1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/04/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - started documentation in doc/www, putting the commonly asked
5 questions right on the front page, and making it more
6 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
9 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
12 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
13 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.
16 - added thread-safe logging mechanism
17 - added preliminary IP modem support... requires a recent
18 device... serial mode is not yet supported
21 - changed Barry::Init() so programmer can choose where
22 debug and exception information goes, instead of
27 - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
29 - also added ProbeResult constructor
30 - merged changes from visibility branch:
31 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
32 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
33 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
34 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such
36 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

46 - changed router to use SocketId typedef, for clarity
48 - fixed const char warnings from newer gcc compilers
49 - controller object now saves a copy of the probe result
50 and provides an API to retrieve it
51 - added sanity checks to m_serial.cc
52 - fixed probe behaviour so that a USB probe on an endpoint
53 that doesn't respond won't halt everything
54 - refactored some of the probe code, and added checks for
56 - added Probe::DumpAll()
57 - added Open() call to pppob.cc (not yet complete)

138 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
139 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
141 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
142 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
144 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
145 to avoid the CVS directories
146 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
147 diff.gz and dsc files
148 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
149 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
152 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
153 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
154 real opensync libraries
156 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
157 building RPM's from CVS
158 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
159 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
160 on ./configure command line
162 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
163 so that the database name is stored as the first line
165 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
167 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
168 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
170 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
171 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
173 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
174 Paul Dugas for the tip
176 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
177 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
178 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
179 - updated AUTHORS file
181 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
182 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
183 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
184 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
185 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
186 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
187 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
188 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
190 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
191 - updated copyright statments for 2008
193 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
195 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
196 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
201 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
205 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
208 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
209 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
211 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
212 - added pause to maintainer release script
218 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
222 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
224 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
225 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
227 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
228 search by busname / devname
229 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
230 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
231 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
232 bus/device names, and updated the man page
233 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
234 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
235 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
236 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
237 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
238 spec file for opensuse
240 - added better error checking to breset
241 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
242 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
243 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
244 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
245 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
246 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
247 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
249 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
250 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
251 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
252 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
253 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
254 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
255 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
256 make applications look more capable, not less.
257 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
258 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
259 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
262 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
263 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
266 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
267 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
268 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
269 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
270 at the same time as usb_storage.
271 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
272 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
273 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
274 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
275 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
276 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
277 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
278 fail naturally on these devices.
279 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
281 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
282 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
284 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
285 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
287 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
289 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
290 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
291 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
292 that release package builds can be done faster
294 - opensync plugin fixes:
295 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
296 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
297 and keep track of the hierarchy when
298 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
299 - added support for searching for attributes only
300 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
301 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
303 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
304 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
305 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
306 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
307 ToBarry conversion results
308 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
310 - fixed typo in previous fix
312 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
313 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
314 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
319 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
323 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
324 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
326 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
327 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
328 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
329 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
331 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
332 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
334 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
335 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
336 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
337 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
338 without recompiling the kernel.
339 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
341 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
342 information in README files to html format, so that it
343 is commonly available on the web
344 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
345 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
347 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
348 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
351 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
352 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
353 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
354 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
355 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
356 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
357 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
358 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
359 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
360 explanatory document for various system requirements
361 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
363 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
364 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
365 for opensuse rpm builds
367 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
368 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
369 - fixed build target to i386
370 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
373 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
374 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
375 will be updated more frequently
377 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
378 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
379 configure scripts to support external build directories
380 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
381 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
382 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
383 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
384 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
387 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
388 parse the comma separated string into an array,
390 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
391 and will affect backward compatibility with
392 old serialization datafiles
393 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
394 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
396 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
397 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
399 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
400 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
401 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
402 - fixed in opensync plugin:
403 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
404 so added lower case conversion routine
405 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
406 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
407 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
408 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
410 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
411 - added status message to endpoint override
413 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
414 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
415 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
416 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
417 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
418 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
420 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
421 The description is now part of the probe results
422 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
423 a new attribute definition.
424 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
425 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
426 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
427 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
428 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
429 in order to better support SWIG and Python
431 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
432 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
433 settings automatically where possible
434 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
435 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
437 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
438 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
439 error.cc is now an empty shell
440 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
441 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
442 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
443 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
444 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
446 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
451 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
455 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
456 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
457 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
459 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
460 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
462 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
463 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
464 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
465 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
466 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
468 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
469 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
470 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
471 endian bug in the process)
472 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
473 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
474 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
475 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
476 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
477 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
478 - opensync-plugin/README update
479 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
480 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
481 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
483 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
485 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
488 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
489 for the broken-down name instead of N
490 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
491 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
492 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
493 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
494 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
495 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
496 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
497 registered two. Moving to single change commit
498 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
499 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
500 ease memory pressure in the library.
501 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
503 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
504 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
505 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
507 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
509 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
510 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
511 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
512 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
513 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
514 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
515 record into the device.... First/Last Name
516 fields are position sensitive, and the code
517 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
518 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
519 were not updated to handle the new field
520 table added for the postal address changes
523 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
524 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
525 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
526 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
527 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
528 UID strings, instead of just numbers
529 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
530 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
531 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
532 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
533 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
535 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
536 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
537 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
538 sync the wrong device and lose data.
539 Actions to take on new PIN:
540 - force slow_sync, or
542 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
543 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
544 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
545 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
547 - changed PIN error message number to hex
549 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
550 "Backup in progress..."
551 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
552 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
553 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
554 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
555 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
556 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
557 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
558 a new class called PostalAddress
559 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
560 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
561 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
562 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
564 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
566 - added vCard converter class
567 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
568 of empty attribute values and parameters,
569 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
570 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
571 an extra nth argument, in order to search
572 for multiple attributes with the same name...
573 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
574 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
575 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
578 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
579 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
580 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
581 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
585 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
586 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
587 new Barry ID would look like a new change
588 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
589 - added support for slow sync
590 - added clear() to idmap class
591 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
592 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
593 - added Notification time support
594 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
595 does not exist in a vformat data block
596 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
597 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
598 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
599 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
600 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
601 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
602 special cases in the future
604 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
606 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
607 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
608 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
610 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
611 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
612 library API that is not yet finished... will be
613 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
614 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
616 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
617 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
618 the goal is to be able to do:
619 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
621 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
622 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
623 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
624 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
626 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
627 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
629 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
631 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
632 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
634 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
635 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
636 in general use will not break on build
637 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
638 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
639 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
641 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
643 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
644 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
645 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
646 SetIds() is already there
647 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
648 and moved into record.h
649 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
651 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
652 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
653 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
654 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
656 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
658 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
659 - changes to PIN message patch:
660 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
661 - fixed tab alignment throughout
662 - removed typedef from Address struct
663 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
664 going to be a standalone type
665 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
666 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
667 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
668 backing on a field for other use
669 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
670 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
671 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
672 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
673 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
674 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
675 PIN Message so that we store both of these
678 - added item to gui/TODO
679 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
681 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
682 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
683 modified to split into the new separate files system
684 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
685 - reformatted the code to match coding style
687 - added copyright notice
688 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
689 - placed in Barry namespace
690 - added #ifdef header protectors
691 - added new files to Makefile.am
692 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
693 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
694 Brian Edginton's patch
695 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
696 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
699 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
700 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
704 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
705 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
706 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
707 linker errors with the new file layout
709 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
710 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
711 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
713 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
714 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
715 and added a command line option to turn
716 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
717 - command line option --help now also works
718 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
719 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
720 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
721 localizing the constants in one place
723 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
724 fields in Contact and Calendar records
725 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
726 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
727 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
728 Outlook from the comments.
729 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
730 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
731 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
732 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
733 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
738 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
739 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
742 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
743 based on the example plugin in the opensync
744 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
748 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
749 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
750 and then success afterward
751 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
752 - added item to gui's todo list
753 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
757 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
761 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
762 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
764 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
765 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
766 - updated maintainer/README
767 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
769 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
770 - bumped release number in barry.spec
773 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
774 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
775 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
776 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
778 - added development note to README
780 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
783 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
784 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
787 - removed some unneeded trace logs
788 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
790 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
791 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
793 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
794 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
796 - opensync module work:
797 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
798 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
799 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
800 a hard coded calendar record state table
801 - added lots of logging throughout
802 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
803 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
804 causing another sync on the next run
805 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
806 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
807 written to the Blackberry
808 - more opensync module work:
809 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
810 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
811 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
812 the environment classes
813 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
814 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
816 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
817 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
818 a sample configuration
819 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
820 on success (opensync module)
821 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
822 - allowed comments in the config file
823 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
824 routines are not available from the plugin side
827 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
828 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
829 only use idProduct, and updated man page
830 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
831 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
832 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
833 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
834 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
835 and the old search didn't always work
836 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
837 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
838 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
839 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
840 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
841 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
842 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
843 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
844 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
846 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
847 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
848 the vevent20 data (experimental)
850 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
851 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
853 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
855 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
856 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
858 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
860 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
862 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
863 FullName, even if there was no last name)
864 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
865 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
866 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
867 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
868 this special case, without relying on string length.
869 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
870 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
871 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
873 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
875 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
876 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
877 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
878 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
879 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
880 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
881 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
882 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
883 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
885 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
886 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
888 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
889 udev rules for the Pearl
890 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
892 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
893 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
894 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
895 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
896 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
897 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
898 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
899 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
900 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
901 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
902 - added license file to each package
903 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
906 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
907 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
909 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
910 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
911 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
913 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
914 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
915 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
916 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
917 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
918 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
919 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
920 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
921 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
923 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
924 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
930 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
933 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
935 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
936 device discovery code
937 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
938 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
939 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
940 than are really available... in this case, let's
941 just ignore the missing data and assume success
942 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
943 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
944 - ReleaseChecklist update
945 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
946 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
949 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
950 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
952 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
953 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
954 - added initial release maintainer scripts
955 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
956 no databases selected in configuration
957 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
958 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
959 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
960 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
961 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
963 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
964 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
965 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
966 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
967 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
968 -v now controls this as well
969 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
970 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
971 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
972 the beginning of USB conversations
973 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
974 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
975 its sequence number behaviour
976 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
977 socket 0 level command
978 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
979 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
980 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
981 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
982 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
983 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
984 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
985 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
986 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
987 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
988 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
989 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
990 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
992 - updated controller.cc:
993 - uses new socket 0 implementation
994 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
995 selecting modes, as it should use the
996 socket 0 sequence number
997 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
998 - updated some .cvsignore files
1000 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1001 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1006 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1007 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1008 new PasswordChallenge struct
1009 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1010 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1011 password hashing logic.
1012 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1014 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1015 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1016 - major LDIF overhaul:
1017 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1019 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1020 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1021 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1023 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1025 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1026 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1028 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1029 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1030 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1031 - large update to btool manpage
1032 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1034 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1035 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1036 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1037 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1038 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1039 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1040 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1041 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1042 instead of hardcoding it.
1044 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1045 - minor tweaks to README
1046 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1047 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1048 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1049 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1050 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1051 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1052 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1054 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1055 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1056 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1057 - added iomanip to debug.h
1058 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1059 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1062 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1063 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1064 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1065 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1068 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1069 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1071 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1073 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1074 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1075 one base class: Barry::Error
1076 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1077 - added BadPassword exception
1083 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1084 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1085 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1086 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1087 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1088 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1089 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1091 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1092 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1093 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1094 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1095 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1096 due to pending reads
1098 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1099 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1101 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1102 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1103 - iostream output size fixes
1104 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1105 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1106 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1107 this is still experimental
1108 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1109 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1111 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1112 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1113 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1114 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1116 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1117 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1118 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1119 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1120 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1121 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1122 and record objects that use it.
1123 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1124 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1126 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1127 This returns the default rectype that should work
1128 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1129 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1130 records, this info would be good to know.
1131 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1132 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1133 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1134 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1135 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1136 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1137 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1138 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1139 - backup GUI updates:
1140 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1141 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1142 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1143 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1144 i.e. Backup or Restore
1145 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1146 it appears to be read-only on the device
1147 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1148 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1149 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1150 supported now by the library
1152 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1153 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1155 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1156 using the library should not care about endianness
1157 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1158 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1160 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1162 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1163 Version call instead
1164 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1166 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1167 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1168 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1170 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1171 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1172 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1174 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1175 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1176 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1177 through btool, for development
1178 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1179 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1180 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1181 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1182 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1183 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1184 exceptions need to be handled with
1185 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1186 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1187 - added pending gui/TODO items
1189 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1190 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1191 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1192 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1193 when we try to write to it)
1194 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1196 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1198 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1199 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1200 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1201 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1202 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1204 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1205 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1206 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1207 backups only at this point
1209 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1210 - added version API, returning version number and string
1211 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1212 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1213 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1214 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1216 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1217 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1219 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1220 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1221 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1222 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1224 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1226 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1228 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1229 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1231 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1233 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1234 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1236 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1237 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1238 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1239 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1240 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1241 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1243 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices

1281 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1282 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1283 properly when installed standalone
1284 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1285 installed barry library
1286 - added commentary on version number system

1325 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1327 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1328 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1329 more use of the base exception to make sure no

1332 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1333 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1335 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1336 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1338 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1341 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1342 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1343 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1344 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1345 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1346 header of its own, in the case of email
1347 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1348 Record does not know the details of the packet
1349 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1350 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1351 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1352 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1353 the record format details, but does know the
1354 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1356 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1357 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1358 record formats being the same even with different
1359 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1360 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1361 See the header size of the email record after
1363 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1364 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1365 The Controller object does not know the format
1366 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1367 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1368 to talk to the device.
1369 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1371 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1373 - added sample hotplug scripts
1374 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1375 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1376 handle non-little-endian machines
1377 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1378 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1379 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1380 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1381 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1382 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1383 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1384 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1386 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1388 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1389 flags of individual blackberry device records

1396 - removed slow sync functions for now
1398 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1399 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1400 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1401 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1402 the base classes for all exceptions
1403 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1404 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1406 - added to Contact record class:
1408 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1409 - added fragmented send support to Socket class

1418 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1420 - old and new description
1422 - bes domain / domain
1423 - date change in legal.txt
1424 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1425 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1426 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1427 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1428 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1430 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1431 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1432 - added AUTHORS file
1433 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1434 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1435 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1483 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1484 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1485 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1486 throw exception in controller.cc
1487 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1488 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1489 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1490 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1491 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1492 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1493 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1511 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1512 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1513 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1514 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1516 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1536 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1537 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1538 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1539 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1541 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1564 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1565 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1566 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1567 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1568 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1569 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1570 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1571 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1572 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1573 seem to need more time...)
1574 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1575 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1576 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1577 with Python, if used(?)
1578 - added Message class for Email records
1579 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1580 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1597 a public API function
1598 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1599 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1601 - added mode checks to Controller

1609 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1610 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1611 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1612 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1613 from the Command Table
1614 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1615 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1616 the Cassis spec more closely
1617 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1618 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1619 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1622 - added Doxyfile to the project
1624 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1625 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1626 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1628 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1629 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1630 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1631 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1633 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1634 less buffer than data copied
1635 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1636 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1637 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1638 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1640 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1641 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1643 - implemented socket::Close()
1644 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1652 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1653 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1655 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1656 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1657 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1659 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1660 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1661 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1662 - regular debug output
1663 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1664 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1665 - raw data dump output
1666 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1667 numbers into english (limited success)
1668 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1669 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1670 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1671 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1672 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1673 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1674 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1675 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1676 for socket 0 operations.
1677 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1681 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1682 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1683 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1684 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1686 - syncberry tree started
