1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/06/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added modem reset workaround to web documentation page
5 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
6 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
7 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
8 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
9 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
10 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
11 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
12 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
14 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
15 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
16 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
17 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
20 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
21 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
22 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
23 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
24 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
25 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
26 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
27 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
29 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
30 - documentation updates:

46 - updated rpm spec file history
47 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
48 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
49 and updated the build process to support them.
50 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
51 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
52 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
53 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc

62 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
63 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
64 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
66 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs

82 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
83 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
85 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
86 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
87 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
88 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
90 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
91 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
92 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
93 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
94 order (no code change, only move)
95 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
96 possible to determine whether a program is using
97 threaded or non-threaded sockets
98 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
99 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
100 and updated the man page
101 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
102 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
105 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
106 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
107 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
108 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
109 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
110 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
111 IpModem endpoints are available
112 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
113 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
114 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
115 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
116 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
118 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
119 to file instead of stderr
120 - added man page for pppob
122 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
123 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
125 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
128 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
129 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
130 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
131 I'm looking at you...)
132 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
133 if no command line arguments are specified
134 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
135 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
137 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
138 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
139 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
140 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
141 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
142 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
143 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
144 like a null terminated string... also added more
145 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
146 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
147 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
148 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
149 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
150 on database records, for testing
151 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
152 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
153 which completes builder support
154 Checksums from the following commands now match:
155 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
156 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
157 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
158 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
159 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
161 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
162 work again... Thanks!
163 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
166 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
167 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
168 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
171 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
174 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
175 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

301 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
303 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
304 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
306 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
307 to avoid the CVS directories
308 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
309 diff.gz and dsc files
310 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
311 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
314 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
315 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
316 real opensync libraries
318 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
319 building RPM's from CVS
320 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
321 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
322 on ./configure command line
324 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
325 so that the database name is stored as the first line
327 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
329 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
330 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
332 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
333 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
335 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
336 Paul Dugas for the tip
338 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
339 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
340 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
341 - updated AUTHORS file
343 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
344 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
345 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
346 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
347 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
348 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
349 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.

352 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
353 - updated copyright statments for 2008
355 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
357 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
358 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
363 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
367 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
370 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
371 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
373 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
374 - added pause to maintainer release script
380 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
384 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
386 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
387 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
389 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
390 search by busname / devname
391 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
392 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
393 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
394 bus/device names, and updated the man page
395 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
396 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
397 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
398 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
399 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
400 spec file for opensuse
402 - added better error checking to breset
403 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
404 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
405 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
406 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
407 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
408 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
409 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
411 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
412 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
413 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
414 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
415 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
416 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
417 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
418 make applications look more capable, not less.
419 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
420 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
421 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
424 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
425 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
428 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
429 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
430 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
431 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
432 at the same time as usb_storage.
433 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
434 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
435 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
436 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
437 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
438 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
439 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
440 fail naturally on these devices.
441 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
443 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
444 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
446 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
447 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
449 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
451 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
452 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
453 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
454 that release package builds can be done faster
456 - opensync plugin fixes:
457 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
458 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
459 and keep track of the hierarchy when
460 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
461 - added support for searching for attributes only
462 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
463 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
465 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
466 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
467 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
468 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
469 ToBarry conversion results
470 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
472 - fixed typo in previous fix
474 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
475 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
476 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
481 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
485 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
486 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
488 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
489 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
490 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
491 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
493 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
494 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
496 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
497 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
498 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
499 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
500 without recompiling the kernel.
501 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
503 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
504 information in README files to html format, so that it
505 is commonly available on the web
506 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
507 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
509 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
510 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
513 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
514 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
515 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
516 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
517 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
518 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
519 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
520 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
521 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
522 explanatory document for various system requirements
523 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
525 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
526 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
527 for opensuse rpm builds
529 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
530 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
531 - fixed build target to i386
532 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
535 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
536 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
537 will be updated more frequently
539 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
540 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
541 configure scripts to support external build directories
542 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
543 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
544 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
545 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
546 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
549 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
550 parse the comma separated string into an array,
552 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
553 and will affect backward compatibility with
554 old serialization datafiles
555 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
556 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
558 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
559 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
561 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
562 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
563 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
564 - fixed in opensync plugin:
565 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
566 so added lower case conversion routine
567 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
568 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
569 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
570 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
572 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
573 - added status message to endpoint override
575 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
576 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
577 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
578 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
579 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
580 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
582 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
583 The description is now part of the probe results
584 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
585 a new attribute definition.
586 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
587 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
588 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
589 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
590 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
591 in order to better support SWIG and Python
593 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
594 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
595 settings automatically where possible
596 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
597 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
599 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
600 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
601 error.cc is now an empty shell
602 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
603 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
604 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
605 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
606 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
608 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
613 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
617 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
618 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
619 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
621 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
622 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
624 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
625 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
626 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc

628 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
630 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
631 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
632 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
633 endian bug in the process)
634 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
635 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
636 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
637 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
638 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
639 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
640 - opensync-plugin/README update
641 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
642 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
643 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
645 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
647 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
650 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
651 for the broken-down name instead of N
652 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
653 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
654 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
655 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
656 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
657 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
658 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
659 registered two. Moving to single change commit
660 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
661 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
662 ease memory pressure in the library.
663 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
665 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
666 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
667 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
669 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
671 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
672 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
673 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
674 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
675 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
676 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
677 record into the device.... First/Last Name
678 fields are position sensitive, and the code
679 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
680 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
681 were not updated to handle the new field
682 table added for the postal address changes
685 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
686 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
687 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
688 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
689 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
690 UID strings, instead of just numbers
691 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
692 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
693 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
694 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
695 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
697 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
698 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
699 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
700 sync the wrong device and lose data.
701 Actions to take on new PIN:
702 - force slow_sync, or
704 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
705 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
706 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
707 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
709 - changed PIN error message number to hex
711 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
712 "Backup in progress..."
713 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
714 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
715 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
716 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
717 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
718 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
719 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
720 a new class called PostalAddress
721 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
722 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
723 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
724 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
726 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
728 - added vCard converter class
729 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
730 of empty attribute values and parameters,
731 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
732 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
733 an extra nth argument, in order to search
734 for multiple attributes with the same name...
735 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
736 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
737 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
740 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
741 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
742 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
743 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
747 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
748 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
749 new Barry ID would look like a new change
750 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
751 - added support for slow sync
752 - added clear() to idmap class
753 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
754 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
755 - added Notification time support
756 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
757 does not exist in a vformat data block
758 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
759 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
760 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
761 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
762 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
763 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
764 special cases in the future
766 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
768 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
769 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
770 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
772 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
773 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
774 library API that is not yet finished... will be
775 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
776 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
778 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
779 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
780 the goal is to be able to do:
781 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
783 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
784 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
785 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
786 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
788 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
789 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
791 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
793 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
794 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
796 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
797 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
798 in general use will not break on build
799 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
800 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
801 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
803 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
805 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
806 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
807 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
808 SetIds() is already there
809 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
810 and moved into record.h
811 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
813 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
814 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
815 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
816 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
818 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
820 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
821 - changes to PIN message patch:
822 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
823 - fixed tab alignment throughout
824 - removed typedef from Address struct
825 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
826 going to be a standalone type
827 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
828 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
829 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
830 backing on a field for other use
831 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
832 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
833 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
834 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
835 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
836 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
837 PIN Message so that we store both of these
840 - added item to gui/TODO
841 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
843 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
844 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
845 modified to split into the new separate files system
846 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
847 - reformatted the code to match coding style
849 - added copyright notice
850 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
851 - placed in Barry namespace
852 - added #ifdef header protectors
853 - added new files to Makefile.am
854 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
855 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
856 Brian Edginton's patch
857 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
858 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
861 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
862 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
866 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
867 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
868 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
869 linker errors with the new file layout
871 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
872 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
873 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
875 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
876 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
877 and added a command line option to turn
878 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
879 - command line option --help now also works
880 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
881 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
882 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
883 localizing the constants in one place
885 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
886 fields in Contact and Calendar records
887 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
888 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
889 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
890 Outlook from the comments.
891 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
892 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
893 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
894 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
895 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
900 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
901 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
904 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
905 based on the example plugin in the opensync
906 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
910 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
911 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
912 and then success afterward
913 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
914 - added item to gui's todo list
915 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
919 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
923 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
924 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
926 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
927 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
928 - updated maintainer/README
929 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
931 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
932 - bumped release number in barry.spec
935 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
936 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
937 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
938 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
940 - added development note to README
942 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
945 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
946 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
949 - removed some unneeded trace logs
950 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
952 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
953 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
955 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
956 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
958 - opensync module work:
959 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
960 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
961 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
962 a hard coded calendar record state table
963 - added lots of logging throughout
964 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
965 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
966 causing another sync on the next run
967 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
968 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
969 written to the Blackberry
970 - more opensync module work:
971 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
972 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
973 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
974 the environment classes
975 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
976 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
978 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
979 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
980 a sample configuration
981 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
982 on success (opensync module)
983 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
984 - allowed comments in the config file
985 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
986 routines are not available from the plugin side
989 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
990 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
991 only use idProduct, and updated man page
992 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
993 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
994 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
995 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
996 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
997 and the old search didn't always work
998 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
999 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1000 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1001 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1002 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1003 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1004 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1005 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1006 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1008 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1009 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1010 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1012 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1013 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1015 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1017 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1018 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1020 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1022 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1024 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1025 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1026 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1027 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1028 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1029 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1030 this special case, without relying on string length.
1031 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1032 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1033 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1035 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1037 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1038 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1039 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1040 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1041 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1042 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1043 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1044 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1045 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1047 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1048 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1050 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1051 udev rules for the Pearl
1052 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1054 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1055 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1056 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1057 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1058 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1059 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1060 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1061 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1062 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1063 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1064 - added license file to each package
1065 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1068 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1069 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1071 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1072 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1073 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1075 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1076 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1077 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1078 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1079 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1080 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1081 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1082 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1083 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1085 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1086 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1092 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1095 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1097 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1098 device discovery code
1099 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1100 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1101 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1102 than are really available... in this case, let's
1103 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1104 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1105 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1106 - ReleaseChecklist update
1107 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1108 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1111 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1112 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1114 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1115 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1116 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1117 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1118 no databases selected in configuration
1119 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1120 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1121 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1122 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1123 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1125 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1126 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1127 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1128 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1129 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1130 -v now controls this as well
1131 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1132 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1133 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1134 the beginning of USB conversations
1135 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1136 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1137 its sequence number behaviour
1138 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1139 socket 0 level command
1140 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1141 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1142 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1143 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1144 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1145 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1146 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1147 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1148 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1149 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1150 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1151 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1152 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1154 - updated controller.cc:
1155 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1156 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1157 selecting modes, as it should use the
1158 socket 0 sequence number
1159 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1160 - updated some .cvsignore files
1162 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1163 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1168 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1169 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1170 new PasswordChallenge struct
1171 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1172 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1173 password hashing logic.
1174 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1176 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1177 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1178 - major LDIF overhaul:
1179 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1181 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1182 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1183 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1185 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1187 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1188 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1190 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1191 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1192 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1193 - large update to btool manpage
1194 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1196 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1197 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1198 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1199 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1200 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1201 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1202 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1203 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1204 instead of hardcoding it.
1206 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1207 - minor tweaks to README
1208 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1209 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1210 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1211 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1212 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1213 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1214 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1216 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1217 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1218 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1219 - added iomanip to debug.h
1220 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1221 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1224 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1225 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1226 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1227 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1230 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1231 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1233 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1235 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1236 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1237 one base class: Barry::Error
1238 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1239 - added BadPassword exception
1245 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1246 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1247 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1248 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1249 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1250 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1251 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1253 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1254 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1255 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1256 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1257 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1258 due to pending reads
1260 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1261 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1263 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1264 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1265 - iostream output size fixes
1266 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1267 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1268 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1269 this is still experimental
1270 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1271 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1273 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1274 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1275 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1276 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1278 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1279 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1280 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1281 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1282 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1283 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1284 and record objects that use it.
1285 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1286 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1288 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1289 This returns the default rectype that should work
1290 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1291 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1292 records, this info would be good to know.
1293 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1294 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1295 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1296 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1297 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1298 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1299 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1300 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1301 - backup GUI updates:
1302 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1303 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1304 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1305 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1306 i.e. Backup or Restore
1307 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1308 it appears to be read-only on the device
1309 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1310 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1311 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1312 supported now by the library
1314 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1315 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1317 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1318 using the library should not care about endianness
1319 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1320 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1322 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1324 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1325 Version call instead
1326 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1328 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1329 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1330 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1332 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1333 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1334 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1336 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1337 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1338 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1339 through btool, for development
1340 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1341 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1342 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1343 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1344 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1345 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1346 exceptions need to be handled with
1347 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1348 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1349 - added pending gui/TODO items
1351 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1352 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1353 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1354 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1355 when we try to write to it)
1356 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1358 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1360 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1361 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1362 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1363 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1364 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1366 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1367 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1368 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1369 backups only at this point
1371 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1372 - added version API, returning version number and string
1373 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1374 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1375 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1376 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1378 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1379 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1381 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1382 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1383 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1384 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1386 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1388 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1390 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1391 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1393 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1395 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1396 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1398 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1399 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1400 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1401 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1402 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1403 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1405 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1406 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1407 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1409 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1410 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1411 a future Debian install
1412 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1413 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1414 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1415 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1417 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1418 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1419 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1420 - fixed more endian issues
1421 - minor update to TODO
1423 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1424 - added doc/USB-capture.txt

1427 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1428 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1429 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1431 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1432 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1433 on old build system if wanted
1434 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1435 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1436 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1437 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1438 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1439 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1441 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1442 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1443 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1444 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1445 properly when installed standalone
1446 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1447 installed barry library
1448 - added commentary on version number system
1449 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1450 system supercedes it
1451 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1452 - added library version number to autoconf build
1453 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1454 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1472 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1474 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1475 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1477 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1478 uploading to device to fail
1480 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1482 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1483 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1484 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1485 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1486 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1487 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1489 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1490 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1491 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1492 exceptions leak into the C library code
1494 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1495 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1497 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1498 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1500 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1503 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1504 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1505 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1506 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1507 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1508 header of its own, in the case of email
1509 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1510 Record does not know the details of the packet
1511 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1512 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1513 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1514 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1515 the record format details, but does know the
1516 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1518 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1519 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1520 record formats being the same even with different
1521 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1522 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1523 See the header size of the email record after
1525 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1526 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1527 The Controller object does not know the format
1528 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1529 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1530 to talk to the device.
1531 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1533 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1535 - added sample hotplug scripts
1536 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1537 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1538 handle non-little-endian machines
1539 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1540 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1541 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1542 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1543 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1544 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1545 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1546 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1548 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1550 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1551 flags of individual blackberry device records
1552 - added endian macros throughout the code
1554 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1555 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1556 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1558 - removed slow sync functions for now
1560 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1561 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1562 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1563 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1564 the base classes for all exceptions
1565 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1566 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1568 - added to Contact record class:
1570 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1571 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1572 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1575 and upload it to a blackberry
1576 - updated src/.cvsignore
1578 - added parsing of service book fields:
1580 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1582 - old and new description
1584 - bes domain / domain
1585 - date change in legal.txt
1586 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1587 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1588 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1589 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1590 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1592 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1593 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1594 - added AUTHORS file
1595 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1596 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1597 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1599 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1600 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1602 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1606 to the Controller class
1607 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1608 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1609 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1610 support of the template Controller functions

1614 of Controller template member usage
1616 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1618 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1619 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1642 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1644 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1645 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1646 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1647 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1648 throw exception in controller.cc
1649 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1650 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1651 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1652 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1653 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1654 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1655 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1656 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1671 - added boost::serialization to build
1672 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1673 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1674 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1675 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1676 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1678 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1679 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1680 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1681 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1683 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc

1685 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1686 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1687 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1688 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1691 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1692 optimize away protocol struct casts

1698 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1699 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1700 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1701 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1703 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1726 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1727 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1728 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1729 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1730 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1731 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1732 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1733 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1734 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1735 seem to need more time...)
1736 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1737 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1738 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1739 with Python, if used(?)
1740 - added Message class for Email records
1741 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1742 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1743 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1756 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1757 better suited to its general API purpose
1758 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1759 a public API function
1760 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1761 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1763 - added mode checks to Controller
1764 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1765 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1766 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1769 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1770 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1771 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1772 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1773 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1774 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1775 from the Command Table
1776 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1777 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1778 the Cassis spec more closely
1779 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1780 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1781 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1784 - added Doxyfile to the project
1786 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1787 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1788 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1790 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1791 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1792 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1793 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1794 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1795 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1796 less buffer than data copied
1797 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1798 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1799 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1800 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1802 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1803 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1805 - implemented socket::Close()
1806 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1807 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1808 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1810 - added .cvsignore files to project
1811 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1812 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1813 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1814 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1815 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1817 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1818 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1819 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1821 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1822 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1823 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1824 - regular debug output
1825 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1826 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1827 - raw data dump output
1828 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1829 numbers into english (limited success)
1830 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1831 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1832 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1833 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1834 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1835 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1836 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1837 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1838 for socket 0 operations.
1839 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1843 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1844 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1845 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1846 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1848 - syncberry tree started
