Bluez5 for Snappy Core Rolling/Edge in the store

[John McAleely]

[It falls to me to announce the work of my colleague Tony Espy, who is out
of office today on vacation]

We just published bluez5 snaps for the amd64 and armhf to the store for
> Snappy Rolling/Edge ( 16.04 ).  The remaining architectures will be
> published to the store later this month.


> $ snap find bluez5
> Name             Version      Summary
> bluez5.canonical 5.37-1-amd64 bluez5
> $ snap find bluez5
> Name             Version      Summary
> bluez5.canonical 5.37-1-armhf bluez5


> The initial release supports the basic Bluetooth Low Energy GATT profile
> as well as limited support for HID ( keyboard only ).  I used an older
> Apple BT keyboard for testing, however most non-LE keyboards should work.


> OBEX is included in the snap ( the obexd daemon and obexctl command-line
> tool ), but is still considered experimental.


> Most of the testing to-date has focused on a Raspberry Pi2 using a
> Plugable Low-Energy USB dongle [1].


> An overview.md file is installed by the snap to /usr/share/doc/bluez. It
> gives some examples of how to use the included bluetoothctl.


> Please report any bugs using the Ubuntu bluez project and add the tag
> "snappy" [2].
