Raspberry Pi Foundation's Simon Long today announced that a major update is available for the main Linux kernel-based operating system for Raspberry Pi single-board computers.

The latest update to Raspbian, version 2016-05-13, adds just that, a Bluetooth UI in the form of an indicator/plugin for the LXPanel of the LXDE desktop environment, which also supports Bluetooth Audio. So, after updating your Raspbian OS, you'll now see a new Bluetooth icon on the panel, next to the Network icon.

But the Bluetooth Indicator is not the only thing to get excited for in the new Raspbian 2016-05-03 release, which also adds a new graphical utility called SD Card Copier, allowing users to migrate their Raspbian installations to new cards or just keep a backup, the Geany IDE (Integrated Development Environment), and the pigpio library.
