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.
A high-throughput week dominated by Luiz Augusto von Dentz's [GIT PULL] bluetooth-next 2026-04-10 — the fourth bluetooth pull request in five weeks — containing 56 patches from 25 authors covering core fixes, new device IDs, MT7927/MT7902 support, QCA SSR fixes, and Intel Scorpius Peak2 support.
A landmark week for both kernel and BlueZ: the MT7927 (MT6639) Bluetooth support series landed in bluetooth-next, the SMP MITM pairing security fix reached v5 and was applied, and Luiz Augusto von Dentz submitted [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-04-01 (applied to netdev/net.git).
A productive week centered on kernel stability fixes and BlueZ documentation. Luiz Augusto von Dentz submitted [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-03-25 (applied to netdev/net.git) and led the week with 47 messages.
This was a high-activity week dominated by the bluetooth regression fix saga and Pauli Virtanen's massive functional testing series. Luiz submitted [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-03-19 which was applied to netdev/net.git, but not before Thorsten Leemhuis flagged that the L2CAP ident regression fix was "likely to miss -rc5"...
This week saw 175 bluetooth-relevant messages. Activity was dominated by Luiz's [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-03-12 submission to net-next, a major btmon documentation overhaul (v1 6-patch + v2 7-patch series), and the v4 L2CAP ECRED fix (applied).
Active week with 369 messages in the archive (189 human). Key focus areas included critical L2CAP and HIDP use-after-free fixes from Luiz (driven partly by syzbot reports and Pauli Virtanen's analysis), the v4 LE connection timeout patch from Dajid Morel (Volvo) with extensive review discussion, and MediaTek MT7927 enablement from Javier Tia.
Active week with 277 messages in the archive (218 human). Major activity included L2CAP fixes, HIDP work, BlueZ functional testing and emulator improvements, a sizable set of btintel/PCIe device-id patches, and community discussion around testing and qualification.
Busy week with 203 messages in the archive (145 human). Activity centered on kernel device enablement (MediaTek/Quectel), Qualcomm QCC2072 enablement and reviews, BlueZ userspace work (doc/btmon, btpclient reorganization, BAP fixes), and mesh/mgmt robustness fixes.
An active week on the linux-bluetooth mailing list with 175 messages covering kernel bug fixes, BlueZ userspace patches, new hardware support, build system overhaul, and community announcements.
From release 5.66, the initial support for BAP (Basic Audio Profile) which is an essential part of LE Audio responsible for stream control is added.
