Release of bluez-libs-3.26 and bluez-utils-3.26

Hi Folks,

this is an update release of the new stable versions of the Bluetooth library and the utilities. This release is actually a cleanup release and the first step towards the BlueZ 4.0 generation.

With this release all services are switched on by default and all old school daemons are disabled. So all package maintainers, please keep this in mind and adjust your packages.

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

Which daemons do you call "old school"? Is this pand/dund?

Can we get rid of the tick boxes in the properties services tab now? :)

yes. All this hidd, pand, dund etc. stuff that is more hacking around than actually doing something.

Actually we will, but not so quickly. We have to re-design parts of the service infrastructure for 4.0 and then we see.

Btw. you need to update gnome-user-share since the obex-data-server-0.1 API now uses DBUS_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH and no strings anymore.

And I am thinking about simply adding the support for FTP to bluez-gnome since the dependencies of gnome-user-share are a little bit too much.

The same as bluez-gnome plus httpd and avahi. Could you add a way to disable the bluez-gnome code? I'm thinking of adding obexpush support in gnome-user-share as well, as it's the better place to have it, thinking desktop-wide.
