BluFixer 1.6.7

BluFixer 1.6.7

Architecture

• Monolithic main.c split into 9 modular files under src/
• Root main.c deleted (dead code, never compiled)
• src/main.c renamed to src/app.c; AppData now a named typedef struct with extern

Stability & Safety

• Race condition on scanning flag fixed via g_atomic_int
• Double-launch guard in launch_async_action() (checks widget sensitivity)
• Dynamic error_detail per CommandContext (no global buffer, thread-safe by construction)
• last_error_detail changed to char * with proper g_free() — memory leak fixed
• NULL guards added: error detail dialog, spinner, window/button in callbacks, manufacturer field
• atexit(cleanup_temp_files) registered once via static guard
• system() replaced with g_spawn_command_line_sync() in Flatpak path
• Temp file unlink() failures logged as warnings instead of silently cast
• Cache fix checks /var/lib/bluetooth exists before rm -rf

System Fixes

• Exclusive Fixes section — device-specific fixes group (Realtek, Broadcom, GH Live) hidden by default
• Barrot/Generic Dual Mode fix — manages ControllerMode=dual in main.conf + restart; gated behind Energy fix
• GH Live fix — creates udev rules file for Guitar Hero Live controller (12ba:0100)
• System Fixes reordered: Energy → Dual Mode → Legacy pairing → ERTM
• All fix titles normalized to sentence case across all 5 languages
• Dead code (g_autofree char *fw_check) removed in Realtek fix

Device Database & Categories

• Sony 054c vendor — DualSense PS5 (0ce6), DualSense Edge (0df2), DualShock 4 Gen 1/2 (05c4/09cc), PS4 USB Adaptor (0ba0)
• Sony 12ba expanded — Guitar Hero Live (0100), Rock Band Keyboard (0210)
• CECHYA-0080 (12ba:0030) — Headset category, Sony manufacturer, PS3 licensed
• Mouse category — 1ea7:0064 → "Mouse" with input-mouse-symbolic
• Category icon system — lookup_category table with 8 entries, displayed at 14px in device list
• Device name sanitisation — & replaced with -e- in scan post-processing loop
• Vendor ID expansion — Intel (8086+8087), MediaTek (0e8d+14c3), Broadcom/Cypress (0a5c+1000), Sony (12ba+054c)
• PS licensed device detection covers PS3, PS4, and PS5 by hardware ID

UI & UX

• Preferences dialog (Ctrl+P) — Theme and Language via AdwActionRow + GtkDropDown
• Keyboard shortcuts — F1 (help), F5 (rescan), F12 (debug), Ctrl+Shift+C (copy tech sheet), Ctrl+P (prefs)
• Shortcuts dialog rewritten as AdwAlertDialog with AdwPreferencesPage layout
• Copy tech sheet format changed to {title}: {value} instead of bare values
• Bluetooth HCI version parsed across 3 tools (bluetoothctl, btmgmt, hciconfig)
• Update button only shown when release tag > app version
• Dark mode compatible — .device-sub uses alpha(@theme_fg_color, 0.55)
• Language change shows restart toast; theme change applies immediately

i18n

• 5 languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Chinese
• Custom i18n table (no gettext dependency)
• 15 missing translation keys added, including /var/lib/bluetooth not found

Other

• Comprehensive TESTING.md (165 lines, 14 sections)

BlueFix v1.5.5

New

• Full async I/O — All popen() reads (version detection, device scan) moved to GThread + g_idle_add, eliminating UI freezes.
• Case-insensitive scan — lsusb filtering now matches regardless of letter casing.

Fixes

• Command injection — g_shell_quote() on usermod -aG lp username parameter.
• Reliable restart — Replaced system("blufixer &") with g_spawn_async(argv) + g_application_quit().
• Scan race condition — Timeout cancellation + scanning guard flag.
• Widget leaks — g_list_free → g_list_free_full(..., g_object_unref) on all dynamic row lists.
• Crash on rapid close — Idle callbacks now guard with gtk_widget_get_realized().
• Version parse validation — strtol endptr checks for bluetoothctl/btmgmt/hciconfig parsers.
• Pango markup escaping — <> → <>, & → & in info dialogs.
• Translation audit — 6 key mismatches fixed, 3 missing entries added, PT text corrections.
• Askpass i18n — Zenity prompt now uses _(); atexit always registered.

Internal

• GError logging on subprocess spawn failures.
• (void) casts on all pclose() calls.
• Dead info_body() removed (fully replaced by info5()).
• Buffer sizes bumped (label[64] → [128]).
• Repo URL updated to github.com/mayrinck/blufixer.
