1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
5 "Backup in progress..."
6 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
7 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
8 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
9 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
10 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
11 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
13 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
14 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
15 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
16 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
20 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
21 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
22 new Barry ID would look like a new change
23 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
24 - added support for slow sync
25 - added clear() to idmap class
26 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
27 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
28 - added Notification time support
29 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
30 does not exist in a vformat data block
31 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
32 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
33 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
34 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
35 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
36 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
37 special cases in the future
39 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
41 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
42 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
43 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
45 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
46 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
47 library API that is not yet finished... will be
48 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
49 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
51 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
52 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
53 the goal is to be able to do:
54 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
56 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
57 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
58 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
59 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
61 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
62 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
64 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
66 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
67 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
69 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
70 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
71 in general use will not break on build
72 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
73 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
74 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
76 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
78 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
79 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
80 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
81 SetIds() is already there
82 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
83 and moved into record.h
84 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
86 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
87 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
88 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
89 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
91 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
93 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
94 - changes to PIN message patch:
95 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
96 - fixed tab alignment throughout
97 - removed typedef from Address struct
98 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
99 going to be a standalone type
100 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
101 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
102 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
103 backing on a field for other use
104 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
105 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
106 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
107 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
108 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
109 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
110 PIN Message so that we store both of these
113 - added item to gui/TODO
114 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
116 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
117 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
118 modified to split into the new separate files system
119 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
120 - reformatted the code to match coding style
122 - added copyright notice
123 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
124 - placed in Barry namespace
125 - added #ifdef header protectors
126 - added new files to Makefile.am
127 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
128 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
129 Brian Edginton's patch
130 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
131 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
134 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
135 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
139 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
140 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
141 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
142 linker errors with the new file layout
144 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
145 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
146 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
148 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
149 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
150 and added a command line option to turn
151 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
152 - command line option --help now also works
153 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
154 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
155 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
156 localizing the constants in one place
158 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
159 fields in Contact and Calendar records
160 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
161 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
162 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
163 Outlook from the comments.
164 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
165 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
166 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
167 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
168 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
173 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
174 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
177 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
178 based on the example plugin in the opensync
179 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
183 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
184 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
185 and then success afterward
186 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
187 - added item to gui's todo list
188 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:

196 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
197 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
199 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

201 - updated maintainer/README
202 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
204 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
205 - bumped release number in barry.spec
208 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
209 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
210 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
211 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
213 - added development note to README
215 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
218 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
219 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
222 - removed some unneeded trace logs
223 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
225 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
226 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
228 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
229 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
231 - opensync module work:
232 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
233 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
234 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
235 a hard coded calendar record state table
236 - added lots of logging throughout
237 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
238 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
239 causing another sync on the next run
240 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
241 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
242 written to the Blackberry
243 - more opensync module work:
244 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
245 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
246 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
247 the environment classes
248 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
249 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
251 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
252 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
253 a sample configuration
254 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
255 on success (opensync module)
256 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
257 - allowed comments in the config file
258 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
259 routines are not available from the plugin side
262 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
263 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
264 only use idProduct, and updated man page
265 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
266 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
267 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
268 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
269 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
270 and the old search didn't always work
271 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
272 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
273 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
274 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
275 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
276 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
277 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
278 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
279 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
281 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
282 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
283 the vevent20 data (experimental)
285 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
286 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
288 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
290 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
291 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
293 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
295 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
297 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
298 FullName, even if there was no last name)
299 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
300 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
301 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
302 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
303 this special case, without relying on string length.
304 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
305 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
306 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
308 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
310 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
311 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
312 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
313 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
314 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
315 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
316 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
317 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
318 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
320 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
321 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
323 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
324 udev rules for the Pearl
325 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
327 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
328 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
329 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
330 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
331 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
332 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
333 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
334 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
335 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
336 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
337 - added license file to each package
338 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
341 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
342 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
344 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
345 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
346 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
348 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
349 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
350 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
351 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
352 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
353 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
354 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
355 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
356 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
358 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
359 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
365 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
368 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
370 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
371 device discovery code
372 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
373 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
374 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
375 than are really available... in this case, let's
376 just ignore the missing data and assume success
377 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
378 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
379 - ReleaseChecklist update
380 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
381 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
384 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
385 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
387 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
388 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
389 - added initial release maintainer scripts
390 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
391 no databases selected in configuration
392 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
393 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
394 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
395 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
396 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
398 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
399 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
400 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
401 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
402 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
403 -v now controls this as well
404 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
405 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
406 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
407 the beginning of USB conversations
408 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
409 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
410 its sequence number behaviour
411 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
412 socket 0 level command
413 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
414 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
415 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
416 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
417 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
418 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
419 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
420 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
421 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
422 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
423 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
424 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
425 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
427 - updated controller.cc:
428 - uses new socket 0 implementation
429 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
430 selecting modes, as it should use the
431 socket 0 sequence number
432 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
433 - updated some .cvsignore files
435 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
436 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
441 - moved Command() to base Packet class
442 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
443 new PasswordChallenge struct
444 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
445 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
446 password hashing logic.
447 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
449 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
450 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
451 - major LDIF overhaul:
452 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
454 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
455 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
456 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
458 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
460 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
461 notes fields were missed in old version if not
463 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
464 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
465 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
466 - large update to btool manpage
467 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
469 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
470 - removed commented code from translate.cc
471 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
472 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
473 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
474 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
475 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
476 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
477 instead of hardcoding it.
479 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
480 - minor tweaks to README
481 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
482 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
483 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
484 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
485 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
486 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
487 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
489 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
490 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
491 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
492 - added iomanip to debug.h
493 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
494 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
497 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
498 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
499 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
500 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
503 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
504 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
506 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
508 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
509 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
510 one base class: Barry::Error
511 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
512 - added BadPassword exception
518 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
519 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
520 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
521 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
522 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
523 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
524 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
526 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
527 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
528 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
529 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
530 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
533 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
534 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
536 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
537 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
538 - iostream output size fixes
539 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
540 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
541 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
542 this is still experimental
543 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
544 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
546 - uncommented the about box menu handler
547 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
548 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
549 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
551 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
552 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
553 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
554 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
555 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
556 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
557 and record objects that use it.
558 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
559 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
561 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
562 This returns the default rectype that should work
563 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
564 the device, but in the case where a database has no
565 records, this info would be good to know.
566 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
567 to use GetDefaultRecType()
568 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
569 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
570 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
571 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
572 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
573 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
574 - backup GUI updates:
575 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
576 and changed the logic so the restore continues
577 even if there was a protocol error on one database
578 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
579 i.e. Backup or Restore
580 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
581 it appears to be read-only on the device
582 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
583 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
584 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
585 supported now by the library
587 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
588 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
590 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
591 using the library should not care about endianness
592 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
593 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
595 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
597 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
599 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
601 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
602 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
603 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
605 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
606 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
607 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
609 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
610 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
611 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
612 through btool, for development
613 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
614 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
615 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
616 - finished implementation of GUI restore
617 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
618 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
619 exceptions need to be handled with
620 Glib::add_exception_handler()
621 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
622 - added pending gui/TODO items
624 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
625 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
626 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
627 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
628 when we try to write to it)
629 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
631 - moved Data class into Barry namespace

645 - added version API, returning version number and string
646 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
647 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
648 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
649 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
651 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
652 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
654 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
655 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
656 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
657 leaving the device in Desktop mode
659 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
661 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
663 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
664 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
666 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
668 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
669 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
671 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
672 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
673 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
674 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
675 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
676 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
678 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices

684 a future Debian install
685 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
686 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
687 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
688 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
690 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
691 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
692 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

718 properly when installed standalone
719 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against

758 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
759 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
760 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
762 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
763 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
764 more use of the base exception to make sure no
765 exceptions leak into the C library code
767 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
768 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
770 - fixed casting error in opensync module
771 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
773 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
776 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
777 splitting the code into 3 groups:
778 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
779 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
780 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
781 header of its own, in the case of email
782 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
783 Record does not know the details of the packet
784 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
785 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
786 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
787 providing an API for it... packet does not know
788 the record format details, but does know the
789 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
791 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
792 of operation formats and record formats, with the
793 record formats being the same even with different
794 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
795 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
796 See the header size of the email record after
798 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
799 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
800 The Controller object does not know the format
801 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
802 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
803 to talk to the device.
804 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
806 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
808 - added sample hotplug scripts
809 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
810 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
811 handle non-little-endian machines
812 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
813 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
814 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
815 and cause a failure to reach the device...
816 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
817 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
818 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
819 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
821 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
823 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
824 flags of individual blackberry device records

835 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
836 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
837 the base classes for all exceptions
838 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
839 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

843 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
844 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
845 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

853 - old and new unique ID (UID)
855 - old and new description
857 - bes domain / domain
858 - date change in legal.txt
859 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
860 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
861 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
862 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
863 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
865 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
866 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
868 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
869 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
870 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
872 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf

917 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
918 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
919 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
920 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
921 throw exception in controller.cc
922 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
923 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
924 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
925 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
926 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
927 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions

948 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
949 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
951 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

971 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
972 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
973 structs are completely hidden in the library...
974 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

999 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1000 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1001 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1002 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1003 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1004 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1005 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1006 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1007 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1008 seem to need more time...)
1009 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1010 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1011 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1012 with Python, if used(?)
1013 - added Message class for Email records
1014 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1015 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1048 from the Command Table
1049 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1050 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1051 the Cassis spec more closely
1052 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1053 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1054 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1057 - added Doxyfile to the project
1059 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1060 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1061 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1063 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1064 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class

1068 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1069 less buffer than data copied
1070 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1071 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1072 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1073 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1075 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1076 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1078 - implemented socket::Close()
1079 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1087 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1088 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1090 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1091 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1092 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1094 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1095 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1096 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1097 - regular debug output
1098 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1099 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1100 - raw data dump output
1101 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1102 numbers into english (limited success)
1103 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1104 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1105 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1106 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1107 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1108 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1109 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1110 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1111 for socket 0 operations.
1112 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1116 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1117 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1118 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1119 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
