1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2008/05/09
4 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
5 0.13 release
6 2008/05/02
7 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
8 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
9 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
10 I'm looking at you...)
11 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
12 if no command line arguments are specified
13 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
14 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
15 2008/05/01
16 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
17 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
18 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
19 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
20 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
21 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
22 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
23 like a null terminated string... also added more
24 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
25 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
26 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
27 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
28 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
29 on database records, for testing
30 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
31 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
32 which completes builder support
33 Checksums from the following commands now match:
34 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
35 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
36 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
37 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
38 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
39 2008/04/29
40 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
41 work again... Thanks!
42 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
43 - updated AUTHORS
44 2008/04/26
45 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
46 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
47 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
48 2008/04/25
49 - updated NEWS file
50 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
51 to Controller
52 2008/04/25

180 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
182 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
183 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
184 2008/03/21
185 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
186 to avoid the CVS directories
187 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
188 diff.gz and dsc files
189 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
190 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
191 scripts
192 2008/03/13
193 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
194 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
195 real opensync libraries
196 2008/03/07
197 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
198 building RPM's from CVS
199 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included

201 on ./configure command line
202 2008/03/06
203 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
204 so that the database name is stored as the first line
205 of the file
206 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
207 written by btool

216 2008/02/28
217 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
218 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
219 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
220 - updated AUTHORS file
221 2008/02/22
222 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
223 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
224 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
225 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
226 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
227 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
228 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
229 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
230 2008/01/25

250 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
251 2007/12/01
252 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
253 - added pause to maintainer release script
254 2007/11/30
255 - version bump:
256 - configure.ac
257 - src/Makefile.am
258 - src/version.cc
259 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
260 - src/Doxygen
261 - rpm/barry.spec
262 - debian/changelog
263 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
265 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
266 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
267 2007/11/30
268 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
269 search by busname / devname
270 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
271 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
272 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
273 bus/device names, and updated the man page
274 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
275 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
276 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
277 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
278 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
279 spec file for opensuse
280 2007/11/29
281 - added better error checking to breset
282 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
283 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
284 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
285 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
286 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
287 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
288 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
289 is loaded!
290 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
291 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
292 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
293 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
294 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
295 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
296 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
297 make applications look more capable, not less.
298 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
299 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
300 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
301 they are so verbose
302 2007/11/27
303 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
304 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
305 to need this
306 2007/11/23
307 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
308 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
309 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
310 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
311 at the same time as usb_storage.
312 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
313 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
314 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
315 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
316 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
317 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
318 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
319 fail naturally on these devices.
320 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
321 2007/11/09
322 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
323 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
324 suggestion.
325 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
326 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
327 - AUTHORS update
328 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
329 opensync plugin
330 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
331 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
332 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
333 that release package builds can be done faster
334 2007/10/26
335 - opensync plugin fixes:
336 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
337 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
338 and keep track of the hierarchy when
339 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
340 - added support for searching for attributes only
341 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
342 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
343 2007/10/25
344 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
345 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
346 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
347 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
348 ToBarry conversion results
349 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
350 mktime, in vformat.c
351 - fixed typo in previous fix
352 2007/10/12
353 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
354 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
355 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
356 - version bump:
357 - configure.ac
358 - src/Makefile.am
359 - src/version.cc
360 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
361 - src/Doxygen
362 - rpm/barry.spec
363 - debian/changelog
364 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
365 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
366 the opensync plugin
367 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
368 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
369 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
370 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
372 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
373 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
374 2007/09/29
375 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
376 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
377 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
378 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
379 without recompiling the kernel.
380 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
381 2007/09/27
382 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
383 information in README files to html format, so that it
384 is commonly available on the web
385 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
386 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
387 2007/09/22
388 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
389 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
390 needed.... hmmmm
391 2007/09/21
392 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
393 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
394 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
395 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
396 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
397 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
398 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
399 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
400 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
401 explanatory document for various system requirements
402 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
403 2007/09/20
404 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
405 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
406 for opensuse rpm builds
407 2007/09/13
408 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
409 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
410 - fixed build target to i386
411 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
412 of overwriting it
413 2007/09/07
414 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
415 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
416 will be updated more frequently
417 2007/09/05
418 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
419 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
420 configure scripts to support external build directories
421 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
422 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
423 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
424 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
425 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
426 maintainer script
427 2007/08/24
428 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
429 parse the comma separated string into an array,
430 and back
431 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
432 and will affect backward compatibility with
433 old serialization datafiles
434 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
435 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
436 2007/08/23
437 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
438 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
439 to throw it on error
440 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
441 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
442 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
443 - fixed in opensync plugin:
444 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
445 so added lower case conversion routine
446 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
447 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
448 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
449 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
450 2007/08/20
451 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
452 - added status message to endpoint override
453 2007/08/18
454 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
455 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
456 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
457 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
458 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
459 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
460 the gory details.
461 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
462 The description is now part of the probe results
463 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
464 a new attribute definition.
465 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
466 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
467 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
468 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
469 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
470 in order to better support SWIG and Python
471 2007/08/17
472 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
473 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
474 settings automatically where possible
475 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
476 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
477 2007/08/16
478 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
479 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
480 error.cc is now an empty shell
481 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
482 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
483 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
484 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
485 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
486 2007/08/09
487 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
488 - version bump:
489 - configure.ac
490 - src/Makefile.am
491 - src/version.cc
492 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
493 - src/Doxygen
494 - rpm/barry.spec
495 - debian/changelog
496 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
497 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
498 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
500 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
501 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
502 2007/08/03
503 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
504 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
505 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
506 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
507 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
508 devices
509 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
510 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
511 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
512 endian bug in the process)
513 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
514 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
515 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
516 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
517 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
518 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
519 - opensync-plugin/README update
520 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
521 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
522 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
523 2007/08/01
524 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
525 2007/07/28
526 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
527 2007/07/27
528 - opensync plugin:
529 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
530 for the broken-down name instead of N
531 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
532 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
533 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
534 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
535 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
536 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
537 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
538 registered two. Moving to single change commit
539 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
540 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
541 ease memory pressure in the library.
542 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
543 syncing completion
544 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
545 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
546 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
547 2007/07/26
548 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
549 requiring a file
550 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
551 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
552 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
553 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
554 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
555 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
556 record into the device.... First/Last Name
557 fields are position sensitive, and the code
558 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
559 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
560 were not updated to handle the new field
561 table added for the postal address changes
562 on 2007/07/20, oops
563 - opensync plugin:
564 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
565 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
566 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
567 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
568 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
569 UID strings, instead of just numbers
570 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
571 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
572 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
573 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
574 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
575 automatically
576 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
577 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
578 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
579 sync the wrong device and lose data.
580 Actions to take on new PIN:
581 - force slow_sync, or
582 - fail
583 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
584 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
585 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
586 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
587 and didn't write
588 - changed PIN error message number to hex
589 2007/07/20
590 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
591 "Backup in progress..."
592 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
593 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
594 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
595 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
596 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
597 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
598 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
599 a new class called PostalAddress
600 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
601 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
602 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
603 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
604 - opensync plugin:
605 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
606 called vBase
607 - added vCard converter class
608 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
609 of empty attribute values and parameters,
610 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
611 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
612 an extra nth argument, in order to search
613 for multiple attributes with the same name...
614 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
615 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
616 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
617 pain
618 2007/07/19
619 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
620 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
621 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
622 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
623 Blackberries.
624 2007/07/14
625 - opensync plugin:
626 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
627 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
628 new Barry ID would look like a new change
629 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
630 - added support for slow sync
631 - added clear() to idmap class
632 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
633 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
634 - added Notification time support
635 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
636 does not exist in a vformat data block
637 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
638 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
639 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
640 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
641 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
642 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
643 special cases in the future
644 2007/07/13
645 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
646 2007/07/12
647 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
648 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
649 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
650 2007/07/06
651 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
652 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
653 library API that is not yet finished... will be
654 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
655 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
656 2007/06/29
657 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
658 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
659 the goal is to be able to do:
660 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
661 mutt -f email.mbox
662 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
663 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
664 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
665 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
666 2007/06/28
667 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
668 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
669 in configure.ac
670 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
671 2007/06/21
672 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
673 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
674 2007/06/14
675 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
676 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
677 in general use will not break on build
678 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
679 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
680 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
681 2007/06/08
682 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
683 dependency
684 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
685 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
686 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
687 SetIds() is already there
688 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
689 and moved into record.h
690 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
691 be more mbox-like
692 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
693 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
694 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
695 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
696 2007/06/07
697 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
698 2007/06/06
699 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
700 - changes to PIN message patch:
701 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
702 - fixed tab alignment throughout
703 - removed typedef from Address struct
704 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
705 going to be a standalone type
706 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
707 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
708 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
709 backing on a field for other use
710 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
711 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
712 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
713 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
714 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
715 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
716 PIN Message so that we store both of these
717 - updated AUTHORS
718 2007/05/27
719 - added item to gui/TODO
720 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
721 2007/05/25
722 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
723 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
724 modified to split into the new separate files system
725 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
726 - reformatted the code to match coding style
727 (come on Brian) :-)
728 - added copyright notice
729 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
730 - placed in Barry namespace
731 - added #ifdef header protectors
732 - added new files to Makefile.am
733 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
734 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
735 Brian Edginton's patch
736 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
737 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
738 - updated AUTHORS
739 2007/05/24
740 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
741 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
742 - ClassFlag
743 - FreeBusyFlag
744 - Clear() fixes
745 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
746 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
747 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
748 linker errors with the new file layout
749 2007/05/17
750 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
751 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
752 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
753 - backup gui:
754 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
755 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
756 and added a command line option to turn
757 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
758 - command line option --help now also works
759 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
760 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
761 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
762 localizing the constants in one place
763 2007/05/11
764 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
765 fields in Contact and Calendar records
766 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
767 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
768 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
769 Outlook from the comments.
770 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
771 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
772 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
773 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
774 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
775 libbarry
776 libbarry-dev
777 barry-util
778 barrybackup-gui
779 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
780 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
781 small on Debian Etch
782 - opensync plugin:
783 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
784 based on the example plugin in the opensync
785 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
786 is incomplete
787 2007/05/04
788 - opensync plugin:
789 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
790 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
791 and then success afterward
792 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
793 - added item to gui's todo list
794 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
795 - configure.ac
796 - src/Makefile.am
797 - src/version.cc
798 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
799 - src/Doxygen
800 - rpm/barry*.spec
802 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
803 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
804 2007/05/02
805 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

809 2007/05/01
810 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
811 - bumped release number in barry.spec
812 2007/04/30
813 - opensync plugin:
814 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
815 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
816 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
817 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
818 xml data format...
819 - added development note to README
820 2007/04/29
821 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
822 build instructions
823 - opensync plugin:
824 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
825 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
826 2007/04/27
827 - opensync module:
828 - removed some unneeded trace logs
829 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
830 m_Data pointer
831 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
832 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
833 if empty
834 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
835 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
836 2007/04/26
837 - opensync module work:
838 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
839 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
840 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
841 a hard coded calendar record state table
842 - added lots of logging throughout
843 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
844 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
845 causing another sync on the next run
846 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
847 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
848 written to the Blackberry
849 - more opensync module work:
850 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
851 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
852 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
853 the environment classes
854 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
855 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
856 2007/04/20
857 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
858 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
859 a sample configuration
860 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
861 on success (opensync module)
862 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
863 - allowed comments in the config file
864 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
865 routines are not available from the plugin side
866 2007/04/19
867 - updated gui/TODO
868 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
869 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
870 only use idProduct, and updated man page
871 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
872 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
873 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
874 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
875 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
876 and the old search didn't always work
877 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
878 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
879 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
880 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
881 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
882 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
883 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
884 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
885 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
886 search at 0
887 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
888 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
889 the vevent20 data (experimental)
890 2007/04/04
891 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
892 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
893 2007/03/30
894 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
895 if found
896 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
897 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
898 of the project
899 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
900 2007/03/29
901 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
902 - updated AUTHORS
903 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
904 FullName, even if there was no last name)
905 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
906 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
907 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
908 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
909 this special case, without relying on string length.
910 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
911 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
912 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
913 2007/03/17
914 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
915 2007/03/16
916 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
917 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
918 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
919 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
920 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
921 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
922 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
923 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
924 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
925 in some cases
926 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
927 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
928 2007/03/08
929 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
930 udev rules for the Pearl
931 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
932 functionality
933 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
934 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
935 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
936 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
937 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
938 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
939 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
940 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
941 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
942 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
943 - added license file to each package
944 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
945 discussion
946 - updated AUTHORS
947 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
948 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
949 for the bug report
950 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
951 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
952 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
953 user.
954 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
955 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
956 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
957 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
958 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
959 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
960 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
961 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
962 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
963 as a guide
964 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
965 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
966 2007/03/02
967 - version bump in:
968 - configure.ac
969 - src/Makefile.am
970 - src/version.cc
971 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
972 - src/Doxyfile
973 - rpm/barry.spec
974 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
975 for it
976 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
977 device discovery code
978 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
979 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
980 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
981 than are really available... in this case, let's
982 just ignore the missing data and assume success
983 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
984 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
985 - ReleaseChecklist update
986 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
987 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
988 dependency
990 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
991 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
992 2007/02/28
993 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
994 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
995 - added initial release maintainer scripts
996 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
997 no databases selected in configuration
998 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
999 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1000 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1001 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1002 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1003 2007/02/23
1004 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1005 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1006 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1007 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1008 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1009 -v now controls this as well
1010 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1011 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1012 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1013 the beginning of USB conversations
1014 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1015 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1016 its sequence number behaviour
1017 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1018 socket 0 level command
1019 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1020 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1021 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1022 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1023 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1024 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1025 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1026 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1027 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1028 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1029 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1030 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1031 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1032 of socket 0 packets
1033 - updated controller.cc:
1034 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1035 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1036 selecting modes, as it should use the
1037 socket 0 sequence number
1038 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1039 - updated some .cvsignore files
1040 - updated TODO
1041 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1042 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1043 - ChallengeSeed()
1044 - RemainingTries()
1045 - SocketResponse()
1046 - SocketSqeuence()
1047 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1048 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1049 new PasswordChallenge struct
1050 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1051 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1052 password hashing logic.
1053 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1054 2007/02/22
1055 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1056 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1057 - major LDIF overhaul:
1058 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1059 into its own
1060 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1061 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1062 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1063 contact field names
1064 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1065 if necessary
1066 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1067 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1068 encoded
1069 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1070 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1071 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1072 - large update to btool manpage
1073 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1074 2007/02/15
1075 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1076 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1077 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1078 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1079 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1080 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1081 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1082 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1083 instead of hardcoding it.
1084 2007/02/10
1085 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1086 - minor tweaks to README
1087 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1088 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1089 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1090 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1091 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1092 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1093 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1094 2007/02/09
1095 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1096 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1097 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1098 - added iomanip to debug.h
1099 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1100 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1101 2007/02/04
1102 - updated AUTHORS
1103 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1104 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1105 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1106 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1107 from Ian Darwin
1108 2007/02/03
1109 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1110 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1111 - updated AUTHORS
1112 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1113 2007/02/02
1114 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1115 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1116 one base class: Barry::Error
1117 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1118 - added BadPassword exception
1119 2007/02/01
1120 - version bump in:
1121 - configure.ac
1122 - src/Makefile.am
1123 - src/version.cc
1124 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1125 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1126 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1127 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1128 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1129 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1130 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1131 in the future.
1132 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1133 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1134 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1135 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1136 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1137 due to pending reads
1139 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1140 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1141 2007/01/26
1142 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1143 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1144 - iostream output size fixes
1145 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1146 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1147 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1148 this is still experimental
1149 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1150 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1151 Debian stable
1152 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1153 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1154 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1155 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1156 2007/01/25
1157 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1158 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1159 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1160 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1161 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1162 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1163 and record objects that use it.
1164 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1165 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1166 32 bits
1167 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1168 This returns the default rectype that should work
1169 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1170 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1171 records, this info would be good to know.
1172 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1173 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1174 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1175 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1176 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1177 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1178 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1179 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1180 - backup GUI updates:
1181 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1182 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1183 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1184 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1185 i.e. Backup or Restore
1186 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1187 it appears to be read-only on the device
1188 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1189 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1190 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1191 supported now by the library
1192 2007/01/21
1193 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1194 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1195 - changes to patch:
1196 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1197 using the library should not care about endianness
1198 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1199 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1200 install
1201 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1202 for the same reason
1203 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1204 Version call instead
1205 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1206 - updated AUTHORS
1207 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1208 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1209 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1210 2007/01/20
1211 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1212 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1213 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1214 some older devices
1215 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1216 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1217 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1218 through btool, for development
1219 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1220 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1221 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1222 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1223 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1224 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1225 exceptions need to be handled with
1226 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1227 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1228 - added pending gui/TODO items
1229 2007/01/19
1230 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1231 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1232 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1233 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1234 when we try to write to it)
1235 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1236 2007/01/18
1237 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1238 2007/01/13
1239 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1240 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1241 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1242 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1243 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1244 - updated README
1245 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1246 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1247 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1248 backups only at this point
1249 2007/01/11
1250 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1251 - added version API, returning version number and string
1252 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1253 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1254 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1255 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1256 2007/01/05
1257 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1258 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1259 in probe.h)
1260 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1261 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1262 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1263 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1264 2007/01/04
1265 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1266 different rules
1267 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1268 USB product ID 6
1269 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1270 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1271 2006/12/29
1272 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1274 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1275 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1276 2006/12/29
1277 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1278 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1279 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1280 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1281 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1282 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1283 depend on.
1284 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1285 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1286 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1287 package scripts
1288 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1289 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1290 a future Debian install
1291 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1292 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1293 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1294 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1295 2006/12/21
1296 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1297 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1298 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1299 - fixed more endian issues
1300 - minor update to TODO
1301 2006/12/15
1302 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1303 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1304 2006/12/08
1305 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1306 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1307 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1308 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1309 2006/12/07
1310 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1311 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1312 on old build system if wanted
1313 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1314 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1315 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1316 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1317 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1318 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1319 use only
1320 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1321 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1322 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1323 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1324 properly when installed standalone
1325 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1326 installed barry library
1327 - added commentary on version number system
1328 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1329 system supercedes it
1330 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1331 - added library version number to autoconf build
1332 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1333 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1334 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1335 option... may need to revisit this later
1336 - quick installation update in README
1337 2006/12/01
1338 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1339 some size checks
1340 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1341 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1342 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1343 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1344 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1345 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1346 2006/11/24
1347 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1348 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1350 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1351 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1352 2006/11/23
1353 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1354 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1355 from any int
1356 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1357 uploading to device to fail
1358 2006/11/10

1364 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1365 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1366 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1367 at once
1368 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1369 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1370 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1371 exceptions leak into the C library code
1373 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1374 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1375 2006/10/12
1376 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1377 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1378 2006/09/29
1379 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1380 the bug report
1381 2006/09/08
1382 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1383 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1384 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1385 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1386 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1387 header of its own, in the case of email
1388 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1389 Record does not know the details of the packet
1390 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1391 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1392 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1393 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1394 the record format details, but does know the
1395 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1396 packet format.
1397 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1398 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1399 record formats being the same even with different
1400 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1401 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1402 See the header size of the email record after
1403 refactoring.
1404 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1405 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1406 The Controller object does not know the format
1407 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1408 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1409 to talk to the device.
1410 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1411 we come!
1412 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1413 2006/09/01
1414 - added sample hotplug scripts
1415 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1416 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1417 handle non-little-endian machines
1418 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1419 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1420 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1421 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1422 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1423 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1424 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1425 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1426 engineered.
1427 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1428 for smarter syncing
1429 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1430 flags of individual blackberry device records
1431 - added endian macros throughout the code
1432 2006/07/13
1433 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1434 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1435 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1436 for development)
1437 - removed slow sync functions for now
1438 2006/07/07
1439 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1440 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1441 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1442 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1443 the base classes for all exceptions
1444 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1445 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1446 2006/06/22
1447 - added to Contact record class:
1448 - Clear()
1449 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1450 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1451 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1452 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1453 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1454 and upload it to a blackberry
1455 - updated src/.cvsignore
1456 2006/06/16
1457 - added parsing of service book fields:
1458 - old and new name
1459 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1460 - content ID (CID)
1461 - old and new description
1462 - DSID
1463 - bes domain / domain
1464 - date change in legal.txt
1465 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1466 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1467 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1468 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1469 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1470 2006/06/09
1471 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1472 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1473 - added AUTHORS file
1474 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1475 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1476 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1477 2006/05/25
1478 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1479 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1480 2006/05/18
1481 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1482 2006/03/31
1483 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1484 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1485 to the Controller class
1486 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1487 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1488 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1489 support of the template Controller functions
1490 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1491 returning errors properly
1492 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1493 of Controller template member usage
1494 2006/03/29
1495 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1496 2006/01/05
1497 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1498 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1499 2005/12/30
1500 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1501 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1502 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1503 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1504 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1505 constants... constants are now removed
1506 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1507 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1508 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree
1509 - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree

1515 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1516 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1517 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1518 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1519 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in

1522 2005/12/23
1523 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1524 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1525 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1526 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1527 throw exception in controller.cc
1528 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1529 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1530 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1531 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1532 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1533 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1534 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1542 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1543 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1544 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
1545 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
1546 this obsolete)
1547 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
1548 2005/12/10
1549 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
1550 - added boost::serialization to build
1551 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1552 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1553 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1554 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1555 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1556 properly serialized
1557 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1558 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1559 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld

1577 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1578 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1579 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1580 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1582 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1604 2005/11/19
1605 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1606 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1607 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1608 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1609 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1610 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1611 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1612 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1613 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1614 seem to need more time...)
1615 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1616 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1617 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1618 with Python, if used(?)
1619 - added Message class for Email records
1620 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1621 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1622 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1623 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1624 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1625 - cleaned up comments

1635 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1636 better suited to its general API purpose
1637 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1638 a public API function
1639 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1640 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1641 the command line
1642 - added mode checks to Controller
1643 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1644 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1645 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1646 file based
1647 2005/11/18

1649 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1650 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1651 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1652 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1653 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1654 from the Command Table
1655 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1656 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1657 the Cassis spec more closely
1658 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1659 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1660 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1661 destructors
1662 2005/11/17
1663 - added Doxyfile to the project
1664 - tuned Makefile
1665 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1666 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1667 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1668 data transfers.
1669 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1670 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1671 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1672 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1673 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1674 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1675 less buffer than data copied
1676 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1677 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1678 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1679 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1680 data
1681 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1682 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1683 saved
1684 - implemented socket::Close()
1685 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1686 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1687 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1688 2005/11/11
1689 - added .cvsignore files to project
1690 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1691 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1692 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1693 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1694 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1695 -l = list only
1696 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1697 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1698 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1699 results
1700 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1701 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1702 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1703 - regular debug output
1704 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1705 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1706 - raw data dump output
1707 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1708 numbers into english (limited success)
1709 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1710 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1711 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1712 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1713 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1714 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1715 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1716 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1717 for socket 0 operations.
1718 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1719 MAKE_PACKET()
1720 COMMAND()
1721 IS_COMMAND()
1722 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1723 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1724 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1725 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1726 2005/10/20
1727 - syncberry tree started
