1 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/04/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/05/01
4 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
5 - bumped release number in barry.spec
6 2007/04/30
7 - opensync plugin:
8 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
9 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
10 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
11 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
12 xml data format...
13 - added development note to README
14 2007/04/29
15 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
16 build instructions
17 - opensync plugin:
18 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
19 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
20 2007/04/27
21 - opensync module:
22 - removed some unneeded trace logs
23 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
24 m_Data pointer
25 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
26 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
27 if empty
28 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
29 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
30 2007/04/26
31 - opensync module work:
32 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
33 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
34 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
35 a hard coded calendar record state table
36 - added lots of logging throughout
37 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
38 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
39 causing another sync on the next run
40 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
41 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
42 written to the Blackberry
43 - more opensync module work:
44 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
45 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
46 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
47 the environment classes
48 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
49 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
50 2007/04/20
51 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
52 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
53 a sample configuration
54 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
55 on success (opensync module)
56 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
57 - allowed comments in the config file
58 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
59 routines are not available from the plugin side
60 2007/04/19
61 - updated gui/TODO
62 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
63 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
64 only use idProduct, and updated man page
65 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
66 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
67 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
68 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
69 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
70 and the old search didn't always work
71 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
72 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
73 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
74 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
75 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
76 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
77 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
78 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
79 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
80 search at 0
81 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
82 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
83 the vevent20 data (experimental)
84 2007/04/04
85 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
86 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
87 2007/03/30
88 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
89 if found
90 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
91 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
92 of the project
93 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
94 2007/03/29
95 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
96 - updated AUTHORS
97 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
98 FullName, even if there was no last name)
99 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
100 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
101 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
102 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
103 this special case, without relying on string length.
104 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
105 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
106 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
107 2007/03/17
108 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
109 2007/03/16
110 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
111 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
112 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
113 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
114 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
115 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
116 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
117 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
118 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
119 in some cases
120 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
121 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
122 2007/03/08
123 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
124 udev rules for the Pearl
125 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
126 functionality
127 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
128 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
129 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
130 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
131 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
132 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
133 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
134 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
135 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
136 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
137 - added license file to each packageo
138 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
139 discussion
140 - updated AUTHORS
141 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
142 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
143 for the bug report
144 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
145 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
146 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
147 user.
148 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
149 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
150 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
151 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
152 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
153 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
154 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
155 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
156 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
157 as a guide
158 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
159 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
160 2007/03/02
161 - version bump in:
162 - configure.ac
163 - src/Makefile.am
164 - src/version.cc
165 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
166 - src/Doxyfile
167 - rpm/barry.spec
168 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
169 for it
170 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
171 device discovery code
172 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
173 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
174 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
175 than are really available... in this case, let's
176 just ignore the missing data and assume success
177 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
178 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
179 - ReleaseChecklist update
180 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
181 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
182 dependency
184 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
185 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
186 2007/02/28
187 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
188 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
189 - added initial release maintainer scripts
190 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
191 no databases selected in configuration
192 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
193 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
194 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
195 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
196 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
197 2007/02/23
198 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
199 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
200 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
201 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
202 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
203 -v now controls this as well
204 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
205 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
206 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
207 the beginning of USB conversations
208 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
209 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
210 its sequence number behaviour
211 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
212 socket 0 level command
213 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
214 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
215 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
216 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
217 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
218 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
219 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
220 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
221 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
222 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
223 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
224 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
225 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
226 of socket 0 packets
227 - updated controller.cc:
228 - uses new socket 0 implementation
229 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
230 selecting modes, as it should use the
231 socket 0 sequence number
232 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
233 - updated some .cvsignore files
234 - updated TODO
235 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
236 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
237 - ChallengeSeed()
238 - RemainingTries()
239 - SocketResponse()
240 - SocketSqeuence()
241 - moved Command() to base Packet class
242 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
243 new PasswordChallenge struct
244 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
245 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
246 password hashing logic.
247 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
248 2007/02/22
249 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
250 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
251 - major LDIF overhaul:
252 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
253 into its own
254 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
255 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
256 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
257 contact field names
258 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
259 if necessary
260 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
261 notes fields were missed in old version if not
262 encoded
263 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
264 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
265 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
266 - large update to btool manpage
267 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
268 2007/02/15
269 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
270 - removed commented code from translate.cc
271 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
272 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
273 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
274 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
275 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
276 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
277 instead of hardcoding it.
278 2007/02/10
279 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
280 - minor tweaks to README
281 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
282 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
283 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
284 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
285 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
286 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
287 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
288 2007/02/09
289 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
290 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
291 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
292 - added iomanip to debug.h
293 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
294 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
295 2007/02/04
296 - updated AUTHORS
297 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
298 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
299 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
300 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
301 from Ian Darwin
302 2007/02/03
303 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
304 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
305 - updated AUTHORS
306 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
307 2007/02/02
308 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
309 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
310 one base class: Barry::Error
311 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
312 - added BadPassword exception
313 2007/02/01
314 - version bump in:
315 - configure.ac
316 - src/Makefile.am
317 - src/version.cc
318 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
319 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
320 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
321 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
322 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
323 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
324 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
325 in the future.
326 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
327 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
328 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
329 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
330 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
331 due to pending reads
333 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
334 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
335 2007/01/26
336 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
337 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
338 - iostream output size fixes
339 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
340 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
341 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
342 this is still experimental
343 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
344 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
345 Debian stable
346 - uncommented the about box menu handler
347 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
348 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
349 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
350 2007/01/25
351 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
352 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
353 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
354 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
355 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
356 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
357 and record objects that use it.
358 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
359 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
360 32 bits
361 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
362 This returns the default rectype that should work
363 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
364 the device, but in the case where a database has no
365 records, this info would be good to know.
366 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
367 to use GetDefaultRecType()
368 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
369 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
370 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
371 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
372 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
373 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
374 - backup GUI updates:
375 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
376 and changed the logic so the restore continues
377 even if there was a protocol error on one database
378 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
379 i.e. Backup or Restore
380 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
381 it appears to be read-only on the device
382 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
383 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
384 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
385 supported now by the library
386 2007/01/21
387 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
388 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
389 - changes to patch:
390 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
391 using the library should not care about endianness
392 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
393 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
394 install
395 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
396 for the same reason
397 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
398 Version call instead
399 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
400 - updated AUTHORS
401 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
402 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
403 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
404 2007/01/20
405 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
406 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
407 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
408 some older devices
409 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
410 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
411 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
412 through btool, for development
413 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
414 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
415 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
416 - finished implementation of GUI restore
417 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
418 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
419 exceptions need to be handled with
420 Glib::add_exception_handler()
421 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
422 - added pending gui/TODO items
423 2007/01/19
424 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
425 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
426 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
427 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
428 when we try to write to it)
429 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
430 2007/01/18
431 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
432 2007/01/13
433 - updated copyright dates for the new year
434 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
435 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
436 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
437 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
438 - updated README
439 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
440 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
441 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
442 backups only at this point
443 2007/01/11
444 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
445 - added version API, returning version number and string
446 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
447 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
448 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
449 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
450 2007/01/05
451 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
452 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
453 in probe.h)
454 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
455 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
456 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
457 leaving the device in Desktop mode
458 2007/01/04
459 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
460 different rules
461 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
462 USB product ID 6
463 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
464 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
465 2006/12/29
466 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
468 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
469 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
470 2006/12/29
471 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
472 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
473 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
474 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
475 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
476 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
477 depend on.
478 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
479 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
480 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
481 package scripts
482 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
483 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
484 a future Debian install
485 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
486 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
487 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
488 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
489 2006/12/21
490 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
491 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
492 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
493 - fixed more endian issues
494 - minor update to TODO
495 2006/12/15
496 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
497 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
498 2006/12/08
499 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
500 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
501 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
502 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
503 2006/12/07
504 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
505 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
506 on old build system if wanted
507 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
508 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc

518 properly when installed standalone
519 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against

573 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
574 the bug report
575 2006/09/08
576 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
577 splitting the code into 3 groups:
578 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
579 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
580 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
581 header of its own, in the case of email
582 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
583 Record does not know the details of the packet
584 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
585 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
586 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
587 providing an API for it... packet does not know
588 the record format details, but does know the
589 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
590 packet format.
591 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
592 of operation formats and record formats, with the
593 record formats being the same even with different
594 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
595 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
596 See the header size of the email record after
597 refactoring.
598 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
599 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
600 The Controller object does not know the format
601 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
602 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
603 to talk to the device.
604 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
605 we come!
606 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
607 2006/09/01
608 - added sample hotplug scripts
609 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
610 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
611 handle non-little-endian machines
612 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
613 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
614 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
615 and cause a failure to reach the device...
616 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
617 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
618 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
619 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
620 engineered.
621 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
622 for smarter syncing
623 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
624 flags of individual blackberry device records
625 - added endian macros throughout the code
626 2006/07/13
627 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean

631 - removed slow sync functions for now
632 2006/07/07
633 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
634 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
635 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
636 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
637 the base classes for all exceptions
638 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
639 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
640 2006/06/22
641 - added to Contact record class:
642 - Clear()
643 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
644 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
645 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
646 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool

650 2006/06/16
651 - added parsing of service book fields:
652 - old and new name

654 - content ID (CID)
655 - old and new description
656 - DSID
657 - bes domain / domain
658 - date change in legal.txt
659 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
660 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
661 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
662 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
663 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
664 2006/06/09
665 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
666 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
667 - added AUTHORS file
668 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
669 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
670 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
671 2006/05/25

719 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
720 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
721 throw exception in controller.cc
722 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
723 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
724 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
725 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
726 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
727 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
728 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

737 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
738 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts

744 - added boost::serialization to build
745 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
746 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
747 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
748 a special 3 byte size packet is sent

765 optimize away protocol struct casts
766 see:
767 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

771 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
772 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
773 structs are completely hidden in the library...
774 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
776 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
777 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

798 2005/11/19
799 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
800 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
801 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
802 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
803 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
804 Observed maximum blank count: 1
805 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
806 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
807 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
808 seem to need more time...)
809 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
810 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
811 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
812 with Python, if used(?)
813 - added Message class for Email records
814 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
815 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
816 available, and parses it with a Parser object

832 a public API function
833 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
834 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
835 the command line
836 - added mode checks to Controller
837 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
838 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

844 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
845 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output

847 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
848 from the Command Table
849 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
850 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
851 the Cassis spec more closely
852 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
853 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
854 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
855 destructors
856 2005/11/17
857 - added Doxyfile to the project
858 - tuned Makefile
859 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
860 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
861 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
862 data transfers.
863 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
864 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
865 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
866 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
867 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
868 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
869 less buffer than data copied
870 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
871 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
872 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
873 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
874 data
875 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
876 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
877 saved
878 - implemented socket::Close()
879 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
880 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
881 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
882 2005/11/11
883 - added .cvsignore files to project
884 - added README notes to document the source architecture
885 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
886 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
887 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
888 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
889 -l = list only
890 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
891 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
892 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
893 results
894 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
895 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
896 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
897 - regular debug output
898 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
899 syslog someday, and never turned off)
900 - raw data dump output
901 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
902 numbers into english (limited success)
903 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
904 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
905 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
906 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
907 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
908 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
909 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
910 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
911 for socket 0 operations.
912 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
913 MAKE_PACKET()
914 COMMAND()
915 IS_COMMAND()
916 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
917 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
918 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
919 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
920 2005/10/20
921 - syncberry tree started
