newsEasyOS Dunfell-series 0.95 alpha release
Here is another iteration of EasyOS Dunfell-series, version 0.95.
Significant improvement this release is bluetooth support. I did a quick
test with my Audiosonic BT speaker, a very nice experience connecting
it. Basically, click on the Blueman applet in the tray, select
"Search...", turn on my BT speaker, it gets found, choose "Connect" and
it connects, and MSCW (Multiple Sound Card Wizard) pops up and allowed
me to choose the BT speaker as default audio output.
I haven't tested whether the speaker reconnects after a reboot. One
thing I recall from before, turning the speaker off then on again stuffs
things up -- don't know if that has improved.
What should be fixed with 0.95 is transferring files from PC to phone
using bluetooth. Running Blueman, search and find the phone, then can
pair. Blueman has a "Send file..." choice, there is also a utility
'bluetooth-sendto' -- which is supposed to be in the menu, but isn't.
I haven't tested BT file transfer in 0.95 yet. I was playing with 0.94
and had it working, so hopefully still ok in the 0.95 build. Needs more
development, want to make it very simple to send and receive files.
