1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/06/28
4 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
5 2007/06/21
6 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
7 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
8 2007/06/14
9 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
10 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
11 in general use will not break on build
12 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
13 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
14 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
15 2007/06/08
16 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
17 dependency
18 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
19 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
20 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
21 SetIds() is already there
22 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
23 and moved into record.h
24 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
25 be more mbox-like
26 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
27 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
28 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
29 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
30 2007/06/07
31 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
32 2007/06/06
33 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
34 - changes to PIN message patch:
35 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
36 - fixed tab alignment throughout
37 - removed typedef from Address struct
38 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
39 going to be a standalone type
40 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
41 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
42 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
43 backing on a field for other use
44 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
45 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
46 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
47 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
48 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
49 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
50 PIN Message so that we store both of these
51 - updated AUTHORS

84 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
85 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
86 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
87 - backup gui:

104 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
105 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
106 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
107 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
108 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
109 libbarry
110 libbarry-dev
111 barry-util
112 barrybackup-gui
113 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
114 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
115 small on Debian Etch
116 - opensync plugin:
117 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
118 based on the example plugin in the opensync
119 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far

121 2007/05/04
122 - opensync plugin:
123 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
124 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error

147 - opensync plugin:
148 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
149 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
150 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
151 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
152 xml data format...
153 - added development note to README
154 2007/04/29
155 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
156 build instructions
157 - opensync plugin:
158 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
159 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
160 2007/04/27
161 - opensync module:
162 - removed some unneeded trace logs
163 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
164 m_Data pointer
165 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
166 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
167 if empty
168 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
169 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
170 2007/04/26
171 - opensync module work:
172 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
173 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
174 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
175 a hard coded calendar record state table
176 - added lots of logging throughout
177 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
178 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
179 causing another sync on the next run
180 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
181 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
182 written to the Blackberry
183 - more opensync module work:
184 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
185 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
186 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
187 the environment classes
188 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
189 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
190 2007/04/20
191 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
192 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
193 a sample configuration
194 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
195 on success (opensync module)
196 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
197 - allowed comments in the config file
198 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
199 routines are not available from the plugin side
200 2007/04/19
201 - updated gui/TODO
202 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
203 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
204 only use idProduct, and updated man page
205 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
206 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
207 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
208 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
209 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
210 and the old search didn't always work
211 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
212 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
213 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
214 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
215 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
216 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
217 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
218 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
219 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
220 search at 0
221 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
222 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
223 the vevent20 data (experimental)
224 2007/04/04
225 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
226 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
227 2007/03/30
228 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
229 if found
230 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
231 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
232 of the project
233 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
234 2007/03/29
235 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
236 - updated AUTHORS
237 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
238 FullName, even if there was no last name)
239 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
240 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
241 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
242 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
243 this special case, without relying on string length.
244 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
245 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
246 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
247 2007/03/17
248 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
249 2007/03/16
250 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
251 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
252 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
253 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
254 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
255 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
256 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
257 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
258 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
259 in some cases
260 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
261 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
262 2007/03/08
263 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
264 udev rules for the Pearl
265 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
266 functionality
267 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
268 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
269 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
270 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
271 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
272 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
273 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
274 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
275 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
276 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
277 - added license file to each package
278 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
279 discussion
280 - updated AUTHORS
281 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
282 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
283 for the bug report
284 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
285 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
286 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
287 user.
288 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
289 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
290 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
291 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
292 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
293 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
294 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
295 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
296 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
297 as a guide
298 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
299 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
300 2007/03/02
301 - version bump in:
302 - configure.ac
303 - src/Makefile.am
304 - src/version.cc
305 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
306 - src/Doxyfile
307 - rpm/barry.spec
308 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
309 for it
310 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
311 device discovery code
312 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
313 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
314 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
315 than are really available... in this case, let's
316 just ignore the missing data and assume success
317 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
318 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
319 - ReleaseChecklist update
320 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
321 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
322 dependency
324 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
325 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
326 2007/02/28
327 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
328 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
329 - added initial release maintainer scripts
330 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
331 no databases selected in configuration
332 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
333 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
334 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
335 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
336 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
337 2007/02/23
338 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
339 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
340 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
341 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
342 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
343 -v now controls this as well
344 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
345 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
346 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
347 the beginning of USB conversations
348 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
349 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
350 its sequence number behaviour
351 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
352 socket 0 level command
353 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
354 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
355 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
356 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
357 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
358 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
359 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
360 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
361 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
362 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
363 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
364 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
365 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
366 of socket 0 packets
367 - updated controller.cc:
368 - uses new socket 0 implementation
369 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
370 selecting modes, as it should use the
371 socket 0 sequence number
372 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
373 - updated some .cvsignore files
374 - updated TODO
375 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
376 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
377 - ChallengeSeed()
378 - RemainingTries()
379 - SocketResponse()
380 - SocketSqeuence()
381 - moved Command() to base Packet class
382 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
383 new PasswordChallenge struct
384 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
385 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
386 password hashing logic.
387 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
388 2007/02/22
389 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
390 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
391 - major LDIF overhaul:
392 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
393 into its own
394 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
395 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
396 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
397 contact field names
398 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
399 if necessary
400 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
401 notes fields were missed in old version if not
402 encoded
403 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
404 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
405 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
406 - large update to btool manpage
407 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
408 2007/02/15
409 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
410 - removed commented code from translate.cc
411 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
412 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
413 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
414 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
415 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
416 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
417 instead of hardcoding it.
418 2007/02/10
419 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
420 - minor tweaks to README
421 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
422 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
423 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
424 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
425 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
426 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
427 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
428 2007/02/09
429 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
430 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
431 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
432 - added iomanip to debug.h
433 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
434 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
435 2007/02/04
436 - updated AUTHORS
437 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
438 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
439 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
440 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
441 from Ian Darwin
442 2007/02/03
443 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
444 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
445 - updated AUTHORS
446 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
447 2007/02/02
448 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
449 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
450 one base class: Barry::Error
451 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
452 - added BadPassword exception
453 2007/02/01
454 - version bump in:
455 - configure.ac
456 - src/Makefile.am
457 - src/version.cc
458 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
459 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
460 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
461 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
462 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
463 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
464 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
465 in the future.
466 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
467 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
468 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
469 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
470 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
471 due to pending reads
473 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
474 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
475 2007/01/26
476 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
477 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
478 - iostream output size fixes
479 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
480 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
481 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
482 this is still experimental
483 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
484 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
485 Debian stable
486 - uncommented the about box menu handler
487 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
488 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
489 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
490 2007/01/25
491 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
492 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
493 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
494 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
495 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
496 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
497 and record objects that use it.
498 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
499 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
500 32 bits
501 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
502 This returns the default rectype that should work
503 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
504 the device, but in the case where a database has no
505 records, this info would be good to know.
506 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
507 to use GetDefaultRecType()
508 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
509 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
510 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
511 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
512 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
513 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
514 - backup GUI updates:
515 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
516 and changed the logic so the restore continues
517 even if there was a protocol error on one database
518 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
519 i.e. Backup or Restore
520 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
521 it appears to be read-only on the device
522 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
523 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
524 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
525 supported now by the library
526 2007/01/21
527 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
528 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
529 - changes to patch:
530 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
531 using the library should not care about endianness
532 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
533 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
534 install
535 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
536 for the same reason
537 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
538 Version call instead
539 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
540 - updated AUTHORS
541 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
542 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
543 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
544 2007/01/20
545 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
546 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
547 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
548 some older devices
549 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
550 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
551 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
552 through btool, for development
553 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
554 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
555 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
556 - finished implementation of GUI restore
557 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
558 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
559 exceptions need to be handled with
560 Glib::add_exception_handler()
561 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
562 - added pending gui/TODO items
563 2007/01/19
564 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
565 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
566 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
567 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
568 when we try to write to it)
569 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
570 2007/01/18
571 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
572 2007/01/13
573 - updated copyright dates for the new year
574 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
575 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
576 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
577 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
578 - updated README
579 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
580 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
581 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
582 backups only at this point
583 2007/01/11
584 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
585 - added version API, returning version number and string
586 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
587 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
588 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
589 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
590 2007/01/05
591 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
592 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
593 in probe.h)
594 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
595 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
596 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
597 leaving the device in Desktop mode
598 2007/01/04
599 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
600 different rules
601 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
602 USB product ID 6
603 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
604 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
605 2006/12/29
606 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
608 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
609 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
610 2006/12/29
611 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
612 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
613 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
614 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
615 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
616 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
617 depend on.
618 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
619 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
620 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
621 package scripts
622 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
623 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
624 a future Debian install
625 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
626 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
627 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
628 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
629 2006/12/21
630 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
631 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
632 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
633 - fixed more endian issues
634 - minor update to TODO
635 2006/12/15

650 into their own tools/ subdirectory
651 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
652 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
653 use only
654 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
655 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
656 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
657 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
658 properly when installed standalone
659 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
660 installed barry library
661 - added commentary on version number system
662 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
663 system supercedes it
664 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
665 - added library version number to autoconf build
666 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
667 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
668 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
669 option... may need to revisit this later
670 - quick installation update in README
671 2006/12/01
672 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
673 some size checks
674 - fixed endian issues in time.h

682 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
684 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
685 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
686 2006/11/23
687 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
688 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
689 from any int

700 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
701 at once
702 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
703 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
704 more use of the base exception to make sure no
705 exceptions leak into the C library code
707 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
708 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
709 2006/10/12
710 - fixed casting error in opensync module
711 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
712 2006/09/29
713 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
714 the bug report
715 2006/09/08
716 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
717 splitting the code into 3 groups:
718 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
719 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
720 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
721 header of its own, in the case of email
722 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
723 Record does not know the details of the packet
724 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
725 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
726 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
727 providing an API for it... packet does not know
728 the record format details, but does know the
729 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
730 packet format.
731 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
732 of operation formats and record formats, with the
733 record formats being the same even with different
734 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
735 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
736 See the header size of the email record after
737 refactoring.
738 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
739 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
740 The Controller object does not know the format
741 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
742 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
743 to talk to the device.
744 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
745 we come!
746 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
747 2006/09/01
748 - added sample hotplug scripts
749 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
750 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
751 handle non-little-endian machines
752 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
753 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
754 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
755 and cause a failure to reach the device...
756 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
757 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
758 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
759 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
760 engineered.
761 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
762 for smarter syncing
763 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
764 flags of individual blackberry device records
765 - added endian macros throughout the code
766 2006/07/13
767 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
768 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
769 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
770 for development)
771 - removed slow sync functions for now
772 2006/07/07
773 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
774 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
775 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
776 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
777 the base classes for all exceptions
778 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
779 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
780 2006/06/22
781 - added to Contact record class:
782 - Clear()
783 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
784 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
785 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
786 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
787 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
788 and upload it to a blackberry
789 - updated src/.cvsignore
790 2006/06/16
791 - added parsing of service book fields:
792 - old and new name
793 - old and new unique ID (UID)
794 - content ID (CID)
795 - old and new description
796 - DSID
797 - bes domain / domain
798 - date change in legal.txt
799 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
800 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
801 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
802 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
803 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
804 2006/06/09
805 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
806 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
807 - added AUTHORS file
808 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
809 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
810 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
811 2006/05/25
812 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
813 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
814 2006/05/18

823 support of the template Controller functions
824 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
825 returning errors properly
826 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
827 of Controller template member usage
828 2006/03/29
829 - copyright dates updated for 2006
830 2006/01/05
831 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

834 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
835 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
836 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
837 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
838 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
839 constants... constants are now removed
840 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
841 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
842 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

857 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
858 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
859 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
860 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
861 throw exception in controller.cc
862 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
863 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
864 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
865 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
866 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
867 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
868 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

872 - added autoconf to Todo list
873 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
874 be reused for upload and download
875 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
876 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
877 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
878 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
879 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
880 this obsolete)
881 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
882 2005/12/10
883 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
884 - added boost::serialization to build
885 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
886 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
887 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
888 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
889 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
890 properly serialized
891 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
892 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data

901 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
902 for later saving
903 2005/12/07
904 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
905 optimize away protocol struct casts
906 see:
907 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

911 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
912 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
913 structs are completely hidden in the library...
914 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
916 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
917 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
918 2005/11/25

937 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
938 2005/11/19
939 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
940 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
941 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
942 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
943 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
944 Observed maximum blank count: 1
945 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
946 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
947 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
948 seem to need more time...)
949 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
950 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
951 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
952 with Python, if used(?)
953 - added Message class for Email records
954 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
955 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
956 available, and parses it with a Parser object
957 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
958 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
959 - cleaned up comments

968 - added header comments to convo.awk script
969 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
970 better suited to its general API purpose
971 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
972 a public API function
973 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
974 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
975 the command line
976 - added mode checks to Controller
977 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
978 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
979 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
980 file based
981 2005/11/18
982 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
983 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
984 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
985 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
986 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
987 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
988 from the Command Table
989 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
990 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
991 the Cassis spec more closely
992 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
993 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
994 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
995 destructors
996 2005/11/17
997 - added Doxyfile to the project
998 - tuned Makefile
999 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1000 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1001 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1002 data transfers.
1003 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1004 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1005 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1006 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1007 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1008 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1009 less buffer than data copied
1010 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1011 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1012 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1013 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1014 data
1015 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1016 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1017 saved
1018 - implemented socket::Close()
1019 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1020 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1021 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1022 2005/11/11
1023 - added .cvsignore files to project
1024 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1025 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1026 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1027 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1028 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1029 -l = list only
1030 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1031 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1032 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1033 results
1034 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1035 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1036 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1037 - regular debug output
1038 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1039 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1040 - raw data dump output
1041 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1042 numbers into english (limited success)
1043 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1044 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1045 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1046 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1047 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1048 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1049 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1050 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1051 for socket 0 operations.
1052 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1053 MAKE_PACKET()
1054 COMMAND()
1055 IS_COMMAND()
1056 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1057 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1058 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1059 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1060 2005/10/20
1061 - syncberry tree started
