1 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
5 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
6 real opensync libraries
8 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
9 building RPM's from CVS
10 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
11 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
12 on ./configure command line
14 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
15 so that the database name is stored as the first line
17 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
19 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
20 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
22 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
23 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
25 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
26 Paul Dugas for the tip
28 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
29 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
31 - updated AUTHORS file
33 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
34 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
35 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
36 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
37 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
38 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
39 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
40 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
42 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
43 - updated copyright statments for 2008
45 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
47 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
48 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
53 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
57 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
60 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
61 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
63 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
64 - added pause to maintainer release script
70 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
74 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
76 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
77 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
79 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
80 search by busname / devname
81 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
82 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
83 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
84 bus/device names, and updated the man page
85 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
86 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
87 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
88 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
89 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
90 spec file for opensuse
92 - added better error checking to breset
93 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
94 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
95 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
96 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
97 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
98 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
99 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
101 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
102 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
103 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
104 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
105 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
106 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
107 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
108 make applications look more capable, not less.
109 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
110 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
111 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
114 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
115 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
118 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
119 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
120 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
121 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
122 at the same time as usb_storage.
123 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
124 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
125 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
126 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
127 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
128 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
129 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
130 fail naturally on these devices.
131 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
133 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
134 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
136 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
137 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
139 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
141 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
142 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
143 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
144 that release package builds can be done faster
146 - opensync plugin fixes:
147 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
148 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
149 and keep track of the hierarchy when
150 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
151 - added support for searching for attributes only
152 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
153 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
155 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
156 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
157 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
158 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
159 ToBarry conversion results
160 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
162 - fixed typo in previous fix
164 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
165 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
166 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
171 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
175 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
176 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
178 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
179 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
180 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
181 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
183 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
184 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
186 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
187 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
188 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
189 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
190 without recompiling the kernel.
191 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
193 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
194 information in README files to html format, so that it
195 is commonly available on the web
196 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
197 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
199 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
200 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
203 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
204 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
205 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
206 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
207 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
208 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
209 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
210 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
211 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
212 explanatory document for various system requirements
213 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
215 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
216 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
217 for opensuse rpm builds
219 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
220 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
221 - fixed build target to i386
222 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
225 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
226 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
227 will be updated more frequently
229 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
230 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
231 configure scripts to support external build directories
232 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
233 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
234 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
235 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
236 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
239 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
240 parse the comma separated string into an array,
242 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
243 and will affect backward compatibility with
244 old serialization datafiles
245 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
246 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
248 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
249 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
251 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
252 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
253 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
254 - fixed in opensync plugin:
255 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
256 so added lower case conversion routine
257 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
258 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
259 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
260 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
262 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
263 - added status message to endpoint override
265 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
266 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
267 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
268 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
269 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
270 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
272 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
273 The description is now part of the probe results
274 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
275 a new attribute definition.
276 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
277 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
278 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
279 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
280 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
281 in order to better support SWIG and Python
283 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
284 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
285 settings automatically where possible
286 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
287 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
289 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
290 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
291 error.cc is now an empty shell
292 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
293 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
294 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
295 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
296 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
298 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
303 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
307 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
308 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
309 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
311 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
312 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
314 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
315 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
316 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
317 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
318 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
320 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
321 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
322 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
323 endian bug in the process)
324 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
325 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
326 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
327 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
328 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
329 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
330 - opensync-plugin/README update
331 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
332 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
333 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
335 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
337 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
340 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
341 for the broken-down name instead of N
342 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
343 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
344 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
345 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
346 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
347 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
348 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
349 registered two. Moving to single change commit
350 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
351 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
352 ease memory pressure in the library.
353 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
355 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
356 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
357 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
359 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
361 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
362 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
363 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
364 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
365 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
366 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
367 record into the device.... First/Last Name
368 fields are position sensitive, and the code
369 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
370 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
371 were not updated to handle the new field
372 table added for the postal address changes
375 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
376 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
377 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
378 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
379 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
380 UID strings, instead of just numbers
381 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
382 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
383 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
384 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
385 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
387 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
388 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
389 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
390 sync the wrong device and lose data.
391 Actions to take on new PIN:
392 - force slow_sync, or
394 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
395 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
396 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
397 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
399 - changed PIN error message number to hex
401 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
402 "Backup in progress..."
403 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
404 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
405 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
406 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
407 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
408 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
409 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
410 a new class called PostalAddress
411 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
412 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
413 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
414 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
416 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
418 - added vCard converter class
419 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
420 of empty attribute values and parameters,
421 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
422 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
423 an extra nth argument, in order to search
424 for multiple attributes with the same name...
425 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
426 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
427 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
430 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
431 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
432 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
433 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
437 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
438 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
439 new Barry ID would look like a new change
440 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
441 - added support for slow sync
442 - added clear() to idmap class
443 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
444 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
445 - added Notification time support
446 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
447 does not exist in a vformat data block
448 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
449 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
450 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
451 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
452 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
453 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
454 special cases in the future
456 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
458 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
459 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
460 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
462 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
463 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
464 library API that is not yet finished... will be
465 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
466 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
468 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
469 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
470 the goal is to be able to do:
471 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
473 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
474 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
475 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
476 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
478 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
479 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
481 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
483 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
484 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
486 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
487 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
488 in general use will not break on build
489 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
490 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
491 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
493 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
495 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
496 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
497 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
498 SetIds() is already there
499 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
500 and moved into record.h
501 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
503 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
504 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
505 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
506 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
508 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
510 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
511 - changes to PIN message patch:
512 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
513 - fixed tab alignment throughout
514 - removed typedef from Address struct
515 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
516 going to be a standalone type
517 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
518 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
519 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
520 backing on a field for other use
521 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
522 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
523 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
524 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
525 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
526 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
527 PIN Message so that we store both of these
530 - added item to gui/TODO
531 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
533 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
534 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
535 modified to split into the new separate files system
536 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
537 - reformatted the code to match coding style
539 - added copyright notice
540 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
541 - placed in Barry namespace
542 - added #ifdef header protectors
543 - added new files to Makefile.am
544 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
545 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
546 Brian Edginton's patch
547 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
548 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
551 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
552 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
556 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
557 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
558 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
559 linker errors with the new file layout
561 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
562 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
563 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
565 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
566 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
567 and added a command line option to turn
568 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
569 - command line option --help now also works
570 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
571 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
572 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
573 localizing the constants in one place
575 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
576 fields in Contact and Calendar records
577 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
578 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
579 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
580 Outlook from the comments.
581 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
582 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
583 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
584 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
585 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
590 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
591 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
594 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
595 based on the example plugin in the opensync
596 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
600 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
601 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
602 and then success afterward
603 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
604 - added item to gui's todo list
605 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
609 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
613 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
614 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

622 - bumped release number in barry.spec
625 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
626 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
627 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
628 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
630 - added development note to README
632 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
635 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
636 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
639 - removed some unneeded trace logs
640 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
642 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
643 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
645 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
646 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
648 - opensync module work:
649 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
650 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
651 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
652 a hard coded calendar record state table
653 - added lots of logging throughout
654 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
655 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
656 causing another sync on the next run
657 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
658 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
659 written to the Blackberry
660 - more opensync module work:
661 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
662 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
663 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
664 the environment classes
665 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
666 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
668 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
669 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
670 a sample configuration
671 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
672 on success (opensync module)
673 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
674 - allowed comments in the config file
675 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
676 routines are not available from the plugin side
679 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
680 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
681 only use idProduct, and updated man page
682 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
683 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
684 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
685 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
686 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
687 and the old search didn't always work
688 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
689 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
690 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
691 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
692 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
693 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
694 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
695 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
696 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
698 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
699 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
700 the vevent20 data (experimental)
702 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
703 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
705 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
707 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
708 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
710 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
712 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
714 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
715 FullName, even if there was no last name)
716 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
717 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
718 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
719 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
720 this special case, without relying on string length.
721 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
722 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
723 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
725 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
727 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
728 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
729 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
730 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
731 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
732 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
733 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
734 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
735 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
737 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
738 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
740 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
741 udev rules for the Pearl
742 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
744 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
745 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
746 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
747 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
748 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
749 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
750 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
751 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
752 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
753 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
754 - added license file to each package
755 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
758 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
759 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
761 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
762 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
763 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
765 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
766 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
767 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
768 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
769 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
770 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
771 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
772 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
773 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
775 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
776 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
782 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
785 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
787 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
788 device discovery code
789 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
790 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
791 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
792 than are really available... in this case, let's
793 just ignore the missing data and assume success
794 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
795 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
796 - ReleaseChecklist update
797 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
798 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
801 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
802 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
804 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
805 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
806 - added initial release maintainer scripts
807 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
808 no databases selected in configuration
809 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
810 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
811 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
812 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
813 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
815 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
816 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
817 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
818 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
819 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
820 -v now controls this as well
821 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
822 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
823 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
824 the beginning of USB conversations
825 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
826 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
827 its sequence number behaviour
828 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
829 socket 0 level command
830 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
831 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
832 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
833 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
834 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
835 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
836 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
837 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
838 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
839 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
840 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
841 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
842 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
844 - updated controller.cc:
845 - uses new socket 0 implementation
846 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
847 selecting modes, as it should use the
848 socket 0 sequence number
849 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
850 - updated some .cvsignore files
852 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
853 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
858 - moved Command() to base Packet class
859 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
860 new PasswordChallenge struct
861 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
862 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
863 password hashing logic.
864 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
866 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
867 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
868 - major LDIF overhaul:
869 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
871 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
872 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
873 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
875 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
877 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
878 notes fields were missed in old version if not
880 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
881 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
882 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
883 - large update to btool manpage
884 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
886 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
887 - removed commented code from translate.cc
888 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
889 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
890 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
891 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
892 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
893 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
894 instead of hardcoding it.
896 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
897 - minor tweaks to README
898 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
899 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
900 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
901 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
902 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
903 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
904 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
906 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
907 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
908 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
909 - added iomanip to debug.h
910 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
911 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
914 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
915 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
916 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
917 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
920 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
921 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
923 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
925 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
926 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
927 one base class: Barry::Error
928 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
929 - added BadPassword exception
935 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
936 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
937 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
938 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
939 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
940 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
941 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
943 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
944 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
945 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
946 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
947 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
950 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
951 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
953 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
954 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
955 - iostream output size fixes
956 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
957 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
958 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
959 this is still experimental
960 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
961 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
963 - uncommented the about box menu handler
964 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
965 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
966 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
968 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
969 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
970 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
971 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
972 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
973 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
974 and record objects that use it.
975 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
976 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
978 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
979 This returns the default rectype that should work
980 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
981 the device, but in the case where a database has no
982 records, this info would be good to know.
983 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
984 to use GetDefaultRecType()
985 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
986 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
987 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
988 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
989 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
990 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
991 - backup GUI updates:
992 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
993 and changed the logic so the restore continues
994 even if there was a protocol error on one database
995 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
996 i.e. Backup or Restore
997 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
998 it appears to be read-only on the device
999 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1000 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1001 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1002 supported now by the library
1004 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1005 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1007 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1008 using the library should not care about endianness
1009 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1010 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1012 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1014 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1015 Version call instead
1016 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1018 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1019 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1020 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1022 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1023 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1024 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1026 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1027 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1028 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1029 through btool, for development
1030 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1031 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1032 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1033 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1034 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1035 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1036 exceptions need to be handled with
1037 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1038 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1039 - added pending gui/TODO items
1041 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1042 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1043 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1044 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1045 when we try to write to it)
1046 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1048 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1050 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1051 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1052 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1053 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1054 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1056 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1057 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1058 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1059 backups only at this point
1061 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1062 - added version API, returning version number and string
1063 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1064 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1065 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1066 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1068 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1069 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1071 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1072 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1073 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1074 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1076 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1078 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1080 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1081 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1083 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1085 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1086 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1088 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1089 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1090 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1091 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1092 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1093 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1095 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1096 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1097 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1099 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1100 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1101 a future Debian install
1102 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1103 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1104 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1105 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1107 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1108 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1109 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1110 - fixed more endian issues
1111 - minor update to TODO
1113 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1114 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1116 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1117 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1118 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1119 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1121 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1122 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1123 on old build system if wanted
1124 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1125 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1126 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1127 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1128 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1129 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1131 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1132 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1133 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1134 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1135 properly when installed standalone
1136 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1137 installed barry library
1138 - added commentary on version number system
1139 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1140 system supercedes it
1141 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1142 - added library version number to autoconf build
1143 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1144 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1145 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1146 option... may need to revisit this later
1147 - quick installation update in README
1149 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1151 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1152 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1153 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1154 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1155 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1156 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1158 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1159 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1161 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1162 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1164 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1165 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1167 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1168 uploading to device to fail
1170 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1172 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1173 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1174 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1175 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1176 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1177 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1179 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1180 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1181 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1182 exceptions leak into the C library code
1184 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1185 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1187 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1188 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1190 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1193 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1194 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1195 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1196 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1197 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1198 header of its own, in the case of email
1199 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1200 Record does not know the details of the packet
1201 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1202 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1203 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1204 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1205 the record format details, but does know the
1206 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1208 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1209 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1210 record formats being the same even with different
1211 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1212 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1213 See the header size of the email record after
1215 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1216 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1217 The Controller object does not know the format
1218 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1219 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1220 to talk to the device.
1221 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1223 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1225 - added sample hotplug scripts

1230 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1231 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1232 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1233 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1234 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1235 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1236 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1238 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1240 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1241 flags of individual blackberry device records

1248 - removed slow sync functions for now
1250 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1251 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1252 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1253 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1254 the base classes for all exceptions
1255 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1256 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1270 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1272 - old and new description
1274 - bes domain / domain
1275 - date change in legal.txt
1276 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1277 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1278 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1279 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1280 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1282 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1283 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1284 - added AUTHORS file
1285 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1286 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1287 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1337 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1338 throw exception in controller.cc
1339 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1340 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1341 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1342 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.

1388 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1389 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1390 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1391 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1393 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1416 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1417 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1418 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1419 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1420 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1421 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1422 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1423 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1424 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1425 seem to need more time...)
1426 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1427 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1428 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1429 with Python, if used(?)
1430 - added Message class for Email records
1431 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1432 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1449 a public API function
1450 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1451 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on

1461 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1462 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1463 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1464 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1465 from the Command Table
1466 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1467 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1468 the Cassis spec more closely
1469 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1470 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1471 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1474 - added Doxyfile to the project
1476 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1477 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1478 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1480 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1481 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1482 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1483 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1485 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1486 less buffer than data copied
1487 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1488 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1489 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1490 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1492 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1493 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1495 - implemented socket::Close()
1496 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1498 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1500 - added .cvsignore files to project
1501 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1505 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1507 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1508 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1509 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1511 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1512 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1513 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1514 - regular debug output
1515 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1516 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1517 - raw data dump output
1518 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1519 numbers into english (limited success)
1520 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1521 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1522 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1523 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1524 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1525 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1526 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1527 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1528 for socket 0 operations.
1529 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1533 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1534 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1535 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1536 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1538 - syncberry tree started
