S140 5.0.0-2.alpha supported BT5 Features

[Mahmoud]

What are the BT5 features supported with 5.0.0-2.alpha. I am concerned specifically with the range; is it supported?

Well if you bother with downloading the package and reading guess what: it's written in the release documentation attached to the Soft Device binary. S140 supports 2Mbps (higher speed) and 125kbps (one of long-range bit rates) beside standard 1Mbps since V5.0.0-alpha.1. However it doesn't support 500kbps and it does support different bit rates only on connection link (not advertising) if I read correctly.

It would be logical to use the latest alpha version which is V6.0.0-alpha.1. It still doesn't support 500kbps coded PHY but it should support Advertising extensions and establishing connection with them at 2Mbps/1Mbps/125kbps.
