1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/06/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - updated udev rules to recognize devices with the 8004 Product ID
5 - fixed bug in test/buildtest.sh when opensync is not pre-built
7 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
8 the directory that contains it
9 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
11 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
12 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
13 headers, as it is an internal header only
14 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
15 - added -j option to make to speed builds
16 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
18 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
19 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
20 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
21 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
22 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
23 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
25 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
26 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
28 - added beginnings of a build system test script
29 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
30 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
32 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
33 well as listing some network security concerns
35 - added modem reset workaround to web documentation page
36 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
37 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
38 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
39 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
40 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
41 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
42 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
43 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
45 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
46 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
47 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
48 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
51 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
52 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
53 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
54 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
55 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
56 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
57 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
58 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
60 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
61 - documentation updates:
62 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
63 - added instructions for building from tarball
64 - added bugs.php and contact.php pages

77 - updated rpm spec file history
78 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
79 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
80 and updated the build process to support them.
81 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
82 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
83 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
84 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc
85 - deleted old src/Makefile.orig
86 - updated Debian binary package:
87 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, pppob, upldif,
89 - added ppp options and chat scripts, with postinit
90 script to set permissions
91 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
93 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
94 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
95 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
97 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
100 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,
101 enabled "usepeerdns" in both, and disabled the speed
102 setting in barry-verizon
103 - updates to website documentation
104 - added FC9 to distro list
105 - added page for BarryBackup
106 - added page for USB modem / pppob
108 - added sample ppp options files for Verizon Blackberries
109 Sample files from Michael L. Stokes
111 - renamed sample ppp peer files, in preparation for installing
112 them automatically in binary packages
113 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
114 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
116 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
117 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
118 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
119 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
120 such as with pppob...
121 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
122 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
123 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
124 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
125 order (no code change, only move)
126 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
127 possible to determine whether a program is using
128 threaded or non-threaded sockets
129 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
130 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
131 and updated the man page
132 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
133 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
136 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
137 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
138 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
139 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
140 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
141 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
142 IpModem endpoints are available
143 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
144 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
145 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
146 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
147 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
149 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
150 to file instead of stderr
151 - added man page for pppob
153 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
154 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
156 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
159 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
160 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
161 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
162 I'm looking at you...)
163 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
164 if no command line arguments are specified
165 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
166 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
168 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
169 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
170 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
171 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
172 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
173 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
174 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
175 like a null terminated string... also added more
176 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
177 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
178 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
179 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
180 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
181 on database records, for testing
182 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
183 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
184 which completes builder support
185 Checksums from the following commands now match:
186 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
187 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
188 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
189 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
190 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
192 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
193 work again... Thanks!
194 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
197 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
198 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
199 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
202 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
205 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
206 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

332 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
334 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
335 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
337 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
338 to avoid the CVS directories
339 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
340 diff.gz and dsc files
341 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
342 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
345 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
346 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
347 real opensync libraries
349 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
350 building RPM's from CVS
351 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
352 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
353 on ./configure command line
355 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
356 so that the database name is stored as the first line
358 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
360 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
361 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
363 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
364 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
366 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
367 Paul Dugas for the tip
369 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
370 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
371 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
372 - updated AUTHORS file
374 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
375 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
376 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
377 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
378 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
379 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
380 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
381 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
383 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
384 - updated copyright statments for 2008
386 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
388 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
389 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
394 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
398 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
401 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
402 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
404 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
405 - added pause to maintainer release script
411 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
415 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
417 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
418 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
420 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
421 search by busname / devname
422 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
423 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
424 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
425 bus/device names, and updated the man page
426 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
427 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
428 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
429 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
430 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
431 spec file for opensuse
433 - added better error checking to breset
434 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
435 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
436 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
437 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
438 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
439 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
440 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
442 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
443 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
444 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
445 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
446 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
447 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
448 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
449 make applications look more capable, not less.
450 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
451 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
452 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
455 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
456 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
459 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
460 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
461 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
462 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
463 at the same time as usb_storage.
464 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
465 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
466 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
467 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
468 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
469 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
470 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
471 fail naturally on these devices.
472 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
474 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
475 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
477 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
478 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
480 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
482 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
483 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
484 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
485 that release package builds can be done faster
487 - opensync plugin fixes:
488 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
489 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
490 and keep track of the hierarchy when
491 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
492 - added support for searching for attributes only
493 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
494 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
496 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
497 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
498 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
499 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
500 ToBarry conversion results
501 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
503 - fixed typo in previous fix
505 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
506 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
507 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
512 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
516 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
517 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
519 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
520 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
521 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
522 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
524 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
525 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
527 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
528 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
529 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
530 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
531 without recompiling the kernel.
532 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
534 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
535 information in README files to html format, so that it
536 is commonly available on the web
537 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
538 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
540 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
541 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
544 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
545 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
546 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
547 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
548 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
549 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
550 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
551 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
552 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
553 explanatory document for various system requirements
554 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
556 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
557 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
558 for opensuse rpm builds
560 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
561 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
562 - fixed build target to i386
563 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
566 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
567 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
568 will be updated more frequently
570 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
571 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
572 configure scripts to support external build directories
573 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
574 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
575 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
576 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
577 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
580 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
581 parse the comma separated string into an array,
583 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
584 and will affect backward compatibility with
585 old serialization datafiles
586 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
587 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
589 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
590 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
592 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
593 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
594 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
595 - fixed in opensync plugin:
596 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
597 so added lower case conversion routine
598 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
599 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
600 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
601 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
603 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
604 - added status message to endpoint override
606 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
607 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
608 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
609 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
610 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
611 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
613 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
614 The description is now part of the probe results
615 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
616 a new attribute definition.
617 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
618 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
619 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
620 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
621 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
622 in order to better support SWIG and Python
624 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
625 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
626 settings automatically where possible
627 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
628 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
630 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
631 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
632 error.cc is now an empty shell
633 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
634 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
635 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
636 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
637 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
639 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
644 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
648 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
649 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
650 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
652 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
653 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
655 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
656 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
657 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
658 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
659 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
661 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
662 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
663 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
664 endian bug in the process)
665 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
666 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
667 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
668 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
669 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
670 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
671 - opensync-plugin/README update
672 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
673 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
674 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
676 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
678 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
681 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
682 for the broken-down name instead of N
683 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
684 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
685 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
686 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
687 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
688 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
689 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
690 registered two. Moving to single change commit
691 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
692 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
693 ease memory pressure in the library.
694 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
696 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
697 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
698 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
700 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
702 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
703 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
704 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
705 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
706 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
707 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
708 record into the device.... First/Last Name
709 fields are position sensitive, and the code
710 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
711 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
712 were not updated to handle the new field
713 table added for the postal address changes
716 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
717 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
718 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
719 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
720 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
721 UID strings, instead of just numbers
722 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
723 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
724 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
725 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
726 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
728 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
729 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
730 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
731 sync the wrong device and lose data.
732 Actions to take on new PIN:
733 - force slow_sync, or
735 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
736 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
737 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
738 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
740 - changed PIN error message number to hex
742 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
743 "Backup in progress..."
744 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
745 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
746 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
747 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
748 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
749 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
750 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
751 a new class called PostalAddress
752 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
753 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
754 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
755 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
757 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
759 - added vCard converter class
760 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
761 of empty attribute values and parameters,
762 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
763 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
764 an extra nth argument, in order to search
765 for multiple attributes with the same name...
766 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
767 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
768 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
771 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
772 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
773 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
774 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
778 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
779 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
780 new Barry ID would look like a new change
781 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
782 - added support for slow sync
783 - added clear() to idmap class
784 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
785 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
786 - added Notification time support
787 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
788 does not exist in a vformat data block
789 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
790 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
791 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
792 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
793 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
794 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
795 special cases in the future
797 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
799 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
800 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
801 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
803 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
804 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
805 library API that is not yet finished... will be
806 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
807 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
809 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
810 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
811 the goal is to be able to do:
812 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
814 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
815 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
816 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
817 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
819 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
820 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
822 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
824 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
825 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
827 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
828 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
829 in general use will not break on build
830 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
831 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
832 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
834 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
836 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
837 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
838 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
839 SetIds() is already there
840 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
841 and moved into record.h
842 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
844 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
845 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
846 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
847 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
849 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
851 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
852 - changes to PIN message patch:
853 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
854 - fixed tab alignment throughout
855 - removed typedef from Address struct
856 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
857 going to be a standalone type
858 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
859 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
860 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
861 backing on a field for other use
862 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
863 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
864 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
865 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
866 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
867 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
868 PIN Message so that we store both of these
871 - added item to gui/TODO
872 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
874 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
875 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
876 modified to split into the new separate files system
877 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
878 - reformatted the code to match coding style
880 - added copyright notice
881 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
882 - placed in Barry namespace
883 - added #ifdef header protectors
884 - added new files to Makefile.am
885 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
886 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
887 Brian Edginton's patch
888 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
889 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
892 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
893 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
897 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
898 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
899 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
900 linker errors with the new file layout
902 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
903 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
904 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
906 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
907 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
908 and added a command line option to turn
909 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
910 - command line option --help now also works
911 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
912 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
913 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
914 localizing the constants in one place
916 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
917 fields in Contact and Calendar records
918 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
919 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
920 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
921 Outlook from the comments.
922 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
923 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
924 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
925 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
926 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
931 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
932 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
935 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
936 based on the example plugin in the opensync
937 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
941 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
942 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
943 and then success afterward
944 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
945 - added item to gui's todo list
946 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
950 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
954 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
955 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
957 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
958 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
959 - updated maintainer/README
960 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
962 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
963 - bumped release number in barry.spec
966 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
967 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
968 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
969 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
971 - added development note to README
973 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
976 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
977 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
980 - removed some unneeded trace logs
981 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
983 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
984 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
986 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
987 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
989 - opensync module work:
990 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
991 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
992 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
993 a hard coded calendar record state table
994 - added lots of logging throughout
995 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
996 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
997 causing another sync on the next run
998 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
999 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1000 written to the Blackberry
1001 - more opensync module work:
1002 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1003 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1004 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1005 the environment classes
1006 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1007 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1009 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1010 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1011 a sample configuration
1012 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1013 on success (opensync module)
1014 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1015 - allowed comments in the config file
1016 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1017 routines are not available from the plugin side
1020 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1021 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1022 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1023 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1024 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1025 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1026 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1027 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1028 and the old search didn't always work
1029 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1030 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1031 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1032 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1033 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1034 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1035 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1036 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1037 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1039 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1040 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1041 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1043 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1044 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1046 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1048 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1049 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1051 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1053 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1055 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1056 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1057 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1058 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1059 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1060 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1061 this special case, without relying on string length.
1062 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1063 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1064 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1066 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1068 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1069 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1070 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1071 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1072 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1073 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1074 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1075 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1076 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1078 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1079 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1081 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1082 udev rules for the Pearl
1083 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1085 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1086 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1087 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1088 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1089 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1090 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1091 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1092 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1093 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1094 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1095 - added license file to each package
1096 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1099 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1100 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1102 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1103 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1104 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1106 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1107 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1108 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1109 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1110 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1111 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1112 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1113 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1114 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1116 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1117 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1123 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1126 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1128 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1129 device discovery code
1130 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1131 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1132 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1133 than are really available... in this case, let's
1134 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1135 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1136 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1137 - ReleaseChecklist update
1138 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1139 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1142 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1143 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1145 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1146 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1147 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1148 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1149 no databases selected in configuration
1150 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1151 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1152 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1153 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1154 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1156 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1157 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1158 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1159 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1160 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1161 -v now controls this as well
1162 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1163 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1164 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1165 the beginning of USB conversations
1166 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1167 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1168 its sequence number behaviour
1169 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1170 socket 0 level command
1171 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1172 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1173 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1174 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1175 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1176 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1177 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1178 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1179 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1180 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1181 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1182 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1183 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1185 - updated controller.cc:
1186 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1187 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1188 selecting modes, as it should use the
1189 socket 0 sequence number
1190 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1191 - updated some .cvsignore files
1193 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1194 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1199 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1200 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1201 new PasswordChallenge struct
1202 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1203 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1204 password hashing logic.
1205 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1207 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1208 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1209 - major LDIF overhaul:
1210 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1212 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1213 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1214 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1216 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1218 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1219 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1221 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1222 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1223 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1224 - large update to btool manpage
1225 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1227 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1228 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1229 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1230 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1231 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1232 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1233 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1234 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1235 instead of hardcoding it.
1237 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1238 - minor tweaks to README
1239 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1240 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1241 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1242 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1243 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1244 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1245 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1247 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1248 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1249 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1250 - added iomanip to debug.h
1251 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1252 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1255 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1256 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1257 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1258 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1261 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1262 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1264 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1266 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1267 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1268 one base class: Barry::Error
1269 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1270 - added BadPassword exception
1276 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1277 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1278 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1279 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1280 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1281 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1282 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1284 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1285 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1286 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1287 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1288 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1289 due to pending reads
1291 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1292 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1294 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1295 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1296 - iostream output size fixes
1297 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1298 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1299 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1300 this is still experimental
1301 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1302 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1304 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1305 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1306 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1307 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1309 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1310 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1311 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1312 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1313 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1314 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1315 and record objects that use it.
1316 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1317 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1319 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1320 This returns the default rectype that should work
1321 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1322 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1323 records, this info would be good to know.
1324 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1325 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1326 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1327 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1328 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1329 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1330 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1331 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1332 - backup GUI updates:
1333 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1334 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1335 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1336 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1337 i.e. Backup or Restore
1338 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1339 it appears to be read-only on the device
1340 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1341 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1342 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1343 supported now by the library
1345 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1346 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1348 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1349 using the library should not care about endianness
1350 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1351 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1353 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1355 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1356 Version call instead
1357 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1359 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1360 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1361 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1363 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1364 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1365 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1367 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1368 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1369 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1370 through btool, for development
1371 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1372 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1373 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1374 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1375 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1376 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1377 exceptions need to be handled with
1378 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1379 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1380 - added pending gui/TODO items
1382 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1383 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1384 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1385 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1386 when we try to write to it)
1387 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1389 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1391 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1392 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1393 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1394 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1395 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1397 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1398 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1399 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1400 backups only at this point
1402 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1403 - added version API, returning version number and string
1404 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1405 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1406 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1407 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1409 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1410 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1412 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1413 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1414 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1415 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1417 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1419 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1421 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1422 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1424 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1426 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1427 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1429 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1430 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1431 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1432 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1433 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1434 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1436 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1437 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1438 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1440 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1441 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1442 a future Debian install
1443 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1444 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1445 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1446 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1448 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1449 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1450 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1451 - fixed more endian issues
1452 - minor update to TODO
1454 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1455 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1457 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1458 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1459 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1460 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1462 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1463 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1464 on old build system if wanted
1465 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1466 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1467 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1468 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1469 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1470 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1472 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1473 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1474 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1475 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1476 properly when installed standalone
1477 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1478 installed barry library
1479 - added commentary on version number system
1480 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1481 system supercedes it
1482 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1483 - added library version number to autoconf build
1484 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1485 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1486 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1487 option... may need to revisit this later

1503 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1505 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1506 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1508 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1509 uploading to device to fail
1511 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1513 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1514 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1515 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1516 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1517 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1518 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1520 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1521 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1522 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1523 exceptions leak into the C library code
1525 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1526 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1528 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1529 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1531 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1534 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1535 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1536 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1537 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1538 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1539 header of its own, in the case of email
1540 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1541 Record does not know the details of the packet
1542 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1543 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1544 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1545 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1546 the record format details, but does know the
1547 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1549 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1550 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1551 record formats being the same even with different
1552 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1553 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1554 See the header size of the email record after
1556 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1557 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1558 The Controller object does not know the format
1559 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1560 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1561 to talk to the device.
1562 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1564 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1566 - added sample hotplug scripts
1567 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1568 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1569 handle non-little-endian machines
1570 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1571 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1572 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1573 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1574 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1575 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1576 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1577 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1579 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1581 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1582 flags of individual blackberry device records
1583 - added endian macros throughout the code
1585 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1586 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1587 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1589 - removed slow sync functions for now
1591 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1592 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1593 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1594 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1595 the base classes for all exceptions
1596 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1597 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1599 - added to Contact record class:
1601 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1602 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1603 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1604 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1605 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1606 and upload it to a blackberry
1607 - updated src/.cvsignore
1609 - added parsing of service book fields:
1611 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1613 - old and new description
1615 - bes domain / domain
1616 - date change in legal.txt
1617 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1618 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1619 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1620 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1621 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1623 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1624 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1625 - added AUTHORS file
1626 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1627 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1628 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1630 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1631 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1633 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1635 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1636 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1637 to the Controller class
1638 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1639 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1640 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1641 support of the template Controller functions
1642 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1643 returning errors properly
1644 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1645 of Controller template member usage
1647 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1649 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1650 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1652 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1653 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1654 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1655 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1656 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1657 constants... constants are now removed
1658 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1659 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1660 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

1667 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1668 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1669 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1670 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1671 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1672 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1673 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1675 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1676 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1677 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1678 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1679 throw exception in controller.cc
1680 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1681 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1682 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1683 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1684 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1685 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1686 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1687 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser
1688 class, and "all day event" flag support
1690 - added autoconf to Todo list
1691 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1692 be reused for upload and download
1693 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1694 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1695 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1696 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts

1699 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
1701 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
1702 - added boost::serialization to build
1703 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1704 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1705 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1706 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1707 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1709 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1710 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1711 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1712 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1714 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
1715 - added builder.h, to support uploading
1716 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1717 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1718 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1719 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1722 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1723 optimize away protocol struct casts

1729 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1730 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1731 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1732 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1734 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1735 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1737 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage
1738 - updated README for release
1739 - renamed SBError exception class to BError
1740 - updated Doxyfile to version 1.4.5
1741 - added more doxygen comments
1743 - added conversion routines (and tests) between time_t and min1900_t
1744 - added -v option to btool to dynamically control protocol dumping
1745 - removed duplicated database database table display in controller.cc
1746 - minor spelling corrections
1747 - added copyright to usbwrap.{h,cc} as per earlier meeting
1748 - added support for Old protocol Calendar entries
1750 - added legal.txt, to save typing when adding new source files
1751 - ignore test-base64 file (cvsignore)
1752 - added contact-to-ldif generation, and updated supporting code
1753 - added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
1754 - added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
1755 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1757 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1758 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1759 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1760 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1761 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1762 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1763 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1764 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1765 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1766 seem to need more time...)
1767 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1768 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1769 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1770 with Python, if used(?)
1771 - added Message class for Email records
1772 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1773 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1774 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1775 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1776 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1777 - cleaned up comments

1779 - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
1780 - added Makefile.conf
1781 - added copyright notices to source files
1782 - added COPYING file with GPL
1783 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1784 store object pointers
1785 - added doxygen docs
1786 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1787 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1788 better suited to its general API purpose
1789 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1790 a public API function
1791 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1792 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1794 - added mode checks to Controller
1795 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1796 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1797 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1800 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1801 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1802 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1803 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1804 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1805 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1806 from the Command Table
1807 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1808 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1809 the Cassis spec more closely
1810 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1811 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1812 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1815 - added Doxyfile to the project
1817 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1818 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1819 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1821 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1822 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1823 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1824 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1825 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1826 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1827 less buffer than data copied
1828 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1829 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1830 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1831 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1833 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1834 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1836 - implemented socket::Close()
1837 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1838 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1839 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1841 - added .cvsignore files to project
1842 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1843 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1844 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1845 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1846 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1848 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1849 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1850 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1852 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1853 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1854 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1855 - regular debug output
1856 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1857 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1858 - raw data dump output
1859 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1860 numbers into english (limited success)
1861 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1862 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1863 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1864 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1865 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1866 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1867 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1868 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1869 for socket 0 operations.
1870 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1874 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1875 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1876 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1877 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1879 - syncberry tree started
