1 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/08/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
9 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
13 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
15 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
19 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
20 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
21 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
22 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
24 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
25 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
26 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
27 endian bug in the process)
28 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
29 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
30 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
31 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
32 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
33 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
34 - opensync-plugin/README update
35 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
36 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
37 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
39 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
41 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
44 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
45 for the broken-down name instead of N
46 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
47 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
48 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
49 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
50 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
51 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
52 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
53 registered two. Moving to single change commit
54 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
55 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
56 ease memory pressure in the library.
57 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
59 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
60 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
61 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
63 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
65 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
66 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
67 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
68 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
69 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
70 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
71 record into the device.... First/Last Name
72 fields are position sensitive, and the code
73 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
74 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
75 were not updated to handle the new field
76 table added for the postal address changes
79 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
80 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
81 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
82 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
83 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
84 UID strings, instead of just numbers
85 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
86 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
87 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
88 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
89 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
91 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
92 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
93 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
94 sync the wrong device and lose data.
95 Actions to take on new PIN:
98 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
99 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
100 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
101 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
103 - changed PIN error message number to hex
105 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
106 "Backup in progress..."
107 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
108 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
109 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
110 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
111 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
112 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
113 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
114 a new class called PostalAddress
115 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
116 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
117 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
118 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
120 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
122 - added vCard converter class
123 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
124 of empty attribute values and parameters,
125 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
126 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
127 an extra nth argument, in order to search
128 for multiple attributes with the same name...
129 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
130 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
131 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
134 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
135 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
136 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
137 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
141 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
142 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
143 new Barry ID would look like a new change
144 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
145 - added support for slow sync
146 - added clear() to idmap class
147 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
148 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
149 - added Notification time support
150 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
151 does not exist in a vformat data block
152 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
153 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
154 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
155 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
156 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
157 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
158 special cases in the future
160 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
162 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
163 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
164 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
166 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
167 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
168 library API that is not yet finished... will be
169 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
170 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
172 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
173 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
174 the goal is to be able to do:
175 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
177 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
178 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
179 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
180 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
182 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
183 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
185 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
187 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
188 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
190 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
191 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
192 in general use will not break on build
193 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
194 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
195 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
197 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
199 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
200 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
201 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
202 SetIds() is already there
203 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
204 and moved into record.h
205 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
207 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
208 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
209 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
210 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
212 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
214 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
215 - changes to PIN message patch:
216 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
217 - fixed tab alignment throughout
218 - removed typedef from Address struct
219 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
220 going to be a standalone type
221 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
222 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
223 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
224 backing on a field for other use
225 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
226 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
227 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
228 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
229 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
230 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
231 PIN Message so that we store both of these
234 - added item to gui/TODO
235 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
237 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
238 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
239 modified to split into the new separate files system
240 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
241 - reformatted the code to match coding style
243 - added copyright notice
244 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
245 - placed in Barry namespace
246 - added #ifdef header protectors
247 - added new files to Makefile.am
248 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
249 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
250 Brian Edginton's patch
251 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
252 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
255 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
256 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
260 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
261 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
262 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
263 linker errors with the new file layout
265 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
266 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
267 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
269 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
270 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
271 and added a command line option to turn
272 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
273 - command line option --help now also works
274 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
275 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
276 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
277 localizing the constants in one place
279 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
280 fields in Contact and Calendar records
281 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
282 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
283 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
284 Outlook from the comments.
285 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
286 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
287 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
288 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
289 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
294 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
295 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
298 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
299 based on the example plugin in the opensync
300 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
304 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
305 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
306 and then success afterward
307 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
308 - added item to gui's todo list
309 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
313 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
317 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
318 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
320 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

322 - updated maintainer/README
323 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
325 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
326 - bumped release number in barry.spec
329 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
330 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
331 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
332 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
334 - added development note to README
336 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
339 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
340 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
343 - removed some unneeded trace logs
344 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
346 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
347 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
349 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
350 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
352 - opensync module work:
353 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
354 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
355 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
356 a hard coded calendar record state table
357 - added lots of logging throughout
358 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
359 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
360 causing another sync on the next run
361 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
362 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
363 written to the Blackberry
364 - more opensync module work:
365 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
366 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
367 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
368 the environment classes
369 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
370 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
372 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
373 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
374 a sample configuration
375 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
376 on success (opensync module)
377 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
378 - allowed comments in the config file
379 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
380 routines are not available from the plugin side
383 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
384 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
385 only use idProduct, and updated man page
386 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
387 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
388 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
389 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
390 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
391 and the old search didn't always work
392 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
393 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
394 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
395 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
396 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
397 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
398 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
399 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
400 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
402 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
403 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
404 the vevent20 data (experimental)
406 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
407 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
409 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
411 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
412 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
414 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
416 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
418 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
419 FullName, even if there was no last name)
420 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
421 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
422 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
423 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
424 this special case, without relying on string length.
425 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
426 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
427 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
429 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
431 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
432 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
433 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
434 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
435 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
436 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
437 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
438 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
439 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
441 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
442 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
444 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
445 udev rules for the Pearl
446 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
448 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
449 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
450 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
451 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
452 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
453 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
454 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
455 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
456 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
457 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
458 - added license file to each package
459 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
462 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
463 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
465 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
466 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
467 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
469 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
470 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
471 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
472 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
473 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
474 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
475 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
476 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
477 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
479 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
480 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
486 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
489 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
491 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
492 device discovery code
493 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
494 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
495 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
496 than are really available... in this case, let's
497 just ignore the missing data and assume success
498 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
499 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
500 - ReleaseChecklist update
501 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
502 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
505 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
506 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
508 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
509 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
510 - added initial release maintainer scripts
511 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
512 no databases selected in configuration
513 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
514 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
515 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
516 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
517 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
519 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
520 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
521 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
522 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
523 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
524 -v now controls this as well
525 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
526 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
527 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
528 the beginning of USB conversations
529 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
530 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
531 its sequence number behaviour
532 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
533 socket 0 level command
534 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
535 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
536 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
537 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
538 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
539 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
540 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
541 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
542 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
543 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
544 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
545 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
546 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
548 - updated controller.cc:
549 - uses new socket 0 implementation
550 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
551 selecting modes, as it should use the
552 socket 0 sequence number
553 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
554 - updated some .cvsignore files
556 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
557 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
562 - moved Command() to base Packet class
563 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
564 new PasswordChallenge struct
565 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
566 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
567 password hashing logic.
568 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
570 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
571 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
572 - major LDIF overhaul:
573 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
575 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
576 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
577 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
579 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
581 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
582 notes fields were missed in old version if not
584 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
585 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
586 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
587 - large update to btool manpage
588 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
590 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
591 - removed commented code from translate.cc
592 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
593 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
594 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
595 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
596 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
597 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
598 instead of hardcoding it.
600 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
601 - minor tweaks to README
602 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
603 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
604 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
605 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
606 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
607 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
608 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
610 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
611 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
612 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
613 - added iomanip to debug.h
614 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
615 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
618 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
619 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
620 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
621 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
624 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
625 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
627 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
629 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
630 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
631 one base class: Barry::Error
632 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
633 - added BadPassword exception
639 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
640 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
641 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
642 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
643 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
644 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
645 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
647 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
648 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
649 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
650 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
651 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
654 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
657 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
658 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
659 - iostream output size fixes
660 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
661 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
662 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
663 this is still experimental
664 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
665 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
667 - uncommented the about box menu handler
668 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
669 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
670 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
672 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
673 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
674 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
675 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
676 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
677 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
678 and record objects that use it.
679 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
680 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
682 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
683 This returns the default rectype that should work
684 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
685 the device, but in the case where a database has no
686 records, this info would be good to know.
687 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
688 to use GetDefaultRecType()
689 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
690 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
691 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
692 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
693 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
694 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
695 - backup GUI updates:
696 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
697 and changed the logic so the restore continues
698 even if there was a protocol error on one database
699 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
700 i.e. Backup or Restore
701 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
702 it appears to be read-only on the device
703 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
704 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
705 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
706 supported now by the library
708 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
709 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
711 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
712 using the library should not care about endianness
713 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
714 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
716 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
718 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
720 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
722 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
723 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
724 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
726 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
727 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
728 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
730 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
731 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
732 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
733 through btool, for development
734 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
735 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
736 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
737 - finished implementation of GUI restore
738 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
739 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
740 exceptions need to be handled with
741 Glib::add_exception_handler()
742 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
743 - added pending gui/TODO items
745 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
746 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
747 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
748 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
749 when we try to write to it)
750 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
752 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
754 - updated copyright dates for the new year
755 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
756 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
757 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
758 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
760 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
761 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
762 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
763 backups only at this point
765 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
766 - added version API, returning version number and string
767 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
768 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
769 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
770 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
772 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
773 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
775 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
776 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
777 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
778 leaving the device in Desktop mode
780 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
782 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
784 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
785 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
787 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
789 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
790 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
792 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
793 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
794 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
795 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
796 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
797 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
799 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
800 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
801 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
803 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
804 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
805 a future Debian install
806 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
807 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
808 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
809 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
811 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
812 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
813 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
814 - fixed more endian issues
815 - minor update to TODO
817 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
818 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
820 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
821 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
822 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
823 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
825 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
826 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
827 on old build system if wanted
828 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
829 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
830 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
831 into their own tools/ subdirectory
832 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
833 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
835 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
836 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
837 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
838 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
839 properly when installed standalone
840 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
841 installed barry library
842 - added commentary on version number system

850 option... may need to revisit this later
851 - quick installation update in README
853 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
855 - fixed endian issues in time.h
856 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted

876 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
877 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
878 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
879 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
880 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
881 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
883 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
884 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
885 more use of the base exception to make sure no
886 exceptions leak into the C library code
888 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
889 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
891 - fixed casting error in opensync module
892 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
894 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
897 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
898 splitting the code into 3 groups:
899 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
900 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
901 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
902 header of its own, in the case of email
903 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
904 Record does not know the details of the packet
905 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
906 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
907 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
908 providing an API for it... packet does not know
909 the record format details, but does know the
910 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
912 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
913 of operation formats and record formats, with the
914 record formats being the same even with different
915 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
916 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
917 See the header size of the email record after
919 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
920 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
921 The Controller object does not know the format
922 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
923 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
924 to talk to the device.
925 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
927 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
929 - added sample hotplug scripts
930 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
931 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
932 handle non-little-endian machines
933 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
934 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
935 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
936 and cause a failure to reach the device...
937 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
938 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
939 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
940 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
942 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
944 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
945 flags of individual blackberry device records
946 - added endian macros throughout the code
948 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
949 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
950 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
952 - removed slow sync functions for now
954 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
955 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
956 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
957 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
958 the base classes for all exceptions
959 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
960 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

964 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
965 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
966 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
967 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
968 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
969 and upload it to a blackberry
970 - updated src/.cvsignore
972 - added parsing of service book fields:
974 - old and new unique ID (UID)
976 - old and new description
978 - bes domain / domain
979 - date change in legal.txt
980 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
981 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
982 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
983 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
984 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
986 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
987 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
989 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
990 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
991 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
993 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
994 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
996 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1000 to the Controller class
1001 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1002 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1003 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1004 support of the template Controller functions
1005 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1006 returning errors properly
1007 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1008 of Controller template member usage
1010 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1012 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1013 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1015 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1016 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1017 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1018 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1033 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1034 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1035 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1036 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1038 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1039 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1040 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1041 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1042 throw exception in controller.cc
1043 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1044 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1045 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1046 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1047 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1048 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1049 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1050 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1065 - added boost::serialization to build
1066 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1067 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1068 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1069 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1070 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1072 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1073 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1074 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1075 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1077 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
1078 - added builder.h, to support uploading
1079 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1080 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1081 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1082 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1085 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1086 optimize away protocol struct casts

1092 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1093 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1094 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1095 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1097 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1120 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1121 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1122 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1123 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1124 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1125 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1126 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1127 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1128 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1129 seem to need more time...)
1130 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1131 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1132 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1133 with Python, if used(?)
1134 - added Message class for Email records
1135 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1136 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1137 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1149 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1150 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1151 better suited to its general API purpose
1152 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1153 a public API function
1154 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1155 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1157 - added mode checks to Controller
1158 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1159 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1160 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1163 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1164 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1165 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1166 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1167 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1168 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1169 from the Command Table
1170 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1171 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1172 the Cassis spec more closely
1173 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1174 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1175 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1178 - added Doxyfile to the project
1180 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1181 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1182 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1184 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1185 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1186 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1187 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1188 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1189 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1190 less buffer than data copied
1191 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1192 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1193 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1194 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1196 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1197 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1199 - implemented socket::Close()
1200 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1201 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1202 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1204 - added .cvsignore files to project
1205 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1206 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1207 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1208 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1209 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1211 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1212 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1213 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1215 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1216 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1217 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1218 - regular debug output
1219 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1220 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1221 - raw data dump output
1222 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1223 numbers into english (limited success)
1224 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1225 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1226 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1227 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1228 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1229 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1230 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1231 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1232 for socket 0 operations.
1233 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1237 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1238 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1239 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1240 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1242 - syncberry tree started
