39 - added "known issues" section to main www doc page
40 - fixed virtual function mis-name bug in btool's null parser
41 - added -i option to brecsum, to include record IDs in the sums
42 - applied Ashley Willis's btool 0.12 null parser patch to CVS, which
43 required some manual porting changes...
44 - removed bool reference argument in GetParser()
46 - applied Ashley Willis's perlbarry package, putting it in the

70 the directory that contains it
71 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
73 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
74 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
75 headers, as it is an internal header only
76 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy

78 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
80 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
81 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
82 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
83 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
84 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
85 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.

88 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
90 - added beginnings of a build system test script
91 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am

107 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
108 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
109 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering

113 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
114 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
115 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
116 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
117 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
118 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
119 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
120 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
122 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD

152 script to set permissions
153 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
155 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc

174 them automatically in binary packages
175 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
176 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
178 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
179 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
180 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
181 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
182 such as with pppob...
183 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
184 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
185 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
186 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
187 order (no code change, only move)
188 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
189 possible to determine whether a program is using
190 threaded or non-threaded sockets
191 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
192 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
193 and updated the man page
194 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
195 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
198 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
199 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
200 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
201 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
202 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
203 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
204 IpModem endpoints are available
205 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
206 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
207 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
208 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
209 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
211 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
212 to file instead of stderr
213 - added man page for pppob
215 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
216 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
218 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
221 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
222 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
223 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
224 I'm looking at you...)
225 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
226 if no command line arguments are specified
227 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
228 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
230 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
231 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
232 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
233 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
234 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
235 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
236 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
237 like a null terminated string... also added more
238 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
239 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
240 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
241 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
242 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
243 on database records, for testing
244 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
245 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
246 which completes builder support
247 Checksums from the following commands now match:
248 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
249 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
250 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
251 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
252 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
254 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
255 work again... Thanks!
256 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
259 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
260 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
261 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
264 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
267 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
268 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

396 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
397 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
399 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
400 to avoid the CVS directories
401 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
402 diff.gz and dsc files
403 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
404 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
407 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
408 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
409 real opensync libraries
411 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
412 building RPM's from CVS
413 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
414 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
415 on ./configure command line
417 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
418 so that the database name is stored as the first line
420 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
422 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
423 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
425 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
426 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
428 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
429 Paul Dugas for the tip
431 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
432 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
433 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
434 - updated AUTHORS file
436 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
437 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
438 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
439 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
440 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
441 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
442 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
443 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
445 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
446 - updated copyright statments for 2008
448 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
450 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
451 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
456 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
460 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
463 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
464 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
466 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
467 - added pause to maintainer release script
473 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
477 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
479 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
480 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
482 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
483 search by busname / devname
484 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
485 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
486 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
487 bus/device names, and updated the man page
488 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
489 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
490 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
491 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
492 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
493 spec file for opensuse
495 - added better error checking to breset
496 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
497 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
498 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
499 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
500 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
501 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
502 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
504 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
505 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
506 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
507 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
508 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
509 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
510 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
511 make applications look more capable, not less.
512 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
513 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
514 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
517 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
518 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
521 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
522 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
523 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
524 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
525 at the same time as usb_storage.
526 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
527 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
528 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
529 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
530 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
531 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
532 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
533 fail naturally on these devices.
534 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
536 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
537 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
539 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
540 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
542 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
544 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
545 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
546 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
547 that release package builds can be done faster
549 - opensync plugin fixes:
550 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
551 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
552 and keep track of the hierarchy when
553 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
554 - added support for searching for attributes only
555 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
556 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
558 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
559 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
560 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
561 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
562 ToBarry conversion results
563 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
565 - fixed typo in previous fix
567 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
568 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
569 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
574 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
578 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
579 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
581 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
582 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
583 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
584 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
586 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
587 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
589 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
590 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
591 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
592 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
593 without recompiling the kernel.
594 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
596 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
597 information in README files to html format, so that it
598 is commonly available on the web
599 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
600 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
602 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
603 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
606 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
607 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
608 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
609 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
610 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
611 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
612 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
613 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
614 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
615 explanatory document for various system requirements
616 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
618 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
619 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
620 for opensuse rpm builds
622 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
623 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
624 - fixed build target to i386
625 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
628 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
629 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
630 will be updated more frequently
632 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
633 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
634 configure scripts to support external build directories
635 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
636 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
637 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
638 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
639 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
642 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
643 parse the comma separated string into an array,
645 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
646 and will affect backward compatibility with
647 old serialization datafiles
648 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
649 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
651 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
652 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
654 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
655 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
656 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
657 - fixed in opensync plugin:
658 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
659 so added lower case conversion routine
660 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
661 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
662 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
663 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
665 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
666 - added status message to endpoint override
668 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
669 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
670 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
671 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
672 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
673 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
675 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
676 The description is now part of the probe results
677 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
678 a new attribute definition.
679 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
680 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
681 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
682 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
683 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
684 in order to better support SWIG and Python
686 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
687 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
688 settings automatically where possible
689 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
690 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
692 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
693 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
694 error.cc is now an empty shell
695 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
696 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
697 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
698 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
699 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
701 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
706 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
710 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
711 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
712 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
714 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
715 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
717 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
718 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
719 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
720 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
721 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
723 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
724 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
725 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
726 endian bug in the process)
727 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
728 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
729 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
730 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
731 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
732 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
733 - opensync-plugin/README update
734 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
735 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
736 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
738 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
740 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
743 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
744 for the broken-down name instead of N
745 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
746 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
747 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
748 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
749 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
750 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
751 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
752 registered two. Moving to single change commit
753 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
754 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
755 ease memory pressure in the library.
756 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
758 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
759 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
760 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
762 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
764 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
765 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
766 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
767 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
768 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
769 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
770 record into the device.... First/Last Name
771 fields are position sensitive, and the code
772 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
773 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
774 were not updated to handle the new field
775 table added for the postal address changes
778 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
779 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
780 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
781 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
782 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
783 UID strings, instead of just numbers
784 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
785 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
786 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
787 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
788 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
790 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
791 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
792 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
793 sync the wrong device and lose data.
794 Actions to take on new PIN:
795 - force slow_sync, or
797 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
798 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
799 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
800 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
802 - changed PIN error message number to hex
804 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
805 "Backup in progress..."
806 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
807 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
808 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
809 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
810 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
811 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
812 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
813 a new class called PostalAddress
814 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
815 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
816 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
817 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
819 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
821 - added vCard converter class
822 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
823 of empty attribute values and parameters,
824 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
825 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
826 an extra nth argument, in order to search
827 for multiple attributes with the same name...
828 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
829 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
830 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
833 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
834 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
835 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
836 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
840 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
841 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
842 new Barry ID would look like a new change
843 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
844 - added support for slow sync
845 - added clear() to idmap class
846 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
847 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
848 - added Notification time support
849 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
850 does not exist in a vformat data block
851 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
852 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
853 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
854 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
855 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
856 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
857 special cases in the future
859 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
861 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
862 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
863 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
865 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
866 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
867 library API that is not yet finished... will be
868 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
869 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
871 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
872 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
873 the goal is to be able to do:
874 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
876 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
877 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
878 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
879 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
881 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
882 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
884 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
886 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
887 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
889 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
890 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
891 in general use will not break on build
892 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
893 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
894 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
896 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
898 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
899 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
900 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
901 SetIds() is already there
902 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
903 and moved into record.h
904 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
906 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
907 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
908 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
909 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
911 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
913 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
914 - changes to PIN message patch:
915 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
916 - fixed tab alignment throughout
917 - removed typedef from Address struct
918 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
919 going to be a standalone type
920 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
921 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
922 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
923 backing on a field for other use
924 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
925 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
926 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
927 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
928 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
929 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
930 PIN Message so that we store both of these
933 - added item to gui/TODO
934 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
936 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
937 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
938 modified to split into the new separate files system
939 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
940 - reformatted the code to match coding style
942 - added copyright notice
943 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
944 - placed in Barry namespace
945 - added #ifdef header protectors
946 - added new files to Makefile.am
947 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
948 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
949 Brian Edginton's patch
950 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
951 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
954 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
955 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
959 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
960 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
961 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
962 linker errors with the new file layout
964 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
965 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
966 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
968 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
969 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
970 and added a command line option to turn
971 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
972 - command line option --help now also works
973 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
974 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
975 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
976 localizing the constants in one place
978 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
979 fields in Contact and Calendar records
980 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
981 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
982 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
983 Outlook from the comments.
984 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
985 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
986 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
987 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
988 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
993 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
994 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
997 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
998 based on the example plugin in the opensync
999 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
1003 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
1004 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
1005 and then success afterward
1006 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
1007 - added item to gui's todo list
1008 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
1012 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1016 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
1017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1019 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
1020 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
1021 - updated maintainer/README
1022 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
1024 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
1025 - bumped release number in barry.spec
1028 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
1029 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
1030 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
1031 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
1033 - added development note to README
1035 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
1038 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
1039 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
1042 - removed some unneeded trace logs
1043 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
1045 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1046 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1048 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1049 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1051 - opensync module work:
1052 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1053 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1054 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1055 a hard coded calendar record state table
1056 - added lots of logging throughout
1057 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1058 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1059 causing another sync on the next run
1060 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1061 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1062 written to the Blackberry
1063 - more opensync module work:
1064 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1065 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1066 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1067 the environment classes
1068 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1069 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1071 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1072 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1073 a sample configuration
1074 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1075 on success (opensync module)
1076 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1077 - allowed comments in the config file
1078 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1079 routines are not available from the plugin side
1082 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1083 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1084 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1085 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1086 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1087 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1088 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1089 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1090 and the old search didn't always work
1091 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1092 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1093 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1094 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1095 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1096 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1097 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1098 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1099 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1101 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1102 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1103 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1105 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1106 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1108 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1110 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1111 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1113 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1115 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1117 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1118 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1119 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1120 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1121 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1122 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1123 this special case, without relying on string length.
1124 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1125 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1126 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1128 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1130 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1131 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1132 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1133 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1134 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1135 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1136 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1137 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1138 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1140 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1141 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1143 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1144 udev rules for the Pearl
1145 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1147 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1148 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1149 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1150 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1151 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1152 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1153 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1154 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1155 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1156 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1157 - added license file to each package
1158 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1161 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1162 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1164 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1165 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1166 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1168 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1169 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1170 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1171 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1172 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1173 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1174 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1175 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1176 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1178 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1179 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1185 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1188 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1190 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1191 device discovery code
1192 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1193 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1194 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1195 than are really available... in this case, let's
1196 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1197 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1198 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1199 - ReleaseChecklist update
1200 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1201 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1204 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1205 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1207 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1208 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1209 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1210 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1211 no databases selected in configuration
1212 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1213 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1214 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1215 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1216 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1218 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1219 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1220 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1221 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1222 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1223 -v now controls this as well
1224 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1225 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1226 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1227 the beginning of USB conversations
1228 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1229 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1230 its sequence number behaviour
1231 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1232 socket 0 level command
1233 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1234 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1235 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1236 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1237 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1238 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1239 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1240 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1241 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1242 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1243 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1244 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1245 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1247 - updated controller.cc:
1248 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1249 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1250 selecting modes, as it should use the
1251 socket 0 sequence number
1252 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1253 - updated some .cvsignore files
1255 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1256 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1261 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1262 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1263 new PasswordChallenge struct
1264 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1265 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1266 password hashing logic.
1267 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1269 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1270 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1271 - major LDIF overhaul:
1272 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1274 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1275 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1276 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1278 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1280 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1281 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1283 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1284 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1285 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1286 - large update to btool manpage
1287 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1289 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1290 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1291 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1292 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1293 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1294 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1295 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1296 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1297 instead of hardcoding it.
1299 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1300 - minor tweaks to README
1301 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1302 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1303 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1304 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1305 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1306 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1307 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1309 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1310 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1311 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1312 - added iomanip to debug.h
1313 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1314 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1317 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1318 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1319 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1320 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1323 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1324 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1326 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1328 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1329 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1330 one base class: Barry::Error
1331 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1332 - added BadPassword exception
1338 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1339 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1340 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1341 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1342 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1343 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1344 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1346 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1347 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1348 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1349 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1350 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1351 due to pending reads
1353 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1354 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1356 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1357 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1358 - iostream output size fixes
1359 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1360 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1361 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1362 this is still experimental
1363 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1364 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1366 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1367 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1368 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1369 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1371 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1372 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1373 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1374 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1375 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1376 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1377 and record objects that use it.
1378 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1379 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1381 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1382 This returns the default rectype that should work
1383 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1384 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1385 records, this info would be good to know.
1386 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1387 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1388 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1389 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1390 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1391 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1392 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1393 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1394 - backup GUI updates:
1395 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1396 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1397 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1398 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1399 i.e. Backup or Restore
1400 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1401 it appears to be read-only on the device
1402 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1403 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1404 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1405 supported now by the library
1407 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1408 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1410 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1411 using the library should not care about endianness
1412 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1413 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1415 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1417 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1418 Version call instead
1419 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1421 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1422 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1423 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1425 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1426 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1427 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1429 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1430 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1431 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1432 through btool, for development
1433 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1434 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1435 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1436 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1437 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1438 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1439 exceptions need to be handled with
1440 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1441 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1442 - added pending gui/TODO items
1444 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1445 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1446 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1447 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1448 when we try to write to it)
1449 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1451 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1453 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1454 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1455 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1456 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1457 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1459 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1460 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1461 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1462 backups only at this point
1464 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1465 - added version API, returning version number and string
1466 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1467 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1468 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1469 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1471 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1472 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1474 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1475 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1476 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1477 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1479 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1481 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1483 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1484 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1486 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1488 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1489 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1491 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1492 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1493 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1494 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1495 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1496 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1498 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1499 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1500 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1502 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1503 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1504 a future Debian install
1505 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1506 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1507 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1508 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1510 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1511 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1512 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1513 - fixed more endian issues
1514 - minor update to TODO
1516 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1517 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1519 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1520 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1521 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1522 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1524 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1525 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1526 on old build system if wanted
1527 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1528 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1529 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1530 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1531 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1532 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1534 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1535 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1536 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1537 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1538 properly when installed standalone
1539 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1540 installed barry library
1541 - added commentary on version number system
1542 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1543 system supercedes it

1545 - added library version number to autoconf build
1546 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1547 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1565 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1567 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1568 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1570 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1571 uploading to device to fail
1573 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1575 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1576 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc

1578 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1579 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1580 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1582 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1583 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1584 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1585 exceptions leak into the C library code
1587 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1588 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1590 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1591 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1593 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1596 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1597 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1598 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1599 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1600 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1601 header of its own, in the case of email
1602 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1603 Record does not know the details of the packet
1604 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1605 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1606 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1607 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1608 the record format details, but does know the
1609 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1611 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1612 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1613 record formats being the same even with different
1614 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1615 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1616 See the header size of the email record after
1618 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1619 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1620 The Controller object does not know the format
1621 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1622 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1623 to talk to the device.
1624 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1626 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1628 - added sample hotplug scripts
1629 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1630 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1631 handle non-little-endian machines
1632 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1633 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1634 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1635 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1636 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1637 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1638 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1639 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1641 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1643 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1644 flags of individual blackberry device records
1645 - added endian macros throughout the code
1647 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1648 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1649 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1651 - removed slow sync functions for now
1653 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1654 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1655 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1656 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1657 the base classes for all exceptions
1658 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1659 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1661 - added to Contact record class:
1663 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1664 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1665 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1666 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1667 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1668 and upload it to a blackberry
1669 - updated src/.cvsignore
1671 - added parsing of service book fields:
1673 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1675 - old and new description
1677 - bes domain / domain
1678 - date change in legal.txt
1679 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1680 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1681 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1682 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1683 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1685 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1686 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1687 - added AUTHORS file
1688 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1689 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1690 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1692 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1693 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1695 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1697 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile

1699 to the Controller class
1700 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1701 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1702 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1703 support of the template Controller functions
1704 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1705 returning errors properly
1706 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1707 of Controller template member usage
1709 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1711 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1712 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1714 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1715 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1716 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1717 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1718 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1719 constants... constants are now removed
1720 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1721 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1722 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree
1723 - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree
1724 - added roadmap to Todo list
1726 - added convenience Makefile in root directory
1727 - added Hacking document
1728 - minor touchups to README
1729 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1730 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1731 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1732 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1733 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1734 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1735 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1737 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1738 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1739 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1740 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1741 throw exception in controller.cc
1742 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1743 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1744 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1745 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1746 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1747 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1748 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1749 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser
1750 class, and "all day event" flag support
1752 - added autoconf to Todo list
1753 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1754 be reused for upload and download
1755 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1756 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1757 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1758 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts

1764 - added boost::serialization to build
1765 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1766 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1767 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1768 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1769 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1771 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1772 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1773 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld

1778 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1779 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1780 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1781 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1784 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1785 optimize away protocol struct casts

1792 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1793 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1794 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1796 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1797 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1799 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage
1800 - updated README for release
1801 - renamed SBError exception class to BError
1802 - updated Doxyfile to version 1.4.5
1803 - added more doxygen comments
1805 - added conversion routines (and tests) between time_t and min1900_t
1806 - added -v option to btool to dynamically control protocol dumping
1807 - removed duplicated database database table display in controller.cc
1808 - minor spelling corrections
1809 - added copyright to usbwrap.{h,cc} as per earlier meeting
1810 - added support for Old protocol Calendar entries
1812 - added legal.txt, to save typing when adding new source files
1813 - ignore test-base64 file (cvsignore)
1814 - added contact-to-ldif generation, and updated supporting code
1815 - added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
1816 - added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
1817 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1819 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1820 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1821 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1822 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1823 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1824 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1825 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1826 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1827 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1828 seem to need more time...)
1829 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1830 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1831 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1832 with Python, if used(?)
1833 - added Message class for Email records
1834 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1835 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1836 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1837 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1838 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1839 - cleaned up comments
1840 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
1841 - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
1842 - added Makefile.conf
1843 - added copyright notices to source files
1844 - added COPYING file with GPL
1845 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1846 store object pointers
1847 - added doxygen docs
1848 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1849 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1850 better suited to its general API purpose
1851 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1852 a public API function
1853 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1854 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1856 - added mode checks to Controller
1857 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1858 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1859 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1862 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1863 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1864 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1865 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1866 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1867 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1868 from the Command Table
1869 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1870 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1871 the Cassis spec more closely
1872 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1873 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1874 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1877 - added Doxyfile to the project
1879 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1880 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1881 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1883 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1884 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1885 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1886 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1887 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1888 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1889 less buffer than data copied
1890 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1891 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1892 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1893 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1895 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1896 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1898 - implemented socket::Close()
1899 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1900 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1901 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1903 - added .cvsignore files to project
1904 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1905 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1906 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1907 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1908 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1910 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1911 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1912 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1914 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1915 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1916 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1917 - regular debug output
1918 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1919 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1920 - raw data dump output
1921 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1922 numbers into english (limited success)
1923 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1924 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1925 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1926 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1927 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1928 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1929 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1930 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1931 for socket 0 operations.
1932 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1936 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1937 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1938 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1939 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1941 - syncberry tree started
