SimpleBLE v0.10.4 - The cross-platform Bluetooth library that just works

Hey everybody, SimpleBLE v0.10.4 is out! We focused on making the most versatile Bluetooth library even more reliable.

For those who don’t know, SimpleBLE is a cross-platform Bluetooth library with a very simple API that just works, allowing developers to easily integrate it into their projects without much effort, instead of wasting hours and hours on development. 

Let’s review some of the most important changes of this new release.

Introducing Advanced Features 

We’ve recently added scaffolding to allow users to configure the behavior of internal components as well as interacting directly with them. This feature is currently at an early stage of development, but will significantly increase the value and versatility you can extract out of SimpleBLE.

New Linux Backend In Progress 

We started working on a full rewrite of our Linux backend, with the goal of exposing peripheral capabilities to the wider public. During this time, we’ve created a full copy of the legacy Linux backend and made it the default until the new backend is complete. You can test the nightly versions of the new backend with a new configuration flag, 

Stability Fixes 

Retrieving the same adapter multiple times now always returns the same underlying objects. Fixed bugs causing freezes, crashes and race conditions. Python source distributions now include all required files. All the good stuff.

See for yourself how easy it is to get started by looking at our examples on GitHub.

If you’re building BLE products or projects, we’d love to hear from you!
