Part C. Core Specification Change History
vAtlanta r00
1. Removed features
Some features have been deemed no longer useful and have been removed. The term removed does not mean that they are no longer allowed, but that they are no longer recommended as the best way of performing a given function.
Removed features may be implemented using the latest qualifiable version (if any) of the specification that specifies the removed features.
2. Changes from v1.1 to v1.2
2.1. New features
Several new features were introduced in the version 1.2. The major areas of improvement are:
Architectural overview
Faster connection
Adaptive frequency hopping
Extended SCO links
Enhanced error detection and flow control
Enhanced synchronization capability
Enhanced flow specification
The feature descriptions are incorporated into the existing text in different core parts, described in Volumes 2 and 3.
2.2. Structure changes
Version 1.2 was significantly restructured for better consistency and readability. The most important structure changes have been performed in Baseband, LMP, HCI and L2CAP. The text in these sections has been rearranged to provide:
Presentation of the information in a more logical progression
Removal of redundant text and requirements
Consolidation of Baseband-related requirements (for example, the Baseband Timers and Bluetooth Audio sections into the Baseband Specification)
Alignment of the specification with the new architecture and terminology presented in the Architecture Overview (see [Vol 1] Part E).
In addition, new text and requirements were added for the new features as well as many changes throughout the specification to update the text to use IEEE language (see [Vol 1] Part E).
2.3. Deprecated features list
Features deprecated in version 1.2 are:
The use of Unit Keys for security
Optional Paging schemes
23 channel hopping sequence
Page scan period mode and associated commands
2.4. Changes in wording
Two general classes of changes to the wording of the Bluetooth Specification have been done for version 1.2. They are a formalization of the language by using conventions established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and a regularization of Bluetooth wireless technology-specific terms. Many portions of the version 1.1 specification use imprecise or inaccurate terms to describe attributes of the protocol. A more accurate terminology described in Part E was introduced into the version 1.2 specification and have been applied in future versions.
2.5. Nomenclature changes
The nomenclature in Bluetooth 1.2 was also updated due to new concepts that are introduced together with the new features and the new architecture. See [Vol 1] Part A.
3. Changes from v1.2 to v2.0 + EDR
3.1. New features
Version 2.0 + EDR introduces Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). EDR provides a set of additional packet types that use the new 2 Mb/s and 3 Mb/s modes.
In addition to EDR a set of errata provided in ESR02 has been incorporated into this version and revised to include changes caused by the addition of EDR.
These additions are incorporated into the existing text in different core parts described in Volumes 2 and 3.
3.2. Deprecated features
The only feature deprecated in version 2.0 + EDR is the Page Scan Period Mode and associated commands (based on Erratum 694 which is also included in ESR02).
4. Changes from v2.0 + EDR to v2.1 + EDR
4.1. New features
Several new features are introduced in version 2.1 + EDR. The major areas of improvement are:
Erroneous Data Reporting
Encryption Pause and Resume
Extended Inquiry Response
Link Supervision Timeout Changed event
Non-Automatically-Flushable Packet Boundary Flag
Secure Simple Pairing
Sniff Subrating
Security Mode 4
4.2. Removed features
No features were removed in v2.1 + EDR.
5. Changes from v2.1 + EDR to v3.0 + HS
5.1. New features
Several new features are introduced in version 3.0 + HS. The major areas of improvement are:
AMP Manager protocol (A2MP)
Enhancements to L2CAP including

Fixed channel support
Enhancements to HCI for AMP
Enhancements to Security for AMP

Enhancements to HCI for Low Energy
Low Energy Direct Test Mode

12.4. Global terminology changes
Certain terms that were identified as inappropriate have been replaced. As a consequence, some other terms have also been changed to retain consistency and some HCI command and event names had consequential changes. For a list of the original terms and names and their replacements, see the Appropriate Language Mapping Tables, https://www.bluetooth.com/language-mapping/Appropriate-Language-Mapping-Table.
These terminology changes were made under the following issues: 15328, 15334, 15336, 15338, 15342, 15343, 15344, 15345, 15346, 15347, 15348, 15349, 15350, 15351, 15352, 15353, 15354, 15355, 15356, 15357, 15358, 15359, 15360, 15361, 15362, 15363, 15389, 15529, 15531.
