1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
5 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
7 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
8 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
10 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
13 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
14 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
15 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
16 I'm looking at you...)
17 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
18 if no command line arguments are specified
19 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
20 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
22 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
23 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
24 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
25 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
26 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
27 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
28 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
29 like a null terminated string... also added more
30 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
31 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
32 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
33 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
34 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
35 on database records, for testing
36 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
37 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
38 which completes builder support
39 Checksums from the following commands now match:
40 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
41 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
42 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
43 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
44 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
46 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
48 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
51 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
52 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
53 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
56 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
59 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
60 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.
63 - added thread-safe logging mechanism
64 - added preliminary IP modem support... requires a recent
65 device... serial mode is not yet supported
68 - changed Barry::Init() so programmer can choose where
69 debug and exception information goes, instead of
74 - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
76 - also added ProbeResult constructor
77 - merged changes from visibility branch:
78 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
79 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
80 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
81 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such
83 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

93 - changed router to use SocketId typedef, for clarity
95 - fixed const char warnings from newer gcc compilers
96 - controller object now saves a copy of the probe result
97 and provides an API to retrieve it
98 - added sanity checks to m_serial.cc
99 - fixed probe behaviour so that a USB probe on an endpoint
100 that doesn't respond won't halt everything
101 - refactored some of the probe code, and added checks for
103 - added Probe::DumpAll()
104 - added Open() call to pppob.cc (not yet complete)

121 - fixed incorrect use of gettimeofday()
122 - fixed race condition where Controller could destroy
123 the Usb::Device object before the SocketRoutingQueue
125 - fixed segfault in SocketZero::RawSend() when a router
127 - fixed Open() bugs in btool... Open() must be outside of loops
128 - btool uses the router thread now, for testing
129 - partially implemented m_serial.{h,cc}... needs testing
130 - added automatic buffer allocation to SocketRoutingQueue
132 - made AllocateBuffers() a little smarter, so it was not
134 - added a context data pointer to the SocketRoutingQueue
135 RegisterInterest callback
136 - added RegisterInterest functionality to Socket class
137 - added exceptions on router read errors in socketzero

185 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
186 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
188 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
189 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
191 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
192 to avoid the CVS directories
193 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
194 diff.gz and dsc files
195 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
196 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
199 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
200 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
201 real opensync libraries
203 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
204 building RPM's from CVS
205 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
206 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
207 on ./configure command line
209 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
210 so that the database name is stored as the first line
212 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
214 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
215 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
217 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
218 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
220 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
221 Paul Dugas for the tip
223 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
224 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
225 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
226 - updated AUTHORS file
228 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
229 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
230 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
231 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
232 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
233 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
234 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
235 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
237 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
238 - updated copyright statments for 2008
240 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
242 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
243 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
248 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
252 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
255 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
256 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
258 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
259 - added pause to maintainer release script
265 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
269 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
271 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
272 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
274 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
275 search by busname / devname
276 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
277 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
278 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
279 bus/device names, and updated the man page
280 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
281 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
282 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
283 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
284 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
285 spec file for opensuse
287 - added better error checking to breset
288 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
289 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
290 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
291 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
292 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
293 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
294 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
296 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
297 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
298 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
299 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
300 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
301 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
302 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
303 make applications look more capable, not less.
304 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
305 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
306 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
309 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
310 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
313 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
314 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
315 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
316 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
317 at the same time as usb_storage.
318 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
319 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
320 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
321 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
322 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
323 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
324 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
325 fail naturally on these devices.
326 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
328 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
329 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
331 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
332 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
334 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
336 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
337 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
338 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
339 that release package builds can be done faster
341 - opensync plugin fixes:
342 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
343 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
344 and keep track of the hierarchy when
345 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
346 - added support for searching for attributes only
347 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
348 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
350 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
351 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
352 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
353 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
354 ToBarry conversion results
355 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
357 - fixed typo in previous fix
359 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
360 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
361 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
366 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
370 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
371 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
373 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
374 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
375 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
376 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
378 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
379 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
381 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
382 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
383 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
384 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
385 without recompiling the kernel.
386 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
388 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
389 information in README files to html format, so that it
390 is commonly available on the web
391 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
392 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
394 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
395 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
398 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
399 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
400 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
401 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
402 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
403 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
404 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
405 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
406 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
407 explanatory document for various system requirements
408 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
410 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
411 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
412 for opensuse rpm builds
414 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
415 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
416 - fixed build target to i386
417 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
420 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
421 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
422 will be updated more frequently
424 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
425 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
426 configure scripts to support external build directories
427 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
428 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
429 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
430 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
431 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
434 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
435 parse the comma separated string into an array,
437 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
438 and will affect backward compatibility with
439 old serialization datafiles
440 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
441 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
443 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
444 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
446 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
447 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
448 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
449 - fixed in opensync plugin:
450 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
451 so added lower case conversion routine
452 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
453 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
454 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
455 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
457 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
458 - added status message to endpoint override
460 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
461 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
462 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
463 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
464 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
465 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
467 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
468 The description is now part of the probe results
469 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
470 a new attribute definition.
471 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
472 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
473 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
474 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
475 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
476 in order to better support SWIG and Python
478 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
479 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
480 settings automatically where possible
481 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
482 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
484 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
485 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
486 error.cc is now an empty shell
487 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
488 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
489 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
490 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
491 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
493 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
498 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
502 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
503 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
504 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
506 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
507 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
509 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
510 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
511 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
512 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
513 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
515 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
516 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
517 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
518 endian bug in the process)
519 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
520 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
521 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
522 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
523 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
524 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
525 - opensync-plugin/README update
526 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
527 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
528 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
530 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
532 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
535 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
536 for the broken-down name instead of N
537 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
538 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
539 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
540 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
541 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
542 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
543 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
544 registered two. Moving to single change commit
545 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
546 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
547 ease memory pressure in the library.
548 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
550 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
551 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
552 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
554 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
556 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
557 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
558 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
559 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
560 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
561 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
562 record into the device.... First/Last Name
563 fields are position sensitive, and the code
564 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
565 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
566 were not updated to handle the new field
567 table added for the postal address changes
570 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
571 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
572 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
573 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
574 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
575 UID strings, instead of just numbers
576 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
577 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
578 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
579 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
580 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
582 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
583 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
584 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
585 sync the wrong device and lose data.
586 Actions to take on new PIN:
587 - force slow_sync, or
589 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
590 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
591 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
592 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
594 - changed PIN error message number to hex
596 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
597 "Backup in progress..."
598 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
599 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
600 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
601 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
602 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
603 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
604 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
605 a new class called PostalAddress
606 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
607 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
608 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
609 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
611 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
613 - added vCard converter class
614 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
615 of empty attribute values and parameters,
616 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
617 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
618 an extra nth argument, in order to search
619 for multiple attributes with the same name...
620 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
621 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
622 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
625 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
626 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
627 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
628 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
632 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
633 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
634 new Barry ID would look like a new change
635 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
636 - added support for slow sync
637 - added clear() to idmap class
638 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
639 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
640 - added Notification time support
641 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
642 does not exist in a vformat data block
643 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
644 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
645 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
646 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
647 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
648 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
649 special cases in the future
651 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
653 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
654 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
655 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
657 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
658 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
659 library API that is not yet finished... will be
660 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
661 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
663 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
664 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
665 the goal is to be able to do:
666 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
668 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
669 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
670 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
671 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
673 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
674 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
676 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
678 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
679 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
681 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
682 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
683 in general use will not break on build
684 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
685 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
686 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
688 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
690 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
691 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
692 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
693 SetIds() is already there
694 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
695 and moved into record.h
696 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
698 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
699 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
700 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
701 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
703 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
705 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
706 - changes to PIN message patch:
707 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
708 - fixed tab alignment throughout
709 - removed typedef from Address struct
710 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
711 going to be a standalone type
712 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
713 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
714 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
715 backing on a field for other use
716 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
717 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
718 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
719 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
720 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
721 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
722 PIN Message so that we store both of these
725 - added item to gui/TODO
726 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
728 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme

734 - added copyright notice
735 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
736 - placed in Barry namespace
737 - added #ifdef header protectors
738 - added new files to Makefile.am
739 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
740 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
741 Brian Edginton's patch
742 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
743 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
746 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
747 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
751 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
752 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
753 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
754 linker errors with the new file layout
756 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
757 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
758 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
760 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
761 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
762 and added a command line option to turn
763 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
764 - command line option --help now also works
765 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
766 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
767 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
768 localizing the constants in one place
770 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
771 fields in Contact and Calendar records
772 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
773 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
774 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
775 Outlook from the comments.
776 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
777 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
778 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
779 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
780 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
785 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
786 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
789 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
790 based on the example plugin in the opensync
791 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
795 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
796 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
797 and then success afterward
798 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
799 - added item to gui's todo list
800 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
804 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)

817 - bumped release number in barry.spec
820 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
821 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
822 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
823 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
825 - added development note to README
827 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
830 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
831 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
834 - removed some unneeded trace logs
835 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
837 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
838 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
840 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
841 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
843 - opensync module work:
844 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
845 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
846 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
847 a hard coded calendar record state table
848 - added lots of logging throughout
849 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
850 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
851 causing another sync on the next run
852 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
853 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
854 written to the Blackberry
855 - more opensync module work:
856 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
857 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
858 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
859 the environment classes
860 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
861 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
863 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
864 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
865 a sample configuration
866 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
867 on success (opensync module)
868 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
869 - allowed comments in the config file
870 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
871 routines are not available from the plugin side
874 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
875 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
876 only use idProduct, and updated man page
877 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
878 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
879 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
880 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
881 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
882 and the old search didn't always work
883 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
884 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
885 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
886 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
887 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
888 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
889 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
890 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
891 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
893 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
894 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
895 the vevent20 data (experimental)
897 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
898 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
900 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
902 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
903 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
905 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
907 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
909 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
910 FullName, even if there was no last name)
911 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
912 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
913 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
914 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
915 this special case, without relying on string length.
916 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
917 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
918 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
920 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
922 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
923 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
924 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
925 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
926 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
927 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
928 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
929 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
930 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
932 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
933 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
935 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
936 udev rules for the Pearl
937 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
939 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
940 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
941 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
942 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
943 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
944 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
945 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
946 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
947 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
948 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
949 - added license file to each package
950 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
953 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
954 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
956 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
957 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
958 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
960 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
961 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
962 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
963 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
964 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
965 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
966 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
967 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
968 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
970 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
971 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
977 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
980 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
982 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
983 device discovery code
984 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
985 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
986 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
987 than are really available... in this case, let's
988 just ignore the missing data and assume success
989 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
990 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
991 - ReleaseChecklist update
992 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
993 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
996 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
997 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
999 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1000 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1001 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1002 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1003 no databases selected in configuration
1004 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1005 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1006 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1007 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1008 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1010 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1011 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1012 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1013 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1014 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1015 -v now controls this as well
1016 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1017 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1018 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1019 the beginning of USB conversations
1020 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1021 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1022 its sequence number behaviour
1023 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1024 socket 0 level command
1025 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1026 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1027 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1028 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1029 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1030 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1031 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1032 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1033 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1034 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1035 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1036 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1037 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1039 - updated controller.cc:
1040 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1041 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1042 selecting modes, as it should use the
1043 socket 0 sequence number
1044 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1045 - updated some .cvsignore files
1047 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1048 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1053 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1054 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1055 new PasswordChallenge struct
1056 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1057 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1058 password hashing logic.
1059 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1061 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1062 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1063 - major LDIF overhaul:
1064 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1066 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1067 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1068 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1070 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1072 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1073 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1075 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1076 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1077 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1078 - large update to btool manpage
1079 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1081 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1082 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1083 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1084 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1085 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1086 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1087 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1088 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1089 instead of hardcoding it.
1091 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1092 - minor tweaks to README
1093 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1094 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1095 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1096 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1097 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1098 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1099 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1101 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1102 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1103 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1104 - added iomanip to debug.h
1105 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1106 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1109 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1110 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1111 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1112 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1115 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1116 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1118 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1120 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1121 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1122 one base class: Barry::Error
1123 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1124 - added BadPassword exception
1130 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1131 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1132 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1133 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1134 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1135 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1136 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1138 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1139 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1140 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1141 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1142 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1143 due to pending reads
1145 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1146 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1148 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1149 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1150 - iostream output size fixes
1151 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1152 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1153 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1154 this is still experimental
1155 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1156 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1158 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1159 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1160 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1161 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1163 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1164 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1165 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1166 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1167 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1168 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1169 and record objects that use it.
1170 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1171 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1173 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1174 This returns the default rectype that should work
1175 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1176 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1177 records, this info would be good to know.
1178 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1179 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1180 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1181 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1182 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1183 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1184 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1185 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1186 - backup GUI updates:
1187 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1188 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1189 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1190 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1191 i.e. Backup or Restore
1192 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1193 it appears to be read-only on the device
1194 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1195 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1196 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1197 supported now by the library
1199 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1200 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1202 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1203 using the library should not care about endianness
1204 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1205 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1207 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1209 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1210 Version call instead
1211 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1213 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1214 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1215 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1217 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1218 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1219 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1221 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1222 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1223 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1224 through btool, for development
1225 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1226 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1227 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1228 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1229 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1230 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1231 exceptions need to be handled with
1232 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1233 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1234 - added pending gui/TODO items
1236 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1237 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy

1264 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1266 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1267 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1268 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1269 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1271 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1273 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1275 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1276 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1278 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1280 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1281 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1283 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1284 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1285 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1286 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1287 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1288 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1290 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices

1300 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1302 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1303 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1304 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1323 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1324 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1326 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1327 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1328 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1329 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1330 properly when installed standalone
1331 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1332 installed barry library
1333 - added commentary on version number system

1371 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1372 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1374 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1375 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1376 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1377 exceptions leak into the C library code
1379 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1382 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1383 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1385 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1388 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1389 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1390 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1391 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1392 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1393 header of its own, in the case of email
1394 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1395 Record does not know the details of the packet
1396 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1397 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1398 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1399 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1400 the record format details, but does know the
1401 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1403 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1404 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1405 record formats being the same even with different
1406 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1407 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1408 See the header size of the email record after
1410 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1411 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1412 The Controller object does not know the format
1413 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1414 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1415 to talk to the device.
1416 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1418 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1420 - added sample hotplug scripts
1421 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1422 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1423 handle non-little-endian machines
1424 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1425 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1426 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1427 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1428 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1429 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1430 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1431 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1433 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1435 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1436 flags of individual blackberry device records

1443 - removed slow sync functions for now
1445 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1446 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1447 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1448 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1449 the base classes for all exceptions
1450 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1451 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1453 - added to Contact record class:
1455 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1456 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1457 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1465 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1467 - old and new description
1469 - bes domain / domain
1470 - date change in legal.txt
1471 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1472 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1473 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1474 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1475 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1477 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1478 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1479 - added AUTHORS file
1480 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1481 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1482 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1530 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1531 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1532 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1533 throw exception in controller.cc
1534 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1535 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1536 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1537 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1538 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1539 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1540 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1557 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1558 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1559 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1560 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1561 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1563 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1583 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1584 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1585 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1586 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1611 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1612 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1613 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1614 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1615 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1616 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1617 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1618 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1619 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1620 seem to need more time...)
1621 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1622 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1623 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1624 with Python, if used(?)
1625 - added Message class for Email records
1626 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1627 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1656 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1657 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1658 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1659 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1660 from the Command Table
1661 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1662 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1663 the Cassis spec more closely
1664 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1665 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1666 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1669 - added Doxyfile to the project
1671 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1672 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1673 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1675 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1676 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1677 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1678 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1680 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1681 less buffer than data copied
1682 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1683 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1684 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1685 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1687 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1688 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1690 - implemented socket::Close()
1691 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1699 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1700 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1702 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1703 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1704 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1706 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1707 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1708 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1709 - regular debug output
1710 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1711 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1712 - raw data dump output
1713 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1714 numbers into english (limited success)
1715 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1716 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1717 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1718 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1719 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1720 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1721 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1722 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1723 for socket 0 operations.
1724 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1728 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1729 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1730 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1731 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
