1 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/02/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
6 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
7 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
8 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
9 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
10 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
11 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
12 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
13 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
15 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
16 - updated copyright statments for 2008
18 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
20 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
21 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
26 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
30 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
33 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
36 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
37 - added pause to maintainer release script
43 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
47 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
49 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
52 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
53 search by busname / devname
54 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
55 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
56 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
57 bus/device names, and updated the man page
58 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
59 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
60 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
61 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
62 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
63 spec file for opensuse
65 - added better error checking to breset
66 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
67 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
68 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
69 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
70 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
71 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
72 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
74 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
75 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
76 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
77 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
78 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
79 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
80 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
81 make applications look more capable, not less.
82 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
83 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
84 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
87 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
88 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
91 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
92 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
93 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
94 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
95 at the same time as usb_storage.
96 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
97 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
98 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
99 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
100 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
101 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
102 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
103 fail naturally on these devices.
104 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
106 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
107 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
109 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
110 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
112 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
114 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
115 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
116 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
117 that release package builds can be done faster
119 - opensync plugin fixes:
120 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
121 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
122 and keep track of the hierarchy when
123 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
124 - added support for searching for attributes only
125 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
126 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
128 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
129 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
130 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
131 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
132 ToBarry conversion results
133 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
135 - fixed typo in previous fix
137 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
138 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
139 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
144 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
148 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
149 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
151 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
152 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
153 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
154 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
156 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
157 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
159 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
160 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
161 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
162 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
163 without recompiling the kernel.
164 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
166 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
167 information in README files to html format, so that it
168 is commonly available on the web
169 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
170 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
172 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
173 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
176 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
177 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
178 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
179 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
180 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
181 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
182 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
183 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
184 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
185 explanatory document for various system requirements
186 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
188 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
189 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
190 for opensuse rpm builds
192 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
193 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
194 - fixed build target to i386
195 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
198 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
199 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
200 will be updated more frequently
202 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
203 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
204 configure scripts to support external build directories
205 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
206 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
207 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
208 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
209 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
212 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
213 parse the comma separated string into an array,
215 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
216 and will affect backward compatibility with
217 old serialization datafiles
218 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
219 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
221 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
222 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
224 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
225 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
226 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
227 - fixed in opensync plugin:
228 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
229 so added lower case conversion routine
230 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
231 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
232 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
233 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
235 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
236 - added status message to endpoint override
238 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
239 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
240 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
241 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
242 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
243 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
245 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
246 The description is now part of the probe results
247 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
248 a new attribute definition.
249 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
250 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
251 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
252 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
253 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
254 in order to better support SWIG and Python
256 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
257 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
258 settings automatically where possible
259 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
260 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
262 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
263 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
264 error.cc is now an empty shell
265 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
266 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
267 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
268 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
269 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
271 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
276 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
280 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
281 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
282 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
284 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
285 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
287 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
288 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
289 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
290 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
291 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
293 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
294 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
295 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
296 endian bug in the process)
297 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
298 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
299 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
300 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
301 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
302 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
303 - opensync-plugin/README update
304 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
305 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
306 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
308 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
310 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
313 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
314 for the broken-down name instead of N
315 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
316 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
317 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
318 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
319 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
320 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
321 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
322 registered two. Moving to single change commit
323 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
324 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
325 ease memory pressure in the library.
326 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
328 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
329 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
330 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
332 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
334 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
335 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
336 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
337 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
338 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
339 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
340 record into the device.... First/Last Name
341 fields are position sensitive, and the code
342 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
343 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
344 were not updated to handle the new field
345 table added for the postal address changes
348 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
349 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
350 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
351 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
352 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
353 UID strings, instead of just numbers
354 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
355 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
356 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
357 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
358 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
360 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
361 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
362 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
363 sync the wrong device and lose data.
364 Actions to take on new PIN:
365 - force slow_sync, or
367 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
368 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
369 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
370 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
372 - changed PIN error message number to hex
374 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
375 "Backup in progress..."
376 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
377 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
378 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
379 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
380 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
381 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
382 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
383 a new class called PostalAddress
384 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
385 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
386 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
387 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
389 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
391 - added vCard converter class
392 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
393 of empty attribute values and parameters,
394 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
395 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
396 an extra nth argument, in order to search
397 for multiple attributes with the same name...
398 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
399 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
400 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
403 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
404 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
405 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
406 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
410 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
411 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
412 new Barry ID would look like a new change
413 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
414 - added support for slow sync
415 - added clear() to idmap class
416 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
417 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
418 - added Notification time support
419 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
420 does not exist in a vformat data block
421 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
422 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
423 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
424 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
425 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
426 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
427 special cases in the future
429 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
431 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
432 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
433 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
435 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
436 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
437 library API that is not yet finished... will be
438 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
439 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
441 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
442 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
443 the goal is to be able to do:
444 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
446 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
447 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
448 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
449 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
451 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
452 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
454 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
456 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
457 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
459 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
460 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
461 in general use will not break on build
462 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
463 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
464 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
466 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
468 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
469 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
470 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
471 SetIds() is already there
472 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
473 and moved into record.h
474 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
476 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
477 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
478 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
479 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
481 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
483 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
484 - changes to PIN message patch:
485 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
486 - fixed tab alignment throughout
487 - removed typedef from Address struct
488 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
489 going to be a standalone type
490 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
491 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
492 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
493 backing on a field for other use
494 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
495 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
496 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
497 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
498 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
499 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
500 PIN Message so that we store both of these
503 - added item to gui/TODO
504 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
506 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
507 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
508 modified to split into the new separate files system
509 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
510 - reformatted the code to match coding style
512 - added copyright notice
513 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
514 - placed in Barry namespace
515 - added #ifdef header protectors
516 - added new files to Makefile.am
517 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
518 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
519 Brian Edginton's patch
520 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
521 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
524 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
525 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
529 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
530 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
531 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
532 linker errors with the new file layout
534 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
535 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
536 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
538 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
539 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
540 and added a command line option to turn
541 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
542 - command line option --help now also works
543 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
544 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
545 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
546 localizing the constants in one place
548 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
549 fields in Contact and Calendar records
550 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
551 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
552 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
553 Outlook from the comments.
554 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
555 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
556 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
557 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
558 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
563 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
564 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
567 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
568 based on the example plugin in the opensync
569 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
573 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
574 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
575 and then success afterward
576 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
577 - added item to gui's todo list
578 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
582 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
586 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
587 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
589 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
590 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
591 - updated maintainer/README
592 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
594 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
595 - bumped release number in barry.spec
598 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
599 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
600 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
601 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
603 - added development note to README
605 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
608 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
609 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
612 - removed some unneeded trace logs
613 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
615 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
616 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
618 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
619 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
621 - opensync module work:
622 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
623 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
624 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
625 a hard coded calendar record state table
626 - added lots of logging throughout
627 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
628 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
629 causing another sync on the next run
630 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
631 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
632 written to the Blackberry
633 - more opensync module work:
634 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
635 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
636 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
637 the environment classes
638 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
639 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
641 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
642 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
643 a sample configuration
644 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
645 on success (opensync module)
646 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
647 - allowed comments in the config file
648 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
649 routines are not available from the plugin side
652 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
653 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
654 only use idProduct, and updated man page
655 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
656 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
657 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
658 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
659 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
660 and the old search didn't always work
661 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
662 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
663 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
664 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
665 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
666 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
667 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
668 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
669 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
671 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
672 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
673 the vevent20 data (experimental)
675 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
676 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
678 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
680 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
681 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
683 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
685 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
687 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
688 FullName, even if there was no last name)
689 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
690 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
691 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
692 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
693 this special case, without relying on string length.
694 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
695 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
696 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
698 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
700 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
701 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
702 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
703 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
704 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
705 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
706 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
707 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
708 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
710 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
711 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
713 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
714 udev rules for the Pearl
715 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
717 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
718 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
719 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
720 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
721 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
722 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
723 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
724 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
725 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
726 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
727 - added license file to each package
728 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
731 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
732 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
734 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
735 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
736 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
738 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
739 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
740 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
741 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
742 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
743 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
744 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
745 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
746 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
748 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
749 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
755 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
758 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
760 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
761 device discovery code
762 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
763 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
764 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
765 than are really available... in this case, let's
766 just ignore the missing data and assume success
767 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
768 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
769 - ReleaseChecklist update
770 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
771 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
774 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
775 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
777 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
778 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
779 - added initial release maintainer scripts
780 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
781 no databases selected in configuration
782 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
783 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
784 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
785 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
786 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
788 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
789 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
790 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
791 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
792 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
793 -v now controls this as well
794 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
795 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
796 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
797 the beginning of USB conversations
798 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
799 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
800 its sequence number behaviour
801 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
802 socket 0 level command
803 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
804 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
805 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
806 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
807 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
808 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
809 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
810 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
811 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
812 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
813 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
814 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
815 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
817 - updated controller.cc:
818 - uses new socket 0 implementation
819 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
820 selecting modes, as it should use the
821 socket 0 sequence number
822 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
823 - updated some .cvsignore files
825 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
826 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
831 - moved Command() to base Packet class
832 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
833 new PasswordChallenge struct
834 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
835 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
836 password hashing logic.
837 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
839 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
840 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
841 - major LDIF overhaul:
842 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
844 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
845 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
846 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
848 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
850 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
851 notes fields were missed in old version if not
853 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
854 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
855 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
856 - large update to btool manpage
857 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
859 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
860 - removed commented code from translate.cc
861 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
862 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
863 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
864 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
865 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
866 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
867 instead of hardcoding it.
869 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
870 - minor tweaks to README
871 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
872 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
873 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
874 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
875 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
876 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
877 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
879 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
880 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
881 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
882 - added iomanip to debug.h
883 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
884 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
887 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
888 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
889 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
890 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
893 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
894 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
896 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
898 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
899 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
900 one base class: Barry::Error
901 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
902 - added BadPassword exception
908 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
909 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
910 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
911 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
912 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
913 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
914 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
916 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
917 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
918 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
919 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
920 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
923 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
924 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
926 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
927 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
928 - iostream output size fixes
929 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
930 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
931 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
932 this is still experimental
933 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
934 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
936 - uncommented the about box menu handler
937 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
938 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
939 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
941 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
942 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
943 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
944 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
945 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
946 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
947 and record objects that use it.
948 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
949 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
951 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
952 This returns the default rectype that should work
953 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
954 the device, but in the case where a database has no
955 records, this info would be good to know.
956 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
957 to use GetDefaultRecType()
958 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
959 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
960 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
961 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
962 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
963 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
964 - backup GUI updates:
965 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
966 and changed the logic so the restore continues
967 even if there was a protocol error on one database
968 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
969 i.e. Backup or Restore
970 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
971 it appears to be read-only on the device
972 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
973 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
974 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
975 supported now by the library
977 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
978 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
980 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
981 using the library should not care about endianness
982 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
983 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
985 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
987 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
989 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
991 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
992 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
993 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
995 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
996 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
997 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
999 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1000 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1001 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1002 through btool, for development
1003 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1004 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1005 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1006 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1007 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1008 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1009 exceptions need to be handled with
1010 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1011 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1012 - added pending gui/TODO items
1014 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1015 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1016 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1017 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1018 when we try to write to it)
1019 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1021 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1023 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1024 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1025 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1026 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1027 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1029 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1030 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1031 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1032 backups only at this point
1034 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1035 - added version API, returning version number and string
1036 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1037 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1038 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1039 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1041 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1042 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1044 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1045 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1046 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1047 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1049 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1051 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1053 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1054 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1056 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1058 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1059 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1061 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1062 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1063 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1064 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1065 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1066 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1068 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1069 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1070 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1072 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1073 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1074 a future Debian install
1075 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1076 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1077 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1078 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1080 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1081 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1082 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1083 - fixed more endian issues
1084 - minor update to TODO
1086 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1087 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1089 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1090 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1091 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1092 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1094 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1095 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1096 on old build system if wanted
1097 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1098 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1099 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1100 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1101 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1102 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1104 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1105 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1106 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1107 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1108 properly when installed standalone
1109 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1110 installed barry library
1111 - added commentary on version number system
1112 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1113 system supercedes it
1114 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1115 - added library version number to autoconf build
1116 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1117 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1118 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1119 option... may need to revisit this later
1120 - quick installation update in README
1122 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1124 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1125 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1126 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1127 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1128 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1129 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1131 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1132 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1134 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1135 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1137 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1138 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1140 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1141 uploading to device to fail
1143 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1145 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1146 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1147 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1148 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1149 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1150 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1152 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1153 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1154 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1155 exceptions leak into the C library code
1157 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1158 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1160 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1161 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1163 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1166 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1167 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1168 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1169 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1170 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1171 header of its own, in the case of email
1172 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1173 Record does not know the details of the packet
1174 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1175 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1176 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1177 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1178 the record format details, but does know the
1179 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1181 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1182 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1183 record formats being the same even with different
1184 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1185 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1186 See the header size of the email record after
1188 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1189 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1190 The Controller object does not know the format
1191 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1192 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1193 to talk to the device.
1194 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1196 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1198 - added sample hotplug scripts
1199 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1200 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1201 handle non-little-endian machines
1202 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1203 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1204 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1205 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1206 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1207 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1208 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1209 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse

1250 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1251 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1252 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1253 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1255 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1256 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1257 - added AUTHORS file
1258 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order

1310 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1311 throw exception in controller.cc
1312 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1313 contact data to the device, it may be important to write

1361 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1362 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1363 structs are completely hidden in the library...

1389 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1390 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1391 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1392 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1393 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1394 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1395 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1396 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1397 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1398 seem to need more time...)
1399 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1400 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1401 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1402 with Python, if used(?)
1403 - added Message class for Email records

1434 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1435 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1436 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the

1438 from the Command Table
1439 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1440 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1441 the Cassis spec more closely
1442 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing

1444 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1447 - added Doxyfile to the project
1449 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1450 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1451 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent

1459 less buffer than data copied
1460 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1461 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1462 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1463 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1465 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1466 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1468 - implemented socket::Close()
1469 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1480 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1481 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1482 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1484 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1485 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1486 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1487 - regular debug output
1488 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1489 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1490 - raw data dump output
1491 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1492 numbers into english (limited success)
1493 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1494 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1495 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1496 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1497 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1498 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1499 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1500 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1501 for socket 0 operations.
1502 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1506 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1507 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1508 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1509 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
