30 - old and new unique ID (UID)
32 - old and new description
35 - date change in legal.txt
36 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
37 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
38 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
39 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
40 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
42 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
43 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
45 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
46 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
47 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
49 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf

60 support of the template Controller functions

96 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
97 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
98 throw exception in controller.cc
99 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
100 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
101 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
102 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
103 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
104 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
105 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

137 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
138 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,

149 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
150 structs are completely hidden in the library...
151 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
153 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
154 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

176 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
177 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
178 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
179 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
180 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
181 Observed maximum blank count: 1
182 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
183 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
184 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
185 seem to need more time...)
186 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
187 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
188 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
189 with Python, if used(?)
190 - added Message class for Email records
191 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
192 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
193 available, and parses it with a Parser object
194 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name

205 - added header comments to convo.awk script
206 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
207 better suited to its general API purpose

209 a public API function
210 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
211 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
213 - added mode checks to Controller
214 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
215 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
216 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded

221 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
222 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
223 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
224 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
225 from the Command Table
226 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
227 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
228 the Cassis spec more closely
229 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
230 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
231 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
234 - added Doxyfile to the project
236 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
237 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
238 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
240 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
241 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
242 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
243 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
244 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
245 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
246 less buffer than data copied
247 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
248 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
249 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
250 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
252 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
253 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
255 - implemented socket::Close()
256 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
257 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
258 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
260 - added .cvsignore files to project
261 - added README notes to document the source architecture
262 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
263 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
264 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
265 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
267 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
268 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
269 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
271 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
272 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
273 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
274 - regular debug output
275 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
276 syslog someday, and never turned off)
277 - raw data dump output
278 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
279 numbers into english (limited success)
280 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
281 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
282 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
283 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
284 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
285 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
286 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
287 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
288 for socket 0 operations.
289 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
293 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
294 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
295 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
296 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
298 - syncberry tree started
