1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()

7 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
8 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
10 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
11 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
12 library API that is not yet finished... will be
13 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
14 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
16 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
17 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
18 the goal is to be able to do:
19 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
21 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
22 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
23 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
24 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
26 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
27 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
29 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
31 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
32 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
34 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
35 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
36 in general use will not break on build
37 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
38 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
39 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
41 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
43 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
44 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
45 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
46 SetIds() is already there
47 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
48 and moved into record.h
49 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
51 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
52 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)

54 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
56 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
58 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
59 - changes to PIN message patch:
60 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
61 - fixed tab alignment throughout
62 - removed typedef from Address struct
63 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
64 going to be a standalone type
65 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
66 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
67 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
68 backing on a field for other use
69 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
70 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
71 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
72 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
73 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
74 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
75 PIN Message so that we store both of these
78 - added item to gui/TODO
79 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
81 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme

96 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
99 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
100 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
104 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
105 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
106 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
107 linker errors with the new file layout
109 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
110 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
111 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
113 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
114 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
115 and added a command line option to turn
116 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
117 - command line option --help now also works
118 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
119 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
120 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
121 localizing the constants in one place
123 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
124 fields in Contact and Calendar records
125 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
126 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
127 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
128 Outlook from the comments.
129 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
130 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
131 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
132 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
133 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
138 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
139 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
142 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
143 based on the example plugin in the opensync
144 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
148 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
149 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
150 and then success afterward
151 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
152 - added item to gui's todo list

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

652 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
653 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
655 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
656 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
657 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

724 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
725 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
727 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
728 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
729 more use of the base exception to make sure no
730 exceptions leak into the C library code
732 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
733 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
735 - fixed casting error in opensync module
736 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
738 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
741 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
742 splitting the code into 3 groups:
743 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
744 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
745 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
746 header of its own, in the case of email
747 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
748 Record does not know the details of the packet
749 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
750 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
751 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
752 providing an API for it... packet does not know
753 the record format details, but does know the
754 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
756 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
757 of operation formats and record formats, with the
758 record formats being the same even with different
759 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
760 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
761 See the header size of the email record after
763 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
764 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
765 The Controller object does not know the format
766 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
767 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
768 to talk to the device.
769 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
771 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
773 - added sample hotplug scripts

775 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
776 handle non-little-endian machines
777 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
778 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
779 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
780 and cause a failure to reach the device...
781 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
782 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
783 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
784 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
786 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
788 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
789 flags of individual blackberry device records

800 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
801 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
802 the base classes for all exceptions
803 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
804 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

818 - old and new unique ID (UID)
820 - old and new description
822 - bes domain / domain
823 - date change in legal.txt
824 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
825 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
826 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
827 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
828 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
830 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
831 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
833 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
834 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
835 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

850 returning errors properly
851 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
852 of Controller template member usage
854 - copyright dates updated for 2006

880 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
882 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
883 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
884 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
885 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
886 throw exception in controller.cc
887 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
888 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
889 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
890 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
891 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
892 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions

913 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
914 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
916 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
917 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data

936 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
937 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
938 structs are completely hidden in the library...
939 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

964 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
965 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
966 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
967 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
968 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
969 Observed maximum blank count: 1
970 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
971 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
972 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
973 seem to need more time...)
974 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
975 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
976 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
977 with Python, if used(?)
978 - added Message class for Email records
979 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
980 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1012 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1013 from the Command Table
1014 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1015 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1016 the Cassis spec more closely
1017 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1018 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1019 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1022 - added Doxyfile to the project
1024 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1025 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1026 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent

1029 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1030 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1031 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1034 less buffer than data copied
1035 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1036 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1037 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1038 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1040 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1041 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1043 - implemented socket::Close()
1044 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1053 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1055 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1056 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1057 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1059 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1060 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1061 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1062 - regular debug output
1063 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1064 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1065 - raw data dump output
1066 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1067 numbers into english (limited success)
1068 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1069 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1070 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1071 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1072 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1073 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1074 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1075 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1076 for socket 0 operations.
1077 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1081 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1082 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1083 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1084 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1086 - syncberry tree started
