2.0.rc1

blueman 2.0 is feature complete! 🎆 🎉 🎈 OBEX should work reliably with BlueZ 5 now and Python 3 support has arrived.

Note that receiving files will not work with BlueZ 4 if obexd is started with a custom root path option as blueman cannot find out the effective root path and expects it to be the default /tmp.

Changed dependencies since 1.99.alpha2:

• obex-data-server is not needed anymore
• startup-notification is not needed anymore
• Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are supported
• the server part of obexd is required for receiving files
• GTK+ is no longer a build dependency
