16 debug and exception information goes, instead of
21 - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
23 - also added ProbeResult constructor
24 - merged changes from visibility branch:
25 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
26 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
27 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
28 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such
30 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

132 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
133 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
135 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
136 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
138 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
139 to avoid the CVS directories
140 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
141 diff.gz and dsc files
142 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
143 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
146 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
147 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
148 real opensync libraries
150 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
151 building RPM's from CVS
152 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
153 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
154 on ./configure command line
156 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
157 so that the database name is stored as the first line
159 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
161 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
162 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
164 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
165 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
167 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
168 Paul Dugas for the tip
170 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
171 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
172 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
173 - updated AUTHORS file
175 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
176 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
177 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
178 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
179 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
180 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
181 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
182 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
184 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
185 - updated copyright statments for 2008
187 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
189 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
190 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
195 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
199 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
202 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
203 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
205 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
206 - added pause to maintainer release script
212 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
216 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
218 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
219 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
221 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
222 search by busname / devname
223 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
224 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
225 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
226 bus/device names, and updated the man page
227 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
228 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
229 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
230 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
231 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
232 spec file for opensuse
234 - added better error checking to breset
235 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
236 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
237 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
238 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
239 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
240 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
241 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
243 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
244 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
245 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
246 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
247 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
248 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
249 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
250 make applications look more capable, not less.
251 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
252 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
253 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
256 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
257 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
260 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
261 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
262 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
263 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
264 at the same time as usb_storage.
265 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
266 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
267 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
268 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
269 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
270 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
271 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
272 fail naturally on these devices.
273 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
275 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
276 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
278 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
279 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
281 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
283 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
284 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
285 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
286 that release package builds can be done faster
288 - opensync plugin fixes:
289 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
290 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
291 and keep track of the hierarchy when
292 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
293 - added support for searching for attributes only
294 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
295 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
297 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
298 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
299 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
300 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
301 ToBarry conversion results
302 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
304 - fixed typo in previous fix
306 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
307 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
308 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
313 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
317 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
318 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
320 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
321 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
322 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
323 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
325 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
326 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
328 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
329 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
330 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
331 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
332 without recompiling the kernel.
333 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
335 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
336 information in README files to html format, so that it
337 is commonly available on the web
338 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
339 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
341 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
342 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
345 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
346 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
347 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
348 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
349 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
350 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
351 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
352 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
353 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
354 explanatory document for various system requirements
355 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
357 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
358 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
359 for opensuse rpm builds
361 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
362 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
363 - fixed build target to i386
364 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
367 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
368 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
369 will be updated more frequently
371 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
372 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
373 configure scripts to support external build directories
374 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
375 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
376 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
377 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
378 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
381 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
382 parse the comma separated string into an array,
384 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
385 and will affect backward compatibility with
386 old serialization datafiles
387 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
388 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
390 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
391 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
393 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
394 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
395 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
396 - fixed in opensync plugin:
397 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
398 so added lower case conversion routine
399 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
400 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
401 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
402 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
404 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
405 - added status message to endpoint override
407 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
408 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
409 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
410 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
411 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
412 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
414 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
415 The description is now part of the probe results
416 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
417 a new attribute definition.
418 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
419 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
420 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
421 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
422 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
423 in order to better support SWIG and Python
425 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
426 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
427 settings automatically where possible
428 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
429 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
431 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
432 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
433 error.cc is now an empty shell
434 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
435 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
436 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
437 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
438 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
440 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
445 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
449 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
450 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
451 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
453 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
454 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
456 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
457 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
458 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
459 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
460 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
462 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
463 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
464 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
465 endian bug in the process)
466 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
467 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
468 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
469 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
470 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
471 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
472 - opensync-plugin/README update
473 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
474 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
475 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
477 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
479 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
482 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
483 for the broken-down name instead of N
484 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
485 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
486 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
487 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
488 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
489 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
490 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
491 registered two. Moving to single change commit
492 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
493 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
494 ease memory pressure in the library.
495 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
497 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
498 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
499 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
501 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
503 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
504 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
505 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
506 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
507 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
508 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
509 record into the device.... First/Last Name
510 fields are position sensitive, and the code
511 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
512 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
513 were not updated to handle the new field
514 table added for the postal address changes
517 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
518 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
519 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
520 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
521 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
522 UID strings, instead of just numbers
523 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
524 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
525 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
526 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
527 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
529 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
530 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
531 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
532 sync the wrong device and lose data.
533 Actions to take on new PIN:
534 - force slow_sync, or
536 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
537 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
538 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
539 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
541 - changed PIN error message number to hex
543 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
544 "Backup in progress..."
545 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
546 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
547 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
548 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
549 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
550 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
551 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
552 a new class called PostalAddress
553 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
554 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
555 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
556 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
558 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
560 - added vCard converter class
561 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
562 of empty attribute values and parameters,
563 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
564 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
565 an extra nth argument, in order to search
566 for multiple attributes with the same name...
567 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
568 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
569 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
572 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
573 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
574 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
575 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
579 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
580 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
581 new Barry ID would look like a new change
582 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
583 - added support for slow sync
584 - added clear() to idmap class
585 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
586 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
587 - added Notification time support
588 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
589 does not exist in a vformat data block
590 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
591 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
592 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
593 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
594 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
595 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
596 special cases in the future
598 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
600 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
601 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
602 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
604 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
605 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
606 library API that is not yet finished... will be
607 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
608 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
610 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
611 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
612 the goal is to be able to do:
613 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
615 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
616 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
617 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
618 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
620 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
621 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
623 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
625 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
626 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
628 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
629 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
630 in general use will not break on build
631 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
632 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
633 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
635 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
637 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
638 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
639 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
640 SetIds() is already there
641 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
642 and moved into record.h
643 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
645 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
646 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
647 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
648 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
650 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
652 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
653 - changes to PIN message patch:
654 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
655 - fixed tab alignment throughout
656 - removed typedef from Address struct
657 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
658 going to be a standalone type
659 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
660 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
661 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
662 backing on a field for other use
663 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
664 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
665 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
666 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
667 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
668 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
669 PIN Message so that we store both of these
672 - added item to gui/TODO
673 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
675 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
676 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
677 modified to split into the new separate files system
678 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
679 - reformatted the code to match coding style
681 - added copyright notice
682 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
683 - placed in Barry namespace
684 - added #ifdef header protectors
685 - added new files to Makefile.am
686 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
687 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
688 Brian Edginton's patch
689 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
690 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
693 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
694 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
698 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
699 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
700 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
701 linker errors with the new file layout
703 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
704 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
705 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
707 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
708 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
709 and added a command line option to turn
710 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
711 - command line option --help now also works
712 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
713 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
714 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
715 localizing the constants in one place
717 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
718 fields in Contact and Calendar records
719 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
720 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
721 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
722 Outlook from the comments.
723 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
724 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
725 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
726 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
727 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
732 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
733 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
736 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
737 based on the example plugin in the opensync
738 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
742 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
743 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
744 and then success afterward
745 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
746 - added item to gui's todo list
747 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
751 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
755 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
756 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
758 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
759 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
760 - updated maintainer/README
761 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
763 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
764 - bumped release number in barry.spec
767 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
768 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
769 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
770 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
772 - added development note to README
774 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
777 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
778 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
781 - removed some unneeded trace logs
782 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
784 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
785 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
787 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
788 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
790 - opensync module work:
791 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
792 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
793 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
794 a hard coded calendar record state table
795 - added lots of logging throughout
796 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
797 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
798 causing another sync on the next run
799 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
800 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
801 written to the Blackberry
802 - more opensync module work:
803 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
804 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
805 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
806 the environment classes
807 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
808 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
810 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
811 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
812 a sample configuration
813 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
814 on success (opensync module)
815 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
816 - allowed comments in the config file
817 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
818 routines are not available from the plugin side
821 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
822 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
823 only use idProduct, and updated man page
824 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
825 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
826 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
827 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
828 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
829 and the old search didn't always work
830 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
831 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
832 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
833 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
834 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
835 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
836 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
837 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
838 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
840 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
841 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
842 the vevent20 data (experimental)
844 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
845 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
847 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
849 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
850 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
852 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
854 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
856 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
857 FullName, even if there was no last name)
858 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
859 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
860 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
861 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
862 this special case, without relying on string length.
863 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
864 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
865 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
867 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
869 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
870 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
871 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
872 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
873 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
874 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
875 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
876 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
877 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
879 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
880 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
882 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
883 udev rules for the Pearl
884 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
886 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
887 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
888 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
889 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
890 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
891 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
892 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
893 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
894 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
895 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
896 - added license file to each package
897 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
900 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
901 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
903 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
904 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
905 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
907 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
908 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
909 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
910 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
911 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
912 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
913 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
914 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
915 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
917 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
918 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
924 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
927 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
929 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
930 device discovery code
931 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
932 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
933 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
934 than are really available... in this case, let's
935 just ignore the missing data and assume success
936 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
937 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
938 - ReleaseChecklist update
939 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
940 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
943 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
944 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
946 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
947 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
948 - added initial release maintainer scripts
949 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
950 no databases selected in configuration
951 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
952 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
953 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
954 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
955 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
957 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
958 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
959 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
960 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
961 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
962 -v now controls this as well
963 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
964 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
965 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
966 the beginning of USB conversations
967 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
968 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
969 its sequence number behaviour
970 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
971 socket 0 level command
972 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
973 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
974 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
975 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
976 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
977 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
978 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
979 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
980 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
981 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
982 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
983 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
984 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
986 - updated controller.cc:
987 - uses new socket 0 implementation
988 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
989 selecting modes, as it should use the
990 socket 0 sequence number
991 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
992 - updated some .cvsignore files
994 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
995 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1000 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1001 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1002 new PasswordChallenge struct
1003 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1004 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1005 password hashing logic.
1006 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1008 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1009 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1010 - major LDIF overhaul:
1011 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1013 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1014 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1015 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1017 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1019 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1020 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1022 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1023 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1024 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1025 - large update to btool manpage
1026 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1028 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1029 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1030 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1031 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1032 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1033 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1034 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1035 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1036 instead of hardcoding it.
1038 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1039 - minor tweaks to README
1040 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1041 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1042 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1043 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1044 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1045 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1046 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1048 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1049 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1050 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1051 - added iomanip to debug.h
1052 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1053 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1056 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1057 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1058 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1059 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1062 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1063 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1065 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1067 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1068 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1069 one base class: Barry::Error
1070 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1071 - added BadPassword exception
1077 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1078 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1079 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1080 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1081 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1082 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1083 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1085 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1086 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1087 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1088 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1089 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1090 due to pending reads
1092 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1093 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1095 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1096 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1097 - iostream output size fixes
1098 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1099 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1100 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1101 this is still experimental
1102 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1103 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1105 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1106 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1107 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1108 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1110 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1111 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1112 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1113 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1114 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1115 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1116 and record objects that use it.
1117 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1118 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1120 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1121 This returns the default rectype that should work
1122 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1123 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1124 records, this info would be good to know.
1125 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1126 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1127 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1128 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1129 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1130 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1131 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1132 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1133 - backup GUI updates:
1134 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1135 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1136 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1137 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1138 i.e. Backup or Restore
1139 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1140 it appears to be read-only on the device
1141 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1142 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1143 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1144 supported now by the library
1146 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1147 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1149 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1150 using the library should not care about endianness
1151 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1152 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1154 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1156 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1157 Version call instead
1158 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1160 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1161 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1162 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1164 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1165 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1166 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1168 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1169 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1170 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1171 through btool, for development
1172 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1173 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1174 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1175 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1176 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1177 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1178 exceptions need to be handled with
1179 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1180 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1181 - added pending gui/TODO items
1183 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1184 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1185 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1186 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1187 when we try to write to it)
1188 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1190 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1192 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1193 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1194 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1195 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1196 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1198 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1199 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1200 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1201 backups only at this point
1203 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1204 - added version API, returning version number and string
1205 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1206 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1207 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1208 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1210 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1211 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1213 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1214 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1215 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1216 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1218 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1220 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1222 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1223 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1225 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1227 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1228 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1230 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1231 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1232 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1233 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1234 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1235 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1237 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1238 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1239 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1241 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1242 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1243 a future Debian install
1244 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh

1270 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1271 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1273 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1274 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1275 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1276 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1277 properly when installed standalone
1278 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1279 installed barry library
1280 - added commentary on version number system

1319 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1321 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1322 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1323 more use of the base exception to make sure no

1326 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1327 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1329 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1330 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1332 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1335 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1336 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1337 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1338 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1339 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1340 header of its own, in the case of email
1341 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1342 Record does not know the details of the packet
1343 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1344 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1345 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1346 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1347 the record format details, but does know the
1348 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1350 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1351 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1352 record formats being the same even with different
1353 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1354 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1355 See the header size of the email record after
1357 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1358 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1359 The Controller object does not know the format
1360 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1361 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1362 to talk to the device.
1363 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1365 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1367 - added sample hotplug scripts
1368 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1369 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1370 handle non-little-endian machines
1371 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1372 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1373 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1374 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1375 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1376 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1377 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1378 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1380 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1382 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1383 flags of individual blackberry device records

1390 - removed slow sync functions for now
1392 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1393 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1394 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1395 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1396 the base classes for all exceptions
1397 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1398 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1412 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1414 - old and new description
1416 - bes domain / domain
1417 - date change in legal.txt
1418 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1419 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1420 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1421 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1422 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1424 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1425 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1426 - added AUTHORS file
1427 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1428 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1429 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1479 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1480 throw exception in controller.cc
1481 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1482 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1483 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1484 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1485 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1486 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1487 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1505 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1506 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1507 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1508 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1510 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1530 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1531 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1532 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1533 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1558 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1559 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1560 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1561 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1562 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1563 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1564 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1565 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1566 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1567 seem to need more time...)
1568 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1569 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1570 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1571 with Python, if used(?)
1572 - added Message class for Email records
1573 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1574 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1603 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1604 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1605 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1606 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1607 from the Command Table
1608 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1609 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1610 the Cassis spec more closely
1611 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1612 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1613 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1616 - added Doxyfile to the project
1618 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1619 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1620 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1622 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1623 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1624 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1625 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1627 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1628 less buffer than data copied
1629 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1630 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1631 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1632 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1634 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1635 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1637 - implemented socket::Close()
1638 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1640 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1642 - added .cvsignore files to project
1643 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1646 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1647 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1649 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1650 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1651 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1653 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1654 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1655 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1656 - regular debug output
1657 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1658 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1659 - raw data dump output
1660 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1661 numbers into english (limited success)
1662 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1663 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1664 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1665 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1666 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1667 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1668 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1669 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1670 for socket 0 operations.
1671 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1675 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1676 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1677 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1678 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
