-Project Ubertooth 2012-10-R1 Release Notes
+Ubertooth 2014-02-R2 Release Notes
-The Ubertooth host utilities in this release require libbtbb-2012.10.R1 or
-greater, it can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/libbtbb/files/
+The Ubertooth host utilities in this release require libbtbb-2014-02-R2 (https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/libbtbb/releases/tag/2014-02-R2) or greater.
-These are just the highlights. For a complete list of changes since the
-previous release, see the git log.
+These are just the highlights, for a complete list of changes since the

- - libubertooth
+ * Bluetooth Smart (Low Energy) Support
+ * Promiscuous and follow modes
+ * Pcap format packet logging
+ * Pairing / encryption support when paired with crackle: https://github.com/mikeryan/crackle
+ * Credit for BLE features goes to Mike Ryan
- The core Ubertooth functions are now packaged as a library, which allows us
- to have some independence between the core ubertooth functions and the tools
- that use them, such as ubertooth-* and the kismet plugin. 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.
