1 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/10/12
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
5 search by busname / devname
6 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
7 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
8 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
9 bus/device names, and updated the man page
10 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
11 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
12 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
13 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
15 - added better error checking to breset
16 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
17 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
18 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
19 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
20 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
21 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
22 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
24 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
25 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
26 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
27 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
28 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
29 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
30 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
31 make applications look more capable, not less.
32 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
33 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
34 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
37 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
38 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
41 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
42 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
43 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
44 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
45 at the same time as usb_storage.
46 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
47 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
48 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
49 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
50 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
51 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
52 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
53 fail naturally on these devices.
54 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
56 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
57 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
59 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
60 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
62 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
64 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
65 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
66 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
67 that release package builds can be done faster
69 - opensync plugin fixes:
70 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
71 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
72 and keep track of the hierarchy when
73 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
74 - added support for searching for attributes only
75 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
76 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
78 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
79 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
80 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
81 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
82 ToBarry conversion results
83 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
85 - fixed typo in previous fix
87 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
88 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
89 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
94 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
98 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
99 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
101 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
102 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
103 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
104 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
106 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
107 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
109 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
110 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
111 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
112 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
113 without recompiling the kernel.
114 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
116 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
117 information in README files to html format, so that it
118 is commonly available on the web
119 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
120 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
122 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
123 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
126 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
127 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
128 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
129 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
130 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
131 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
132 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
133 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
134 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
135 explanatory document for various system requirements
136 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
138 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
139 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
140 for opensuse rpm builds
142 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
143 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
144 - fixed build target to i386
145 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
148 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
149 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
150 will be updated more frequently
152 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
153 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
154 configure scripts to support external build directories
155 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
156 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
157 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
158 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
159 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
162 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
163 parse the comma separated string into an array,
165 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
166 and will affect backward compatibility with
167 old serialization datafiles
168 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
169 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
171 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
172 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
174 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
175 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
176 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
177 - fixed in opensync plugin:
178 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
179 so added lower case conversion routine
180 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
181 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
182 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
183 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
185 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
186 - added status message to endpoint override
188 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
189 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
190 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
191 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
192 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
193 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
195 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
196 The description is now part of the probe results
197 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
198 a new attribute definition.
199 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
200 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
201 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
202 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
203 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
204 in order to better support SWIG and Python
206 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
207 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
208 settings automatically where possible
209 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
210 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
212 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
213 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
214 error.cc is now an empty shell
215 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
216 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
217 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
218 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
219 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
221 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
226 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
230 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
231 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
232 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
234 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
237 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
238 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
239 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
240 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
241 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
243 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
244 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
245 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
246 endian bug in the process)
247 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
248 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
249 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
250 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
251 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
252 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
253 - opensync-plugin/README update
254 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
255 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
256 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
258 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
260 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
263 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
264 for the broken-down name instead of N
265 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
266 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
267 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
268 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
269 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
270 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
271 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
272 registered two. Moving to single change commit
273 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
274 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
275 ease memory pressure in the library.
276 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
278 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
279 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
280 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
282 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
284 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
285 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
286 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
287 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
288 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
289 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
290 record into the device.... First/Last Name
291 fields are position sensitive, and the code
292 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
293 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
294 were not updated to handle the new field
295 table added for the postal address changes
298 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
299 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
300 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
301 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
302 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
303 UID strings, instead of just numbers
304 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
305 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
306 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
307 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
308 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
310 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
311 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
312 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
313 sync the wrong device and lose data.
314 Actions to take on new PIN:
315 - force slow_sync, or
317 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
318 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
319 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
320 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
322 - changed PIN error message number to hex
324 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
325 "Backup in progress..."
326 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
327 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
328 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
329 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
330 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
331 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
332 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
333 a new class called PostalAddress
334 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
335 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
336 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
337 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
339 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
341 - added vCard converter class
342 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
343 of empty attribute values and parameters,
344 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
345 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
346 an extra nth argument, in order to search
347 for multiple attributes with the same name...
348 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
349 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
350 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
353 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
354 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
355 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
356 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
360 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
361 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
362 new Barry ID would look like a new change
363 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
364 - added support for slow sync
365 - added clear() to idmap class
366 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
367 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
368 - added Notification time support
369 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
370 does not exist in a vformat data block
371 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
372 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
373 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
374 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
375 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
376 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
377 special cases in the future
379 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
381 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
382 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
383 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
385 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
386 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
387 library API that is not yet finished... will be
388 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
389 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
391 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
392 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
393 the goal is to be able to do:
394 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
396 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
397 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
398 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
399 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
401 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
402 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
404 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
406 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
407 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
409 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
410 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
411 in general use will not break on build
412 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
413 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
414 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
416 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
418 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
419 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
420 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
421 SetIds() is already there
422 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
423 and moved into record.h
424 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
426 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
427 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
428 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
429 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
431 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
433 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
434 - changes to PIN message patch:
435 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
436 - fixed tab alignment throughout
437 - removed typedef from Address struct
438 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
439 going to be a standalone type
440 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
441 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
442 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
443 backing on a field for other use
444 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
445 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
446 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
447 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
448 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
449 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
450 PIN Message so that we store both of these
453 - added item to gui/TODO
454 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
456 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
457 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
458 modified to split into the new separate files system
459 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
460 - reformatted the code to match coding style
462 - added copyright notice
463 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
464 - placed in Barry namespace
465 - added #ifdef header protectors
466 - added new files to Makefile.am
467 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
468 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
469 Brian Edginton's patch
470 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
471 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
474 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
475 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
479 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
480 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
481 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
482 linker errors with the new file layout
484 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
485 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
486 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
488 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
489 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
490 and added a command line option to turn
491 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
492 - command line option --help now also works
493 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
494 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
495 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
496 localizing the constants in one place
498 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
499 fields in Contact and Calendar records
500 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
501 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
502 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
503 Outlook from the comments.
504 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
505 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
506 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
507 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
508 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
513 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
514 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
517 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
518 based on the example plugin in the opensync
519 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
523 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
524 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
525 and then success afterward
526 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
527 - added item to gui's todo list
528 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
532 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
536 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
537 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
539 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
540 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
541 - updated maintainer/README
542 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
544 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
545 - bumped release number in barry.spec
548 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
549 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
550 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
551 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
553 - added development note to README
555 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
558 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
559 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
562 - removed some unneeded trace logs
563 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
565 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
566 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
568 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
569 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
571 - opensync module work:
572 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
573 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
574 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
575 a hard coded calendar record state table
576 - added lots of logging throughout
577 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
578 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
579 causing another sync on the next run
580 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
581 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
582 written to the Blackberry
583 - more opensync module work:
584 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
585 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
586 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
587 the environment classes
588 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
589 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
591 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
592 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
593 a sample configuration
594 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
595 on success (opensync module)
596 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
597 - allowed comments in the config file
598 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
599 routines are not available from the plugin side
602 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
603 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
604 only use idProduct, and updated man page
605 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
606 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
607 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
608 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
609 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
610 and the old search didn't always work
611 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
612 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
613 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
614 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
615 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
616 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
617 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
618 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
619 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
621 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
622 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
623 the vevent20 data (experimental)
625 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
626 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
628 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
630 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
631 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
633 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
635 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
637 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
638 FullName, even if there was no last name)
639 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
640 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
641 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
642 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
643 this special case, without relying on string length.
644 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
645 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
646 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
648 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
650 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
651 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
652 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
653 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
654 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
655 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
656 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
657 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
658 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
660 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
661 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
663 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
664 udev rules for the Pearl
665 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
667 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
668 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
669 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
670 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
671 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
672 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
673 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
674 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
675 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
676 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
677 - added license file to each package
678 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
681 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
682 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
684 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
685 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
686 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
688 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
689 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
690 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
691 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
692 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
693 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
694 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
695 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
696 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
698 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
699 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
705 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
708 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
710 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
711 device discovery code
712 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
713 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
714 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
715 than are really available... in this case, let's
716 just ignore the missing data and assume success
717 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
718 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
719 - ReleaseChecklist update
720 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
721 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
724 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
725 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
727 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
728 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
729 - added initial release maintainer scripts
730 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
731 no databases selected in configuration
732 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
733 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
734 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
735 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
736 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
738 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
739 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
740 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
741 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
742 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
743 -v now controls this as well
744 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
745 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
746 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
747 the beginning of USB conversations
748 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
749 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
750 its sequence number behaviour
751 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
752 socket 0 level command
753 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
754 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
755 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
756 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
757 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
758 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
759 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
760 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
761 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
762 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
763 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
764 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
765 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
767 - updated controller.cc:
768 - uses new socket 0 implementation
769 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
770 selecting modes, as it should use the
771 socket 0 sequence number
772 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
773 - updated some .cvsignore files
775 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
776 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
781 - moved Command() to base Packet class
782 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
783 new PasswordChallenge struct
784 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
785 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
786 password hashing logic.
787 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
789 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
790 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
791 - major LDIF overhaul:
792 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
794 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
795 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
796 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
798 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
800 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
801 notes fields were missed in old version if not
803 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
804 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
805 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
806 - large update to btool manpage
807 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
809 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
810 - removed commented code from translate.cc
811 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
812 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
813 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
814 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
815 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
816 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
817 instead of hardcoding it.
819 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
820 - minor tweaks to README
821 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
822 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
823 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
824 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
825 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
826 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
827 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
829 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
830 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
831 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
832 - added iomanip to debug.h
833 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
834 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
837 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
838 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
839 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
840 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
843 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
844 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
846 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
848 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
849 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
850 one base class: Barry::Error
851 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
852 - added BadPassword exception
858 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
859 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
860 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
861 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
862 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
863 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
864 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
866 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
867 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
868 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
869 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
870 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
873 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
874 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
876 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
877 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
878 - iostream output size fixes
879 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
880 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
881 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
882 this is still experimental
883 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
884 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
886 - uncommented the about box menu handler
887 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
888 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
889 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
891 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
892 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
893 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
894 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
895 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
896 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
897 and record objects that use it.
898 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
899 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
901 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
902 This returns the default rectype that should work
903 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
904 the device, but in the case where a database has no
905 records, this info would be good to know.
906 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
907 to use GetDefaultRecType()
908 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
909 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
910 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
911 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
912 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
913 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
914 - backup GUI updates:
915 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
916 and changed the logic so the restore continues
917 even if there was a protocol error on one database
918 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
919 i.e. Backup or Restore
920 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
921 it appears to be read-only on the device
922 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
923 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
924 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
925 supported now by the library
927 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
928 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
930 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
931 using the library should not care about endianness
932 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
933 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
935 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
937 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
939 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
941 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
942 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
943 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
945 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
946 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
947 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
949 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
950 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
951 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
952 through btool, for development
953 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
954 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
955 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
956 - finished implementation of GUI restore
957 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
958 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
959 exceptions need to be handled with
960 Glib::add_exception_handler()
961 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
962 - added pending gui/TODO items
964 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
965 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
966 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
967 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
968 when we try to write to it)
969 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
971 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
973 - updated copyright dates for the new year
974 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
975 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
976 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
977 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
979 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
980 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
981 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
982 backups only at this point
984 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
985 - added version API, returning version number and string
986 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
987 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
988 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
989 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
991 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
992 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
994 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
995 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
996 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
997 leaving the device in Desktop mode
999 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1001 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1003 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1004 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1006 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1008 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1011 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1012 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1013 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1014 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1015 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1016 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1018 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1019 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1020 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1022 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1023 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1024 a future Debian install
1025 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1026 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1027 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1028 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1030 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1031 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1032 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1033 - fixed more endian issues
1034 - minor update to TODO
1036 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1037 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1039 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1040 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1041 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1042 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1044 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1045 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1046 on old build system if wanted
1047 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1048 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1049 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1050 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1051 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1052 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1054 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1055 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1056 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1057 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1058 properly when installed standalone
1059 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1060 installed barry library
1061 - added commentary on version number system
1062 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1063 system supercedes it
1064 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1065 - added library version number to autoconf build
1066 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1067 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1068 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1069 option... may need to revisit this later
1070 - quick installation update in README
1072 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1074 - fixed endian issues in time.h

1076 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1077 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1078 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1079 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1081 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750

1085 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1087 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1088 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1090 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1091 uploading to device to fail
1093 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1095 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1096 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1097 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1098 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1099 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1100 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1102 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1103 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1104 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1105 exceptions leak into the C library code
1107 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1108 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1110 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1111 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1113 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1116 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1117 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1118 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1119 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1120 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1121 header of its own, in the case of email
1122 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1123 Record does not know the details of the packet
1124 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1125 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1126 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1127 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1128 the record format details, but does know the
1129 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1131 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1132 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1133 record formats being the same even with different
1134 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1135 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1136 See the header size of the email record after
1138 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1139 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1140 The Controller object does not know the format
1141 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1142 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1143 to talk to the device.
1144 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1146 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1148 - added sample hotplug scripts
1149 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1150 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1151 handle non-little-endian machines
1152 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1153 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1154 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1155 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1156 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1157 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1158 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1159 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1161 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1163 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1164 flags of individual blackberry device records
1165 - added endian macros throughout the code
1167 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1168 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1169 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1171 - removed slow sync functions for now
1173 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1174 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1175 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1176 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1177 the base classes for all exceptions
1178 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1179 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1181 - added to Contact record class:
1183 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1184 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1185 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1186 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1187 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1188 and upload it to a blackberry
1189 - updated src/.cvsignore
1191 - added parsing of service book fields:
1193 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1195 - old and new description
1197 - bes domain / domain
1198 - date change in legal.txt
1199 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1200 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1201 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1202 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1203 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1205 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1206 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1207 - added AUTHORS file
1208 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1209 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1210 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1212 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf

1222 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1223 support of the template Controller functions
1224 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1225 returning errors properly
1226 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1227 of Controller template member usage
1229 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1231 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1232 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1235 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1236 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1237 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1260 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1261 throw exception in controller.cc
1262 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1263 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1264 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1265 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1266 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1267 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions

1311 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1312 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1313 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1314 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1316 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1339 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1340 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1341 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1342 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1343 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1344 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1345 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1346 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1347 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1348 seem to need more time...)
1349 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1350 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1351 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1352 with Python, if used(?)
1353 - added Message class for Email records
1354 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1355 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1372 a public API function
1373 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1374 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1376 - added mode checks to Controller

1384 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1385 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1386 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1387 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1388 from the Command Table
1389 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1390 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1391 the Cassis spec more closely
1392 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing

1394 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1397 - added Doxyfile to the project
1399 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1400 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1401 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent

1404 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1405 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1406 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1409 less buffer than data copied
1410 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1411 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1412 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1413 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1415 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1416 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1418 - implemented socket::Close()
1419 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1421 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1423 - added .cvsignore files to project
1424 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1428 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1430 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1431 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1432 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1434 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1435 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1436 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1437 - regular debug output
1438 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1439 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1440 - raw data dump output
1441 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1442 numbers into english (limited success)
1443 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1444 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1445 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1446 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1447 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1448 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1449 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1450 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1451 for socket 0 operations.
1452 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1456 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1457 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1458 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1459 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1461 - syncberry tree started
