gnome-bluetooth 0.5.0
=====================

 * gnome-obex-send and gnome-obex-server are now based on the new
   OBEX code in libbtctl.  This should lead to an increase in reliability.
   gnome-obex-server now lets you decide whether a device is allowed to
   connect or not.  The download directory can be configured from the
   gconf key /apps/gnome-bluetooth/obex-savedir.

 * gnome-bluetooth-admin has been retired in favour of a new program
   called gnome-bluetooth-manager.  This is implemented in Python, but
   is only at an early stage right now.

 * gnome-vfs support has been removed.  Use gnome-bluetooth-manager to
   view all the devices.

 * OBEX sending support is now available on the Nautilus context menus
   for files.

 * Radical changes in underlying code!

   The Bonobo component has been completely removed, in favour of a
   normal GObject, GnomebtController, to be found in libgnomebt.  This
   embodies all of the functionality from the Bonobo object, but without
   getting CORBA/Bonobo involved.  It ships with Python bindings, too.

   To find out how to use it, check out gnomebt-controller-test.c in src/
   for C, and the applications in the python/ directory for Python.

   Porting your code to this new object should make your programs smaller
   and more reliable.

 * New widgets include GnomebtChooser, GnomebtPermissionDialog, 
   GnomebtSpinner.

  destination server.

  remote devices have been discovered.
