Change History for BTAccess Products

1/18/06 New Release for Windows Mobile 5 - BTAccess Mobile v3.0
Now compatible with Windows Mobile 5, .Net CF v2.0, Widcomm stack v1.6 and later. Also added support for a new SearchComplete event.

4/4/05 New version release - BTAccess Mobile v2.5
Released separate binary version for Widcomm stack v1.5 Build 2000 and later.

1/12/05 Bug Fix release - BTAccess Mobile v2.1
Several bugs were fixed, click here for details.

11/1/04 Released .Net support for BTAccess Mobile v2.0
BTAccess Mobile dll extended with a "flat" API that allows .Net programmers to use it. We also ship a sample C# StackDemoNet application that includes a BTAccess.cs C# example file.

9/8/04 Bug fixes and support for Widcomm v1.5 stack
A series of bug fixes related to an internal build problem were placed on the website. These corrections also provide support the latest v1.5 Widcomm bluetooth stack which is used on the Dell Axim X30 and other new PDAs.
Click here for details.

10/10/03 New Support for PocketPC 2003 ("Windows Mobile")
All the BTAccess and BTSuperPak products have a new version available to support PocketPC 2003.
Click here for details.

7/27/03 Correction to BTSuperPak help file.
There was an error in the documentation for the BTConnect program. The documentation incorrectly listed "LAN" as the service-type keyword required for LAN Access, when it should be "LAP".

7/14/03 Bug fix for SPTest Sample code.
Users of 54xx iPAQ units have reported a system hang when using the SPTest sample program to launch a BTSuperPak program. This seems to be an anomaly of the PPC operating system on some PDAs, whereby you can't immediately test a launched program's exit code. This workaround uses a system timer to check for the exit code every 400 milliseconds. Download the new code here.
