If you didn't know it yet, there was a Raspbian update recently.  To quote
Brian Fagioli from his blog:

"*Own a Raspberry Pi? You need to download this Raspbian Linux OS update --
here's what's new* by Brian Fagioli
<http://betanews.com/author/brianfagioli/>:


" [...] If you are a Linux geek like me, you will be excited to know that
the kernel has been updated to 4.4. While this may not be meaningful to the
casual end-user, developers and more advanced users will appreciate it.

The most notable change, however, is the addition of a UI toggle for the
integrated Bluetooth in the Raspberry Pi 3. [...]


Another cool addition is a new backup tool, "SD Card Copier". [...] There
are many other updates too, including improvements to the mouse settings,
and the ability to empty the wastebasket through right-clicking. There is
even a new shutdown dialog, something even casual users should notice.


If you want to do a fresh install of the operating system, you can get it
here <https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/>. Existing 'Jessie' users
wanting to do an upgrade should use the following commands in terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install piclone geany usb-modeswitch
sudo apt-get install python-pigpio python3-pigpio
