Hi Folks,

I released a new stable version of the Bluetooth library and also the
utilities. The library contains only small updates, but the utilities
got some major enhancements in the HID area. The EPoX keyboards and
their new HID presenters should now work correct in report protocol
mode.

With this version the bluez-bluefw is deprecated by the bluez-firmware
package. The Broadcom firmware loading utility for 2.4 kernels is now
also part of the bluez-utils package and was renamed to bcm203x.

For the package maintainers it is now important that they add the USB
library to their build requirements, because hid2hci and bcm203x makes
use of it.

The sources can be found under http://www.bluez.org/download.html

Regards

Marcel
