they are changing so many stuff, but Bluetooth is no longer a really
open specification. You have to be an adopter to participate and that
they killed the individual membership is totally stupid. They basically
kicked out all Universities and students from access to early drafts of
upcoming specifications. For the adopted specification you can use this
link to download them:
http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Learn/Technology/Specifications/
A small tip from my side. Keep all your old specifications, because they
tend to remove access to old specifications if a new one has been
released. So it is impossible to compare a new version to the old
version of a specification. If you have products complying to the old
specification, this is useful. Some changes are not obvious or they have
been forgotten to mention in the new version.
Regards
Marcel
