1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
5 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
6 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
8 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
9 if no command line arguments are specified
10 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
11 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
13 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
14 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
15 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
16 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
17 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
18 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
19 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
20 like a null terminated string... also added more
21 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
22 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
23 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
24 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
25 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
26 on database records, for testing
27 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
28 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
29 which completes builder support
30 Checksums from the following commands now match:
31 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
32 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
33 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
34 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
35 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
37 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
39 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
42 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
43 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
44 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
47 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
50 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
51 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.
54 - added thread-safe logging mechanism

60 debug and exception information goes, instead of
65 - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
67 - also added ProbeResult constructor
68 - merged changes from visibility branch:
69 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
70 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
71 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
72 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such
74 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

176 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
177 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
179 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
180 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
182 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
183 to avoid the CVS directories
184 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
185 diff.gz and dsc files
186 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
187 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
190 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
191 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
192 real opensync libraries
194 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
195 building RPM's from CVS
196 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
197 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
198 on ./configure command line
200 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
201 so that the database name is stored as the first line
203 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
205 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
206 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
208 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
209 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
211 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
212 Paul Dugas for the tip
214 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
215 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
216 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
217 - updated AUTHORS file
219 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
220 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
221 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
222 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
223 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
224 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
225 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
226 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
228 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
229 - updated copyright statments for 2008
231 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
233 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
234 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
239 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
243 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
246 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
247 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
249 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
250 - added pause to maintainer release script
256 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
260 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
262 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
263 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
265 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
266 search by busname / devname
267 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
268 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
269 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
270 bus/device names, and updated the man page
271 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
272 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
273 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
274 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
275 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
276 spec file for opensuse
278 - added better error checking to breset
279 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
280 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
281 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
282 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
283 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
284 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
285 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
287 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
288 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
289 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
290 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
291 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
292 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
293 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
294 make applications look more capable, not less.
295 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
296 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
297 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
300 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
301 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
304 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
305 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
306 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
307 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
308 at the same time as usb_storage.
309 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
310 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
311 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
312 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
313 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
314 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
315 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
316 fail naturally on these devices.
317 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
319 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
320 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
322 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
323 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
325 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
327 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
328 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
329 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
330 that release package builds can be done faster
332 - opensync plugin fixes:
333 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
334 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
335 and keep track of the hierarchy when
336 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
337 - added support for searching for attributes only
338 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
339 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
341 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
342 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
343 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
344 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
345 ToBarry conversion results
346 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
348 - fixed typo in previous fix
350 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
351 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
352 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
357 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
361 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
362 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
364 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
365 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
366 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
367 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
369 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
372 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
373 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
374 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
375 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
376 without recompiling the kernel.
377 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
379 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
380 information in README files to html format, so that it
381 is commonly available on the web
382 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
383 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
385 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
386 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
389 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
390 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
391 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
392 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
393 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
394 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
395 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
396 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
397 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
398 explanatory document for various system requirements
399 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
401 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
402 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
403 for opensuse rpm builds
405 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
406 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
407 - fixed build target to i386
408 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
411 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
412 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
413 will be updated more frequently
415 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
416 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
417 configure scripts to support external build directories
418 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
419 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
420 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
421 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
422 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
425 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
426 parse the comma separated string into an array,
428 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
429 and will affect backward compatibility with
430 old serialization datafiles
431 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
432 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
434 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
435 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
437 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
438 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
439 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
440 - fixed in opensync plugin:
441 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
442 so added lower case conversion routine
443 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
444 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
445 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
446 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
448 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
449 - added status message to endpoint override
451 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
452 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
453 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
454 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
455 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
456 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
458 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
459 The description is now part of the probe results
460 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
461 a new attribute definition.
462 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
463 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
464 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
465 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
466 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
467 in order to better support SWIG and Python
469 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
470 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
471 settings automatically where possible
472 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
473 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
475 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
476 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
477 error.cc is now an empty shell
478 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
479 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
480 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
481 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
482 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
484 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
489 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
493 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
494 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
495 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
497 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
498 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
500 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
501 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
502 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
503 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
504 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
506 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
507 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
508 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
509 endian bug in the process)
510 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
511 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
512 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
513 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
514 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
515 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
516 - opensync-plugin/README update
517 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
518 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
519 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
521 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
523 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
526 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
527 for the broken-down name instead of N
528 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
529 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
530 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
531 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
532 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
533 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
534 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
535 registered two. Moving to single change commit
536 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
537 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
538 ease memory pressure in the library.
539 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
541 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
542 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
543 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
545 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
547 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
548 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
549 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
550 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
551 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
552 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
553 record into the device.... First/Last Name
554 fields are position sensitive, and the code
555 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
556 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
557 were not updated to handle the new field
558 table added for the postal address changes
561 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
562 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
563 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
564 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
565 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
566 UID strings, instead of just numbers
567 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
568 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
569 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
570 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
571 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
573 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
574 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
575 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
576 sync the wrong device and lose data.
577 Actions to take on new PIN:
578 - force slow_sync, or
580 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
581 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
582 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
583 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
585 - changed PIN error message number to hex
587 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
588 "Backup in progress..."
589 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
590 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
591 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
592 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
593 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
594 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
595 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
596 a new class called PostalAddress
597 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
598 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
599 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
600 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
602 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
604 - added vCard converter class
605 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
606 of empty attribute values and parameters,
607 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
608 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
609 an extra nth argument, in order to search
610 for multiple attributes with the same name...
611 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
612 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
613 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
616 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
617 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
618 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
619 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
623 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
624 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
625 new Barry ID would look like a new change
626 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
627 - added support for slow sync
628 - added clear() to idmap class
629 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
630 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
631 - added Notification time support
632 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
633 does not exist in a vformat data block
634 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
635 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
636 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
637 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
638 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
639 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
640 special cases in the future
642 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
644 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
645 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
646 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
648 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
649 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
650 library API that is not yet finished... will be
651 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
652 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
654 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
655 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
656 the goal is to be able to do:
657 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
659 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
660 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
661 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
662 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
664 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
665 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
667 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
669 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
670 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
672 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
673 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
674 in general use will not break on build
675 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
676 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
677 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
679 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
681 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
682 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
683 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
684 SetIds() is already there
685 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
686 and moved into record.h
687 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
689 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
690 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
691 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
692 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
694 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
696 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
697 - changes to PIN message patch:
698 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
699 - fixed tab alignment throughout
700 - removed typedef from Address struct
701 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
702 going to be a standalone type
703 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
704 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
705 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
706 backing on a field for other use
707 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
708 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
709 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
710 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
711 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
712 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
713 PIN Message so that we store both of these
716 - added item to gui/TODO
717 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
719 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
720 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
721 modified to split into the new separate files system

723 - reformatted the code to match coding style
725 - added copyright notice
726 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
727 - placed in Barry namespace
728 - added #ifdef header protectors
729 - added new files to Makefile.am
730 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
731 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
732 Brian Edginton's patch
733 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
734 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
737 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
738 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
742 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
743 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
744 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
745 linker errors with the new file layout
747 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
748 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
749 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
751 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
752 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
753 and added a command line option to turn
754 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
755 - command line option --help now also works
756 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
757 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
758 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
759 localizing the constants in one place
761 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
762 fields in Contact and Calendar records
763 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
764 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
765 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
766 Outlook from the comments.
767 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
768 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
769 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
770 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
771 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
776 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
777 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
780 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
781 based on the example plugin in the opensync
782 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
786 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
787 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
788 and then success afterward
789 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
790 - added item to gui's todo list
791 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
795 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
799 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
800 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
802 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
803 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
804 - updated maintainer/README
805 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
807 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
808 - bumped release number in barry.spec
811 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
812 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
813 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
814 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
816 - added development note to README
818 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
821 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
822 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
825 - removed some unneeded trace logs
826 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
828 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
829 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
831 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
832 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
834 - opensync module work:
835 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
836 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
837 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
838 a hard coded calendar record state table
839 - added lots of logging throughout
840 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
841 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
842 causing another sync on the next run
843 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
844 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
845 written to the Blackberry
846 - more opensync module work:
847 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
848 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
849 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
850 the environment classes
851 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
852 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
854 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
855 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
856 a sample configuration
857 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
858 on success (opensync module)
859 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
860 - allowed comments in the config file
861 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
862 routines are not available from the plugin side
865 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
866 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
867 only use idProduct, and updated man page
868 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
869 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
870 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
871 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
872 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
873 and the old search didn't always work
874 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
875 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
876 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
877 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
878 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
879 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
880 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
881 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
882 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
884 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
885 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
886 the vevent20 data (experimental)
888 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
889 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
891 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
893 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
894 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
896 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
898 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
900 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
901 FullName, even if there was no last name)
902 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
903 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
904 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
905 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
906 this special case, without relying on string length.
907 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
908 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
909 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
911 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
913 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
914 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
915 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
916 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
917 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
918 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
919 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
920 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
921 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
923 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
924 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
926 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
927 udev rules for the Pearl
928 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
930 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
931 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
932 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
933 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
934 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
935 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
936 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
937 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
938 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
939 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
940 - added license file to each package
941 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
944 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
945 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
947 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
948 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
949 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
951 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
952 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
953 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
954 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
955 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
956 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
957 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
958 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
959 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
961 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
962 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
968 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
971 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
973 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
974 device discovery code
975 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
976 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
977 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
978 than are really available... in this case, let's
979 just ignore the missing data and assume success
980 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
981 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
982 - ReleaseChecklist update
983 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
984 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
987 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
988 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
990 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
991 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
992 - added initial release maintainer scripts
993 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
994 no databases selected in configuration
995 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
996 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
997 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
998 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
999 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1001 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1002 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1003 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1004 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1005 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1006 -v now controls this as well
1007 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1008 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1009 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1010 the beginning of USB conversations
1011 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1012 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1013 its sequence number behaviour
1014 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1015 socket 0 level command
1016 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1017 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1018 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1019 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1020 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1021 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1022 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1023 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1024 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1025 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1026 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1027 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1028 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1030 - updated controller.cc:
1031 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1032 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1033 selecting modes, as it should use the
1034 socket 0 sequence number
1035 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1036 - updated some .cvsignore files
1038 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1039 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1044 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1045 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1046 new PasswordChallenge struct
1047 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1048 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1049 password hashing logic.
1050 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1052 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1053 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1054 - major LDIF overhaul:
1055 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1057 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1058 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1059 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1061 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1063 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1064 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1066 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1067 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1068 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1069 - large update to btool manpage
1070 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1072 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1073 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1074 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1075 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1076 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1077 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1078 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1079 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1080 instead of hardcoding it.
1082 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1083 - minor tweaks to README
1084 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1085 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1086 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1087 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1088 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1089 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1090 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1092 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1093 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1094 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1095 - added iomanip to debug.h
1096 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1097 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1100 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1101 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1102 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1103 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1106 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1107 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1109 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1111 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1112 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1113 one base class: Barry::Error
1114 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1115 - added BadPassword exception
1121 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1122 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1123 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1124 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1125 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1126 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1127 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1129 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1130 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1131 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1132 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1133 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1134 due to pending reads
1136 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1137 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1139 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1140 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1141 - iostream output size fixes
1142 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1143 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1144 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1145 this is still experimental
1146 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1147 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1149 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1150 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1151 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1152 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1154 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1155 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1156 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1157 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1158 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1159 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1160 and record objects that use it.
1161 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1162 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1164 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1165 This returns the default rectype that should work
1166 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1167 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1168 records, this info would be good to know.
1169 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1170 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1171 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1172 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1173 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1174 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1175 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1176 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1177 - backup GUI updates:
1178 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1179 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1180 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1181 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1182 i.e. Backup or Restore
1183 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1184 it appears to be read-only on the device
1185 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1186 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1187 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1188 supported now by the library
1190 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1191 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1193 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1194 using the library should not care about endianness
1195 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1196 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1198 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1200 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1201 Version call instead
1202 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1204 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1205 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1206 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1208 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1209 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1210 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1212 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1213 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1214 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1215 through btool, for development
1216 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1217 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1218 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1219 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1220 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1221 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1222 exceptions need to be handled with
1223 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1224 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1225 - added pending gui/TODO items
1227 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1228 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1229 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1230 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1231 when we try to write to it)
1232 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1234 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1236 - updated copyright dates for the new year

1255 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1257 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1258 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1259 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1260 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1262 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1264 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1266 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1267 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1269 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1271 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1272 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1274 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1275 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1276 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1277 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1278 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1279 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1281 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices

1291 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1293 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1294 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1295 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1314 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1315 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1317 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1318 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1319 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1320 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1321 properly when installed standalone
1322 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1323 installed barry library
1324 - added commentary on version number system
1325 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1326 system supercedes it

1362 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1363 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1365 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1366 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1367 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1368 exceptions leak into the C library code
1370 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1371 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1373 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1374 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1376 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1379 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1380 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1381 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1382 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1383 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1384 header of its own, in the case of email
1385 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1386 Record does not know the details of the packet
1387 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1388 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1389 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1390 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1391 the record format details, but does know the
1392 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1394 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1395 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1396 record formats being the same even with different
1397 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1398 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1399 See the header size of the email record after
1401 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1402 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1403 The Controller object does not know the format
1404 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1405 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1406 to talk to the device.
1407 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1409 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1411 - added sample hotplug scripts
1412 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1413 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1414 handle non-little-endian machines
1415 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1416 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1417 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1418 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1419 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1420 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1421 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1422 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1424 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1426 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1427 flags of individual blackberry device records

1434 - removed slow sync functions for now
1436 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1437 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1438 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1439 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1440 the base classes for all exceptions
1441 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1442 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1444 - added to Contact record class:
1446 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1447 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1448 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1456 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1458 - old and new description
1460 - bes domain / domain
1461 - date change in legal.txt
1462 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1463 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1464 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1465 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1466 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1468 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1469 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1470 - added AUTHORS file
1471 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1472 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1473 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1521 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1522 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1523 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1524 throw exception in controller.cc
1525 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1526 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1527 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1528 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1529 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1530 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1531 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1548 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1549 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1550 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1551 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1552 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1554 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1574 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1575 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1576 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1577 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1579 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1602 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1603 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1604 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1605 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1606 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1607 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1608 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1609 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1610 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1611 seem to need more time...)
1612 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1613 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1614 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1615 with Python, if used(?)
1616 - added Message class for Email records
1617 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1618 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1635 a public API function
1636 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1637 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1639 - added mode checks to Controller

1647 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1648 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1649 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1650 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1651 from the Command Table
1652 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1653 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1654 the Cassis spec more closely
1655 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1656 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1657 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1660 - added Doxyfile to the project
1662 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1663 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1664 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1666 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1667 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1668 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1669 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1671 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1672 less buffer than data copied
1673 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1674 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1675 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1676 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1678 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1679 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1681 - implemented socket::Close()
1682 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1683 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1684 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1686 - added .cvsignore files to project
1687 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1688 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1689 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1690 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1691 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1693 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1694 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1695 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1697 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1698 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1699 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1700 - regular debug output
1701 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1702 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1703 - raw data dump output
1704 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1705 numbers into english (limited success)
1706 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1707 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1708 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1709 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1710 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1711 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1712 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1713 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1714 for socket 0 operations.
1715 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1719 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1720 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1721 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1722 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1724 - syncberry tree started
