This should also - help with future binary packaging. + * Unified host tool for monitoring Basic Rate + * ubertooth-rx replaces -lap, -uap, -hop tools + * Once UAP is discovered, ubertooth-rx automatically tries to find clock values and begin hopping - - Firmware flashing + * Survey tool - ubertooth-scan + * Combining both Ubertooth and a standard Bluetooth dongle + * Ubertooth scans for non-discoverable master devices + * Dongle probes devices for piconet information and features - The ubertooth-dfu tool now attenpts to identify Ubertooth devices and put - them in to firmware upgrade mode. Multiple arguments can also be passed to - ubertooth-dfu and will be executed in the order specified ont he commandline. - To flash firmware on to an ubertooth device, use the following command: - ubertooth-dfu --write <firmware_image.dfu> --detach + * Cmake now used for the build system + * Improves support for non-Linux operating systems + * More sensible handling of dependencies + * New build instructions: https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/wiki/Build-Guide - - Bluetooth Low Energy (Experimental) + * Packaging (Experimental) + * Early stage support for packaging systems + * libbtbb in Homebrew repository, Ubertooth coming soon + * MacPorts availability is under test + * Release already available in Pentoo - Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) sniffing is experimentally supported - by the ubertooth-btle tool. The tool can be used to sniff the connection - setup procedure between devices; promiscuous sniffing is available but is - extremely experimental. Credit for this achievement goes to Mike Ryan. + * GitHub migration + * libbtbb, Ubertooth and gr-bluetooth all hosted on GitHub + * Allows for more open development and collaboration model + * Already seeing an increase in issue reporting and pull requests - - Ubertooth-follow - - Ubertooth-follow has been added to the set of Ubertooth commandline tools. - It retrieves the clock value from a local device using libbluetooth (bluez) - and uses the Ubertooth to hop in time with the piconet. To build - ubertooth-follow use "make clock_debug=true". - - - Git - - Since the last release we have moved the source repository from SVN to Git. - This should not affect the released code, but makes life easier for those of - us working on the code. |
