1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
5 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
6 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
7 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
8 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
11 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
13 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
16 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
17 for the broken-down name instead of N
18 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
19 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
20 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
21 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
22 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
23 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
24 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
25 registered two. Moving to single change commit
26 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
27 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
28 ease memory pressure in the library.
29 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
31 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
32 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
33 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
35 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
37 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
38 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
39 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
40 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
41 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
42 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
43 record into the device.... First/Last Name
44 fields are position sensitive, and the code
45 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
46 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
47 were not updated to handle the new field
48 table added for the postal address changes
51 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
52 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
53 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
54 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
55 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
56 UID strings, instead of just numbers
57 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
58 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
59 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
60 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
61 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
63 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
64 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
65 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
66 sync the wrong device and lose data.
67 Actions to take on new PIN:
70 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
71 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
72 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
73 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
75 - changed PIN error message number to hex
77 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
78 "Backup in progress..."
79 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
80 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
81 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
82 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
83 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
84 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
85 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
86 a new class called PostalAddress
87 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
88 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
89 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
90 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
92 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
94 - added vCard converter class
95 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
96 of empty attribute values and parameters,
97 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
98 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
99 an extra nth argument, in order to search
100 for multiple attributes with the same name...
101 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
102 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
103 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
106 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
107 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
108 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
109 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
113 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
114 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
115 new Barry ID would look like a new change
116 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
117 - added support for slow sync
118 - added clear() to idmap class
119 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
120 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
121 - added Notification time support
122 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
123 does not exist in a vformat data block
124 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
125 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
126 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
127 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
128 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
129 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
130 special cases in the future
132 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
134 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
135 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
136 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
138 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
139 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
140 library API that is not yet finished... will be
141 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
142 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
144 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
145 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
146 the goal is to be able to do:
147 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
149 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
150 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
151 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
152 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
154 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
155 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
157 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
159 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
160 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
162 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
163 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
164 in general use will not break on build
165 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
166 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
167 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
169 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
171 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
172 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
173 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
174 SetIds() is already there
175 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
176 and moved into record.h
177 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
179 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
180 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
181 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
182 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
184 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
186 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
187 - changes to PIN message patch:
188 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
189 - fixed tab alignment throughout
190 - removed typedef from Address struct
191 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
192 going to be a standalone type
193 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
194 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
195 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
196 backing on a field for other use
197 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
198 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
199 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
200 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
201 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
202 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
203 PIN Message so that we store both of these
206 - added item to gui/TODO
207 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
209 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
210 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
211 modified to split into the new separate files system
212 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
213 - reformatted the code to match coding style
215 - added copyright notice
216 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
217 - placed in Barry namespace
218 - added #ifdef header protectors
219 - added new files to Makefile.am
220 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
221 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
222 Brian Edginton's patch
223 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
224 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
227 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
228 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
232 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
233 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
234 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
235 linker errors with the new file layout
237 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
238 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
239 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
241 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
242 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
243 and added a command line option to turn
244 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
245 - command line option --help now also works
246 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
247 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
248 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
249 localizing the constants in one place
251 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
252 fields in Contact and Calendar records
253 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
254 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
255 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
256 Outlook from the comments.
257 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
258 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
259 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
260 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
261 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
266 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
267 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
270 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
271 based on the example plugin in the opensync
272 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
276 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
277 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
278 and then success afterward
279 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
280 - added item to gui's todo list
281 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
285 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
289 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02

298 - bumped release number in barry.spec
301 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
302 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
303 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
304 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
306 - added development note to README
308 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
311 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
312 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
315 - removed some unneeded trace logs
316 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
318 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
319 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
321 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
322 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
324 - opensync module work:
325 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
326 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
327 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
328 a hard coded calendar record state table
329 - added lots of logging throughout
330 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
331 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
332 causing another sync on the next run
333 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
334 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
335 written to the Blackberry
336 - more opensync module work:
337 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
338 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
339 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
340 the environment classes
341 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
342 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
344 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
345 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
346 a sample configuration
347 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
348 on success (opensync module)
349 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
350 - allowed comments in the config file
351 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
352 routines are not available from the plugin side
355 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
356 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
357 only use idProduct, and updated man page
358 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
359 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
360 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
361 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
362 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
363 and the old search didn't always work
364 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
365 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
366 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
367 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
368 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
369 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
370 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
371 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
372 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
374 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
375 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
376 the vevent20 data (experimental)
378 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
379 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
381 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
383 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
384 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
386 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
388 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
390 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
391 FullName, even if there was no last name)
392 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
393 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
394 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
395 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
396 this special case, without relying on string length.
397 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
398 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
399 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
401 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
403 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
404 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
405 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
406 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
407 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
408 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
409 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
410 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
411 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
413 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
414 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
416 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
417 udev rules for the Pearl
418 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
420 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
421 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
422 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
423 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
424 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
425 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
426 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
427 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
428 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
429 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
430 - added license file to each package
431 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
434 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
435 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
437 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
438 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
439 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
441 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
442 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
443 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
444 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
445 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
446 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
447 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
448 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
449 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
451 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
452 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
458 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
461 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
463 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
464 device discovery code
465 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
466 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
467 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
468 than are really available... in this case, let's
469 just ignore the missing data and assume success
470 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
471 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
472 - ReleaseChecklist update
473 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
474 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
477 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
478 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
480 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
481 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
482 - added initial release maintainer scripts
483 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
484 no databases selected in configuration
485 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
486 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
487 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
488 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
489 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
491 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
492 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
493 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
494 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
495 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
496 -v now controls this as well
497 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
498 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
499 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
500 the beginning of USB conversations
501 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
502 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
503 its sequence number behaviour
504 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
505 socket 0 level command
506 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
507 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
508 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
509 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
510 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
511 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
512 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
513 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
514 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
515 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
516 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
517 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
518 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
520 - updated controller.cc:
521 - uses new socket 0 implementation
522 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
523 selecting modes, as it should use the
524 socket 0 sequence number
525 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
526 - updated some .cvsignore files
528 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
529 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
534 - moved Command() to base Packet class
535 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
536 new PasswordChallenge struct
537 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
538 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
539 password hashing logic.
540 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
542 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
543 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
544 - major LDIF overhaul:
545 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
547 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
548 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
549 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
551 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
553 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
554 notes fields were missed in old version if not
556 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
557 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
558 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
559 - large update to btool manpage
560 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
562 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
563 - removed commented code from translate.cc
564 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
565 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
566 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
567 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
568 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
569 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
570 instead of hardcoding it.
572 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
573 - minor tweaks to README
574 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
575 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
576 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
577 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
578 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
579 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
580 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
582 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
583 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
584 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
585 - added iomanip to debug.h
586 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
587 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
590 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
591 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
592 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
593 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
596 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
597 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
599 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
601 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
602 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
603 one base class: Barry::Error
604 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
605 - added BadPassword exception
611 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
612 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
613 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
614 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
615 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
616 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
617 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
619 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
620 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
621 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
622 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
623 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
626 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
627 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
629 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
630 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
631 - iostream output size fixes
632 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
633 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
634 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
635 this is still experimental
636 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
637 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
639 - uncommented the about box menu handler
640 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
641 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
642 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
644 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
645 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
646 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
647 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
648 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
649 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
650 and record objects that use it.
651 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
652 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
654 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
655 This returns the default rectype that should work
656 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
657 the device, but in the case where a database has no
658 records, this info would be good to know.
659 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
660 to use GetDefaultRecType()
661 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
662 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
663 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
664 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
665 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
666 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
667 - backup GUI updates:
668 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
669 and changed the logic so the restore continues
670 even if there was a protocol error on one database
671 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
672 i.e. Backup or Restore
673 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
674 it appears to be read-only on the device
675 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
676 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
677 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
678 supported now by the library
680 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
681 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
683 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
684 using the library should not care about endianness
685 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
686 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
688 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
690 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
692 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
694 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
695 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
696 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
698 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
699 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
700 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
702 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
703 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
704 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
705 through btool, for development
706 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
707 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
708 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
709 - finished implementation of GUI restore
710 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
711 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
712 exceptions need to be handled with
713 Glib::add_exception_handler()
714 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
715 - added pending gui/TODO items
717 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
718 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
719 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
720 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
721 when we try to write to it)
722 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
724 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
726 - updated copyright dates for the new year
727 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
728 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
729 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
730 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
732 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
733 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
734 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
735 backups only at this point
737 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
738 - added version API, returning version number and string
739 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
740 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
741 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
742 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
744 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
745 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
747 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
748 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
749 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
750 leaving the device in Desktop mode
752 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
754 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
756 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
757 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
759 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
761 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
762 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
764 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
765 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
766 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
767 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
768 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
769 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
771 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
772 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
773 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
775 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
776 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
777 a future Debian install
778 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
779 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
780 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
781 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
783 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
784 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
785 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
786 - fixed more endian issues
787 - minor update to TODO
789 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
790 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
792 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
793 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template

795 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
797 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
798 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
799 on old build system if wanted
800 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
801 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
802 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
803 into their own tools/ subdirectory
804 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
805 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
807 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
808 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
809 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
810 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
811 properly when installed standalone
812 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
813 installed barry library
814 - added commentary on version number system

848 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
849 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
850 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
851 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
852 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
853 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
855 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
856 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
857 more use of the base exception to make sure no
858 exceptions leak into the C library code
860 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
861 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
863 - fixed casting error in opensync module
864 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
866 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
869 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
870 splitting the code into 3 groups:
871 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
872 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
873 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
874 header of its own, in the case of email
875 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
876 Record does not know the details of the packet
877 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
878 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
879 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
880 providing an API for it... packet does not know
881 the record format details, but does know the
882 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
884 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
885 of operation formats and record formats, with the
886 record formats being the same even with different
887 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
888 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
889 See the header size of the email record after
891 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
892 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
893 The Controller object does not know the format
894 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
895 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
896 to talk to the device.
897 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
899 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
901 - added sample hotplug scripts

903 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
904 handle non-little-endian machines
905 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
906 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
907 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
908 and cause a failure to reach the device...
909 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
910 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
911 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
912 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
914 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
916 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
917 flags of individual blackberry device records

924 - removed slow sync functions for now
926 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
927 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
928 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
929 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
930 the base classes for all exceptions
931 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
932 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

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

946 - old and new unique ID (UID)
948 - old and new description
950 - bes domain / domain
951 - date change in legal.txt
952 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
953 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
954 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
955 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
956 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
958 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
959 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
961 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
962 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
963 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
965 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
966 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

972 to the Controller class
973 - new file: controllertmpl.h
974 - documentation fixes in builder.h
975 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
976 support of the template Controller functions
977 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
978 returning errors properly
979 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
980 of Controller template member usage
982 - copyright dates updated for 2006
984 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
985 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
987 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
988 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
989 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
990 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
991 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT

1008 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1010 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1011 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1012 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1013 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1014 throw exception in controller.cc
1015 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1016 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1017 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1018 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1019 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1020 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1021 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1037 - added boost::serialization to build
1038 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1039 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1040 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1041 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1042 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1044 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1045 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1046 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1047 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1049 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc

1053 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1054 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1057 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1058 optimize away protocol struct casts

1064 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1065 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1066 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1067 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1069 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1092 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1093 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1094 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1095 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1096 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1097 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1098 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1099 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1100 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1101 seem to need more time...)
1102 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1103 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1104 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1105 with Python, if used(?)
1106 - added Message class for Email records
1107 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1108 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1125 a public API function
1126 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1127 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1129 - added mode checks to Controller
1130 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1131 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1132 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded

1136 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1137 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1138 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1139 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1140 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1141 from the Command Table
1142 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1143 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1144 the Cassis spec more closely
1145 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1146 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1147 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1150 - added Doxyfile to the project
1152 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1153 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1154 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1156 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1157 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1158 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1159 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1160 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1161 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1162 less buffer than data copied
1163 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1164 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1165 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1166 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1168 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1169 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1171 - implemented socket::Close()
1172 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1180 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1181 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1183 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1184 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1185 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1187 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1188 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1189 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1190 - regular debug output
1191 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1192 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1193 - raw data dump output
1194 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1195 numbers into english (limited success)
1196 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1197 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1198 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1199 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1200 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1201 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1202 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1203 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1204 for socket 0 operations.
1205 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1209 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1210 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1211 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1212 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1214 - syncberry tree started
