Bluetooth doesn’t work since I’ve moved to MATE 1.8.0. (from 1.6)

Help me, please!

Otherwise, the MATE forums perhaps.

mate-bluetooth has been dropped in favor of blueman, but there is no stable release available atm. You should replace it with another bluetooth client, like xcfe4-bluetooth for example.
Blueman should be available with 1.10. Sorry for troubles

Is a BT dongle must for BT headset? I have never been able to connect my BT headset with my laptop. I thought I need to get a dongle to connect. But I can connect just fine in windows directly.
