1 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
5 to avoid the CVS directories
6 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
8 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
9 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
12 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
13 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
14 real opensync libraries
16 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
17 building RPM's from CVS
18 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
19 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
20 on ./configure command line
22 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
23 so that the database name is stored as the first line
25 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
27 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
28 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
30 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
31 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
33 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
34 Paul Dugas for the tip
36 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
37 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
39 - updated AUTHORS file
41 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
42 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
43 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
44 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
45 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
46 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
47 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
48 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
50 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
51 - updated copyright statments for 2008
53 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
55 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
56 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
61 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
65 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
68 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
69 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
71 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
72 - added pause to maintainer release script
78 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
82 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
84 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
85 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
87 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
88 search by busname / devname
89 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
90 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
91 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
92 bus/device names, and updated the man page
93 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
94 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
95 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
96 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
97 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
98 spec file for opensuse
100 - added better error checking to breset
101 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
102 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
103 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
104 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
105 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
106 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
107 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
109 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
110 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
111 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
112 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
113 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
114 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
115 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
116 make applications look more capable, not less.
117 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
118 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
119 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
122 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
123 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
126 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
127 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
128 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
129 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
130 at the same time as usb_storage.
131 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
132 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
133 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
134 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
135 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
136 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
137 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
138 fail naturally on these devices.
139 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
141 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
142 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
144 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
145 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
147 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
149 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
150 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
151 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
152 that release package builds can be done faster
154 - opensync plugin fixes:
155 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
156 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
157 and keep track of the hierarchy when
158 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
159 - added support for searching for attributes only
160 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
161 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
163 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
164 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
165 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
166 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
167 ToBarry conversion results
168 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
170 - fixed typo in previous fix
172 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
173 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
174 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
179 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
183 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
184 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
186 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
187 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
188 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
189 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
191 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
192 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
194 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
195 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
196 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
197 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
198 without recompiling the kernel.
199 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
201 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
202 information in README files to html format, so that it
203 is commonly available on the web
204 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
205 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
207 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
208 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
211 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
212 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
213 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
214 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
215 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
216 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
217 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
218 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
219 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
220 explanatory document for various system requirements
221 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
223 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
224 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
225 for opensuse rpm builds
227 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
228 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
229 - fixed build target to i386
230 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
233 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
234 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
235 will be updated more frequently
237 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
238 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
239 configure scripts to support external build directories
240 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
241 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
242 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
243 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
244 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
247 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
248 parse the comma separated string into an array,
250 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
251 and will affect backward compatibility with
252 old serialization datafiles
253 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
254 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
256 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
257 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
259 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
260 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
261 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
262 - fixed in opensync plugin:
263 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
264 so added lower case conversion routine
265 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
266 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
267 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
268 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
270 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
271 - added status message to endpoint override
273 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
274 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
275 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
276 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
277 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
278 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
280 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
281 The description is now part of the probe results
282 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
283 a new attribute definition.
284 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
285 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
286 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
287 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
288 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
289 in order to better support SWIG and Python
291 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
292 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
293 settings automatically where possible
294 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
295 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
297 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
298 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
299 error.cc is now an empty shell
300 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
301 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
302 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
303 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
304 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
306 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
311 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
315 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
316 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
317 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
319 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
322 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
323 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
324 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
325 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
326 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
328 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
329 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
330 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
331 endian bug in the process)
332 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
333 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
334 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
335 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
336 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
337 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
338 - opensync-plugin/README update
339 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
340 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
341 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
343 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
345 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
348 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
349 for the broken-down name instead of N
350 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
351 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
352 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
353 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
354 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
355 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
356 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
357 registered two. Moving to single change commit
358 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
359 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
360 ease memory pressure in the library.
361 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
363 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
364 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
365 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
367 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
369 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
370 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
371 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
372 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
373 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
374 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
375 record into the device.... First/Last Name
376 fields are position sensitive, and the code
377 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
378 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
379 were not updated to handle the new field
380 table added for the postal address changes
383 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
384 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
385 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
386 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
387 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
388 UID strings, instead of just numbers
389 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
390 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
391 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
392 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
393 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
395 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
396 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
397 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
398 sync the wrong device and lose data.
399 Actions to take on new PIN:
400 - force slow_sync, or
402 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
403 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
404 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
405 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
407 - changed PIN error message number to hex
409 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
410 "Backup in progress..."
411 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
412 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
413 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
414 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
415 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
416 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
417 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
418 a new class called PostalAddress
419 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
420 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
421 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
422 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
424 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
426 - added vCard converter class
427 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
428 of empty attribute values and parameters,
429 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
430 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
431 an extra nth argument, in order to search
432 for multiple attributes with the same name...
433 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
434 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
435 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
438 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
439 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
440 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
441 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
445 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
446 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
447 new Barry ID would look like a new change
448 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
449 - added support for slow sync
450 - added clear() to idmap class
451 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
452 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
453 - added Notification time support
454 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
455 does not exist in a vformat data block
456 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
457 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
458 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
459 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
460 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
461 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
462 special cases in the future
464 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
466 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
467 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
468 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
470 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
471 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
472 library API that is not yet finished... will be
473 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
474 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
476 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
477 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
478 the goal is to be able to do:
479 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
481 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
482 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
483 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
484 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
486 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
487 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
489 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
491 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
492 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
494 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
495 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
496 in general use will not break on build
497 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
498 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
499 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
501 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
503 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
504 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
505 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
506 SetIds() is already there
507 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
508 and moved into record.h
509 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
511 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
512 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
513 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
514 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
516 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
518 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
519 - changes to PIN message patch:
520 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
521 - fixed tab alignment throughout
522 - removed typedef from Address struct
523 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
524 going to be a standalone type
525 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
526 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
527 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
528 backing on a field for other use
529 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
530 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
531 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
532 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
533 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
534 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
535 PIN Message so that we store both of these
538 - added item to gui/TODO
539 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
541 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
542 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
543 modified to split into the new separate files system
544 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
545 - reformatted the code to match coding style
547 - added copyright notice
548 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
549 - placed in Barry namespace
550 - added #ifdef header protectors
551 - added new files to Makefile.am
552 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
553 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
554 Brian Edginton's patch
555 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
556 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
559 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
560 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
564 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
565 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
566 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
567 linker errors with the new file layout
569 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
570 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
571 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
573 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
574 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
575 and added a command line option to turn
576 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
577 - command line option --help now also works
578 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
579 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
580 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
581 localizing the constants in one place
583 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
584 fields in Contact and Calendar records
585 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
586 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
587 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
588 Outlook from the comments.
589 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
590 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
591 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
592 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
593 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
598 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
599 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
602 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
603 based on the example plugin in the opensync
604 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
608 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
609 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
610 and then success afterward
611 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
612 - added item to gui's todo list
613 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
617 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
621 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
622 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
624 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
625 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing

630 - bumped release number in barry.spec
633 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
634 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
635 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
636 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
638 - added development note to README
640 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
643 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
644 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
647 - removed some unneeded trace logs
648 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
650 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
651 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
653 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
654 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
656 - opensync module work:
657 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
658 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
659 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
660 a hard coded calendar record state table
661 - added lots of logging throughout
662 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
663 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
664 causing another sync on the next run
665 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
666 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
667 written to the Blackberry
668 - more opensync module work:
669 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
670 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
671 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
672 the environment classes
673 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
674 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
676 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
677 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
678 a sample configuration
679 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
680 on success (opensync module)
681 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
682 - allowed comments in the config file
683 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
684 routines are not available from the plugin side
687 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
688 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
689 only use idProduct, and updated man page
690 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
691 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
692 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
693 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
694 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
695 and the old search didn't always work
696 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
697 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
698 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
699 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
700 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
701 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
702 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
703 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
704 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
706 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
707 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
708 the vevent20 data (experimental)
710 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
711 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
713 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
715 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
716 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
718 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
720 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
722 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
723 FullName, even if there was no last name)
724 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
725 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
726 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
727 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
728 this special case, without relying on string length.
729 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
730 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
731 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
733 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
735 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
736 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
737 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
738 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
739 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
740 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
741 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
742 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
743 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
745 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
746 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
748 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
749 udev rules for the Pearl
750 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
752 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
753 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
754 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
755 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
756 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
757 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
758 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
759 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
760 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
761 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
762 - added license file to each package
763 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
766 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
767 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
769 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
770 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
771 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
773 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
774 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
775 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
776 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
777 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
778 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
779 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
780 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
781 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
783 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
784 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
790 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
793 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
795 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
796 device discovery code
797 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
798 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
799 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
800 than are really available... in this case, let's
801 just ignore the missing data and assume success
802 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
803 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
804 - ReleaseChecklist update
805 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
806 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
809 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
810 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
812 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
813 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
814 - added initial release maintainer scripts
815 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
816 no databases selected in configuration
817 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
818 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
819 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
820 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
821 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
823 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
824 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
825 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
826 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
827 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
828 -v now controls this as well
829 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
830 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
831 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
832 the beginning of USB conversations
833 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
834 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
835 its sequence number behaviour
836 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
837 socket 0 level command
838 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
839 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
840 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
841 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
842 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
843 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
844 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
845 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
846 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
847 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
848 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
849 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
850 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
852 - updated controller.cc:
853 - uses new socket 0 implementation
854 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
855 selecting modes, as it should use the
856 socket 0 sequence number
857 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
858 - updated some .cvsignore files
860 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
861 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
866 - moved Command() to base Packet class
867 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
868 new PasswordChallenge struct
869 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
870 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
871 password hashing logic.
872 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
874 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
875 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
876 - major LDIF overhaul:
877 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
879 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
880 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
881 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
883 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
885 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
886 notes fields were missed in old version if not
888 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
889 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
890 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
891 - large update to btool manpage
892 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
894 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
895 - removed commented code from translate.cc
896 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
897 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
898 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
899 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
900 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
901 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
902 instead of hardcoding it.
904 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
905 - minor tweaks to README
906 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
907 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
908 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
909 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
910 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
911 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
912 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
914 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
915 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
916 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
917 - added iomanip to debug.h
918 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
919 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
922 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
923 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
924 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
925 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
928 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
929 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
931 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
933 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
934 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
935 one base class: Barry::Error
936 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
937 - added BadPassword exception
943 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
944 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
945 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
946 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
947 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
948 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
949 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
951 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
952 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
953 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
954 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
955 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
958 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
959 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
961 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
962 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
963 - iostream output size fixes
964 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
965 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
966 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
967 this is still experimental
968 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
969 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
971 - uncommented the about box menu handler
972 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
973 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
974 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
976 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
977 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
978 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
979 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
980 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
981 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
982 and record objects that use it.
983 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
984 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
986 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
987 This returns the default rectype that should work
988 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
989 the device, but in the case where a database has no
990 records, this info would be good to know.
991 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
992 to use GetDefaultRecType()
993 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
994 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
995 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
996 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
997 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
998 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
999 - backup GUI updates:
1000 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1001 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1002 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1003 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1004 i.e. Backup or Restore
1005 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1006 it appears to be read-only on the device
1007 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1008 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1009 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1010 supported now by the library
1012 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1013 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1015 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1016 using the library should not care about endianness
1017 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1018 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1020 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1022 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1023 Version call instead
1024 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1026 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1027 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1028 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1030 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1031 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1032 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1034 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1035 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1036 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1037 through btool, for development
1038 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1039 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1040 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1041 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1042 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1043 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1044 exceptions need to be handled with
1045 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1046 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1047 - added pending gui/TODO items
1049 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1050 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1051 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1052 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1053 when we try to write to it)
1054 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1056 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1058 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1059 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1060 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1061 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1062 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1064 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1065 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1066 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1067 backups only at this point
1069 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1070 - added version API, returning version number and string
1071 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1072 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1073 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1074 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1076 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1077 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1079 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1080 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1081 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1082 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1084 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1086 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1088 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1089 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1091 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1093 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1096 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1097 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1098 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1099 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1100 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1101 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1103 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1104 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1105 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1107 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1108 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1109 a future Debian install
1110 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1111 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1112 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1113 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1115 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1116 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1117 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1118 - fixed more endian issues
1119 - minor update to TODO
1121 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1122 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1124 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1125 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1126 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1127 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1129 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1130 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1131 on old build system if wanted
1132 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1133 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1134 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1135 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1136 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1137 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1139 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1140 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1141 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1142 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1143 properly when installed standalone
1144 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1145 installed barry library
1146 - added commentary on version number system
1147 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1148 system supercedes it
1149 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1150 - added library version number to autoconf build
1151 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1152 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1153 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1154 option... may need to revisit this later
1155 - quick installation update in README
1157 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1159 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1160 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1161 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1162 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1163 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1164 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1166 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1167 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1169 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1170 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1172 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1173 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1175 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1176 uploading to device to fail
1178 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1180 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1181 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1182 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1183 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1184 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1185 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1187 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1188 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1189 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1190 exceptions leak into the C library code
1192 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1193 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1195 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1196 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1198 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1201 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1202 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1203 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1204 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1205 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1206 header of its own, in the case of email
1207 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1208 Record does not know the details of the packet
1209 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1210 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1211 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1212 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1213 the record format details, but does know the
1214 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1216 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1217 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1218 record formats being the same even with different
1219 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1220 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1221 See the header size of the email record after
1223 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1224 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1225 The Controller object does not know the format
1226 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1227 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1228 to talk to the device.
1229 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1231 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS

1236 handle non-little-endian machines
1237 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1238 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1239 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1240 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1241 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1242 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1243 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1244 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1246 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1248 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1249 flags of individual blackberry device records

1256 - removed slow sync functions for now
1258 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1259 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1260 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1261 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1262 the base classes for all exceptions
1263 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1264 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1278 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1280 - old and new description
1282 - bes domain / domain
1283 - date change in legal.txt
1284 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1285 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1286 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1287 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1288 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1290 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1291 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1292 - added AUTHORS file
1293 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1294 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1295 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1345 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1346 throw exception in controller.cc
1347 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1348 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1349 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1350 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.

1396 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1397 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1398 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1399 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1424 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1425 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1426 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1427 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1428 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1429 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1430 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1431 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1432 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1433 seem to need more time...)
1434 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1435 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1436 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1437 with Python, if used(?)
1438 - added Message class for Email records

1457 a public API function
1458 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1459 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on

1469 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1470 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1471 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the

1473 from the Command Table
1474 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1475 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1476 the Cassis spec more closely
1477 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1478 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1479 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1482 - added Doxyfile to the project
1484 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1485 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1486 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1488 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1489 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1490 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1491 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1493 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1494 less buffer than data copied
1495 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1496 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1497 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1498 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1500 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1501 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1503 - implemented socket::Close()
1504 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1506 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1508 - added .cvsignore files to project
1509 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1513 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1515 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1516 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1517 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1519 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1520 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1521 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1522 - regular debug output
1523 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1524 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1525 - raw data dump output
1526 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1527 numbers into english (limited success)
1528 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1529 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1530 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1531 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1532 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1533 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1534 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1535 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1536 for socket 0 operations.
1537 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1541 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1542 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1543 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1544 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1546 - syncberry tree started
