1 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
5 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
7 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
10 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
11 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
13 - updated AUTHORS file
15 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
16 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
17 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
18 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
19 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
20 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
21 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
22 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
24 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
25 - updated copyright statments for 2008
27 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
29 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
30 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
35 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
39 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
42 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
43 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
46 - added pause to maintainer release script
52 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
56 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
58 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
59 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
61 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
62 search by busname / devname
63 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
64 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
65 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
66 bus/device names, and updated the man page
67 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
68 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
69 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
70 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
71 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
72 spec file for opensuse
74 - added better error checking to breset
75 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
76 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
77 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
78 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
79 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
80 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
81 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
83 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
84 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
85 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
86 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
87 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
88 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
89 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
90 make applications look more capable, not less.
91 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
92 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
93 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
96 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
97 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
100 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
101 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
102 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
103 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
104 at the same time as usb_storage.
105 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
106 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
107 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
108 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
109 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
110 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
111 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
112 fail naturally on these devices.
113 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
115 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
116 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
118 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
119 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
121 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
123 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
124 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
125 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
126 that release package builds can be done faster
128 - opensync plugin fixes:
129 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
130 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
131 and keep track of the hierarchy when
132 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
133 - added support for searching for attributes only
134 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
135 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
137 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
138 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
139 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
140 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
141 ToBarry conversion results
142 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
144 - fixed typo in previous fix
146 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
147 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
148 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
153 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
157 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
158 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
160 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
161 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
162 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
163 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
165 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
166 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
168 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
169 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
170 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
171 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
172 without recompiling the kernel.
173 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
175 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
176 information in README files to html format, so that it
177 is commonly available on the web
178 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
179 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
181 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
182 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
185 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
186 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
187 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
188 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
189 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
190 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
191 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
192 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
193 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
194 explanatory document for various system requirements
195 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
197 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
198 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
199 for opensuse rpm builds
201 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
202 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
203 - fixed build target to i386
204 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
207 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
208 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
209 will be updated more frequently
211 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
212 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
213 configure scripts to support external build directories
214 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
215 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
216 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
217 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
218 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
221 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
222 parse the comma separated string into an array,
224 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
225 and will affect backward compatibility with
226 old serialization datafiles
227 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
228 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
230 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
231 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
233 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
234 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
235 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
236 - fixed in opensync plugin:
237 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
238 so added lower case conversion routine
239 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
240 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
241 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
242 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
244 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
245 - added status message to endpoint override
247 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
248 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
249 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
250 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
251 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
252 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
254 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
255 The description is now part of the probe results
256 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
257 a new attribute definition.
258 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
259 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
260 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
261 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
262 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
263 in order to better support SWIG and Python
265 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
266 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
267 settings automatically where possible
268 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
269 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
271 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
272 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
273 error.cc is now an empty shell
274 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
275 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
276 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
277 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
278 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
280 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
285 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
289 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
290 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
291 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
293 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
294 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
296 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
297 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
298 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
299 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
300 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
302 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
303 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
304 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
305 endian bug in the process)
306 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
307 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
308 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
309 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
310 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
311 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
312 - opensync-plugin/README update
313 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
314 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
315 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
317 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
319 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
322 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
323 for the broken-down name instead of N
324 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
325 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
326 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
327 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
328 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
329 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
330 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
331 registered two. Moving to single change commit
332 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
333 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
334 ease memory pressure in the library.
335 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
337 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
338 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
339 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
341 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
343 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
344 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
345 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
346 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
347 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
348 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
349 record into the device.... First/Last Name
350 fields are position sensitive, and the code
351 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
352 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
353 were not updated to handle the new field
354 table added for the postal address changes
357 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
358 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
359 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
360 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
361 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
362 UID strings, instead of just numbers
363 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
364 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
365 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
366 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
367 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
369 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
370 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
371 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
372 sync the wrong device and lose data.
373 Actions to take on new PIN:
374 - force slow_sync, or
376 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
377 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
378 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
379 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
381 - changed PIN error message number to hex
383 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
384 "Backup in progress..."
385 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
386 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
387 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
388 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
389 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
390 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
391 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
392 a new class called PostalAddress
393 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
394 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
395 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
396 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
398 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
400 - added vCard converter class
401 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
402 of empty attribute values and parameters,
403 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
404 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
405 an extra nth argument, in order to search
406 for multiple attributes with the same name...
407 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
408 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
409 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
412 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
413 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
414 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
415 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
419 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
420 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
421 new Barry ID would look like a new change
422 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
423 - added support for slow sync
424 - added clear() to idmap class
425 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
426 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
427 - added Notification time support
428 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
429 does not exist in a vformat data block
430 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
431 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
432 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
433 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
434 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
435 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
436 special cases in the future
438 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
440 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
441 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
442 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
444 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
445 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
446 library API that is not yet finished... will be
447 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
448 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
450 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
451 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
452 the goal is to be able to do:
453 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
455 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
456 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
457 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
458 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
460 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
461 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
463 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
465 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
466 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
468 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
469 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
470 in general use will not break on build
471 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
472 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
473 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
475 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
477 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
478 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
479 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
480 SetIds() is already there
481 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
482 and moved into record.h
483 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
485 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
486 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
487 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
488 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
490 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
492 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
493 - changes to PIN message patch:
494 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
495 - fixed tab alignment throughout
496 - removed typedef from Address struct
497 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
498 going to be a standalone type
499 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
500 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
501 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
502 backing on a field for other use
503 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
504 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
505 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
506 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
507 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
508 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
509 PIN Message so that we store both of these
512 - added item to gui/TODO
513 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
515 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
516 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
517 modified to split into the new separate files system
518 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
519 - reformatted the code to match coding style
521 - added copyright notice
522 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
523 - placed in Barry namespace
524 - added #ifdef header protectors
525 - added new files to Makefile.am
526 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
527 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
528 Brian Edginton's patch
529 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
530 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
533 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
534 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
538 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
539 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
540 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
541 linker errors with the new file layout
543 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
544 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
545 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
547 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
548 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
549 and added a command line option to turn
550 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
551 - command line option --help now also works
552 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
553 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
554 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
555 localizing the constants in one place
557 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
558 fields in Contact and Calendar records
559 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
560 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
561 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
562 Outlook from the comments.
563 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
564 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
565 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
566 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
567 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
572 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
573 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
576 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
577 based on the example plugin in the opensync
578 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
582 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
583 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
584 and then success afterward
585 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
586 - added item to gui's todo list
587 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
591 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
595 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
596 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
598 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

600 - updated maintainer/README
601 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
603 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
604 - bumped release number in barry.spec
607 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
608 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
609 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
610 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
612 - added development note to README
614 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
617 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
618 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
621 - removed some unneeded trace logs
622 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
624 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
625 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
627 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
628 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
630 - opensync module work:
631 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
632 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
633 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
634 a hard coded calendar record state table
635 - added lots of logging throughout
636 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
637 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
638 causing another sync on the next run
639 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
640 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
641 written to the Blackberry
642 - more opensync module work:
643 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
644 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
645 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
646 the environment classes
647 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
648 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
650 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
651 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
652 a sample configuration
653 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
654 on success (opensync module)
655 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
656 - allowed comments in the config file
657 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
658 routines are not available from the plugin side
661 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
662 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
663 only use idProduct, and updated man page
664 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
665 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
666 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
667 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
668 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
669 and the old search didn't always work
670 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
671 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
672 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
673 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
674 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
675 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
676 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
677 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
678 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
680 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
681 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
682 the vevent20 data (experimental)
684 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
685 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
687 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
689 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
690 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
692 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
694 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
696 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
697 FullName, even if there was no last name)
698 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
699 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
700 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
701 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
702 this special case, without relying on string length.
703 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
704 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
705 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
707 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
709 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
710 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
711 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
712 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
713 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
714 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
715 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
716 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
717 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
719 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
720 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
722 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
723 udev rules for the Pearl
724 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
726 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
727 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
728 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
729 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
730 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
731 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
732 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
733 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
734 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
735 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
736 - added license file to each package
737 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
740 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
741 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
743 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
744 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
745 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
747 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
748 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
749 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
750 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
751 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
752 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
753 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
754 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
755 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
757 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
758 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
764 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
767 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
769 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
770 device discovery code
771 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
772 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
773 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
774 than are really available... in this case, let's
775 just ignore the missing data and assume success
776 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
777 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
778 - ReleaseChecklist update
779 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
780 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
783 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
784 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
786 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
787 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
788 - added initial release maintainer scripts
789 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
790 no databases selected in configuration
791 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
792 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
793 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
794 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
795 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
797 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
798 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
799 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
800 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
801 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
802 -v now controls this as well
803 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
804 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
805 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
806 the beginning of USB conversations
807 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
808 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
809 its sequence number behaviour
810 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
811 socket 0 level command
812 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
813 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
814 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
815 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
816 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
817 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
818 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
819 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
820 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
821 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
822 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
823 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
824 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
826 - updated controller.cc:
827 - uses new socket 0 implementation
828 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
829 selecting modes, as it should use the
830 socket 0 sequence number
831 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
832 - updated some .cvsignore files
834 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
835 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
840 - moved Command() to base Packet class
841 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
842 new PasswordChallenge struct
843 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
844 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
845 password hashing logic.
846 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
848 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
849 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
850 - major LDIF overhaul:
851 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
853 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
854 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
855 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
857 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
859 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
860 notes fields were missed in old version if not
862 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
863 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
864 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
865 - large update to btool manpage
866 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
868 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
869 - removed commented code from translate.cc
870 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
871 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
872 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
873 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
874 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
875 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
876 instead of hardcoding it.
878 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
879 - minor tweaks to README
880 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
881 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
882 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
883 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
884 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
885 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
886 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
888 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
889 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
890 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
891 - added iomanip to debug.h
892 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
893 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
896 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
897 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
898 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
899 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
902 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
903 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
905 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
907 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
908 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
909 one base class: Barry::Error
910 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
911 - added BadPassword exception
917 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
918 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
919 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
920 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
921 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
922 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
923 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
925 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
926 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
927 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
928 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
929 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
932 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
933 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
935 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
936 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
937 - iostream output size fixes
938 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
939 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
940 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
941 this is still experimental
942 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
943 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
945 - uncommented the about box menu handler
946 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
947 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
948 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
950 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
951 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
952 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
953 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
954 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
955 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
956 and record objects that use it.
957 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
958 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
960 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
961 This returns the default rectype that should work
962 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
963 the device, but in the case where a database has no
964 records, this info would be good to know.
965 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
966 to use GetDefaultRecType()
967 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
968 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
969 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
970 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
971 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
972 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
973 - backup GUI updates:
974 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
975 and changed the logic so the restore continues
976 even if there was a protocol error on one database
977 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
978 i.e. Backup or Restore
979 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
980 it appears to be read-only on the device
981 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
982 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
983 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
984 supported now by the library
986 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
987 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
989 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
990 using the library should not care about endianness
991 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
992 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
994 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
996 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
998 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1000 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1001 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1002 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1004 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1005 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1006 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1008 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1009 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1010 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1011 through btool, for development
1012 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1013 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1014 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1015 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1016 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1017 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1018 exceptions need to be handled with
1019 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1020 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1021 - added pending gui/TODO items
1023 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1024 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1025 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1026 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1027 when we try to write to it)
1028 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1030 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1032 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1033 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1034 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1035 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1036 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1038 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1039 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1040 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1041 backups only at this point
1043 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1044 - added version API, returning version number and string
1045 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1046 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1047 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1048 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1050 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1051 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1053 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1054 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1055 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1056 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1058 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1060 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1062 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1063 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1065 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1067 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1068 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1070 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1071 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1072 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1073 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1074 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1075 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1077 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1078 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1079 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1081 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1082 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1083 a future Debian install
1084 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1085 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1086 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1087 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1089 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1090 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1091 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1092 - fixed more endian issues
1093 - minor update to TODO
1095 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1096 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1098 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1099 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1100 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1101 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1103 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1104 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1105 on old build system if wanted
1106 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1107 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1108 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1109 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1110 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1111 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1113 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1114 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1115 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1116 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1117 properly when installed standalone
1118 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1119 installed barry library
1120 - added commentary on version number system
1121 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1122 system supercedes it
1123 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1124 - added library version number to autoconf build
1125 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1126 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1127 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1128 option... may need to revisit this later
1129 - quick installation update in README
1131 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1133 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1134 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1135 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1136 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1137 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1138 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1140 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1141 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1143 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1144 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1146 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1147 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1149 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1150 uploading to device to fail
1152 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1154 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1155 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1156 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1157 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1158 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1159 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1161 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1162 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1163 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1164 exceptions leak into the C library code
1166 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1167 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1169 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1170 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1172 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1175 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1176 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1177 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1178 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1179 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1180 header of its own, in the case of email
1181 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1182 Record does not know the details of the packet
1183 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1184 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1185 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1186 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1187 the record format details, but does know the
1188 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1190 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1191 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1192 record formats being the same even with different
1193 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1194 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1195 See the header size of the email record after
1197 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1198 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1199 The Controller object does not know the format
1200 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1201 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1202 to talk to the device.
1203 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1205 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1207 - added sample hotplug scripts
1208 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1209 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1210 handle non-little-endian machines
1211 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1212 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1213 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1214 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1215 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1216 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1217 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1218 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1220 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed

1259 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1260 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1261 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1262 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1264 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1265 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1266 - added AUTHORS file
1267 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1268 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1269 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1319 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1320 throw exception in controller.cc
1321 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1322 contact data to the device, it may be important to write

1370 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1371 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1372 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1373 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1398 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1399 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1400 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1401 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1402 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1403 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1404 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1405 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1406 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1407 seem to need more time...)
1408 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1409 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1410 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1411 with Python, if used(?)
1412 - added Message class for Email records

1443 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1444 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1445 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the

1447 from the Command Table
1448 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1449 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1450 the Cassis spec more closely
1451 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing

1453 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1456 - added Doxyfile to the project
1458 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1459 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1460 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1462 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1463 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class

1468 less buffer than data copied
1469 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1470 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1471 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1472 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1474 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1475 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1477 - implemented socket::Close()
1478 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1487 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1489 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1490 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1491 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1493 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1494 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1495 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1496 - regular debug output
1497 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1498 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1499 - raw data dump output
1500 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1501 numbers into english (limited success)
1502 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1503 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1504 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1505 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1506 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1507 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1508 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1509 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1510 for socket 0 operations.
1511 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1515 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1516 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1517 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1518 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1520 - syncberry tree started
