fliclib does not work with the current bluez master #34

One of the recent commits of bluez seem to break something up, it's not possible to connect buttons anymore. Log when trying to connect:

Moving back to Bluez 5.37 solves the problem. Although fliclib is still in beta and shouldn't be used for operational purposes, building bluez against master makes the behaviour very unpredictable and tracking of problems very hard as everything could change when a new commit comes in. Furthermore, many users will have many different bluez versions depending on the time they built it. Maybe it's better to recommend using bluez 5.37 instead of master?

I had the same behaviour and also had to downgrade.

Yeah, things are broken, which is a shame. 5.37 works but buttons disconnect sometimes and get stuck, and it still crashes for me after a couple of days. I'm definitely looking forward to when this gets to a point where things are stable.

As an update, bluez is now on 5.38 and the flic lib is not supported. Hopefully the bluez committers are aware of the issue.

More luck w/ 5.39?

New to the project, but doesn't seem to work with 5.39, either. Rolled back to 5.37 and its more stable.
