The major change is to the Bluetooth address struct.  It now has an added value for the distinction between "public" and "random" 4.x addresses.  Also some added constants to open LE connections.

An effort to write some was started at the Bloomberg sprint last month,
but nothing has been posted to the issue yet:

Is Bluetooth 4.0 something different from what the socket module already
has?
