1 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/08/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
6 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
7 - added status message to endpoint override
9 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
10 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
11 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
12 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
13 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
14 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
16 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
17 The description is now part of the probe results
18 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
19 a new attribute definition.
20 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
21 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
22 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
23 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
24 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
25 in order to better support SWIG and Python
27 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
28 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
29 settings automatically where possible
30 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
31 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
33 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
34 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
35 error.cc is now an empty shell
36 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
37 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
38 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
39 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
40 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
42 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
47 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
51 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
52 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
53 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
55 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
58 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
59 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
60 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
61 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
62 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
64 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
65 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
66 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
67 endian bug in the process)
68 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
69 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
70 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
71 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
72 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
73 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
74 - opensync-plugin/README update
75 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
76 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
77 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
79 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
81 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
84 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
85 for the broken-down name instead of N
86 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
87 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
88 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
89 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
90 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
91 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
92 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
93 registered two. Moving to single change commit
94 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
95 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
96 ease memory pressure in the library.
97 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
99 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
100 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
101 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
103 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
105 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
106 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
107 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
108 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
109 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
110 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
111 record into the device.... First/Last Name
112 fields are position sensitive, and the code
113 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
114 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
115 were not updated to handle the new field
116 table added for the postal address changes
119 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
120 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
121 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
122 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
123 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
124 UID strings, instead of just numbers
125 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
126 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
127 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
128 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
129 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
131 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
132 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
133 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
134 sync the wrong device and lose data.
135 Actions to take on new PIN:
136 - force slow_sync, or
138 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
139 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
140 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
141 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
143 - changed PIN error message number to hex
145 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
146 "Backup in progress..."
147 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
148 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
149 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
150 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
151 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
152 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
153 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
154 a new class called PostalAddress
155 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
156 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
157 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
158 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
160 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
162 - added vCard converter class
163 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
164 of empty attribute values and parameters,
165 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
166 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
167 an extra nth argument, in order to search
168 for multiple attributes with the same name...
169 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
170 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
171 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
174 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
175 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
176 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
177 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
181 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
182 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
183 new Barry ID would look like a new change
184 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
185 - added support for slow sync
186 - added clear() to idmap class
187 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
188 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
189 - added Notification time support
190 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
191 does not exist in a vformat data block
192 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
193 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
194 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
195 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
196 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
197 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
198 special cases in the future
200 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
202 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
203 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
204 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
206 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
207 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
208 library API that is not yet finished... will be
209 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
210 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
212 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
213 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
214 the goal is to be able to do:
215 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
217 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
218 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
219 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
220 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
222 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
223 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
225 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
227 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
228 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
230 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
231 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
232 in general use will not break on build
233 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
234 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
235 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
237 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
239 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
240 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
241 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
242 SetIds() is already there
243 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
244 and moved into record.h
245 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
247 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
248 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
249 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
250 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
252 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
254 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
255 - changes to PIN message patch:
256 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
257 - fixed tab alignment throughout
258 - removed typedef from Address struct
259 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
260 going to be a standalone type
261 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
262 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
263 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
264 backing on a field for other use
265 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
266 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
267 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
268 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
269 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
270 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
271 PIN Message so that we store both of these
274 - added item to gui/TODO
275 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
277 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
278 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
279 modified to split into the new separate files system
280 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
281 - reformatted the code to match coding style
283 - added copyright notice
284 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
285 - placed in Barry namespace
286 - added #ifdef header protectors
287 - added new files to Makefile.am
288 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
289 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
290 Brian Edginton's patch
291 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
292 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
295 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
296 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
300 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
301 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
302 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
303 linker errors with the new file layout
305 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
306 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
307 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
309 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
310 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
311 and added a command line option to turn
312 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
313 - command line option --help now also works
314 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
315 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
316 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
317 localizing the constants in one place
319 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
320 fields in Contact and Calendar records
321 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
322 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
323 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
324 Outlook from the comments.
325 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
326 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
327 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
328 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
329 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
334 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
335 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
338 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
339 based on the example plugin in the opensync
340 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
344 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
345 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
346 and then success afterward
347 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
348 - added item to gui's todo list
349 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
353 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
357 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
358 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
360 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

362 - updated maintainer/README
363 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
365 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
366 - bumped release number in barry.spec
369 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
370 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
371 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
372 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
374 - added development note to README
376 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
379 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
380 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
383 - removed some unneeded trace logs
384 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
386 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
387 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
389 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
390 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
392 - opensync module work:
393 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
394 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
395 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
396 a hard coded calendar record state table
397 - added lots of logging throughout
398 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
399 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
400 causing another sync on the next run
401 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
402 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
403 written to the Blackberry
404 - more opensync module work:
405 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
406 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
407 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
408 the environment classes
409 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
410 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
412 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
413 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
414 a sample configuration
415 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
416 on success (opensync module)
417 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
418 - allowed comments in the config file
419 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
420 routines are not available from the plugin side
423 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
424 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
425 only use idProduct, and updated man page
426 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
427 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
428 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
429 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
430 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
431 and the old search didn't always work
432 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
433 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
434 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
435 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
436 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
437 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
438 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
439 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
440 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
442 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
443 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
444 the vevent20 data (experimental)
446 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
447 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
449 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
451 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
452 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
454 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
456 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
458 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
459 FullName, even if there was no last name)
460 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
461 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
462 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
463 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
464 this special case, without relying on string length.
465 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
466 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
467 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
469 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
471 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
472 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
473 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
474 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
475 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
476 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
477 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
478 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
479 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
481 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
482 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
484 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
485 udev rules for the Pearl
486 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
488 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
489 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
490 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
491 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
492 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
493 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
494 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
495 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
496 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
497 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
498 - added license file to each package
499 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
502 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
503 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
505 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
506 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
507 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
509 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
510 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
511 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
512 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
513 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
514 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
515 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
516 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
517 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
519 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
520 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
526 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
529 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
531 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
532 device discovery code
533 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
534 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
535 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
536 than are really available... in this case, let's
537 just ignore the missing data and assume success
538 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
539 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
540 - ReleaseChecklist update
541 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
542 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
545 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
546 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
548 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
549 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
550 - added initial release maintainer scripts
551 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
552 no databases selected in configuration
553 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
554 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
555 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
556 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
557 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
559 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
560 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
561 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
562 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
563 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
564 -v now controls this as well
565 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
566 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
567 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
568 the beginning of USB conversations
569 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
570 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
571 its sequence number behaviour
572 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
573 socket 0 level command
574 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
575 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
576 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
577 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
578 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
579 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
580 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
581 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
582 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
583 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
584 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
585 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
586 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
588 - updated controller.cc:
589 - uses new socket 0 implementation
590 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
591 selecting modes, as it should use the
592 socket 0 sequence number
593 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
594 - updated some .cvsignore files
596 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
597 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
602 - moved Command() to base Packet class
603 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
604 new PasswordChallenge struct
605 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
606 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
607 password hashing logic.
608 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
610 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
611 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
612 - major LDIF overhaul:
613 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
615 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
616 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
617 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
619 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
621 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
622 notes fields were missed in old version if not
624 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
625 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
626 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
627 - large update to btool manpage
628 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
630 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
631 - removed commented code from translate.cc
632 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
633 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
634 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
635 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
636 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
637 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
638 instead of hardcoding it.
640 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
641 - minor tweaks to README
642 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
643 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
644 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
645 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
646 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
647 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
648 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
650 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
651 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
652 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
653 - added iomanip to debug.h
654 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
655 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
658 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
659 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
660 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
661 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
664 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
665 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
667 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
669 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
670 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
671 one base class: Barry::Error
672 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
673 - added BadPassword exception
679 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
680 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
681 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
682 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
683 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
684 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
685 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
687 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
688 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
689 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
690 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
691 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
694 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
695 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
697 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
698 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
699 - iostream output size fixes
700 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
701 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
702 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
703 this is still experimental
704 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
705 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
707 - uncommented the about box menu handler
708 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
709 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
710 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
712 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
713 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
714 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
715 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
716 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
717 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
718 and record objects that use it.
719 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
720 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
722 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
723 This returns the default rectype that should work
724 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
725 the device, but in the case where a database has no
726 records, this info would be good to know.
727 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
728 to use GetDefaultRecType()
729 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
730 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
731 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
732 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
733 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
734 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
735 - backup GUI updates:
736 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
737 and changed the logic so the restore continues
738 even if there was a protocol error on one database
739 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
740 i.e. Backup or Restore
741 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
742 it appears to be read-only on the device
743 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
744 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
745 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
746 supported now by the library
748 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
749 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
751 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
752 using the library should not care about endianness
753 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
754 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
756 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
758 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
760 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
762 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
763 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
764 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
766 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
767 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
768 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
770 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
771 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
772 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
773 through btool, for development
774 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
775 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
776 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
777 - finished implementation of GUI restore
778 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
779 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
780 exceptions need to be handled with
781 Glib::add_exception_handler()
782 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
783 - added pending gui/TODO items
785 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
786 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
787 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
788 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
789 when we try to write to it)
790 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
792 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
794 - updated copyright dates for the new year
795 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
796 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
797 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
798 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
800 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
801 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
802 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
803 backups only at this point
805 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
806 - added version API, returning version number and string
807 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
808 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
809 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
810 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
812 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
813 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
815 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
816 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
817 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
818 leaving the device in Desktop mode
820 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
822 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
824 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
825 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
827 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
829 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
830 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
832 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
833 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
834 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
835 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
836 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
837 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
839 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
840 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
841 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
843 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
844 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
845 a future Debian install
846 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
847 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
848 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
849 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
851 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
852 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
853 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
854 - fixed more endian issues
855 - minor update to TODO
857 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
858 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
860 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
861 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
862 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
863 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
865 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
866 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
867 on old build system if wanted
868 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
869 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
870 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
871 into their own tools/ subdirectory
872 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
873 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
875 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
876 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
877 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
878 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
879 properly when installed standalone
880 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
881 installed barry library
882 - added commentary on version number system

886 - added library version number to autoconf build
887 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
888 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
889 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
890 option... may need to revisit this later
891 - quick installation update in README
893 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
895 - fixed endian issues in time.h
896 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
897 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
898 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
899 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
900 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
902 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
903 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data

906 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
908 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()

916 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
917 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
918 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
919 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
920 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
921 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
923 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
924 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
925 more use of the base exception to make sure no
926 exceptions leak into the C library code
928 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
929 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
931 - fixed casting error in opensync module
932 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
934 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
937 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
938 splitting the code into 3 groups:
939 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
940 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
941 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
942 header of its own, in the case of email
943 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
944 Record does not know the details of the packet
945 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
946 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
947 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
948 providing an API for it... packet does not know
949 the record format details, but does know the
950 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
952 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
953 of operation formats and record formats, with the
954 record formats being the same even with different
955 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
956 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
957 See the header size of the email record after
959 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
960 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
961 The Controller object does not know the format
962 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
963 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
964 to talk to the device.
965 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
967 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
969 - added sample hotplug scripts
970 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
971 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
972 handle non-little-endian machines
973 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
974 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
975 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
976 and cause a failure to reach the device...
977 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
978 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
979 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
980 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
982 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
984 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
985 flags of individual blackberry device records
986 - added endian macros throughout the code
988 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
989 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
990 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
992 - removed slow sync functions for now
994 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
995 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
996 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
997 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
998 the base classes for all exceptions
999 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1000 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1002 - added to Contact record class:
1004 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1005 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1006 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1007 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1008 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1009 and upload it to a blackberry
1010 - updated src/.cvsignore
1012 - added parsing of service book fields:
1014 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1016 - old and new description
1018 - bes domain / domain
1019 - date change in legal.txt
1020 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1021 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1022 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1023 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1024 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1026 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1027 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1028 - added AUTHORS file
1029 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1030 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1031 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1033 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1034 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1036 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1038 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1039 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1040 to the Controller class
1041 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1042 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1043 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1044 support of the template Controller functions
1045 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1046 returning errors properly
1047 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1048 of Controller template member usage
1050 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1052 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1053 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1055 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1056 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1057 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1058 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1059 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1060 constants... constants are now removed
1061 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc

1072 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1073 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1074 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1075 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1076 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1078 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1079 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1080 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1081 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1082 throw exception in controller.cc
1083 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1084 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1085 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1086 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1087 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1088 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1089 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1090 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser
1091 class, and "all day event" flag support
1093 - added autoconf to Todo list
1094 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1095 be reused for upload and download
1096 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1097 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1098 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1099 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
1100 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
1102 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
1104 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
1105 - added boost::serialization to build
1106 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1107 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1108 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1109 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1110 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1112 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1113 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1114 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1115 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1117 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
1118 - added builder.h, to support uploading
1119 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1120 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1121 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1122 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1125 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1126 optimize away protocol struct casts

1132 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1133 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1134 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1135 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1137 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1138 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1140 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage
1141 - updated README for release
1142 - renamed SBError exception class to BError

1156 - added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
1157 - added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
1158 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1160 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1161 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1162 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1163 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1164 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1165 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1166 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1167 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1168 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1169 seem to need more time...)
1170 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1171 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1172 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1173 with Python, if used(?)
1174 - added Message class for Email records
1175 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1176 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1177 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1179 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1180 - cleaned up comments
1181 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}

1183 - added Makefile.conf
1184 - added copyright notices to source files
1185 - added COPYING file with GPL
1186 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1187 store object pointers
1188 - added doxygen docs
1189 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1190 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1191 better suited to its general API purpose
1192 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1193 a public API function
1194 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1195 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1197 - added mode checks to Controller
1198 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1199 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1200 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1203 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1204 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1205 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1206 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1207 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1208 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1209 from the Command Table
1210 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1211 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1212 the Cassis spec more closely
1213 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1214 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1215 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1218 - added Doxyfile to the project
1220 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1221 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1222 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1224 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1225 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1226 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1227 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1228 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1229 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1230 less buffer than data copied
1231 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1232 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1233 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1234 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1236 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1237 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1239 - implemented socket::Close()
1240 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1241 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1242 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1244 - added .cvsignore files to project
1245 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1246 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1247 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1248 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1249 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1251 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1252 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1253 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1255 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1256 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1257 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1258 - regular debug output
1259 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1260 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1261 - raw data dump output
1262 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1263 numbers into english (limited success)
1264 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1265 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1266 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1267 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1268 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1269 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1270 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1271 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1272 for socket 0 operations.
1273 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1277 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1278 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1279 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1280 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1282 - syncberry tree started
