Title: Upgrade to Bluez 5
Requested by: Jeffrey Cheung (jeffreycheung)
+ Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
BlueZ 5 come with numerous new features, API simplifications and other
improvements. With this release BlueZ only supports the new Bluetooth
Management kernel interface that was introduced in Linux 3.4, so
essentially this is the minimum kernel requirement for BlueZ 5. For Low
Energy support at least kernel version 3.5 is needed. The new major
version indicates that the API is not backwards compatible with BlueZ
4, which means that any applications, agents, etc will need to be
updated. The BlueZ internal test scripts and tools have naturally
already been updated to support the new API.
The BlueZ version in SLE11 SP3 is BlueZ 4.99 which mean that regardless
of new features, and improvements, we have to upgrade definitely.
