1 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are visible
5 in the shared library, libbarry... this makes a drastic
6 reduction in the symbol table, and should avoid future
7 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
8 (currently only supports libbarry... todo: opensync plugin)
9 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
11 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
12 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
13 real opensync libraries
15 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
16 building RPM's from CVS
17 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
18 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
19 on ./configure command line
21 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
22 so that the database name is stored as the first line
24 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
26 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
27 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
29 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
30 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
32 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
33 Paul Dugas for the tip
35 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
36 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
38 - updated AUTHORS file
40 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
41 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
42 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
43 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
44 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
45 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
46 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
47 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
49 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
50 - updated copyright statments for 2008
52 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
54 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
55 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
60 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
64 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
67 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
68 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
70 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
71 - added pause to maintainer release script
77 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
81 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
83 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
86 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
87 search by busname / devname
88 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
89 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
90 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
91 bus/device names, and updated the man page
92 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
93 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
94 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
95 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
96 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
97 spec file for opensuse
99 - added better error checking to breset
100 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
101 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
102 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
103 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
104 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
105 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
106 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
108 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
109 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
110 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
111 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
112 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
113 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
114 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
115 make applications look more capable, not less.
116 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
117 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
118 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
121 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
122 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
125 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
126 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
127 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
128 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
129 at the same time as usb_storage.
130 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
131 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
132 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
133 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
134 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
135 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
136 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
137 fail naturally on these devices.
138 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
140 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
141 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
143 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
144 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
146 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
148 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
149 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
150 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
151 that release package builds can be done faster
153 - opensync plugin fixes:
154 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
155 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
156 and keep track of the hierarchy when
157 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
158 - added support for searching for attributes only
159 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
160 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
162 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
163 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
164 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
165 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
166 ToBarry conversion results
167 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
169 - fixed typo in previous fix
171 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
172 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
173 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
178 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
182 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
183 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
185 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
186 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
187 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
188 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
190 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
191 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
193 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
194 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
195 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
196 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
197 without recompiling the kernel.
198 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
200 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
201 information in README files to html format, so that it
202 is commonly available on the web
203 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
204 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
206 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
207 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
210 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
211 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
212 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
213 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
214 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
215 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
216 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
217 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
218 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
219 explanatory document for various system requirements
220 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
222 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
223 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
224 for opensuse rpm builds
226 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
227 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
228 - fixed build target to i386
229 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
232 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
233 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
234 will be updated more frequently
236 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
237 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
238 configure scripts to support external build directories
239 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
240 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
241 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
242 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
243 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
246 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
247 parse the comma separated string into an array,
249 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
250 and will affect backward compatibility with
251 old serialization datafiles
252 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
253 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
255 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
256 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
258 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
259 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
260 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
261 - fixed in opensync plugin:
262 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
263 so added lower case conversion routine
264 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
265 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
266 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
267 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
269 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
270 - added status message to endpoint override
272 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
273 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
274 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
275 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
276 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
277 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
279 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
280 The description is now part of the probe results
281 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
282 a new attribute definition.
283 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
284 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
285 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
286 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
287 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
288 in order to better support SWIG and Python
290 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
291 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
292 settings automatically where possible
293 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
294 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
296 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
297 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
298 error.cc is now an empty shell
299 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
300 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
301 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
302 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
303 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
305 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
310 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
314 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
315 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
316 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
318 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
319 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
321 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
322 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
323 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
324 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
325 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
327 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
328 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
329 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
330 endian bug in the process)
331 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
332 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
333 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
334 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
335 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
336 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
337 - opensync-plugin/README update
338 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
339 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
340 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
342 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
344 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
347 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
348 for the broken-down name instead of N
349 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
350 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
351 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
352 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
353 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
354 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
355 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
356 registered two. Moving to single change commit
357 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
358 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
359 ease memory pressure in the library.
360 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
362 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
363 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
364 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
366 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
368 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
369 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
370 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
371 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
372 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
373 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
374 record into the device.... First/Last Name
375 fields are position sensitive, and the code
376 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
377 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
378 were not updated to handle the new field
379 table added for the postal address changes
382 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
383 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
384 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
385 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
386 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
387 UID strings, instead of just numbers
388 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
389 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
390 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
391 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
392 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
394 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
395 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
396 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
397 sync the wrong device and lose data.
398 Actions to take on new PIN:
399 - force slow_sync, or
401 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
402 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
403 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
404 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
406 - changed PIN error message number to hex
408 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
409 "Backup in progress..."
410 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
411 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
412 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
413 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
414 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
415 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
416 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
417 a new class called PostalAddress
418 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
419 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
420 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
421 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
423 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
425 - added vCard converter class
426 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
427 of empty attribute values and parameters,
428 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
429 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
430 an extra nth argument, in order to search
431 for multiple attributes with the same name...
432 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
433 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
434 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
437 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
438 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
439 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
440 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
444 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
445 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
446 new Barry ID would look like a new change
447 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
448 - added support for slow sync
449 - added clear() to idmap class
450 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
451 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
452 - added Notification time support
453 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
454 does not exist in a vformat data block
455 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
456 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
457 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
458 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
459 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
460 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
461 special cases in the future
463 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
465 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
466 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
467 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
469 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
470 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
471 library API that is not yet finished... will be
472 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
473 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
475 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
476 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
477 the goal is to be able to do:
478 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
480 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
481 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
482 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
483 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
485 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
486 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
488 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
490 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
491 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
493 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
494 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
495 in general use will not break on build
496 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
497 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
498 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
500 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
502 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
503 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
504 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
505 SetIds() is already there
506 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
507 and moved into record.h
508 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
510 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
511 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
512 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
513 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
515 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
517 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
518 - changes to PIN message patch:
519 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
520 - fixed tab alignment throughout
521 - removed typedef from Address struct
522 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
523 going to be a standalone type
524 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
525 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
526 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
527 backing on a field for other use
528 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
529 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
530 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
531 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
532 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
533 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
534 PIN Message so that we store both of these
537 - added item to gui/TODO
538 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
540 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
541 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
542 modified to split into the new separate files system
543 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
544 - reformatted the code to match coding style
546 - added copyright notice
547 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
548 - placed in Barry namespace
549 - added #ifdef header protectors
550 - added new files to Makefile.am
551 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
552 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
553 Brian Edginton's patch
554 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
555 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
558 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
559 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
563 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
564 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
565 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
566 linker errors with the new file layout
568 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
569 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
570 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
572 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
573 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
574 and added a command line option to turn
575 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
576 - command line option --help now also works
577 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
578 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
579 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
580 localizing the constants in one place
582 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
583 fields in Contact and Calendar records
584 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
585 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
586 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
587 Outlook from the comments.
588 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
589 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
590 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
591 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
592 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
597 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
598 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
601 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
602 based on the example plugin in the opensync
603 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
607 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
608 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
609 and then success afterward
610 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
611 - added item to gui's todo list
612 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
616 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
620 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
621 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
623 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
624 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
625 - updated maintainer/README
626 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
628 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
629 - bumped release number in barry.spec
632 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
633 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
634 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
635 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
637 - added development note to README
639 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
642 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
643 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
646 - removed some unneeded trace logs
647 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
649 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
650 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
652 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
653 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
655 - opensync module work:
656 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
657 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
658 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
659 a hard coded calendar record state table
660 - added lots of logging throughout
661 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
662 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
663 causing another sync on the next run
664 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
665 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
666 written to the Blackberry
667 - more opensync module work:
668 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
669 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
670 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
671 the environment classes
672 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
673 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
675 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
676 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
677 a sample configuration
678 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
679 on success (opensync module)
680 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
681 - allowed comments in the config file
682 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
683 routines are not available from the plugin side
686 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
687 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
688 only use idProduct, and updated man page
689 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
690 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
691 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
692 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
693 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
694 and the old search didn't always work
695 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
696 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
697 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
698 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
699 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
700 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
701 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
702 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
703 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
705 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
706 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
707 the vevent20 data (experimental)
709 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
710 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
712 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
714 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
715 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
717 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
719 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
721 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
722 FullName, even if there was no last name)
723 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
724 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
725 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
726 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
727 this special case, without relying on string length.
728 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
729 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
730 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
732 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
734 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
735 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
736 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
737 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
738 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
739 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
740 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
741 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
742 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
744 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
745 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
747 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
748 udev rules for the Pearl
749 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
751 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
752 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
753 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
754 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
755 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
756 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
757 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
758 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
759 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
760 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
761 - added license file to each package
762 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
765 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
766 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
768 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
769 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
770 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
772 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
773 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
774 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
775 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
776 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
777 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
778 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
779 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
780 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
782 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
783 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
789 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
792 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
794 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
795 device discovery code
796 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
797 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
798 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
799 than are really available... in this case, let's
800 just ignore the missing data and assume success
801 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
802 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
803 - ReleaseChecklist update
804 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
805 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
808 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
809 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
811 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
812 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
813 - added initial release maintainer scripts
814 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
815 no databases selected in configuration
816 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
817 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
818 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
819 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
820 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
822 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
823 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
824 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
825 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
826 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
827 -v now controls this as well
828 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
829 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
830 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
831 the beginning of USB conversations
832 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
833 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
834 its sequence number behaviour
835 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
836 socket 0 level command
837 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
838 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
839 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
840 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
841 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
842 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
843 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
844 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
845 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
846 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
847 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
848 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
849 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
851 - updated controller.cc:
852 - uses new socket 0 implementation
853 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
854 selecting modes, as it should use the
855 socket 0 sequence number
856 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
857 - updated some .cvsignore files
859 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
860 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
865 - moved Command() to base Packet class
866 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
867 new PasswordChallenge struct
868 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
869 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
870 password hashing logic.
871 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
873 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
874 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
875 - major LDIF overhaul:
876 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
878 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
879 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
880 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
882 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
884 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
885 notes fields were missed in old version if not
887 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
888 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
889 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
890 - large update to btool manpage
891 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
893 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
894 - removed commented code from translate.cc
895 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
896 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
897 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
898 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
899 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
900 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
901 instead of hardcoding it.
903 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
904 - minor tweaks to README
905 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
906 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
907 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
908 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
909 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
910 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
911 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
913 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
914 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
915 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
916 - added iomanip to debug.h
917 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
918 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
921 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
922 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
923 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
924 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
927 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
928 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
930 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
932 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
933 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
934 one base class: Barry::Error
935 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
936 - added BadPassword exception
942 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
943 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
944 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
945 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
946 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
947 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
948 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
950 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
951 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
952 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
953 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
954 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
957 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
960 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
961 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
962 - iostream output size fixes
963 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
964 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
965 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
966 this is still experimental
967 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
968 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
970 - uncommented the about box menu handler
971 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
972 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
973 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
975 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
976 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
977 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
978 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
979 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
980 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
981 and record objects that use it.
982 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
983 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
985 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
986 This returns the default rectype that should work
987 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
988 the device, but in the case where a database has no
989 records, this info would be good to know.
990 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
991 to use GetDefaultRecType()
992 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
993 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
994 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
995 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
996 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
997 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
998 - backup GUI updates:
999 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1000 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1001 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1002 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1003 i.e. Backup or Restore
1004 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1005 it appears to be read-only on the device
1006 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1007 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1008 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1009 supported now by the library
1011 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1012 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1014 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1015 using the library should not care about endianness
1016 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1017 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1019 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1021 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1022 Version call instead
1023 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1025 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1026 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1027 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1029 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1030 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1031 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1033 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1034 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1035 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1036 through btool, for development
1037 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1038 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1039 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1040 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1041 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1042 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1043 exceptions need to be handled with
1044 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1045 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1046 - added pending gui/TODO items
1048 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1049 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1050 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1051 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1052 when we try to write to it)
1053 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1055 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1057 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1058 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1059 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1060 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1061 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1063 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1064 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1065 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1066 backups only at this point
1068 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1069 - added version API, returning version number and string
1070 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1071 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1072 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1073 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1075 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1076 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1078 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1079 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1080 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1081 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1083 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1085 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1087 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1088 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1090 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1092 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1093 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1095 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1096 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1097 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1098 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1099 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1100 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1102 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1103 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1104 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1106 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1107 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1108 a future Debian install
1109 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1110 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1111 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1112 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1114 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1115 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1116 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1117 - fixed more endian issues
1118 - minor update to TODO
1120 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1121 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1123 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1124 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1125 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1126 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1128 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1129 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1130 on old build system if wanted
1131 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1132 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1133 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1134 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1135 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1136 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1138 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1139 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1140 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1141 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1142 properly when installed standalone
1143 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1144 installed barry library
1145 - added commentary on version number system
1146 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1147 system supercedes it
1148 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1149 - added library version number to autoconf build
1150 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1151 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1152 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1153 option... may need to revisit this later
1154 - quick installation update in README
1156 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1158 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1159 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1160 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1161 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1162 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1163 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1165 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1166 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1168 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1169 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1171 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1172 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1174 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1175 uploading to device to fail
1177 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1179 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1180 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1181 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1182 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1183 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1184 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1186 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1187 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1188 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1189 exceptions leak into the C library code
1191 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1192 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1194 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1195 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1197 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1200 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1201 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1202 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1203 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1204 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1205 header of its own, in the case of email
1206 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1207 Record does not know the details of the packet
1208 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1209 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1210 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1211 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1212 the record format details, but does know the
1213 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1215 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1216 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1217 record formats being the same even with different
1218 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1219 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1220 See the header size of the email record after
1222 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1223 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1224 The Controller object does not know the format
1225 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1226 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1227 to talk to the device.
1228 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1230 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS

1235 handle non-little-endian machines
1236 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1237 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1238 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1239 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1240 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1241 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1242 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1243 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1245 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1247 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1248 flags of individual blackberry device records

1255 - removed slow sync functions for now
1257 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1258 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1259 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1260 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1261 the base classes for all exceptions
1262 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1263 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1277 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1279 - old and new description
1281 - bes domain / domain
1282 - date change in legal.txt
1283 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1284 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1285 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1286 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1287 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1289 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1290 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1291 - added AUTHORS file
1292 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1293 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1294 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1344 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1345 throw exception in controller.cc
1346 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1347 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1348 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1349 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.

1395 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1396 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1397 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1398 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1423 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1424 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1425 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1426 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1427 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1428 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1429 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1430 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1431 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1432 seem to need more time...)
1433 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1434 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1435 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1436 with Python, if used(?)
1437 - added Message class for Email records
1438 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1439 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1456 a public API function
1457 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1458 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1460 - added mode checks to Controller

1468 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1469 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1470 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the

1472 from the Command Table
1473 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1474 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1475 the Cassis spec more closely
1476 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1477 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1478 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1481 - added Doxyfile to the project
1483 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1484 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1485 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1487 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1488 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1489 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1490 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1492 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1493 less buffer than data copied
1494 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1495 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1496 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1497 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1499 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1500 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1502 - implemented socket::Close()
1503 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1505 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1507 - added .cvsignore files to project
1508 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1512 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1514 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1515 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1516 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1518 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1519 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1520 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1521 - regular debug output
1522 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1523 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1524 - raw data dump output
1525 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1526 numbers into english (limited success)
1527 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1528 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1529 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1530 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1531 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1532 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1533 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1534 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1535 for socket 0 operations.
1536 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1540 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1541 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1542 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1543 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1545 - syncberry tree started
