Added new example, the module “GNOME Bluetooth”, the Bluetooth device is managed. Also, tethering, so the use of a mobile phone as a modem is made possible by the new function.

However, an error arising from the change ensures that logins and passwords will no longer be stored in forms. The developers are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.
