I saw a note - or at least I think I saw a note - in the 14.1.0psb release notes about a new tdebluez. So I tried to install it and failed but by then I had already closed the release notes and could not find them again.
(1) It appears that the package is actually - and perhaps redundantly - - called tdebluez-trinity. Unless my memory is playing tricks it might help if the package name and the release notes matched.
(2) Because 14.1.0psb is not yet released the (draft) release notes are not yet linked to the regular release notess page: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php I was also unable to find 14.1.0 release notes through various web searches, from my T menu, or via Trinity Help Center. Is there a canonical way to find/read the release notes of the installed version of TDE?
Thanks,

Git repository is called tdebluez, the binary is called tdebluez, but like most other packages (such as tdepowersave) source tarball and deb package are called tdebluez-trinity to be consistent with other packages.
We could discuss whether it makes sense to leave '-trinity' in cases where the package clearly belongs to TDE. However, this would also affect packages like tdelibs, tdebase, tdepim... I think it could make sense to leave it until it is possible to miss '-trinity' for all packages => when all binaries and libraries that can collide with the KDE applications and libraries and prevent installation in /usr will be renamed.
Your opinions are welcome.

For open Release Notes in Help Center you can use: khelpcenter help:/khelpcenter/releasenotes/
If you run the Help Center separately, there is a link Welcome to TDE, where there is a link to Release Notes.
Draft for complete version of the newly prepared Release Notes can be found on Wiki: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.1.0
Thanks,

I agreed with Slavek's view: the -trinity and -tqt suffix is used widely to make package names unique and avoid clashing with KDE packages. There is kate-trinity, konqeuror-trinity, konsole-trinity and so on, so tdebluez-trinity is no exception. I don't see this a big deal and till we find a solution for conflicting names with KDE, I don't see a reason to change the current name scheme.
