KBluetooth 0.4.1

In 0.4 release I asked to the distributions to update they packages, some of them did and some of then not, but the best of all is that I got a lot of feedback from the packagers, and here comes the payment for that feedback :)

With the last release I added a crash when receiving files, I gare say it was not my fault, the KBluetooth code is a mess and I can’t fix it without rewrite it from scratch (thing that I’ll explain hopefully in 2 days).

Small roadmap for 0.4 version:

  • Fix file transfer jobs (speed calculation and notifications)
  • Check (and re-check again) input

I’ll try to get the above points covered in a couple of days too.

    This may be a far-fetched question, but are there any plans to extend KBluetooth to control HID devices? For example it would be great to setup keymapping of WII-remote controller (like wiican for Gnome) or other BT gamepads

    I’ll look into it after add a2dp.

    Sounds great ;-)
    Another feature I’d really like to see is better control over device radio enable disable. At the moment KBluetooth is unable to enable/disable the device in my ThinkPad.

    Thanks for your hard work!

    Is it now possible to pair a bluetooth headset?

    Thanks a lot for your work! I just upgraded to KDE 4.4 and kbluetooth 0.4.1 and file transfers finally work for me. Great!
