In the good tradition of these monthly newsletters, Clement Lefebvre sends his deepest appreciation and thanks to all those who donated money to Linux Mint, and then teases users with the upcoming design of the Bluetooth panel, which will be implemented in the next major release of the OS, namely Linux Mint 18.2. The updated Bluetooth panel comes with out-of-the-box for OBEX file transfers, a stack switcher in the toolbar, as well as new settings that allow Linux Mint users to change the name of the Bluetooth name of their computer and enable or disable file transfer from remote devices.
