin requests are handled via dbus. The default pin (or now-called "passkey") is set to 1234 for backward compatibility. Also, udev rules for pcmcia card are included along with /lib/udev/bluetooth.sh (setserial required) in the bluez-pcmcia-support. -- Filippo Giunchedi Wed, 26 Jul 2006 11:37:02 +0200 bluez-utils (2.24-1) unstable; urgency=low This version moves /etc/{init.d,default}/bluez-utils to /etc/{init.d,default}/bluetooth for LSB compilance. If local modifications are detected the new files will be installed with the ".dpkg-new" suffix -- Filippo Giunchedi Wed, 7 Jun 2006 13:57:35 +0200 bluez-utils (2.19-1) unstable; urgency=high * Includes new D-BUS support: sends signals for inquiry results and remote name resolves. * Also adds support for device-specific SDP records. -- Edd Dumbill Fri, 19 Aug 2005 01:12:02 +0100 bluez-utils (2.9-1) unstable; urgency=low * This release improves input device support: EPoX keyboards and their new HID presenters should now work correctly in report protocol mode. -- Edd Dumbill Sun, 8 Aug 2004 15:19:24 +0100 bluez-utils (2.8-1) unstable; urgency=low * Users of dongles with HID proxy capability (this is where the dongle pretends to be a keyboard and mouse until it is switched into Bluetooth mode, allowing Bluetooth input devices to be used in BIOS etc.) are now supported. The switch is made as part of the bluez-utils init script. -- Edd Dumbill Mon, 14 Jun 2004 14:24:12 +0100 bluez-utils (2.7-1) experimental; urgency=low * Upstream has merged bluez-pan with this package. You should remove the /etc/init.d/bluez-pan script, and use /etc/default/bluez-utils to configure dund and pand, although for the moment the old /etc/default/bluez-pan is also read. * This source package now has Bluetooth printing support, which is built into the bluez-cups binary package. * DBUS support has been enabled in this build. To use it, add 'dbus_pin_helper' into the options section, and comment out the pin_helper. DBUS-aware pin helpers such as that in bluez-pin will now be used. * Bluetooth HID devices (eg, mouse, keyboard) are now supported for Linux 2.6.6 or better running the hidp patch from bluez.org. If running these, set HIDD_ENABLED to 1 in /etc/default/bluez-utils to enable support, then run hidd --connect to connect to your keyboard or mouse. -- Edd Dumbill Wed, 26 May 2004 12:43:08 +0100 bluez-utils (2.6-1) experimental; urgency=low * Upstream has merged bluez-sdp with this package. The sdp tools are now in this package. You should remove the /etc/init.d/bluez-sdp script. * All tools from /sbin now live in /usr/sbin: hciattach hciconfig hcid l2ping. -- Edd Dumbill Thu, 6 May 2004 11:58:16 +0100 bluez-utils (2.4-4) unstable; urgency=high * If you still use the old 'bluepin' PIN assistant: note it has moved from /bin/ to /usr/bin/. You will need to update your hcid.conf accordingly. Even better, install bluez-pin and use the helper from there instead. * hcitool has also moved to /usr/bin, and l2ping to /sbin. -- Edd Dumbill Wed, 15 Jan 2004 18:37:32 +0000 bluez-utils (2.4-3) unstable; urgency=low * If you're using devfsd and a recent Linux kernel (2.4.22 or later, or 2.6.x), remove the file /etc/devfs/devices.d/bluez and run update-devfsd. This will stop your system complaining when devfsd is started. This package no longer installs that file, but you must remove it yourself. If you need it in future, you can find it in /usr/share/doc/bluez-utils. -- Edd Dumbill Wed, 14 Jan 2004 21:14:35 +0000 bluez-utils (2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low * The rfcomm program has changed slightly: you now need a "bind yes" in each entry in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf to ensure they are bound at startup time. See man rfcomm for more details. -- Edd Dumbill Thu, 1 Jan 2004 18:38:35 +0100 bluez-utils (2.3-2) unstable; urgency=low * This package now depends on a new PIN helper bluez-pin. If you are upgrading this package and want to use the new helper instead of the default one (highly recommended) then alter your pin_helper line in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf to specify /usr/bin/bluez-pin. -- Edd Dumbill Thu, 28 Aug 2003 12:38:35 +0100
