[peterfoot]

BlueZ 5 introduces changes to the API so will require code changes:- http://www.bluez.org/bluez-5-api-introduction-and-porting-guide/

Opened as separate issue from #6

is there any update about this? Like .net core on linux?

[peterfoot]

Ideally I need some help adding new platforms. Please let me know if you'd like to contribute a Linux provider.

@peterfoot thank you for supporting the Linux.Bluetooth project as part of 32feet! It's truly an honor, as I started using your library 10+ years ago, and it inspired me to build this.

Please let me know if there are any API-level changes that would make support for your project easier. I'd be happy to work with you. 👍

[peterfoot]

Thanks, it provides a great API over the DBus workings. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel so am trying to incorporate it so it's another platform supported with the same cross-platform API (which itself is based on WebBluetooth). I've not had a lot of time to work on it so it's still a work in progress.

@DamianSuess if I recall, Linux.Bluetooth doesn't currently support Descriptors? At some point it would be useful to add those if they are not currently in progress...

[DamianSuess]

@peterfoot, I'll get it on the backlog, and let's make it happen. 👍
