1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2008/05/15
4 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
5 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
6 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
7 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
8 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
9 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
10 IpModem endpoints are available
11 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
12 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
13 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
14 2008/05/10
15 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
16 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
17 2008/05/09
18 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
19 0.13 release
20 2008/05/02
21 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
22 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
23 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
24 I'm looking at you...)
25 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
26 if no command line arguments are specified
27 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
28 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
29 2008/05/01
30 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
31 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
32 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
33 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
34 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
35 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
36 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
37 like a null terminated string... also added more
38 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
39 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
40 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
41 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
42 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
43 on database records, for testing
44 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
45 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
46 which completes builder support
47 Checksums from the following commands now match:
48 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
49 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
50 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
51 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
52 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
53 2008/04/29
54 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
55 work again... Thanks!
56 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
57 - updated AUTHORS
58 2008/04/26
59 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
60 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
61 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
62 2008/04/25
63 - updated NEWS file
64 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
65 to Controller
66 2008/04/25

137 - partially implemented m_serial.{h,cc}... needs testing
138 - added automatic buffer allocation to SocketRoutingQueue
139 constructor

189 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
190 - added GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are visible
191 in the shared library, libbarry... this makes a drastic

193 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
194 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
196 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
197 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
198 2008/03/21
199 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
200 to avoid the CVS directories
201 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
202 diff.gz and dsc files
203 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
204 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
205 scripts
206 2008/03/13
207 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
208 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
209 real opensync libraries
210 2008/03/07
211 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
212 building RPM's from CVS
213 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
214 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
215 on ./configure command line
216 2008/03/06
217 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
218 so that the database name is stored as the first line
219 of the file
220 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
221 written by btool
222 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h

226 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
227 2008/02/29
228 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
229 Paul Dugas for the tip
230 2008/02/28
231 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
232 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
233 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
234 - updated AUTHORS file
235 2008/02/22
236 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
237 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
238 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
239 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
240 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
241 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
242 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
243 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
244 2008/01/25

251 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
252 - version bump:
253 - configure.ac
254 - src/Makefile.am

258 - rpm/barry.spec
259 - debian/changelog
260 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
261 - updated TODO
263 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
264 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
265 2007/12/01
266 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
267 - added pause to maintainer release script
268 2007/11/30
269 - version bump:
270 - configure.ac
271 - src/Makefile.am
272 - src/version.cc
273 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
274 - src/Doxygen
275 - rpm/barry.spec
276 - debian/changelog
277 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
279 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
280 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
281 2007/11/30
282 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
283 search by busname / devname
284 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
285 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
286 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
287 bus/device names, and updated the man page
288 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
289 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
290 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
291 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
292 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
293 spec file for opensuse
294 2007/11/29
295 - added better error checking to breset
296 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
297 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
298 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
299 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
300 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
301 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
302 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
303 is loaded!
304 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
305 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
306 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
307 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
308 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
309 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
310 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
311 make applications look more capable, not less.
312 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
313 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
314 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
315 they are so verbose
316 2007/11/27
317 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
318 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
319 to need this
320 2007/11/23
321 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
322 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
323 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
324 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
325 at the same time as usb_storage.
326 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
327 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
328 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
329 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
330 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
331 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
332 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
333 fail naturally on these devices.
334 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
335 2007/11/09
336 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
337 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
338 suggestion.
339 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
340 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
341 - AUTHORS update
342 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
343 opensync plugin
344 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
345 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
346 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
347 that release package builds can be done faster
348 2007/10/26
349 - opensync plugin fixes:
350 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
351 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
352 and keep track of the hierarchy when
353 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
354 - added support for searching for attributes only
355 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
356 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
357 2007/10/25
358 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
359 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
360 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
361 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
362 ToBarry conversion results
363 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
364 mktime, in vformat.c
365 - fixed typo in previous fix
366 2007/10/12
367 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
368 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
369 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
370 - version bump:
371 - configure.ac
372 - src/Makefile.am
373 - src/version.cc
374 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
375 - src/Doxygen
376 - rpm/barry.spec
377 - debian/changelog
378 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
379 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
380 the opensync plugin
381 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
382 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
383 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
384 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
386 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
387 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
388 2007/09/29
389 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
390 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
391 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
392 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
393 without recompiling the kernel.
394 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
395 2007/09/27
396 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
397 information in README files to html format, so that it
398 is commonly available on the web
399 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
400 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
401 2007/09/22
402 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
403 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
404 needed.... hmmmm
405 2007/09/21
406 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
407 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
408 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
409 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
410 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
411 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
412 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
413 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
414 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
415 explanatory document for various system requirements
416 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
417 2007/09/20
418 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
419 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
420 for opensuse rpm builds
421 2007/09/13
422 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
423 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
424 - fixed build target to i386
425 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
426 of overwriting it
427 2007/09/07
428 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
429 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
430 will be updated more frequently
431 2007/09/05
432 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
433 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
434 configure scripts to support external build directories
435 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
436 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
437 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
438 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
439 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
440 maintainer script
441 2007/08/24
442 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
443 parse the comma separated string into an array,
444 and back
445 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
446 and will affect backward compatibility with
447 old serialization datafiles
448 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
449 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
450 2007/08/23
451 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
452 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
453 to throw it on error
454 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
455 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
456 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
457 - fixed in opensync plugin:
458 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
459 so added lower case conversion routine
460 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
461 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
462 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
463 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
464 2007/08/20
465 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
466 - added status message to endpoint override
467 2007/08/18
468 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
469 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
470 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
471 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
472 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
473 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
474 the gory details.
475 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
476 The description is now part of the probe results
477 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
478 a new attribute definition.
479 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
480 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
481 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
482 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
483 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
484 in order to better support SWIG and Python
485 2007/08/17
486 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
487 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
488 settings automatically where possible
489 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
490 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
491 2007/08/16
492 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
493 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
494 error.cc is now an empty shell
495 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
496 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
497 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
498 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
499 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
500 2007/08/09
501 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
502 - version bump:
503 - configure.ac
504 - src/Makefile.am
505 - src/version.cc
506 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
507 - src/Doxygen
508 - rpm/barry.spec
509 - debian/changelog
510 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
511 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
512 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
514 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
515 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
516 2007/08/03
517 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
518 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
519 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
520 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
521 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
522 devices
523 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
524 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
525 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
526 endian bug in the process)
527 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
528 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
529 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
530 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
531 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
532 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
533 - opensync-plugin/README update
534 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
535 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
536 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
537 2007/08/01
538 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
539 2007/07/28
540 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
541 2007/07/27
542 - opensync plugin:
543 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
544 for the broken-down name instead of N
545 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
546 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
547 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
548 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
549 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
550 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
551 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
552 registered two. Moving to single change commit
553 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
554 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
555 ease memory pressure in the library.
556 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
557 syncing completion
558 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
559 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
560 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
561 2007/07/26
562 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
563 requiring a file
564 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
565 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
566 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
567 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
568 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
569 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
570 record into the device.... First/Last Name
571 fields are position sensitive, and the code
572 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
573 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
574 were not updated to handle the new field
575 table added for the postal address changes
576 on 2007/07/20, oops
577 - opensync plugin:
578 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
579 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
580 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
581 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
582 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
583 UID strings, instead of just numbers
584 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
585 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
586 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
587 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
588 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
589 automatically
590 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
591 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
592 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
593 sync the wrong device and lose data.
594 Actions to take on new PIN:
595 - force slow_sync, or
596 - fail
597 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
598 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
599 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
600 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
601 and didn't write
602 - changed PIN error message number to hex
603 2007/07/20
604 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
605 "Backup in progress..."
606 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
607 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
608 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
609 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
610 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
611 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
612 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
613 a new class called PostalAddress
614 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
615 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
616 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
617 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
618 - opensync plugin:
619 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
620 called vBase
621 - added vCard converter class
622 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
623 of empty attribute values and parameters,
624 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
625 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
626 an extra nth argument, in order to search
627 for multiple attributes with the same name...
628 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
629 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
630 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
631 pain
632 2007/07/19
633 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
634 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
635 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
636 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
637 Blackberries.
638 2007/07/14
639 - opensync plugin:
640 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
641 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
642 new Barry ID would look like a new change
643 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
644 - added support for slow sync
645 - added clear() to idmap class
646 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
647 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
648 - added Notification time support
649 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
650 does not exist in a vformat data block
651 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
652 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
653 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
654 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
655 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
656 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
657 special cases in the future
658 2007/07/13
659 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
660 2007/07/12
661 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
662 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
663 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
664 2007/07/06
665 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
666 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
667 library API that is not yet finished... will be
668 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
669 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
670 2007/06/29
671 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
672 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
673 the goal is to be able to do:
674 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
675 mutt -f email.mbox
676 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
677 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
678 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
679 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
680 2007/06/28
681 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
682 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
683 in configure.ac
684 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
685 2007/06/21
686 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
687 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
688 2007/06/14
689 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
690 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
691 in general use will not break on build
692 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
693 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
694 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
695 2007/06/08
696 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
697 dependency
698 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
699 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
700 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
701 SetIds() is already there
702 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
703 and moved into record.h
704 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
705 be more mbox-like
706 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
707 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
708 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
709 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
710 2007/06/07
711 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
712 2007/06/06
713 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
714 - changes to PIN message patch:
715 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
716 - fixed tab alignment throughout
717 - removed typedef from Address struct
718 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
719 going to be a standalone type
720 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
721 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
722 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
723 backing on a field for other use
724 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
725 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
726 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
727 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
728 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
729 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
730 PIN Message so that we store both of these
731 - updated AUTHORS
732 2007/05/27
733 - added item to gui/TODO
734 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
735 2007/05/25
736 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
737 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
738 modified to split into the new separate files system
739 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
740 - reformatted the code to match coding style
741 (come on Brian) :-)
742 - added copyright notice
743 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
744 - placed in Barry namespace
745 - added #ifdef header protectors
746 - added new files to Makefile.am
747 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
748 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
749 Brian Edginton's patch
750 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
751 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
752 - updated AUTHORS
753 2007/05/24
754 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
755 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
756 - ClassFlag
757 - FreeBusyFlag
758 - Clear() fixes
759 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
760 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
761 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
762 linker errors with the new file layout
763 2007/05/17
764 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
765 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
766 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
767 - backup gui:
768 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
769 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
770 and added a command line option to turn
771 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
772 - command line option --help now also works
773 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
774 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
775 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
776 localizing the constants in one place
777 2007/05/11
778 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
779 fields in Contact and Calendar records
780 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
781 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
782 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
783 Outlook from the comments.
784 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
785 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
786 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
787 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
788 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
789 libbarry
790 libbarry-dev
791 barry-util
792 barrybackup-gui
793 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
794 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
795 small on Debian Etch
796 - opensync plugin:
797 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
798 based on the example plugin in the opensync
799 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
800 is incomplete
801 2007/05/04
802 - opensync plugin:
803 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
804 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
805 and then success afterward
806 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
807 - added item to gui's todo list
808 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
809 - configure.ac
810 - src/Makefile.am
811 - src/version.cc
812 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
813 - src/Doxygen
814 - rpm/barry*.spec
816 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
817 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
818 2007/05/02
819 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
820 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
821 - updated maintainer/README
822 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
823 2007/05/01
824 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
825 - bumped release number in barry.spec
826 2007/04/30
827 - opensync plugin:
828 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
829 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
830 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
831 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
832 xml data format...
833 - added development note to README
834 2007/04/29
835 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
836 build instructions
837 - opensync plugin:
838 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
839 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
840 2007/04/27
841 - opensync module:
842 - removed some unneeded trace logs
843 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
844 m_Data pointer
845 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
846 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
847 if empty
848 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
849 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
850 2007/04/26
851 - opensync module work:
852 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
853 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
854 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
855 a hard coded calendar record state table
856 - added lots of logging throughout
857 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
858 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
859 causing another sync on the next run
860 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
861 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
862 written to the Blackberry
863 - more opensync module work:
864 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
865 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
866 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
867 the environment classes
868 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
869 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
870 2007/04/20
871 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
872 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
873 a sample configuration
874 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
875 on success (opensync module)
876 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
877 - allowed comments in the config file
878 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
879 routines are not available from the plugin side
880 2007/04/19
881 - updated gui/TODO
882 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
883 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
884 only use idProduct, and updated man page
885 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
886 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
887 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
888 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
889 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
890 and the old search didn't always work
891 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
892 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
893 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
894 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
895 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
896 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
897 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
898 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
899 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
900 search at 0
901 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
902 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
903 the vevent20 data (experimental)
904 2007/04/04
905 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
906 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
907 2007/03/30
908 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
909 if found
910 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
911 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
912 of the project
913 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
914 2007/03/29
915 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
916 - updated AUTHORS
917 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
918 FullName, even if there was no last name)
919 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
920 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
921 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
922 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
923 this special case, without relying on string length.
924 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
925 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
926 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
927 2007/03/17
928 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
929 2007/03/16
930 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
931 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
932 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
933 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
934 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
935 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
936 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
937 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
938 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
939 in some cases
940 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
941 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
942 2007/03/08
943 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
944 udev rules for the Pearl
945 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
946 functionality
947 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
948 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
949 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
950 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
951 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
952 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
953 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
954 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
955 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
956 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
957 - added license file to each package
958 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
959 discussion
960 - updated AUTHORS
961 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
962 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
963 for the bug report
964 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
965 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
966 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
967 user.
968 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
969 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
970 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
971 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
972 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
973 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
974 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
975 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
976 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
977 as a guide
978 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
979 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
980 2007/03/02
981 - version bump in:
982 - configure.ac
983 - src/Makefile.am
984 - src/version.cc
985 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
986 - src/Doxyfile
987 - rpm/barry.spec
988 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
989 for it
990 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
991 device discovery code
992 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
993 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
994 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
995 than are really available... in this case, let's
996 just ignore the missing data and assume success
997 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
998 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
999 - ReleaseChecklist update
1000 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1001 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1002 dependency
1004 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1006 2007/02/28
1007 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1008 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1009 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1010 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1011 no databases selected in configuration
1012 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1013 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1014 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1015 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1016 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1017 2007/02/23
1018 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1019 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1020 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1021 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1022 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1023 -v now controls this as well
1024 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1025 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1026 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1027 the beginning of USB conversations
1028 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1029 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1030 its sequence number behaviour
1031 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1032 socket 0 level command
1033 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1034 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1035 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1036 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1037 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1038 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1039 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1040 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1041 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1042 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1043 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1044 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1045 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1046 of socket 0 packets
1047 - updated controller.cc:
1048 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1049 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1050 selecting modes, as it should use the
1051 socket 0 sequence number
1052 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1053 - updated some .cvsignore files
1054 - updated TODO
1055 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1056 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1057 - ChallengeSeed()
1058 - RemainingTries()
1059 - SocketResponse()
1060 - SocketSqeuence()
1061 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1062 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1063 new PasswordChallenge struct
1064 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1065 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1066 password hashing logic.
1067 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1068 2007/02/22
1069 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1070 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1071 - major LDIF overhaul:
1072 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1073 into its own
1074 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1075 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1076 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1077 contact field names
1078 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1079 if necessary
1080 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1081 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1082 encoded
1083 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1084 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1085 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1086 - large update to btool manpage
1087 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1088 2007/02/15
1089 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1090 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1091 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1092 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1093 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1094 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1095 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1096 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1097 instead of hardcoding it.
1098 2007/02/10
1099 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1100 - minor tweaks to README
1101 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1102 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1103 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1104 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1105 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1106 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1107 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1108 2007/02/09
1109 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1110 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1111 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1112 - added iomanip to debug.h
1113 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1114 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1115 2007/02/04
1116 - updated AUTHORS
1117 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1118 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1119 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1120 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1121 from Ian Darwin
1122 2007/02/03
1123 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1124 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1125 - updated AUTHORS
1126 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1127 2007/02/02
1128 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1129 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1130 one base class: Barry::Error
1131 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1132 - added BadPassword exception
1133 2007/02/01
1134 - version bump in:
1135 - configure.ac
1136 - src/Makefile.am
1137 - src/version.cc
1138 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1139 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1140 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1141 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1142 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1143 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1144 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1145 in the future.
1146 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1147 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1148 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1149 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1150 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1151 due to pending reads
1153 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1154 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1155 2007/01/26
1156 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1157 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1158 - iostream output size fixes
1159 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1160 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1161 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1162 this is still experimental
1163 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1164 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1165 Debian stable
1166 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1167 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1168 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1169 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1170 2007/01/25
1171 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1172 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1173 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1174 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1175 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1176 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1177 and record objects that use it.
1178 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1179 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1180 32 bits
1181 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1182 This returns the default rectype that should work
1183 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1184 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1185 records, this info would be good to know.
1186 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1187 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1188 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1189 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1190 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1191 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1192 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1193 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1194 - backup GUI updates:
1195 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1196 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1197 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1198 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1199 i.e. Backup or Restore
1200 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1201 it appears to be read-only on the device
1202 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1203 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1204 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1205 supported now by the library
1206 2007/01/21
1207 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1208 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1209 - changes to patch:
1210 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1211 using the library should not care about endianness
1212 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1213 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1214 install
1215 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1216 for the same reason
1217 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1218 Version call instead
1219 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1220 - updated AUTHORS
1221 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1222 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1223 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1224 2007/01/20
1225 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1226 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1227 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1228 some older devices
1229 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1230 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1231 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1232 through btool, for development
1233 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1234 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1235 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1236 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1237 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1238 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1239 exceptions need to be handled with
1240 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1241 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1242 - added pending gui/TODO items
1243 2007/01/19
1244 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1245 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1246 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1247 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1248 when we try to write to it)
1249 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1250 2007/01/18
1251 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1252 2007/01/13
1253 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1254 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1255 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1256 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1257 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1258 - updated README
1259 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1260 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1261 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1262 backups only at this point
1263 2007/01/11
1264 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1265 - added version API, returning version number and string
1266 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1267 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1268 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1269 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1270 2007/01/05
1271 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1272 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1273 in probe.h)
1274 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1275 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1276 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1277 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1278 2007/01/04
1279 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1280 different rules
1281 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1282 USB product ID 6
1283 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1284 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1285 2006/12/29
1286 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1288 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1289 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1290 2006/12/29
1291 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1292 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1293 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1294 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1295 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1296 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1297 depend on.
1298 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1299 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1300 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1301 package scripts
1302 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1303 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1304 a future Debian install
1305 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1306 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1307 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1308 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1309 2006/12/21
1310 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1311 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1312 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1313 - fixed more endian issues
1314 - minor update to TODO
1315 2006/12/15
1316 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1317 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1318 2006/12/08
1319 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1320 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1321 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1322 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1323 2006/12/07
1324 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1325 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1326 on old build system if wanted
1327 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1328 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1329 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1330 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1331 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1332 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1333 use only
1334 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1335 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1336 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1337 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1338 properly when installed standalone
1339 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1340 installed barry library
1341 - added commentary on version number system
1342 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1343 system supercedes it
1344 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1345 - added library version number to autoconf build
1346 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1347 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1348 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1349 option... may need to revisit this later
1350 - quick installation update in README
1351 2006/12/01
1352 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1353 some size checks
1354 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1355 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1356 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1357 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1358 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1359 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1360 2006/11/24
1361 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1362 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1364 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1365 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1366 2006/11/23
1367 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1368 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1369 from any int
1370 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1371 uploading to device to fail
1372 2006/11/10

1377 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1378 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1379 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1380 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1381 at once
1382 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1383 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1384 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1385 exceptions leak into the C library code
1387 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1388 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1389 2006/10/12
1390 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1391 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1392 2006/09/29
1393 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1394 the bug report
1395 2006/09/08
1396 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1397 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1398 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1399 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1400 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1401 header of its own, in the case of email
1402 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1403 Record does not know the details of the packet
1404 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1405 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1406 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1407 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1408 the record format details, but does know the
1409 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1410 packet format.
1411 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1412 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1413 record formats being the same even with different
1414 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1415 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1416 See the header size of the email record after
1417 refactoring.
1418 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1419 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1420 The Controller object does not know the format
1421 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1422 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1423 to talk to the device.
1424 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1425 we come!
1426 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1427 2006/09/01
1428 - added sample hotplug scripts
1429 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1430 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1431 handle non-little-endian machines
1432 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1433 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1434 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1435 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1436 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1437 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1438 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1439 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1440 engineered.
1441 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1442 for smarter syncing
1443 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1444 flags of individual blackberry device records
1445 - added endian macros throughout the code
1446 2006/07/13
1447 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1448 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1449 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1450 for development)
1451 - removed slow sync functions for now
1452 2006/07/07
1453 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1454 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1455 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1456 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1457 the base classes for all exceptions
1458 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1459 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1460 2006/06/22
1461 - added to Contact record class:
1462 - Clear()
1463 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1464 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1465 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1466 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1467 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1468 and upload it to a blackberry
1469 - updated src/.cvsignore
1470 2006/06/16
1471 - added parsing of service book fields:
1472 - old and new name
1473 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1474 - content ID (CID)
1475 - old and new description
1476 - DSID
1477 - bes domain / domain
1478 - date change in legal.txt
1479 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1480 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1481 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1482 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1483 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1484 2006/06/09
1485 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1486 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1487 - added AUTHORS file
1488 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1489 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1490 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1491 2006/05/25
1492 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1493 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1494 2006/05/18
1495 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1496 2006/03/31
1497 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1498 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1499 to the Controller class

1507 of Controller template member usage
1508 2006/03/29
1509 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1510 2006/01/05
1511 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1512 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1513 2005/12/30
1514 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1515 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1516 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1517 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1518 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1519 constants... constants are now removed
1520 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1521 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1522 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

1540 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1541 throw exception in controller.cc
1542 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1543 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1544 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1545 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1546 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1547 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1548 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1564 - added boost::serialization to build
1565 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1566 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1567 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1568 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1569 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1570 properly serialized
1571 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1572 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data

1591 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1592 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1593 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1594 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1596 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1618 2005/11/19
1619 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1620 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1621 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1622 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1623 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1624 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1625 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1626 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1627 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1628 seem to need more time...)
1629 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1630 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1631 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1632 with Python, if used(?)
1633 - added Message class for Email records
1634 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1635 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1636 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1637 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1638 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1639 - cleaned up comments

1649 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1650 better suited to its general API purpose
1651 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1652 a public API function
1653 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1654 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1655 the command line
1656 - added mode checks to Controller
1657 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1658 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

1660 file based
1661 2005/11/18

1663 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1664 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1665 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output

1667 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1668 from the Command Table
1669 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1670 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1671 the Cassis spec more closely
1672 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1673 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1674 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1675 destructors
1676 2005/11/17
1677 - added Doxyfile to the project
1678 - tuned Makefile
1679 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1680 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1681 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1682 data transfers.
1683 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1684 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1685 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1686 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1687 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1688 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1689 less buffer than data copied
1690 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1691 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1692 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1693 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1694 data
1695 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1696 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1697 saved
1698 - implemented socket::Close()
1699 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1700 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1701 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1702 2005/11/11
1703 - added .cvsignore files to project
1704 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1705 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1706 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1707 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1708 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1709 -l = list only
1710 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1711 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1712 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1713 results
1714 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1715 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1716 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1717 - regular debug output
1718 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1719 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1720 - raw data dump output
1721 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1722 numbers into english (limited success)
1723 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1724 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1725 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1726 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1727 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1728 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1729 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1730 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1731 for socket 0 operations.
1732 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1733 MAKE_PACKET()
1734 COMMAND()
1735 IS_COMMAND()
1736 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1737 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
