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

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

228 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
229 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
231 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
232 to avoid the CVS directories
233 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
234 diff.gz and dsc files
235 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
236 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
239 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
240 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
241 real opensync libraries
243 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
244 building RPM's from CVS
245 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
246 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
247 on ./configure command line
249 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
250 so that the database name is stored as the first line
252 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
254 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
255 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
257 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
258 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
260 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
261 Paul Dugas for the tip
263 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
264 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
265 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
266 - updated AUTHORS file
268 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
269 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
270 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
271 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
272 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
273 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
274 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
275 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
277 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
278 - updated copyright statments for 2008
280 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
282 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
283 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
288 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
292 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
295 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
296 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
298 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
299 - added pause to maintainer release script
305 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
309 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
311 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
312 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
314 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
315 search by busname / devname
316 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
317 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
318 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
319 bus/device names, and updated the man page
320 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
321 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
322 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
323 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
324 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
325 spec file for opensuse
327 - added better error checking to breset
328 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
329 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
330 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
331 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
332 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
333 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
334 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
336 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
337 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
338 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
339 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
340 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
341 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
342 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
343 make applications look more capable, not less.
344 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
345 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
346 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
349 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
350 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
353 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
354 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
355 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
356 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
357 at the same time as usb_storage.
358 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
359 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
360 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
361 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
362 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
363 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
364 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
365 fail naturally on these devices.
366 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
368 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
369 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
371 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
372 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
374 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
376 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
377 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
378 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
379 that release package builds can be done faster
381 - opensync plugin fixes:
382 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
383 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
384 and keep track of the hierarchy when
385 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
386 - added support for searching for attributes only
387 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
388 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
390 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
391 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
392 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
393 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
394 ToBarry conversion results
395 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
397 - fixed typo in previous fix
399 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
400 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
401 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
406 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
410 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
411 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
413 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
414 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
415 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
416 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
418 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
419 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
421 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
422 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
423 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
424 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
425 without recompiling the kernel.
426 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
428 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
429 information in README files to html format, so that it
430 is commonly available on the web
431 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
432 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
434 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
435 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
438 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
439 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
440 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
441 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
442 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
443 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
444 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
445 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
446 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
447 explanatory document for various system requirements
448 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
450 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
451 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
452 for opensuse rpm builds
454 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
455 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
456 - fixed build target to i386
457 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
460 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
461 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
462 will be updated more frequently
464 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
465 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
466 configure scripts to support external build directories
467 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
468 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
469 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
470 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
471 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
474 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
475 parse the comma separated string into an array,
477 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
478 and will affect backward compatibility with
479 old serialization datafiles
480 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
481 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
483 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
484 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
486 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
487 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
488 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
489 - fixed in opensync plugin:
490 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
491 so added lower case conversion routine
492 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
493 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
494 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
495 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
497 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
498 - added status message to endpoint override
500 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
501 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
502 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
503 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
504 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
505 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
507 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
508 The description is now part of the probe results
509 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
510 a new attribute definition.
511 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
512 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
513 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
514 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
515 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
516 in order to better support SWIG and Python
518 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
519 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
520 settings automatically where possible
521 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
522 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
524 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
525 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
526 error.cc is now an empty shell
527 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
528 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
529 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
530 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
531 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
533 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
538 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
542 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
543 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
544 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
546 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
547 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
549 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
550 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
551 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
552 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
553 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
555 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
556 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
557 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
558 endian bug in the process)
559 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
560 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
561 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
562 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
563 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
564 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
565 - opensync-plugin/README update
566 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
567 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
568 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
570 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
572 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
575 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
576 for the broken-down name instead of N
577 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
578 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
579 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
580 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
581 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
582 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
583 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
584 registered two. Moving to single change commit
585 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
586 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
587 ease memory pressure in the library.
588 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
590 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
591 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
592 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
594 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
596 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
597 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
598 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
599 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
600 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
601 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
602 record into the device.... First/Last Name
603 fields are position sensitive, and the code
604 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
605 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
606 were not updated to handle the new field
607 table added for the postal address changes
610 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
611 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
612 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
613 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
614 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
615 UID strings, instead of just numbers
616 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
617 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
618 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
619 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
620 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
622 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
623 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
624 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
625 sync the wrong device and lose data.
626 Actions to take on new PIN:
627 - force slow_sync, or
629 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
630 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
631 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
632 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
634 - changed PIN error message number to hex
636 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
637 "Backup in progress..."
638 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
639 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
640 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
641 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
642 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
643 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
644 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
645 a new class called PostalAddress
646 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
647 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
648 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
649 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
651 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
653 - added vCard converter class
654 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
655 of empty attribute values and parameters,
656 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
657 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
658 an extra nth argument, in order to search
659 for multiple attributes with the same name...
660 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
661 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
662 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
665 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
666 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
667 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
668 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
672 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
673 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
674 new Barry ID would look like a new change
675 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
676 - added support for slow sync
677 - added clear() to idmap class
678 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
679 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
680 - added Notification time support
681 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
682 does not exist in a vformat data block
683 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
684 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
685 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
686 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
687 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
688 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
689 special cases in the future
691 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
693 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
694 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
695 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
697 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
698 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
699 library API that is not yet finished... will be
700 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
701 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
703 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
704 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
705 the goal is to be able to do:
706 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
708 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
709 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
710 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
711 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
713 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
714 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
716 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
718 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
719 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
721 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
722 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
723 in general use will not break on build
724 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
725 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
726 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
728 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
730 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
731 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
732 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
733 SetIds() is already there
734 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
735 and moved into record.h
736 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
738 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
739 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
740 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
741 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
743 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
745 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
746 - changes to PIN message patch:
747 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
748 - fixed tab alignment throughout
749 - removed typedef from Address struct
750 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
751 going to be a standalone type
752 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
753 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
754 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
755 backing on a field for other use
756 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
757 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
758 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
759 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
760 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
761 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
762 PIN Message so that we store both of these
765 - added item to gui/TODO
766 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
768 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
769 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
770 modified to split into the new separate files system
771 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
772 - reformatted the code to match coding style
774 - added copyright notice
775 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
776 - placed in Barry namespace
777 - added #ifdef header protectors
778 - added new files to Makefile.am
779 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
780 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
781 Brian Edginton's patch
782 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
783 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
786 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
787 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
791 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
792 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
793 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
794 linker errors with the new file layout
796 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
797 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
798 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
800 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
801 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
802 and added a command line option to turn
803 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
804 - command line option --help now also works
805 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
806 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
807 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
808 localizing the constants in one place
810 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
811 fields in Contact and Calendar records
812 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
813 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
814 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
815 Outlook from the comments.
816 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
817 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
818 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
819 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
820 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
825 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
826 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
829 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
830 based on the example plugin in the opensync
831 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
835 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
836 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
837 and then success afterward
838 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
839 - added item to gui's todo list
840 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
844 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
848 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
849 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
851 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
852 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
853 - updated maintainer/README
854 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
856 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
857 - bumped release number in barry.spec
860 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
861 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
862 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
863 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
865 - added development note to README
867 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
870 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
871 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
874 - removed some unneeded trace logs
875 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
877 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
878 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
880 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
881 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
883 - opensync module work:
884 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
885 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
886 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
887 a hard coded calendar record state table
888 - added lots of logging throughout
889 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
890 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
891 causing another sync on the next run
892 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
893 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
894 written to the Blackberry
895 - more opensync module work:
896 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
897 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
898 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
899 the environment classes
900 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
901 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
903 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
904 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
905 a sample configuration
906 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
907 on success (opensync module)
908 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
909 - allowed comments in the config file
910 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
911 routines are not available from the plugin side
914 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
915 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
916 only use idProduct, and updated man page
917 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
918 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
919 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
920 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
921 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
922 and the old search didn't always work
923 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
924 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
925 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
926 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
927 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
928 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
929 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
930 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
931 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
933 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
934 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
935 the vevent20 data (experimental)
937 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
938 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
940 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
942 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
943 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
945 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
947 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
949 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
950 FullName, even if there was no last name)
951 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
952 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
953 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
954 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
955 this special case, without relying on string length.
956 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
957 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
958 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
960 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
962 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
963 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
964 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
965 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
966 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
967 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
968 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
969 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
970 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
972 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
973 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
975 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
976 udev rules for the Pearl
977 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
979 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
980 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
981 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
982 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
983 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
984 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
985 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
986 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
987 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
988 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
989 - added license file to each package
990 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
993 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
994 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
996 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
997 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
998 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1000 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1001 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1002 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1003 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1004 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1005 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1006 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1007 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1008 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1010 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1011 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1017 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1020 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1022 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1023 device discovery code
1024 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1025 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1026 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1027 than are really available... in this case, let's
1028 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1029 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1030 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1031 - ReleaseChecklist update
1032 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1033 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1036 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1037 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1039 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1040 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1041 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1042 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1043 no databases selected in configuration
1044 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1045 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1046 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1047 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1048 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1050 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1051 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1052 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1053 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1054 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1055 -v now controls this as well
1056 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1057 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1058 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1059 the beginning of USB conversations
1060 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1061 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1062 its sequence number behaviour
1063 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1064 socket 0 level command
1065 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1066 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1067 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1068 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1069 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1070 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1071 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1072 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1073 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1074 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1075 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1076 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1077 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1079 - updated controller.cc:
1080 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1081 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1082 selecting modes, as it should use the
1083 socket 0 sequence number
1084 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1085 - updated some .cvsignore files
1087 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1088 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1093 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1094 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1095 new PasswordChallenge struct
1096 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1097 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1098 password hashing logic.
1099 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1101 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1102 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1103 - major LDIF overhaul:
1104 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1106 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1107 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1108 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1110 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1112 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1113 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1115 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1116 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1117 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1118 - large update to btool manpage
1119 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1121 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1122 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1123 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1124 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1125 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1126 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1127 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1128 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1129 instead of hardcoding it.
1131 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1132 - minor tweaks to README
1133 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1134 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1135 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1136 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1137 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1138 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1139 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1141 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1142 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1143 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1144 - added iomanip to debug.h
1145 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1146 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1149 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1150 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1151 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1152 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1155 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1156 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1158 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1160 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1161 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1162 one base class: Barry::Error
1163 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1164 - added BadPassword exception
1170 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1171 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1172 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1173 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1174 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1175 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1176 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1178 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1179 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1180 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1181 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1182 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1183 due to pending reads
1185 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1186 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1188 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1189 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1190 - iostream output size fixes
1191 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1192 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1193 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1194 this is still experimental
1195 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1196 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1198 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1199 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1200 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1201 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1203 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1204 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1205 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1206 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1207 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1208 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1209 and record objects that use it.
1210 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1211 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1213 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1214 This returns the default rectype that should work
1215 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1216 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1217 records, this info would be good to know.
1218 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1219 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1220 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1221 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1222 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1223 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1224 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1225 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1226 - backup GUI updates:
1227 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1228 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1229 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1230 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1231 i.e. Backup or Restore
1232 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1233 it appears to be read-only on the device
1234 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1235 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1236 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1237 supported now by the library
1239 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1240 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1242 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1243 using the library should not care about endianness
1244 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1245 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1247 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1249 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1250 Version call instead
1251 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1253 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1254 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1255 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1257 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1258 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1259 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1261 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1262 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1263 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1264 through btool, for development
1265 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1266 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1267 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1268 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1269 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1270 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1271 exceptions need to be handled with
1272 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1273 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1274 - added pending gui/TODO items
1276 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1277 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1278 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1279 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1280 when we try to write to it)
1281 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1283 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1285 - updated copyright dates for the new year

1289 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1291 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1292 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1293 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1294 backups only at this point
1296 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1297 - added version API, returning version number and string
1298 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1299 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1300 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1301 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1303 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1304 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1306 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1307 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1308 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1309 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1311 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1313 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1315 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1316 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1318 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1320 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1321 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1323 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1324 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1325 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1326 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1327 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1328 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1330 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1331 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1332 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1334 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1335 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1336 a future Debian install
1337 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1338 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1339 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1340 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1342 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1343 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1344 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1360 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1361 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1362 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1363 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1364 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1366 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1367 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1368 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1369 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1370 properly when installed standalone
1371 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1372 installed barry library
1373 - added commentary on version number system

1403 uploading to device to fail
1405 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1407 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1408 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1409 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1410 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1411 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1412 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1414 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1415 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1416 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1417 exceptions leak into the C library code
1419 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1420 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1422 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1423 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1425 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1428 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1429 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1430 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1431 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1432 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1433 header of its own, in the case of email
1434 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1435 Record does not know the details of the packet
1436 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1437 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1438 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1439 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1440 the record format details, but does know the
1441 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1443 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1444 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1445 record formats being the same even with different
1446 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1447 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1448 See the header size of the email record after
1450 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1451 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1452 The Controller object does not know the format
1453 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1454 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1455 to talk to the device.
1456 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1458 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1460 - added sample hotplug scripts
1461 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1462 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1463 handle non-little-endian machines
1464 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1465 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1466 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1467 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1468 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1469 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1470 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1471 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1473 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1475 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1476 flags of individual blackberry device records

1483 - removed slow sync functions for now
1485 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1486 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1487 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1488 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1489 the base classes for all exceptions
1490 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1491 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1493 - added to Contact record class:
1495 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1496 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1497 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1505 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1507 - old and new description
1509 - bes domain / domain
1510 - date change in legal.txt
1511 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1512 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1513 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1514 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1515 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1517 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1518 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1519 - added AUTHORS file
1520 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1521 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1522 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1547 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1548 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1549 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1569 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1570 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1571 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1572 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1573 throw exception in controller.cc
1574 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1575 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1576 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1577 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1578 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1579 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1580 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1596 - added boost::serialization to build
1597 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1598 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1599 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1600 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1601 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1603 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1612 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1613 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1616 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1617 optimize away protocol struct casts

1623 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1624 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1625 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1626 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1628 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1651 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1652 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1653 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1654 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1655 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1656 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1657 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1658 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1659 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1660 seem to need more time...)
1661 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1662 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1663 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1664 with Python, if used(?)
1665 - added Message class for Email records
1666 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1667 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1684 a public API function
1685 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1686 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1688 - added mode checks to Controller
1689 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1690 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1691 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded

1695 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1696 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1697 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1698 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1699 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1700 from the Command Table
1701 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1702 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1703 the Cassis spec more closely
1704 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1705 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1706 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1709 - added Doxyfile to the project
1711 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1712 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1713 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1715 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1716 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1717 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1718 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1719 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1720 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1721 less buffer than data copied
1722 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1723 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1724 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1725 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1727 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1728 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1730 - implemented socket::Close()
1731 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1732 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1733 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1735 - added .cvsignore files to project
1736 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1737 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1738 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1739 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1740 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1742 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1743 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1744 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1746 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1747 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1748 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1749 - regular debug output
1750 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1751 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1752 - raw data dump output
1753 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1754 numbers into english (limited success)
1755 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1756 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1757 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1758 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1759 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1760 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1761 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1762 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1763 for socket 0 operations.
1764 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1768 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1769 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1770 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1771 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1773 - syncberry tree started
