Bluetooth support
I have recently been experimenting with bluetooth support in Fatdog. Bluetooth is a complex interface with a lot of profiles (ie services) requiring many daemons to run.This is what I have managed so far:
1. Device pairing via gnome-bluetooth
2. BT mouse works immediately
3. Audio streaming to BT speakers
4. BT send files via OBEX (no receive yet)
5. BT modem access via BT DUN profile
6. BT network sharing via BT PAN profile
Modem access requires manual configuration such as editing /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf, starting bluetooth PAN daemon (pand) etc.
I'm running out of time, I will provide more details when I am free. For those who wants to experiment, I have uploaded the pets (bluez, obexd and gnome-bluetooth) to the usual Fatdog64 package repository.

Fatdog64 620beta1
Finally, Fatdog64 620 beta1 is released, after about two months of internal testing. Other than the usual package updates and numerous bug fixes, a few notable things that I'm especially proud of in this release is:1. Fatdog64 now supports savefile located on LVM and mdadm software RAID partitions.
2. Fatdog64 can store its persistence in a directory rather than on a loopback savefile.
3. The obvious one: Fatdog64 now supports UEFI and Secure Boot systems!

Fatdog64 updates
We have an exciting activities in the last few days. After a long wait, we have finally moved our source repository to ibiblio.org, fully under our control, so we can quickly fix problems when it happens.We are gearing for 620 beta release. Fatdog64 620 will come with lots of bug fixes and improvements over 611; most notably is its UEFI and Secure Boot support based on shim (from Matthew Garret, rEFInd (from Rod Smith) and GRUB2 (including much needed Fedora patches).
To that end, Kirk has just compiled linux kernel 3.7.7 today, and I'm running it now! I've prepared Catalyst and Nvidia drivers and are uploading it to Fatdog64 pet repo in ibiblio.
Exciting things afoot ...
