ESP-IDFv0.9, BLE availability

Hey,
We just installed ESP-IDFv0.9.
We read the known issues at the release notes and saw that:
"BT/BLE host stack is not supported yet"

Does it mean that the BLE is not usable yet unless we develop the stack by ourselves?
When is the stack expected to be available?

Thanks,
Nir

BLE peripheral (ie connecting to a BLE host) is supported now, although it does not currently coexist with WiFi. When configuring an esp-idf project with "make menuconfig" you can choose the Bluetooth or WiFi stack. Using both stacks simultaenously is on the list of features for the v1.0 release.

BLE host (ie having other peripherals connect to the device) as well as Bluetooth Classic host are both coming in v1.0 as well.

(Find the full list of v1.0 features here: http://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=375 )
