Commits pushed to bluez/bluez master during this period (examples):
doc/btmon: Add missing documentation – Luiz Augusto von Dentz (Intel)shared/bap: Fix endpoint configuration – Frederic Danis (Collabora)client/btpclient: Move btpclient to client/btpclient – Frédéric Danis (Collabora)bass: Fix use-after-free when rescanning broadcast sources – Sarveshwar Bajaj (NXP)Continued maintainer-driven work: L2CAP correctness fixes, monitor/doc improvements (doc/btmon), and test/monitor helper changes. Luiz (Intel) authored several multi-patch doc/monitor series and protocol fixes that shaped the week’s discussions.
Focus on chipset enablement and bindings (QCC2072), driver refactoring, and reliability fixes for QCA platforms. Multiple patch series advanced through review, with active feedback from maintainers and CI.
Device enablement and firmware updates for MT7902 / MT7925 families dominated several threads (driver additions, SDIO/USB IDs, and linux-firmware updates).
Reorganizing btpclient into client/btpclient and adding GATT Device Name support; also contributed BlueZ userspace fixes and push notifications.
Worked on BAP/broadcast stability (use-after-free fixes) and endpoint configuration patches.
doc/btmon documentation series and btpclient reorganization improved testability and maintainability.A security-focused week with two independent vulnerability disclosures: a use-after-free in l2cap_sock_alloc_skb_cb reported by Safa Karakuş, and an SDP OOB heap read via signed/unsigned confusion (CVSS 8.1H, no pairing required).
A landmark week marked by the BlueZ Face-to-Face Meetup announcement (Nice, France, May 30-31) and Bastien Nocera's massive meson build system v9 series (15 patches, 16 messages) proposing a complete build system migration plus HTML documentation generation.
A week dominated by Naga Bhavani Akella's extraordinary Channel Sounding iteration — posting v3 through v10 (8 revisions, 32 messages) of the BlueZ Channel Sounding implementation, making her the most prolific contributor by a wide margin.
