RE: [Lejos-discussion] New alpha0.3.0 releaseHi Andrew,
Bluetooth works fine on Linux for me. It uses Bluez.
For MAC OS X, the JNI libraries jbluez and jlibnxt need to be built. A
developer called Matthew Jording has built versions of these for OS X, and I
have asked him to do an OS X release.
There are some new classes in this release like CompassNavigator, CompassPilot,
Graphics etc. which should work with 0.2, but I haven't tried them. The main
new functionality is the menu and file system including the Flash class. These
will not work with 0.2.0
Anything you did with Bluetooth on 0.2.0 should still work. iCommand should
still work with 0.3.0.
The main problem with MAC OS X, until we have a release that includes jlibnxt,
is that you have no way of uploading programs. I could build a C upload tool
that does not need a shared library, but I would rather only do this if there a
long delay in getting an OS X release out.

That's great!
A couple of questions:
Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve the bluetooth trouble for mac
and linux?
I just got alpha0.2.0 working real good on my mac! How would I go about
porting 0.3.0 over from say, the linux build?
The same way I did 0.2.0 perhaps?
Also, is there extended functionality in the new API that isn't in 0.2.0?
Else I could just continue to use 0.2.0.
Or, is it possible to just hack the new API functions (classes etc.) into my
working 0.2.0 build?
Thanks for all of your time.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi,
The new firmware release of leJOS NXJ is finally out - see the announcements,
download page and API docs on the web site.
Apologies for the long delay - it proved difficult to make the flash version
work reliably on all NXTs.
The release is a true firmware release - you flash new firmware with
nxjflash. (All the commands now start "nxj" and you now set the environment
variable NXJ_HOME).
This release is a lot different to the last one, so read the README.html file.
There is now a simple menu system, a file system that stores programs and
data in flash memory, and a new set of PC tools, including nxjbrowse - a NXJ
file explorer that works over USB and Bluetooth.
Let us know if the release works for you, either on this list, or in the
forums on the web site. There are still issues with Windows Vista, due to the
use of libusb. Some people might have trouble with Bluetooth as the open source
library, Bluecove, is used, and this only supports the Microsoft, not the
Widcomm Bluetooth stack.
This release should work well from Eclipse and other IDEs. All the samples
have ant build files that have been tested free-standing, and from Eclipse. If
you don't want to use the ant build files, you can set up two external tools in
Eclipse: nxjc to compile your program, and nxj to link, upload and run it.
This release is currently for Windows and Linux. We hope to have a MAC OS X
release out soon.
NXT to NXT Bluetooth comms did not make it into the release. We hope to have
a new release out in a few weeks with improvement communications - including
NXT to NXT comms, and a PC-based comms proxy for communication with the outside
world.
