Coming just a week after fwupd 1.5.6, the fwupd 1.5.7 release is here with initial support for BlueZ Bluetooth devices, which means that you’ll soon be able to update the firmware of your Bluetooth devices supporting Linux’s BlueZ Bluetooth stack. In addition, this release adds support for the RTD21xx HDMI converter, support for more pixart devices, the ability to convert MBR types to GPT GUIDs to help find the ESP, as well as the ability to no longer update a synaptics-mst device that doesn’t have a customer ID.
