1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 - added sample ppp options files for Verizon Blackberries
7 Sample files from Michael L. Stokes
9 - renamed sample ppp peer files, in preparation for installing
10 them automatically in binary packages
11 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
12 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
14 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
15 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
16 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
17 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
19 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
20 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
21 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
22 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
23 order (no code change, only move)
24 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
25 possible to determine whether a program is using
26 threaded or non-threaded sockets
27 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
28 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
29 and updated the man page
30 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
31 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
34 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
35 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
36 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
37 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
38 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
39 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
40 IpModem endpoints are available
41 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
42 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
43 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
44 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
45 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
47 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
48 to file instead of stderr
49 - added man page for pppob
51 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
52 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
54 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
57 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
58 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
59 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
60 I'm looking at you...)
61 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
62 if no command line arguments are specified
63 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
64 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
66 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
67 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
68 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
69 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
70 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
71 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
72 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
73 like a null terminated string... also added more
74 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
75 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
76 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
77 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
78 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
79 on database records, for testing
80 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
81 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
82 which completes builder support
83 Checksums from the following commands now match:
84 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
85 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
86 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
87 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
88 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
90 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
92 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
95 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
96 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
97 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
100 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
103 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
104 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

119 number in ProbeResult
120 - also added ProbeResult constructor
121 - merged changes from visibility branch:
122 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
123 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
124 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
125 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such

230 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
232 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
233 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
235 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
236 to avoid the CVS directories
237 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
238 diff.gz and dsc files
239 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
240 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
243 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
244 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
245 real opensync libraries
247 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
248 building RPM's from CVS
249 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
250 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
251 on ./configure command line
253 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
254 so that the database name is stored as the first line
256 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
258 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
259 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
261 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
262 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
264 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
265 Paul Dugas for the tip
267 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
268 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
269 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
270 - updated AUTHORS file
272 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
273 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
274 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
275 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
276 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
277 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
278 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
279 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
281 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
282 - updated copyright statments for 2008
284 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
286 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
287 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
292 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
296 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
299 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
300 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
302 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
303 - added pause to maintainer release script
309 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
313 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
315 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
316 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
318 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
319 search by busname / devname
320 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
321 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
322 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
323 bus/device names, and updated the man page
324 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
325 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
326 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
327 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
328 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
329 spec file for opensuse
331 - added better error checking to breset
332 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
333 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
334 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
335 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
336 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
337 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
338 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
340 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
341 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
342 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
343 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
344 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
345 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
346 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
347 make applications look more capable, not less.
348 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
349 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
350 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
353 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
354 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
357 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
358 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
359 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
360 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
361 at the same time as usb_storage.
362 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
363 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
364 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
365 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
366 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
367 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
368 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
369 fail naturally on these devices.
370 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
372 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
373 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
375 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
376 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
378 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
380 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
381 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
382 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
383 that release package builds can be done faster
385 - opensync plugin fixes:
386 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
387 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
388 and keep track of the hierarchy when
389 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
390 - added support for searching for attributes only
391 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
392 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
394 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
395 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
396 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
397 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
398 ToBarry conversion results
399 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
401 - fixed typo in previous fix
403 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
404 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
405 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
410 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
414 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
415 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
417 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
418 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
419 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
420 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
422 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
423 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
425 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
426 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
427 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
428 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
429 without recompiling the kernel.
430 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
432 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
433 information in README files to html format, so that it
434 is commonly available on the web
435 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
436 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
438 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
439 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
442 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
443 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
444 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
445 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
446 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
447 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
448 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
449 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
450 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
451 explanatory document for various system requirements
452 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
454 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
455 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
456 for opensuse rpm builds
458 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
459 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
460 - fixed build target to i386
461 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
464 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
465 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
466 will be updated more frequently
468 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
469 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
470 configure scripts to support external build directories
471 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
472 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
473 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
474 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
475 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
478 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
479 parse the comma separated string into an array,
481 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
482 and will affect backward compatibility with
483 old serialization datafiles
484 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
485 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
487 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
488 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
490 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
491 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
492 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
493 - fixed in opensync plugin:
494 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
495 so added lower case conversion routine
496 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
497 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
498 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
499 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
501 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
502 - added status message to endpoint override
504 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
505 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
506 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
507 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
508 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
509 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
511 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
512 The description is now part of the probe results
513 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
514 a new attribute definition.
515 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
516 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
517 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
518 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
519 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
520 in order to better support SWIG and Python
522 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
523 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
524 settings automatically where possible
525 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
526 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
528 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
529 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
530 error.cc is now an empty shell
531 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
532 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
533 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
534 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
535 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
537 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
542 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
546 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
547 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
548 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
550 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
551 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
553 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
554 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
555 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
556 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
557 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
559 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
560 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
561 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
562 endian bug in the process)
563 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
564 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
565 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
566 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
567 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
568 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
569 - opensync-plugin/README update
570 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
571 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
572 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
574 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
576 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
579 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
580 for the broken-down name instead of N
581 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
582 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
583 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
584 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
585 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
586 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
587 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
588 registered two. Moving to single change commit
589 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
590 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
591 ease memory pressure in the library.
592 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
594 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
595 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
596 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
598 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
600 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
601 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
602 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
603 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
604 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
605 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
606 record into the device.... First/Last Name
607 fields are position sensitive, and the code
608 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
609 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
610 were not updated to handle the new field
611 table added for the postal address changes
614 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
615 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
616 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
617 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
618 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
619 UID strings, instead of just numbers
620 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
621 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
622 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
623 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
624 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
626 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
627 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
628 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
629 sync the wrong device and lose data.
630 Actions to take on new PIN:
631 - force slow_sync, or
633 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
634 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
635 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
636 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
638 - changed PIN error message number to hex
640 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
641 "Backup in progress..."
642 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
643 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
644 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
645 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
646 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
647 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
648 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
649 a new class called PostalAddress
650 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
651 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
652 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
653 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
655 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
657 - added vCard converter class
658 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
659 of empty attribute values and parameters,
660 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
661 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
662 an extra nth argument, in order to search
663 for multiple attributes with the same name...
664 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
665 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
666 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
669 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
670 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
671 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
672 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
676 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
677 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
678 new Barry ID would look like a new change
679 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
680 - added support for slow sync
681 - added clear() to idmap class
682 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
683 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
684 - added Notification time support
685 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
686 does not exist in a vformat data block
687 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
688 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
689 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
690 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
691 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
692 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
693 special cases in the future
695 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
697 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
698 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
699 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
701 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
702 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
703 library API that is not yet finished... will be
704 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
705 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
707 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
708 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
709 the goal is to be able to do:
710 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
712 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
713 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
714 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
715 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
717 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
718 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
720 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
722 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
723 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
725 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
726 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
727 in general use will not break on build
728 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
729 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
730 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
732 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
734 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
735 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
736 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
737 SetIds() is already there
738 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
739 and moved into record.h
740 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
742 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
743 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
744 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
745 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
747 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
749 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
750 - changes to PIN message patch:
751 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
752 - fixed tab alignment throughout
753 - removed typedef from Address struct
754 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
755 going to be a standalone type
756 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
757 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
758 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
759 backing on a field for other use
760 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
761 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
762 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
763 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
764 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
765 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
766 PIN Message so that we store both of these
769 - added item to gui/TODO
770 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
772 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
773 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
774 modified to split into the new separate files system
775 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
776 - reformatted the code to match coding style
778 - added copyright notice
779 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
780 - placed in Barry namespace
781 - added #ifdef header protectors
782 - added new files to Makefile.am
783 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
784 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
785 Brian Edginton's patch
786 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
787 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
790 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
791 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
795 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
796 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
797 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
798 linker errors with the new file layout
800 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
801 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
802 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
804 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
805 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
806 and added a command line option to turn
807 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
808 - command line option --help now also works
809 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
810 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
811 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
812 localizing the constants in one place
814 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
815 fields in Contact and Calendar records
816 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
817 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
818 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
819 Outlook from the comments.
820 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
821 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
822 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
823 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
824 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
829 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
830 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
833 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
834 based on the example plugin in the opensync
835 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
839 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
840 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
841 and then success afterward
842 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
843 - added item to gui's todo list
844 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
848 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
852 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
853 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
855 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
856 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
857 - updated maintainer/README
858 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
860 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
861 - bumped release number in barry.spec
864 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
865 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
866 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
867 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
869 - added development note to README
871 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
874 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
875 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
878 - removed some unneeded trace logs
879 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
881 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
882 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
884 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
885 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
887 - opensync module work:
888 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
889 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
890 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
891 a hard coded calendar record state table
892 - added lots of logging throughout
893 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
894 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
895 causing another sync on the next run
896 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
897 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
898 written to the Blackberry
899 - more opensync module work:
900 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
901 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
902 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
903 the environment classes
904 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
905 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
907 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
908 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
909 a sample configuration
910 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
911 on success (opensync module)
912 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
913 - allowed comments in the config file
914 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
915 routines are not available from the plugin side
918 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
919 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
920 only use idProduct, and updated man page
921 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
922 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
923 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
924 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
925 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
926 and the old search didn't always work
927 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
928 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
929 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
930 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
931 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
932 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
933 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
934 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
935 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
937 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
938 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
939 the vevent20 data (experimental)
941 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
942 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
944 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
946 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
947 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
949 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
951 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
953 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
954 FullName, even if there was no last name)
955 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
956 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
957 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
958 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
959 this special case, without relying on string length.
960 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
961 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
962 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
964 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
966 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
967 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
968 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
969 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
970 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
971 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
972 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
973 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
974 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
976 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
977 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
979 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
980 udev rules for the Pearl
981 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
983 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
984 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
985 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
986 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
987 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
988 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
989 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
990 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
991 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
992 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
993 - added license file to each package
994 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
997 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
998 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1000 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1001 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1002 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1004 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1005 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1006 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1007 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1008 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1009 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1010 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1011 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1012 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1014 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1015 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1021 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1024 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1026 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1027 device discovery code
1028 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1029 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1030 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1031 than are really available... in this case, let's
1032 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1033 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1034 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1035 - ReleaseChecklist update
1036 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1037 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1040 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1041 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1043 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1044 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1045 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1046 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1047 no databases selected in configuration
1048 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1049 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1050 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1051 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1052 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1054 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1055 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1056 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1057 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1058 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1059 -v now controls this as well
1060 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1061 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1062 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1063 the beginning of USB conversations
1064 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1065 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1066 its sequence number behaviour
1067 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1068 socket 0 level command
1069 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1070 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1071 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1072 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1073 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1074 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1075 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1076 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1077 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1078 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1079 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1080 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1081 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1083 - updated controller.cc:
1084 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1085 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1086 selecting modes, as it should use the
1087 socket 0 sequence number
1088 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1089 - updated some .cvsignore files
1091 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1092 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1097 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1098 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1099 new PasswordChallenge struct
1100 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1101 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1102 password hashing logic.
1103 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1105 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1106 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1107 - major LDIF overhaul:
1108 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1110 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1111 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1112 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1114 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1116 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1117 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1119 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1120 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1121 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1122 - large update to btool manpage
1123 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1125 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1126 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1127 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1128 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1129 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1130 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1131 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1132 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1133 instead of hardcoding it.
1135 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1136 - minor tweaks to README
1137 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1138 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1139 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1140 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1141 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1142 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1143 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1145 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1146 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1147 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1148 - added iomanip to debug.h
1149 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1150 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1153 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1154 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1155 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1156 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1159 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1160 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1162 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1164 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1165 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1166 one base class: Barry::Error
1167 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1168 - added BadPassword exception
1174 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1175 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1176 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1177 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1178 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1179 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1180 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1182 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1183 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1184 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1185 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1186 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1187 due to pending reads
1189 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1190 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1192 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1193 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1194 - iostream output size fixes
1195 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1196 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1197 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1198 this is still experimental
1199 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1200 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1202 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1203 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1204 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1205 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1207 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1208 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1209 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1210 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1211 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1212 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1213 and record objects that use it.
1214 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1215 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1217 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1218 This returns the default rectype that should work
1219 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1220 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1221 records, this info would be good to know.
1222 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1223 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1224 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1225 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1226 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1227 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1228 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1229 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1230 - backup GUI updates:
1231 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1232 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1233 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1234 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1235 i.e. Backup or Restore
1236 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1237 it appears to be read-only on the device
1238 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1239 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1240 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1241 supported now by the library
1243 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1244 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1246 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1247 using the library should not care about endianness
1248 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1249 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1251 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1253 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1254 Version call instead
1255 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1257 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1258 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1259 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1261 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1262 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1263 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1265 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1266 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1267 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1268 through btool, for development
1269 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1270 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1271 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1272 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1273 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1274 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1275 exceptions need to be handled with
1276 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1277 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1278 - added pending gui/TODO items
1280 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1281 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1282 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1283 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1284 when we try to write to it)
1285 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1287 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1289 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1290 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1291 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1292 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1293 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1295 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1296 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1297 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1298 backups only at this point
1300 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1301 - added version API, returning version number and string
1302 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1303 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1304 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1305 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1307 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1308 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1310 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1311 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1312 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1313 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1315 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1317 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1319 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1320 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1322 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1324 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1325 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1327 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1328 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1329 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1330 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1331 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1332 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1334 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1335 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1336 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1338 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1339 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1340 a future Debian install
1341 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1342 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1343 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1344 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1346 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1347 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1348 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1364 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1365 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1366 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1367 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1368 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1370 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1371 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1372 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1373 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1374 properly when installed standalone
1375 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1376 installed barry library
1377 - added commentary on version number system
1378 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1379 system supercedes it

1401 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1403 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1404 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1406 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1407 uploading to device to fail
1409 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1411 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1412 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1413 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1414 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1415 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1416 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1418 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1419 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1420 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1421 exceptions leak into the C library code
1423 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1424 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1426 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1427 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1429 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1432 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1433 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1434 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1435 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1436 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1437 header of its own, in the case of email
1438 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1439 Record does not know the details of the packet
1440 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1441 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1442 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1443 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1444 the record format details, but does know the
1445 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1447 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1448 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1449 record formats being the same even with different
1450 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1451 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1452 See the header size of the email record after
1454 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1455 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1456 The Controller object does not know the format
1457 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1458 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1459 to talk to the device.
1460 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1462 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1464 - added sample hotplug scripts
1465 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1466 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1467 handle non-little-endian machines
1468 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1469 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1470 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1471 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1472 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1473 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1474 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1475 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1477 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1479 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1480 flags of individual blackberry device records

1487 - removed slow sync functions for now
1489 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1490 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1491 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1492 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1493 the base classes for all exceptions
1494 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1495 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1497 - added to Contact record class:
1499 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1500 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1501 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1509 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1511 - old and new description
1513 - bes domain / domain
1514 - date change in legal.txt
1515 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1516 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1517 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1518 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1519 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1521 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1522 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1523 - added AUTHORS file
1524 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1525 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1526 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1551 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1552 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1553 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1573 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1574 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1575 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1576 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1577 throw exception in controller.cc
1578 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1579 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1580 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1581 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1582 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1583 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1584 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1600 - added boost::serialization to build
1601 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1602 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1603 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1604 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1605 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1607 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1616 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1617 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1620 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1621 optimize away protocol struct casts

1627 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1628 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1629 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1630 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1632 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1655 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1656 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1657 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1658 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1659 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1660 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1661 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1662 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1663 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1664 seem to need more time...)
1665 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1666 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1667 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1668 with Python, if used(?)
1669 - added Message class for Email records
1670 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1671 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1688 a public API function
1689 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1690 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1692 - added mode checks to Controller
1693 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1694 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1695 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1698 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1699 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1700 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1701 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1702 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1703 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1704 from the Command Table
1705 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1706 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1707 the Cassis spec more closely
1708 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1709 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1710 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1713 - added Doxyfile to the project
1715 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1716 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1717 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1719 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1720 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1721 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1722 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1723 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1724 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1725 less buffer than data copied
1726 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1727 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1728 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1729 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1731 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1732 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1734 - implemented socket::Close()
1735 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1736 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1737 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1739 - added .cvsignore files to project
1740 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1741 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1742 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1743 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1744 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1746 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1747 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1748 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1750 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1751 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1752 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1753 - regular debug output
1754 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1755 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1756 - raw data dump output
1757 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1758 numbers into english (limited success)
1759 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1760 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1761 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1762 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1763 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1764 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1765 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1766 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1767 for socket 0 operations.
1768 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1772 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1773 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1774 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1775 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1777 - syncberry tree started
