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
11 - added better error checking to breset
12 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
13 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
14 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
15 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
16 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
17 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
18 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
20 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
21 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
22 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
23 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
24 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
25 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
26 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
27 make applications look more capable, not less.
28 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
29 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
30 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
33 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
34 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
37 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
38 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
39 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
40 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
41 at the same time as usb_storage.
42 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
43 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
44 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
45 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
46 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
47 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
48 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
49 fail naturally on these devices.
50 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
52 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
53 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
55 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
56 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
58 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
60 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
61 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
62 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
63 that release package builds can be done faster
65 - opensync plugin fixes:
66 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
67 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
68 and keep track of the hierarchy when
69 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
70 - added support for searching for attributes only
71 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
72 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
74 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
75 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
76 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
77 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
78 ToBarry conversion results
79 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
81 - fixed typo in previous fix
83 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
84 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
85 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
90 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
94 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
95 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
97 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
98 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
99 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
100 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
102 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
103 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
105 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
106 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
107 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
108 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
109 without recompiling the kernel.
110 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
112 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
113 information in README files to html format, so that it
114 is commonly available on the web
115 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
116 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
118 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
119 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
122 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
123 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
124 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
125 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
126 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
127 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
128 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
129 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
130 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
131 explanatory document for various system requirements
132 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
134 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
135 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
136 for opensuse rpm builds
138 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
139 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
140 - fixed build target to i386
141 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
144 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
145 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
146 will be updated more frequently
148 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
149 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
150 configure scripts to support external build directories
151 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
152 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
153 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
154 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
155 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
158 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
159 parse the comma separated string into an array,
161 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
162 and will affect backward compatibility with
163 old serialization datafiles
164 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
165 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
167 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
168 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
170 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
171 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
172 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
173 - fixed in opensync plugin:
174 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
175 so added lower case conversion routine
176 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
177 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
178 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
179 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
181 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
182 - added status message to endpoint override
184 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
185 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
186 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
187 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
188 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
189 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
191 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
192 The description is now part of the probe results
193 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
194 a new attribute definition.
195 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
196 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
197 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
198 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
199 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
200 in order to better support SWIG and Python
202 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
203 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
204 settings automatically where possible
205 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
206 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
208 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
209 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
210 error.cc is now an empty shell
211 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
212 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
213 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
214 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
215 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
217 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
222 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
226 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
227 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
228 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
230 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
233 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
234 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
235 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
236 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
237 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
239 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
240 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
241 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
242 endian bug in the process)
243 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
244 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
245 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
246 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
247 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
248 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
249 - opensync-plugin/README update
250 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
251 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
252 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
254 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
256 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
259 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
260 for the broken-down name instead of N
261 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
262 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
263 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
264 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
265 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
266 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
267 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
268 registered two. Moving to single change commit
269 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
270 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
271 ease memory pressure in the library.
272 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
274 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
275 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
276 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
278 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
280 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
281 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
282 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
283 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
284 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
285 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
286 record into the device.... First/Last Name
287 fields are position sensitive, and the code
288 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
289 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
290 were not updated to handle the new field
291 table added for the postal address changes
294 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
295 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
296 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
297 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
298 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
299 UID strings, instead of just numbers
300 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
301 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
302 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
303 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
304 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
306 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
307 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
308 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
309 sync the wrong device and lose data.
310 Actions to take on new PIN:
311 - force slow_sync, or
313 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
314 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
315 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
316 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
318 - changed PIN error message number to hex
320 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
321 "Backup in progress..."
322 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
323 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
324 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
325 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
326 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
327 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
328 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
329 a new class called PostalAddress
330 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
331 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
332 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
333 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
335 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
337 - added vCard converter class
338 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
339 of empty attribute values and parameters,
340 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
341 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
342 an extra nth argument, in order to search
343 for multiple attributes with the same name...
344 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
345 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
346 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
349 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
350 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
351 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
352 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
356 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
357 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
358 new Barry ID would look like a new change
359 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
360 - added support for slow sync
361 - added clear() to idmap class
362 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
363 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
364 - added Notification time support
365 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
366 does not exist in a vformat data block
367 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
368 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
369 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
370 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
371 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
372 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
373 special cases in the future
375 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
377 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
378 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
379 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
381 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
382 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
383 library API that is not yet finished... will be
384 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
385 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
387 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
388 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
389 the goal is to be able to do:
390 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
392 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
393 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
394 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
395 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
397 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
398 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
400 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
402 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
403 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
405 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
406 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
407 in general use will not break on build
408 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
409 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
410 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
412 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
414 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
415 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
416 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
417 SetIds() is already there
418 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
419 and moved into record.h
420 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
422 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
423 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
424 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
425 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
427 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
429 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
430 - changes to PIN message patch:
431 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
432 - fixed tab alignment throughout
433 - removed typedef from Address struct
434 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
435 going to be a standalone type
436 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
437 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
438 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
439 backing on a field for other use
440 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
441 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
442 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
443 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
444 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
445 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
446 PIN Message so that we store both of these
449 - added item to gui/TODO
450 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
452 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
453 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
454 modified to split into the new separate files system
455 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
456 - reformatted the code to match coding style
458 - added copyright notice
459 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
460 - placed in Barry namespace
461 - added #ifdef header protectors
462 - added new files to Makefile.am
463 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
464 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
465 Brian Edginton's patch
466 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
467 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
470 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
471 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
475 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
476 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
477 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
478 linker errors with the new file layout
480 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
481 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
482 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
484 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
485 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
486 and added a command line option to turn
487 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
488 - command line option --help now also works
489 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
490 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
491 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
492 localizing the constants in one place
494 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
495 fields in Contact and Calendar records
496 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
497 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
498 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
499 Outlook from the comments.
500 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
501 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
502 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
503 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
504 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
509 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
510 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
513 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
514 based on the example plugin in the opensync
515 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
519 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
520 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
521 and then success afterward
522 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
523 - added item to gui's todo list
524 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
528 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
532 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
533 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
535 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

537 - updated maintainer/README
538 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
540 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
541 - bumped release number in barry.spec
544 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
545 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
546 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
547 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
549 - added development note to README
551 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
554 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
555 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
558 - removed some unneeded trace logs
559 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
561 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
562 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
564 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
565 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
567 - opensync module work:
568 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
569 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
570 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
571 a hard coded calendar record state table
572 - added lots of logging throughout
573 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
574 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
575 causing another sync on the next run
576 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
577 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
578 written to the Blackberry
579 - more opensync module work:
580 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
581 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
582 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
583 the environment classes
584 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
585 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
587 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
588 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
589 a sample configuration
590 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
591 on success (opensync module)
592 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
593 - allowed comments in the config file
594 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
595 routines are not available from the plugin side
598 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
599 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
600 only use idProduct, and updated man page
601 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
602 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
603 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
604 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
605 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
606 and the old search didn't always work
607 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
608 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
609 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
610 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
611 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
612 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
613 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
614 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
615 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
617 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
618 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
619 the vevent20 data (experimental)
621 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
622 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
624 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
626 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
627 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
629 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
631 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
633 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
634 FullName, even if there was no last name)
635 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
636 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
637 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
638 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
639 this special case, without relying on string length.
640 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
641 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
642 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
644 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
646 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
647 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
648 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
649 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
650 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
651 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
652 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
653 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
654 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
656 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
657 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
659 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
660 udev rules for the Pearl
661 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
663 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
664 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
665 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
666 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
667 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
668 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
669 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
670 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
671 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
672 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
673 - added license file to each package
674 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
677 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
678 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
680 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
681 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
682 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
684 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
685 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
686 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
687 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
688 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
689 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
690 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
691 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
692 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
694 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
695 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
701 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
704 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
706 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
707 device discovery code
708 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
709 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
710 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
711 than are really available... in this case, let's
712 just ignore the missing data and assume success
713 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
714 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
715 - ReleaseChecklist update
716 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
717 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
720 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
721 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
723 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
724 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
725 - added initial release maintainer scripts
726 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
727 no databases selected in configuration
728 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
729 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
730 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
731 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
732 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
734 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
735 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
736 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
737 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
738 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
739 -v now controls this as well
740 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
741 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
742 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
743 the beginning of USB conversations
744 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
745 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
746 its sequence number behaviour
747 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
748 socket 0 level command
749 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
750 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
751 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
752 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
753 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
754 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
755 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
756 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
757 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
758 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
759 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
760 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
761 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
763 - updated controller.cc:
764 - uses new socket 0 implementation
765 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
766 selecting modes, as it should use the
767 socket 0 sequence number
768 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
769 - updated some .cvsignore files
771 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
772 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
777 - moved Command() to base Packet class
778 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
779 new PasswordChallenge struct
780 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
781 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
782 password hashing logic.
783 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
785 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
786 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
787 - major LDIF overhaul:
788 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
790 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
791 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
792 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
794 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
796 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
797 notes fields were missed in old version if not
799 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
800 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
801 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
802 - large update to btool manpage
803 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
805 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
806 - removed commented code from translate.cc
807 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
808 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
809 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
810 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
811 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
812 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
813 instead of hardcoding it.
815 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
816 - minor tweaks to README
817 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
818 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
819 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
820 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
821 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
822 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
823 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
825 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
826 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
827 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
828 - added iomanip to debug.h
829 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
830 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
833 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
834 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
835 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
836 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
839 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
840 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
842 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
844 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
845 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
846 one base class: Barry::Error
847 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
848 - added BadPassword exception
854 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
855 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
856 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
857 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
858 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
859 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
860 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
862 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
863 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
864 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
865 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
866 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
869 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
870 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
872 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
873 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
874 - iostream output size fixes
875 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
876 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
877 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
878 this is still experimental
879 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
880 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
882 - uncommented the about box menu handler
883 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
884 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
885 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
887 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
888 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
889 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
890 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
891 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
892 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
893 and record objects that use it.
894 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
895 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
897 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
898 This returns the default rectype that should work
899 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
900 the device, but in the case where a database has no
901 records, this info would be good to know.
902 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
903 to use GetDefaultRecType()
904 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
905 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
906 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
907 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
908 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
909 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
910 - backup GUI updates:
911 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
912 and changed the logic so the restore continues
913 even if there was a protocol error on one database
914 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
915 i.e. Backup or Restore
916 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
917 it appears to be read-only on the device
918 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
919 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
920 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
921 supported now by the library
923 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
924 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
926 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
927 using the library should not care about endianness
928 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
929 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
931 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
933 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
935 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
937 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
938 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
939 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
941 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
942 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
943 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
945 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
946 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
947 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
948 through btool, for development
949 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
950 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
951 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
952 - finished implementation of GUI restore
953 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
954 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
955 exceptions need to be handled with
956 Glib::add_exception_handler()
957 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
958 - added pending gui/TODO items
960 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
961 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
962 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
963 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
964 when we try to write to it)
965 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
967 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
969 - updated copyright dates for the new year
970 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
971 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
972 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
973 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
975 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
976 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
977 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
978 backups only at this point
980 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
981 - added version API, returning version number and string
982 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
983 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
984 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
985 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
987 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
988 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
990 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
991 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
992 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
993 leaving the device in Desktop mode
995 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
997 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
999 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1000 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1002 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1004 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1007 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1008 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1009 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1010 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1011 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1012 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1014 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1015 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1016 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1018 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1019 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1020 a future Debian install
1021 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1022 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1023 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1024 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1026 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1027 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1028 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1029 - fixed more endian issues
1030 - minor update to TODO
1032 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1033 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1035 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1036 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1037 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1038 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1040 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1041 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1042 on old build system if wanted
1043 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1044 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1045 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1046 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1047 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1048 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1050 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1051 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1052 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1053 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1054 properly when installed standalone
1055 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1056 installed barry library
1057 - added commentary on version number system
1058 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1059 system supercedes it
1060 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1061 - added library version number to autoconf build
1062 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1063 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1064 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1065 option... may need to revisit this later
1066 - quick installation update in README
1068 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1070 - fixed endian issues in time.h

1072 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1073 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1074 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1075 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1077 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1078 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1080 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1081 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1083 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1084 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1086 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1087 uploading to device to fail
1089 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1091 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1092 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1093 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1094 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1095 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1096 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1098 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1099 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1100 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1101 exceptions leak into the C library code
1103 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1104 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1106 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1107 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1109 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1112 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1113 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1114 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1115 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1116 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1117 header of its own, in the case of email
1118 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1119 Record does not know the details of the packet
1120 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1121 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1122 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1123 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1124 the record format details, but does know the
1125 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1127 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1128 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1129 record formats being the same even with different
1130 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1131 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1132 See the header size of the email record after
1134 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1135 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1136 The Controller object does not know the format
1137 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1138 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1139 to talk to the device.
1140 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1142 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1144 - added sample hotplug scripts
1145 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1146 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1147 handle non-little-endian machines
1148 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1149 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1150 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1151 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1152 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1153 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1154 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1155 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1157 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1159 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1160 flags of individual blackberry device records
1161 - added endian macros throughout the code
1163 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1164 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1165 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1167 - removed slow sync functions for now
1169 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1170 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1171 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1172 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1173 the base classes for all exceptions
1174 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1175 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1177 - added to Contact record class:
1179 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1180 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1181 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1182 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1183 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1184 and upload it to a blackberry
1185 - updated src/.cvsignore
1187 - added parsing of service book fields:
1189 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1191 - old and new description
1193 - bes domain / domain
1194 - date change in legal.txt
1195 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1196 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1197 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1198 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1199 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1201 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1202 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1203 - added AUTHORS file
1204 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1205 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1206 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1208 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf

1217 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1218 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1219 support of the template Controller functions
1220 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1221 returning errors properly
1222 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1223 of Controller template member usage
1225 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1227 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1228 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1230 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1231 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1232 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1233 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1256 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1257 throw exception in controller.cc
1258 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1259 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1260 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1261 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.

1307 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1308 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1309 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1310 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1312 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1335 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1336 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1337 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1338 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1339 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1340 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1341 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1342 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1343 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1344 seem to need more time...)
1345 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1346 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1347 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1348 with Python, if used(?)
1349 - added Message class for Email records
1350 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1351 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1368 a public API function
1369 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1370 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1372 - added mode checks to Controller

1379 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1380 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1381 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1382 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1383 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1384 from the Command Table
1385 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1386 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1387 the Cassis spec more closely
1388 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1389 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1390 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1393 - added Doxyfile to the project
1395 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1396 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1397 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent

1400 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1401 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1402 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1405 less buffer than data copied
1406 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1407 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1408 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1409 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1411 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1412 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1414 - implemented socket::Close()
1415 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1417 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1419 - added .cvsignore files to project
1420 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1424 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1426 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1427 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1428 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1430 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1431 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1432 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1433 - regular debug output
1434 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1435 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1436 - raw data dump output
1437 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1438 numbers into english (limited success)
1439 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1440 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1441 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1442 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1443 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1444 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1445 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1446 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1447 for socket 0 operations.
1448 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1452 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1453 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1454 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1455 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1457 - syncberry tree started
