Hi Folks,

I don't wanna make big words about it, but after 8 months there are new
releases of the BlueZ libs and utils packages. So let the changelogs
speak for themselfs:

BlueZ libs 2.5:
        Add decoding of Bluetooth 1.2 features.
        Add link manager version parameter for Bluetooth 1.2.
        Add new company identifiers.
        Support for transmit power level.
        Support for park, sniff and hold mode.
        Support for role switch.
        Support for reading the clock offset.
        Use R1 for default value of pscan_rep_mode.

BlueZ utils 2.4:
        hcitool changes:
                Increase number of inquiry responses.
                Support for transmit power level.
                Minor updates.
        hciconfig changes:
                Display all 8 bytes of the features.
                Add support for reading and writing of IAC.
                Correct decoding class of device.
                Use Ericsson revision command for ST Microelectronics devices.
                Display AVM firmware version with 'revision' command.
                New code for CSR specific revision information.
        hciattach changes:
                Support for ST Microelectronics specific initialization.
                Support for 3Com card version 3.0.
                Support for TDK, IBM and Socket cards.
                Support for initial baud rate.
        Update man pages.
        Fixes for some memory leaks.

For the BlueZ libs I don't plan another release, because the new major
version of the Bluetooth library is making good progress. But for the
BlueZ Utils I want to make another release that addresses the problems
with the pin_helper program. I think the C based bluez-pin is a good
idea and maybe we should also integrate the DBus support into the next
release. So I like to get comments on this and if you have patches,
please resend them.

Regards

Marcel
