Ubertooth 2017-03-R2 Release Notes

The Ubertooth host utilities in this release require libbtbb-2017-03-R2 or greater.

Changes

USB API versioning - We have added USB API versioning to improve the experience of failures due to mismatched firmware and host code. You may find that Ubertooth tools complain that your firmware is out of date. Updating firmware is simple and reliable, please follow the instructions on the wiki. A release archive with precompiled firmware is available.

Documentation - We have man pages! All of the Ubertooth tools have had a refresh of their arguments and we have written documentation for each tool which will be installed in the form of man pages. Thanks to Mike Ryan for driving this.

Basic Rate PCAP output - the pcap file produced by the Ubertooth tools should all be read by the latest Wireshark versions without the need to install plugins.

Kismet plugins - Kismet is currently under heavy development and it has not been possible to continue tracking the master branch. The legacy Kismet plugins should continue to work, but we will wait to track git master until development has stabalised.

This release rolls up a lot of bug fixes, code tidying efforts, and small enhancements, for a complete list of changes since the previous release, see the git commit log.
