SimpleBLE v0.11.0

SimpleBLE v0.11.0 is out!

TLDR: Linux just got a whole lot more useful with the introduction of BLE peripheral mode, plus several quality improvements for Python users. Check out the release notes here.

Deep dive into SimpleBLE v0.11.0

Let’s review some of the most important changes of this new release.

Linux Gets Peripheral Mode

After a year of foundational work, we're shipping a feature that changes what's possible on Linux: BLE Peripheral support. This means your Linux machine can now:

• Advertise as a BLE device
• Expose GATT services and characteristics
• Act as a complete peripheral

Why does this matter? If you thought using Central roles with the native Bluetooth stacks was hard, Peripheral takes this to a whole new level. It took us a very long time to find the right data representations that could abstract this problem away cleanly, but we’ve finally reached a point we feel comfortable sharing with a wider audience.

This barrier is now gone, and with it a whole new world of possibilities opens up: Build custom peripheral applications, device emulators or hardware mocks, all without any extra hardware.

Taking Robustness to the Next Level

Reliability is our ongoing commitment, helping your team ship faster with fewer surprises. In production environments, there's no room for libraries that leave you without live support when issues arise.

Focus on building your product, not fixing someone else's.

That's a wrap!

Versatility, reliability, and production-ready quality remain our top focus. Stay tuned for exciting new capabilities in upcoming SimpleBLE releases!
