1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
5 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
6 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
7 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
9 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
10 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
11 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
12 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
13 order (no code change, only move)
15 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
16 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
17 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
18 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
19 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
20 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
21 IpModem endpoints are available
22 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
23 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
24 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
25 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
26 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
28 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
29 to file instead of stderr
30 - added man page for pppob
32 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
33 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
35 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
38 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
39 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
40 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
41 I'm looking at you...)
42 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
43 if no command line arguments are specified
44 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
45 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
47 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
48 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
49 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
50 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
51 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
52 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
53 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
54 like a null terminated string... also added more
55 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
56 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
57 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
58 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
59 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
60 on database records, for testing
61 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
62 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
63 which completes builder support
64 Checksums from the following commands now match:
65 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
66 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
67 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
68 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
69 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
71 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
73 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
76 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
77 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
78 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
81 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
84 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
85 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.
88 - added thread-safe logging mechanism
89 - added preliminary IP modem support... requires a recent
90 device... serial mode is not yet supported
93 - changed Barry::Init() so programmer can choose where
94 debug and exception information goes, instead of
99 - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
100 number in ProbeResult
101 - also added ProbeResult constructor
102 - merged changes from visibility branch:
103 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
104 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
105 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
106 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such

211 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
213 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
214 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
216 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
217 to avoid the CVS directories
218 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
219 diff.gz and dsc files
220 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
221 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
224 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
225 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
226 real opensync libraries
228 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
229 building RPM's from CVS
230 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
231 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
232 on ./configure command line
234 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
235 so that the database name is stored as the first line
237 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
239 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
240 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
242 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
243 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
245 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
246 Paul Dugas for the tip
248 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
249 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
250 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
251 - updated AUTHORS file
253 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
254 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
255 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
256 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
257 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
258 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
259 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
260 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
262 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
263 - updated copyright statments for 2008
265 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
267 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
268 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
273 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
277 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
280 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
281 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
283 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
284 - added pause to maintainer release script
290 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
294 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
296 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
297 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
299 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
300 search by busname / devname
301 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
302 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
303 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
304 bus/device names, and updated the man page
305 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
306 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
307 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
308 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
309 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
310 spec file for opensuse
312 - added better error checking to breset
313 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
314 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
315 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
316 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
317 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
318 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
319 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
321 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
322 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
323 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
324 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
325 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
326 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
327 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
328 make applications look more capable, not less.
329 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
330 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
331 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
334 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
335 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
338 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
339 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
340 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
341 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
342 at the same time as usb_storage.
343 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
344 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
345 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
346 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
347 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
348 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
349 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
350 fail naturally on these devices.
351 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
353 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
354 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
356 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
357 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
359 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
361 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
362 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
363 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
364 that release package builds can be done faster
366 - opensync plugin fixes:
367 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
368 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
369 and keep track of the hierarchy when
370 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
371 - added support for searching for attributes only
372 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
373 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
375 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
376 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
377 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
378 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
379 ToBarry conversion results
380 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
382 - fixed typo in previous fix
384 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
385 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
386 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
391 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
395 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
396 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
398 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
399 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
400 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
401 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
403 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
404 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
406 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
407 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
408 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
409 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
410 without recompiling the kernel.
411 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
413 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
414 information in README files to html format, so that it
415 is commonly available on the web
416 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
417 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
419 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
420 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
423 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
424 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
425 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
426 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
427 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
428 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
429 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
430 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
431 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
432 explanatory document for various system requirements
433 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
435 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
436 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
437 for opensuse rpm builds
439 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
440 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
441 - fixed build target to i386
442 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
445 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
446 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
447 will be updated more frequently
449 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
450 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
451 configure scripts to support external build directories
452 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
453 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
454 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
455 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
456 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
459 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
460 parse the comma separated string into an array,
462 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
463 and will affect backward compatibility with
464 old serialization datafiles
465 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
466 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
468 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
469 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
471 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
472 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
473 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
474 - fixed in opensync plugin:
475 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
476 so added lower case conversion routine
477 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
478 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
479 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
480 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
482 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
483 - added status message to endpoint override
485 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
486 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
487 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
488 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
489 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
490 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
492 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
493 The description is now part of the probe results
494 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
495 a new attribute definition.
496 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
497 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
498 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
499 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
500 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
501 in order to better support SWIG and Python
503 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
504 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
505 settings automatically where possible
506 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
507 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
509 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
510 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
511 error.cc is now an empty shell
512 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
513 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
514 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
515 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
516 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
518 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
523 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
527 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
528 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
529 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
531 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
532 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
534 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
535 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
536 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
537 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
538 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
540 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
541 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
542 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
543 endian bug in the process)
544 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
545 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
546 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
547 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
548 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
549 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
550 - opensync-plugin/README update
551 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
552 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
553 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
555 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
557 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
560 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
561 for the broken-down name instead of N
562 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
563 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
564 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
565 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
566 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
567 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
568 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
569 registered two. Moving to single change commit
570 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
571 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
572 ease memory pressure in the library.
573 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
575 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
576 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
577 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
579 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
581 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
582 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
583 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
584 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
585 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
586 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
587 record into the device.... First/Last Name
588 fields are position sensitive, and the code
589 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
590 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
591 were not updated to handle the new field
592 table added for the postal address changes
595 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
596 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
597 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
598 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
599 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
600 UID strings, instead of just numbers
601 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
602 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
603 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
604 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
605 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
607 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
608 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
609 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
610 sync the wrong device and lose data.
611 Actions to take on new PIN:
612 - force slow_sync, or
614 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
615 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
616 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
617 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
619 - changed PIN error message number to hex
621 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
622 "Backup in progress..."
623 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
624 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
625 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
626 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
627 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
628 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
629 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
630 a new class called PostalAddress
631 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
632 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
633 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
634 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
636 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
638 - added vCard converter class
639 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
640 of empty attribute values and parameters,
641 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
642 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
643 an extra nth argument, in order to search
644 for multiple attributes with the same name...
645 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
646 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
647 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
650 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
651 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
652 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
653 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
657 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
658 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
659 new Barry ID would look like a new change
660 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
661 - added support for slow sync
662 - added clear() to idmap class
663 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
664 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
665 - added Notification time support
666 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
667 does not exist in a vformat data block
668 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
669 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
670 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
671 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
672 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
673 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
674 special cases in the future
676 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
678 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
679 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
680 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
682 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
683 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
684 library API that is not yet finished... will be
685 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
686 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
688 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
689 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
690 the goal is to be able to do:
691 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
693 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
694 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
695 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
696 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
698 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
699 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
701 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
703 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
704 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
706 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
707 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
708 in general use will not break on build
709 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
710 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
711 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
713 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
715 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
716 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
717 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
718 SetIds() is already there
719 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
720 and moved into record.h
721 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
723 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
724 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
725 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
726 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
728 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
730 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
731 - changes to PIN message patch:
732 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
733 - fixed tab alignment throughout
734 - removed typedef from Address struct
735 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
736 going to be a standalone type
737 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
738 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
739 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
740 backing on a field for other use
741 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
742 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
743 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
744 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
745 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
746 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
747 PIN Message so that we store both of these
750 - added item to gui/TODO
751 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
753 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
754 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
755 modified to split into the new separate files system
756 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
757 - reformatted the code to match coding style
759 - added copyright notice
760 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
761 - placed in Barry namespace
762 - added #ifdef header protectors
763 - added new files to Makefile.am
764 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
765 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
766 Brian Edginton's patch
767 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
768 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
771 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
772 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
776 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
777 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
778 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
779 linker errors with the new file layout
781 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
782 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
783 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
785 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
786 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
787 and added a command line option to turn
788 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
789 - command line option --help now also works
790 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
791 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
792 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
793 localizing the constants in one place
795 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
796 fields in Contact and Calendar records
797 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
798 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
799 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
800 Outlook from the comments.
801 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
802 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
803 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
804 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
805 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
810 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
811 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
814 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
815 based on the example plugin in the opensync
816 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
820 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
821 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
822 and then success afterward
823 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
824 - added item to gui's todo list
825 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
829 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
833 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
834 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
836 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
837 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
838 - updated maintainer/README
839 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
841 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
842 - bumped release number in barry.spec
845 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
846 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
847 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
848 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
850 - added development note to README
852 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
855 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
856 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
859 - removed some unneeded trace logs
860 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
862 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
863 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
865 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
866 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
868 - opensync module work:
869 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
870 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
871 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
872 a hard coded calendar record state table
873 - added lots of logging throughout
874 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
875 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
876 causing another sync on the next run
877 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
878 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
879 written to the Blackberry
880 - more opensync module work:
881 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
882 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
883 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
884 the environment classes
885 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
886 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
888 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
889 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
890 a sample configuration
891 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
892 on success (opensync module)
893 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
894 - allowed comments in the config file
895 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
896 routines are not available from the plugin side
899 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
900 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
901 only use idProduct, and updated man page
902 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
903 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
904 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
905 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
906 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
907 and the old search didn't always work
908 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
909 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
910 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
911 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
912 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
913 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
914 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
915 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
916 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
918 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
919 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
920 the vevent20 data (experimental)
922 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
923 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
925 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
927 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
928 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
930 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
932 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
934 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
935 FullName, even if there was no last name)
936 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
937 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
938 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
939 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
940 this special case, without relying on string length.
941 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
942 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
943 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
945 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
947 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
948 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
949 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
950 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
951 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
952 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
953 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
954 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
955 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
957 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
958 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
960 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
961 udev rules for the Pearl
962 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
964 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
965 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
966 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
967 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
968 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
969 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
970 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
971 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
972 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
973 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
974 - added license file to each package
975 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
978 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
979 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
981 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
982 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
983 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
985 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
986 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
987 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
988 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
989 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
990 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
991 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
992 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
993 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
995 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
996 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1002 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1005 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1007 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1008 device discovery code
1009 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1010 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1011 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1012 than are really available... in this case, let's
1013 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1014 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1015 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1016 - ReleaseChecklist update
1017 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1018 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1021 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1024 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1025 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1026 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1027 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1028 no databases selected in configuration
1029 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1030 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1031 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1032 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1033 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1035 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1036 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1037 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1038 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1039 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1040 -v now controls this as well
1041 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1042 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1043 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1044 the beginning of USB conversations
1045 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1046 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1047 its sequence number behaviour
1048 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1049 socket 0 level command
1050 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1051 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1052 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1053 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1054 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1055 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1056 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1057 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1058 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1059 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1060 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1061 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1062 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1064 - updated controller.cc:
1065 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1066 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1067 selecting modes, as it should use the
1068 socket 0 sequence number
1069 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1070 - updated some .cvsignore files
1072 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1073 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1078 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1079 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1080 new PasswordChallenge struct
1081 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1082 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1083 password hashing logic.
1084 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1086 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1087 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1088 - major LDIF overhaul:
1089 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1091 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1092 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1093 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1095 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1097 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1098 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1100 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1101 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1102 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1103 - large update to btool manpage
1104 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1106 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1107 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1108 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1109 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1110 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1111 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1112 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1113 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1114 instead of hardcoding it.
1116 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1117 - minor tweaks to README
1118 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1119 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1120 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1121 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1122 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1123 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1124 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1126 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1127 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1128 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1129 - added iomanip to debug.h
1130 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1131 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1134 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1135 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1136 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1137 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1140 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1141 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1143 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1145 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1146 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1147 one base class: Barry::Error
1148 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1149 - added BadPassword exception
1155 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1156 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1157 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1158 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1159 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1160 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1161 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1163 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1164 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1165 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1166 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1167 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1168 due to pending reads
1170 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1171 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1173 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1174 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1175 - iostream output size fixes
1176 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1177 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1178 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1179 this is still experimental
1180 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1181 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1183 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1184 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1185 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1186 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1188 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1189 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1190 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1191 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1192 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1193 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1194 and record objects that use it.
1195 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1196 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1198 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1199 This returns the default rectype that should work
1200 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1201 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1202 records, this info would be good to know.
1203 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1204 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1205 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1206 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1207 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1208 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1209 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1210 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1211 - backup GUI updates:
1212 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1213 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1214 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1215 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1216 i.e. Backup or Restore
1217 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1218 it appears to be read-only on the device
1219 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1220 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1221 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1222 supported now by the library
1224 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1225 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1227 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1228 using the library should not care about endianness
1229 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1230 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1232 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1234 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1235 Version call instead
1236 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1238 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1239 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1240 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1242 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1243 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1244 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1246 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1247 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1248 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1249 through btool, for development
1250 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1251 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1252 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1253 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1254 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1255 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1256 exceptions need to be handled with
1257 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1258 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1259 - added pending gui/TODO items
1261 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1262 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1263 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1264 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1265 when we try to write to it)
1266 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1268 - moved Data class into Barry namespace

1279 backups only at this point
1281 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1282 - added version API, returning version number and string
1283 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1284 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1285 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1286 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1288 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1289 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1291 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1292 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1293 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1294 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1296 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1298 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1300 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1301 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1303 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1305 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1306 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1308 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1309 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1310 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1311 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1312 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1313 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1315 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1316 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1317 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1319 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1320 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1321 a future Debian install
1322 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1323 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1324 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1325 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1327 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1328 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1329 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1345 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1346 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1347 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1348 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1349 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1351 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1352 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1353 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1354 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1355 properly when installed standalone
1356 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1357 installed barry library
1358 - added commentary on version number system
1359 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1360 system supercedes it

1388 uploading to device to fail
1390 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1392 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1393 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1394 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1395 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1396 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1397 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1399 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1400 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1401 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1402 exceptions leak into the C library code
1404 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1405 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1407 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1408 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1410 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1413 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1414 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1415 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1416 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1417 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1418 header of its own, in the case of email
1419 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1420 Record does not know the details of the packet
1421 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1422 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1423 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1424 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1425 the record format details, but does know the
1426 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1428 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1429 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1430 record formats being the same even with different
1431 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1432 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1433 See the header size of the email record after
1435 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1436 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1437 The Controller object does not know the format
1438 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1439 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1440 to talk to the device.
1441 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1443 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1445 - added sample hotplug scripts
1446 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1447 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1448 handle non-little-endian machines
1449 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1450 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1451 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1452 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1453 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1454 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1455 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1456 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1458 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1460 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1461 flags of individual blackberry device records

1468 - removed slow sync functions for now
1470 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1471 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1472 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1473 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1474 the base classes for all exceptions
1475 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1476 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1478 - added to Contact record class:
1480 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1481 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1482 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1490 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1492 - old and new description
1494 - bes domain / domain
1495 - date change in legal.txt
1496 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1497 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1498 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1499 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1500 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1502 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1503 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1504 - added AUTHORS file
1505 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1506 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1507 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1532 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1533 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1534 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1554 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1555 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1556 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1557 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1558 throw exception in controller.cc
1559 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1560 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1561 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1562 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1563 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1564 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1565 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1581 - added boost::serialization to build
1582 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1583 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1584 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1585 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1586 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1588 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1597 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1598 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1601 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1602 optimize away protocol struct casts

1608 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1609 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1610 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1611 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1613 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1636 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1637 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1638 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1639 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1640 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1641 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1642 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1643 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1644 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1645 seem to need more time...)
1646 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1647 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1648 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1649 with Python, if used(?)
1650 - added Message class for Email records
1651 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1652 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1669 a public API function
1670 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1671 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1673 - added mode checks to Controller

1680 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1681 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1682 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1683 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1684 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1685 from the Command Table
1686 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1687 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1688 the Cassis spec more closely
1689 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1690 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1691 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1694 - added Doxyfile to the project
1696 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1697 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1698 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1700 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1701 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class

1705 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1706 less buffer than data copied
1707 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1708 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1709 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1710 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1712 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1713 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1715 - implemented socket::Close()
1716 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1718 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1720 - added .cvsignore files to project
1721 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1724 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1725 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1727 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1728 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1729 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1731 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1732 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1733 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1734 - regular debug output
1735 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1736 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1737 - raw data dump output
1738 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1739 numbers into english (limited success)
1740 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1741 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1742 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1743 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1744 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1745 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1746 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1747 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1748 for socket 0 operations.
1749 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1753 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1754 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1755 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1756 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1758 - syncberry tree started
