18 - updated rpm spec file history
19 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
20 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
21 and updated the build process to support them.
22 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
23 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
24 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
25 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc
26 - deleted old src/Makefile.orig
27 - updated Debian binary package:
28 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, pppob, upldif,
30 - added ppp options and chat scripts, with postinit
31 script to set permissions
32 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
34 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
35 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
36 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
38 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
41 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,
42 enabled "usepeerdns" in both, and disabled the speed
43 setting in barry-verizon
44 - updates to website documentation
45 - added FC9 to distro list

47 - added page for USB modem / pppob
49 - added sample ppp options files for Verizon Blackberries
50 Sample files from Michael L. Stokes

54 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
55 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
57 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
58 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
59 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
60 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
62 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
63 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
64 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
65 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
66 order (no code change, only move)
67 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
68 possible to determine whether a program is using
69 threaded or non-threaded sockets
70 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
71 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
72 and updated the man page
73 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob

77 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
78 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
79 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
80 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
81 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
82 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
83 IpModem endpoints are available
84 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
85 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
86 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
87 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
88 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
90 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
91 to file instead of stderr
92 - added man page for pppob
94 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
95 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
97 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
100 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
101 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
102 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
103 I'm looking at you...)
104 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
105 if no command line arguments are specified
106 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
107 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
109 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
110 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
111 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
112 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
113 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
114 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
115 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
116 like a null terminated string... also added more
117 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
118 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
119 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
120 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
121 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
122 on database records, for testing
123 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
124 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
125 which completes builder support
126 Checksums from the following commands now match:
127 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
128 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
129 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
130 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
131 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
133 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
134 work again... Thanks!
135 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
138 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
139 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
140 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
143 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
146 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
147 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

273 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
275 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
276 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
278 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
279 to avoid the CVS directories
280 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
281 diff.gz and dsc files
282 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
283 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
286 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
287 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
288 real opensync libraries
290 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
291 building RPM's from CVS
292 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
293 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
294 on ./configure command line
296 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
297 so that the database name is stored as the first line
299 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
301 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
302 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
304 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
305 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
307 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
308 Paul Dugas for the tip
310 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
311 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
312 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
313 - updated AUTHORS file
315 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
316 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
317 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
318 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
319 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
320 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
321 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
322 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
324 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
325 - updated copyright statments for 2008
327 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
329 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
330 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
335 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
339 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
342 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
343 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
345 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
346 - added pause to maintainer release script
352 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
356 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
358 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
359 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
361 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
362 search by busname / devname
363 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
364 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
365 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
366 bus/device names, and updated the man page
367 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
368 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
369 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
370 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
371 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
372 spec file for opensuse
374 - added better error checking to breset
375 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
376 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
377 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
378 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
379 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
380 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
381 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
383 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
384 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
385 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
386 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
387 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
388 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
389 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
390 make applications look more capable, not less.
391 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
392 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
393 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
396 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
397 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
400 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
401 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
402 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
403 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
404 at the same time as usb_storage.
405 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
406 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
407 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
408 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
409 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
410 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
411 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
412 fail naturally on these devices.
413 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
415 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
416 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
418 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
419 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
421 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
423 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
424 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
425 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
426 that release package builds can be done faster
428 - opensync plugin fixes:
429 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
430 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
431 and keep track of the hierarchy when
432 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
433 - added support for searching for attributes only
434 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
435 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
437 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
438 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
439 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
440 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
441 ToBarry conversion results
442 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
444 - fixed typo in previous fix
446 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
447 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
448 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
453 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
457 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
458 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
460 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
461 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
462 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
463 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
465 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
466 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
468 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
469 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
470 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
471 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
472 without recompiling the kernel.
473 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
475 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
476 information in README files to html format, so that it
477 is commonly available on the web
478 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
479 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
481 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
482 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
485 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
486 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
487 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
488 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
489 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
490 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
491 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
492 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
493 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
494 explanatory document for various system requirements
495 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
497 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
498 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
499 for opensuse rpm builds
501 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
502 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
503 - fixed build target to i386
504 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
507 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
508 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
509 will be updated more frequently
511 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
512 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
513 configure scripts to support external build directories
514 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
515 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
516 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
517 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
518 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
521 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
522 parse the comma separated string into an array,
524 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
525 and will affect backward compatibility with
526 old serialization datafiles
527 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
528 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
530 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
531 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
533 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
534 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
535 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
536 - fixed in opensync plugin:
537 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
538 so added lower case conversion routine
539 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
540 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
541 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
542 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
544 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
545 - added status message to endpoint override
547 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
548 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
549 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
550 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
551 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
552 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
554 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
555 The description is now part of the probe results
556 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
557 a new attribute definition.
558 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
559 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
560 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
561 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
562 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
563 in order to better support SWIG and Python
565 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
566 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
567 settings automatically where possible
568 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
569 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
571 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
572 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
573 error.cc is now an empty shell
574 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
575 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
576 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
577 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
578 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
580 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
585 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
589 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
590 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
591 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
593 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
594 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
596 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
597 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
598 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
599 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
600 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
602 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
603 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
604 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
605 endian bug in the process)
606 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
607 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
608 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
609 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
610 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
611 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
612 - opensync-plugin/README update
613 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
614 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
615 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
617 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
619 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
622 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
623 for the broken-down name instead of N
624 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
625 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
626 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
627 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
628 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
629 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
630 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
631 registered two. Moving to single change commit
632 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
633 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
634 ease memory pressure in the library.
635 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
637 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
638 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
639 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
641 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
643 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
644 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
645 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
646 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
647 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
648 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
649 record into the device.... First/Last Name
650 fields are position sensitive, and the code
651 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
652 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
653 were not updated to handle the new field
654 table added for the postal address changes
657 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
658 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
659 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
660 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
661 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
662 UID strings, instead of just numbers
663 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
664 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
665 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
666 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
667 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
669 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
670 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
671 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
672 sync the wrong device and lose data.
673 Actions to take on new PIN:
674 - force slow_sync, or
676 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
677 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
678 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
679 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
681 - changed PIN error message number to hex
683 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
684 "Backup in progress..."
685 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
686 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
687 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
688 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
689 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
690 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
691 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
692 a new class called PostalAddress
693 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
694 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
695 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
696 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
698 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
700 - added vCard converter class
701 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
702 of empty attribute values and parameters,
703 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
704 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
705 an extra nth argument, in order to search
706 for multiple attributes with the same name...
707 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
708 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
709 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
712 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
713 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
714 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
715 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
719 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
720 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
721 new Barry ID would look like a new change
722 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
723 - added support for slow sync
724 - added clear() to idmap class
725 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
726 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
727 - added Notification time support
728 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
729 does not exist in a vformat data block
730 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
731 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
732 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
733 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
734 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
735 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
736 special cases in the future
738 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
740 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
741 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
742 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
744 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
745 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
746 library API that is not yet finished... will be
747 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
748 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
750 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
751 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
752 the goal is to be able to do:
753 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
755 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
756 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
757 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
758 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
760 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
761 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
763 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
765 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
766 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
768 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
769 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
770 in general use will not break on build
771 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
772 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
773 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
775 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
777 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
778 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
779 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
780 SetIds() is already there
781 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
782 and moved into record.h
783 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
785 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
786 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
787 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
788 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
790 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
792 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
793 - changes to PIN message patch:
794 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
795 - fixed tab alignment throughout
796 - removed typedef from Address struct
797 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
798 going to be a standalone type
799 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
800 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
801 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
802 backing on a field for other use
803 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
804 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
805 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
806 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
807 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
808 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
809 PIN Message so that we store both of these
812 - added item to gui/TODO
813 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
815 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
816 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
817 modified to split into the new separate files system
818 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
819 - reformatted the code to match coding style
821 - added copyright notice
822 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
823 - placed in Barry namespace
824 - added #ifdef header protectors
825 - added new files to Makefile.am
826 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
827 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
828 Brian Edginton's patch
829 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
830 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
833 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
834 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
838 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
839 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
840 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
841 linker errors with the new file layout
843 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
844 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
845 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
847 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
848 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
849 and added a command line option to turn
850 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
851 - command line option --help now also works
852 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
853 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
854 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
855 localizing the constants in one place
857 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
858 fields in Contact and Calendar records
859 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
860 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
861 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
862 Outlook from the comments.
863 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
864 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
865 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
866 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
867 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
872 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
873 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
876 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
877 based on the example plugin in the opensync
878 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
882 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
883 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
884 and then success afterward
885 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
886 - added item to gui's todo list
887 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
891 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
895 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
896 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
898 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
899 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
900 - updated maintainer/README
901 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
903 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
904 - bumped release number in barry.spec
907 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
908 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
909 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
910 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
912 - added development note to README
914 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
917 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
918 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
921 - removed some unneeded trace logs
922 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
924 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
925 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
927 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
928 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
930 - opensync module work:
931 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
932 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
933 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
934 a hard coded calendar record state table
935 - added lots of logging throughout
936 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
937 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
938 causing another sync on the next run
939 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
940 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
941 written to the Blackberry
942 - more opensync module work:
943 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
944 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
945 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
946 the environment classes
947 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
948 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
950 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
951 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
952 a sample configuration
953 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
954 on success (opensync module)
955 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
956 - allowed comments in the config file
957 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
958 routines are not available from the plugin side
961 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
962 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
963 only use idProduct, and updated man page
964 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
965 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
966 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
967 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
968 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
969 and the old search didn't always work
970 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
971 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
972 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
973 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
974 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
975 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
976 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
977 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
978 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
980 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
981 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
982 the vevent20 data (experimental)
984 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
985 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
987 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
989 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
990 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
992 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
994 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
996 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
997 FullName, even if there was no last name)
998 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
999 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1000 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1001 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1002 this special case, without relying on string length.
1003 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1004 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1005 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1007 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1009 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1010 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1011 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1012 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1013 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1014 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1015 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1016 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1017 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1019 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1020 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1022 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1023 udev rules for the Pearl
1024 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1026 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1027 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1028 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1029 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1030 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1031 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1032 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1033 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1034 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1035 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1036 - added license file to each package
1037 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1040 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1041 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1043 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1044 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1045 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1047 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1048 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1049 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1050 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1051 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1052 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1053 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1054 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1055 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1057 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1058 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1064 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1067 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1069 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1070 device discovery code
1071 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1072 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1073 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1074 than are really available... in this case, let's
1075 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1076 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1077 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1078 - ReleaseChecklist update
1079 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes

1094 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1095 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1097 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1098 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1099 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1100 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1101 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1102 -v now controls this as well
1103 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1104 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1105 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1106 the beginning of USB conversations
1107 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1108 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1109 its sequence number behaviour
1110 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1111 socket 0 level command
1112 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1113 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1114 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1115 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1116 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1117 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1118 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1119 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1120 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1121 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1122 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1123 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1124 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1126 - updated controller.cc:
1127 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1128 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1129 selecting modes, as it should use the
1130 socket 0 sequence number
1131 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1132 - updated some .cvsignore files
1134 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1135 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1140 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1141 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1142 new PasswordChallenge struct
1143 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1144 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1145 password hashing logic.
1146 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1148 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1149 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1150 - major LDIF overhaul:
1151 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1153 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1154 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1155 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1157 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1159 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1160 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1162 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1163 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1164 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1165 - large update to btool manpage
1166 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1168 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1169 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1170 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1171 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1172 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1173 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1174 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1175 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1176 instead of hardcoding it.
1178 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1179 - minor tweaks to README
1180 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1181 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1182 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1183 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1184 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1185 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1186 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1188 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1189 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1190 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1191 - added iomanip to debug.h
1192 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1193 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1196 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1197 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1198 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1199 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1202 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1203 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1205 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1207 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1208 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1209 one base class: Barry::Error
1210 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1211 - added BadPassword exception
1217 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1218 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1219 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1220 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1221 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1222 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1223 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1225 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1226 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1227 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1228 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1229 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1230 due to pending reads
1232 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1233 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1235 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1236 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1237 - iostream output size fixes
1238 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1239 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1240 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1241 this is still experimental
1242 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1243 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1245 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1246 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1247 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1248 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1250 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1251 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1252 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1253 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1254 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1255 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1256 and record objects that use it.
1257 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1258 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1260 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1261 This returns the default rectype that should work
1262 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1263 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1264 records, this info would be good to know.
1265 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1266 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1267 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1268 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1269 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1270 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1271 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1272 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1273 - backup GUI updates:
1274 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1275 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1276 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1277 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1278 i.e. Backup or Restore
1279 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1280 it appears to be read-only on the device
1281 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1282 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1283 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1284 supported now by the library
1286 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1287 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1289 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1290 using the library should not care about endianness
1291 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1292 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1294 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1296 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1297 Version call instead
1298 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1300 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1301 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1302 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1304 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1305 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1306 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1308 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1309 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1310 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1311 through btool, for development
1312 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1313 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1314 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1315 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1316 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1317 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1318 exceptions need to be handled with
1319 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1320 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1321 - added pending gui/TODO items
1323 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1324 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1325 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1326 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1327 when we try to write to it)
1328 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1330 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1332 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1333 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1334 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1335 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1336 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1338 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1339 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1340 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1341 backups only at this point
1343 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1344 - added version API, returning version number and string
1345 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1346 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1347 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1348 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1350 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1351 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1353 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1354 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1355 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1356 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1358 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1360 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1362 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1363 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1365 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1367 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1368 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1370 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1371 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1372 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1373 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1374 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1375 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1377 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1378 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1379 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1381 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1382 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1383 a future Debian install
1384 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1385 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1386 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1387 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1389 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1390 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1391 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1392 - fixed more endian issues
1393 - minor update to TODO
1395 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/

1401 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1403 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1404 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1405 on old build system if wanted
1406 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1407 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1408 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1409 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1410 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1411 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1413 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1414 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1415 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1416 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1417 properly when installed standalone
1418 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1419 installed barry library
1420 - added commentary on version number system
1421 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1422 system supercedes it
1423 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1424 - added library version number to autoconf build
1425 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1426 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1444 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1446 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1447 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1449 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1450 uploading to device to fail
1452 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1454 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1455 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1456 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1457 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1458 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1459 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1461 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1462 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1463 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1464 exceptions leak into the C library code
1466 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1467 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1469 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1470 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1472 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1475 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1476 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1477 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1478 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1479 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1480 header of its own, in the case of email
1481 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1482 Record does not know the details of the packet
1483 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1484 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1485 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1486 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1487 the record format details, but does know the
1488 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1490 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1491 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1492 record formats being the same even with different
1493 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1494 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1495 See the header size of the email record after
1497 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1498 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1499 The Controller object does not know the format
1500 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1501 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1502 to talk to the device.
1503 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1505 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1507 - added sample hotplug scripts
1508 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1509 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1510 handle non-little-endian machines
1511 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1512 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1513 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1514 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1515 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1516 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1517 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1518 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1520 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1522 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1523 flags of individual blackberry device records
1524 - added endian macros throughout the code
1526 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1527 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1528 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1530 - removed slow sync functions for now
1532 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1533 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1534 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1535 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1536 the base classes for all exceptions
1537 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1538 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1540 - added to Contact record class:
1542 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1543 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1544 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1546 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1547 and upload it to a blackberry
1548 - updated src/.cvsignore
1550 - added parsing of service book fields:
1552 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1554 - old and new description
1556 - bes domain / domain
1557 - date change in legal.txt
1558 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1559 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1560 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1561 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1562 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1564 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1565 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1566 - added AUTHORS file
1567 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1568 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1569 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1571 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1572 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1574 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1586 of Controller template member usage
1588 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1590 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1591 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1594 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1595 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1596 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1616 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1617 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1618 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1619 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1620 throw exception in controller.cc
1621 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1622 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1623 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1624 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1625 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1626 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1627 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1628 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1643 - added boost::serialization to build
1644 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1645 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1646 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1647 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1648 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1650 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1659 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1660 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1663 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1664 optimize away protocol struct casts

1670 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1671 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1672 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1673 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1675 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1698 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1699 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1700 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1701 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1702 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1703 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1704 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1705 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1706 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1707 seem to need more time...)
1708 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1709 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1710 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1711 with Python, if used(?)
1712 - added Message class for Email records
1713 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1714 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1715 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1716 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name

1728 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1729 better suited to its general API purpose
1730 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1731 a public API function
1732 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1733 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1735 - added mode checks to Controller
1736 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1737 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1738 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1741 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1742 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1743 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1744 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1745 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1746 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1747 from the Command Table
1748 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1749 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1750 the Cassis spec more closely
1751 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1752 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1753 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1756 - added Doxyfile to the project
1758 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1759 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1760 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1762 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1763 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1764 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1765 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1766 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1767 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1768 less buffer than data copied
1769 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1770 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1771 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1772 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1774 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1775 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1777 - implemented socket::Close()
1778 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1779 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1780 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1782 - added .cvsignore files to project
1783 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1784 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1785 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1786 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1787 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1789 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1790 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1791 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1793 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1794 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1795 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1796 - regular debug output
1797 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1798 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1799 - raw data dump output
1800 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1801 numbers into english (limited success)
1802 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1803 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1804 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1805 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1806 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1807 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1808 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1809 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1810 for socket 0 operations.
1811 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1815 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1816 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1817 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1818 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1820 - syncberry tree started
