1 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/08/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/09/20
4 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
5 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
6 for opensuse rpm builds
7 2007/09/13
8 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
9 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
10 - fixed build target to i386
11 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
12 of overwriting it
13 2007/09/07
14 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
15 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
16 will be updated more frequently
17 2007/09/05
18 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
19 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
20 configure scripts to support external build directories
21 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
22 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
23 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
24 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
25 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
26 maintainer script
27 2007/08/24
28 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
29 parse the comma separated string into an array,
30 and back
31 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
32 and will affect backward compatibility with
33 old serialization datafiles
34 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
35 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
36 2007/08/23
37 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
38 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
39 to throw it on error
40 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
41 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
42 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
43 - fixed in opensync plugin:
44 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
45 so added lower case conversion routine
46 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
47 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
48 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
49 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
50 2007/08/20
51 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
52 - added status message to endpoint override
53 2007/08/18
54 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
55 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
56 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
57 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
58 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
59 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
60 the gory details.
61 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
62 The description is now part of the probe results
63 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
64 a new attribute definition.
65 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
66 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
67 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
68 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
69 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
70 in order to better support SWIG and Python
71 2007/08/17
72 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
73 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
74 settings automatically where possible
75 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
76 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
77 2007/08/16
78 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
79 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
80 error.cc is now an empty shell
81 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
82 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
83 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
84 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
85 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
86 2007/08/09
87 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
88 - version bump:
89 - configure.ac
90 - src/Makefile.am
91 - src/version.cc
92 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
93 - src/Doxygen
94 - rpm/barry.spec
95 - debian/changelog
96 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
97 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
98 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
100 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
101 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102 2007/08/03
103 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
104 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
105 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
106 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
107 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
108 devices
109 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
110 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
111 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
112 endian bug in the process)
113 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
114 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
115 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
116 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
117 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
118 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
119 - opensync-plugin/README update
120 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
121 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
122 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
123 2007/08/01
124 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
125 2007/07/28
126 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
127 2007/07/27
128 - opensync plugin:
129 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
130 for the broken-down name instead of N
131 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
132 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
133 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
134 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
135 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
136 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
137 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
138 registered two. Moving to single change commit
139 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
140 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
141 ease memory pressure in the library.
142 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
143 syncing completion
144 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
145 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
146 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
147 2007/07/26
148 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
149 requiring a file
150 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
151 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
152 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
153 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
154 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
155 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
156 record into the device.... First/Last Name
157 fields are position sensitive, and the code
158 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
159 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
160 were not updated to handle the new field
161 table added for the postal address changes
162 on 2007/07/20, oops
163 - opensync plugin:
164 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
165 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
166 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
167 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
168 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
169 UID strings, instead of just numbers
170 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
171 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
172 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
173 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
174 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
175 automatically
176 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
177 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
178 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
179 sync the wrong device and lose data.
180 Actions to take on new PIN:
181 - force slow_sync, or
182 - fail
183 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
184 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
185 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
186 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
187 and didn't write
188 - changed PIN error message number to hex
189 2007/07/20
190 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
191 "Backup in progress..."
192 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
193 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
194 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
195 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
196 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
197 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
198 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
199 a new class called PostalAddress
200 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
201 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
202 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
203 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
204 - opensync plugin:
205 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
206 called vBase
207 - added vCard converter class
208 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
209 of empty attribute values and parameters,
210 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
211 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
212 an extra nth argument, in order to search
213 for multiple attributes with the same name...
214 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
215 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
216 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
217 pain
218 2007/07/19
219 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
220 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
221 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
222 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
223 Blackberries.
224 2007/07/14
225 - opensync plugin:
226 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
227 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
228 new Barry ID would look like a new change
229 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
230 - added support for slow sync
231 - added clear() to idmap class
232 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
233 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
234 - added Notification time support
235 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
236 does not exist in a vformat data block
237 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
238 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
239 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
240 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
241 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
242 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
243 special cases in the future
244 2007/07/13
245 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
246 2007/07/12
247 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
248 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
249 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
250 2007/07/06
251 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
252 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
253 library API that is not yet finished... will be
254 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
255 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
256 2007/06/29
257 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
258 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
259 the goal is to be able to do:
260 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
261 mutt -f email.mbox
262 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
263 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
264 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
265 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
266 2007/06/28
267 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
268 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
269 in configure.ac
270 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
271 2007/06/21
272 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
273 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
274 2007/06/14
275 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
276 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
277 in general use will not break on build
278 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
279 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
280 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
281 2007/06/08
282 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
283 dependency
284 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
285 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
286 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
287 SetIds() is already there
288 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
289 and moved into record.h
290 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
291 be more mbox-like
292 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
293 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
294 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
295 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
296 2007/06/07
297 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
298 2007/06/06
299 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
300 - changes to PIN message patch:
301 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
302 - fixed tab alignment throughout
303 - removed typedef from Address struct
304 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
305 going to be a standalone type
306 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
307 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
308 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
309 backing on a field for other use
310 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
311 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
312 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
313 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
314 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
315 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
316 PIN Message so that we store both of these
317 - updated AUTHORS
318 2007/05/27
319 - added item to gui/TODO
320 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
321 2007/05/25
322 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
323 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
324 modified to split into the new separate files system
325 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
326 - reformatted the code to match coding style
327 (come on Brian) :-)
328 - added copyright notice
329 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
330 - placed in Barry namespace
331 - added #ifdef header protectors
332 - added new files to Makefile.am
333 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
334 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
335 Brian Edginton's patch
336 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
337 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
338 - updated AUTHORS
339 2007/05/24
340 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
341 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
342 - ClassFlag
343 - FreeBusyFlag
344 - Clear() fixes
345 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
346 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
347 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
348 linker errors with the new file layout
349 2007/05/17
350 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
351 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
352 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
353 - backup gui:
354 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
355 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
356 and added a command line option to turn
357 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
358 - command line option --help now also works
359 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
360 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
361 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
362 localizing the constants in one place
363 2007/05/11
364 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
365 fields in Contact and Calendar records
366 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
367 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
368 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
369 Outlook from the comments.
370 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
371 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
372 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
373 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
374 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
375 libbarry
376 libbarry-dev
377 barry-util
378 barrybackup-gui
379 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
380 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
381 small on Debian Etch
382 - opensync plugin:
383 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
384 based on the example plugin in the opensync
385 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
386 is incomplete
387 2007/05/04
388 - opensync plugin:
389 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
390 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
391 and then success afterward
392 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
393 - added item to gui's todo list
394 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
395 - configure.ac
396 - src/Makefile.am
397 - src/version.cc
398 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
399 - src/Doxygen
400 - rpm/barry*.spec
402 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
403 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
404 2007/05/02
405 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
406 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
407 - updated maintainer/README
408 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
409 2007/05/01
410 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
411 - bumped release number in barry.spec
412 2007/04/30
413 - opensync plugin:
414 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
415 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
416 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
417 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
418 xml data format...
419 - added development note to README
420 2007/04/29
421 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
422 build instructions
423 - opensync plugin:
424 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
425 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
426 2007/04/27
427 - opensync module:
428 - removed some unneeded trace logs
429 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
430 m_Data pointer
431 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
432 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
433 if empty
434 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
435 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
436 2007/04/26
437 - opensync module work:
438 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
439 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
440 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
441 a hard coded calendar record state table
442 - added lots of logging throughout
443 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
444 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
445 causing another sync on the next run
446 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
447 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
448 written to the Blackberry
449 - more opensync module work:
450 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
451 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
452 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
453 the environment classes
454 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
455 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
456 2007/04/20
457 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
458 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
459 a sample configuration
460 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
461 on success (opensync module)
462 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
463 - allowed comments in the config file
464 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
465 routines are not available from the plugin side
466 2007/04/19
467 - updated gui/TODO
468 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
469 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
470 only use idProduct, and updated man page
471 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
472 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
473 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
474 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
475 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
476 and the old search didn't always work
477 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
478 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
479 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
480 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
481 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
482 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
483 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
484 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
485 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
486 search at 0
487 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
488 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
489 the vevent20 data (experimental)
490 2007/04/04
491 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
492 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
493 2007/03/30
494 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
495 if found
496 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
497 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
498 of the project
499 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
500 2007/03/29
501 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
502 - updated AUTHORS
503 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
504 FullName, even if there was no last name)
505 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
506 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
507 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
508 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
509 this special case, without relying on string length.
510 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
511 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
512 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
513 2007/03/17
514 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
515 2007/03/16
516 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
517 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
518 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
519 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
520 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
521 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
522 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
523 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
524 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
525 in some cases
526 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
527 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
528 2007/03/08
529 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
530 udev rules for the Pearl
531 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
532 functionality
533 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
534 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
535 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
536 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
537 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
538 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
539 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
540 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
541 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
542 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
543 - added license file to each package
544 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
545 discussion
546 - updated AUTHORS
547 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
548 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
549 for the bug report
550 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
551 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
552 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
553 user.
554 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
555 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
556 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
557 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
558 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
559 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
560 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
561 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
562 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
563 as a guide
564 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
565 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
566 2007/03/02
567 - version bump in:
568 - configure.ac
569 - src/Makefile.am
570 - src/version.cc
571 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
572 - src/Doxyfile
573 - rpm/barry.spec
574 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
575 for it
576 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
577 device discovery code
578 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
579 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
580 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
581 than are really available... in this case, let's
582 just ignore the missing data and assume success
583 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
584 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
585 - ReleaseChecklist update
586 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
587 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
588 dependency
590 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
591 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
592 2007/02/28
593 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
594 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
595 - added initial release maintainer scripts
596 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
597 no databases selected in configuration
598 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
599 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
600 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
601 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
602 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
603 2007/02/23
604 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
605 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
606 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
607 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
608 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
609 -v now controls this as well
610 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
611 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
612 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
613 the beginning of USB conversations
614 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
615 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
616 its sequence number behaviour
617 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
618 socket 0 level command
619 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
620 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
621 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
622 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
623 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
624 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
625 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
626 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
627 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
628 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
629 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
630 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
631 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
632 of socket 0 packets
633 - updated controller.cc:
634 - uses new socket 0 implementation
635 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
636 selecting modes, as it should use the
637 socket 0 sequence number
638 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
639 - updated some .cvsignore files
640 - updated TODO
641 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
642 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
643 - ChallengeSeed()
644 - RemainingTries()
645 - SocketResponse()
646 - SocketSqeuence()
647 - moved Command() to base Packet class
648 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
649 new PasswordChallenge struct
650 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
651 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
652 password hashing logic.
653 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
654 2007/02/22
655 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
656 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
657 - major LDIF overhaul:
658 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
659 into its own
660 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
661 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
662 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
663 contact field names
664 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
665 if necessary
666 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
667 notes fields were missed in old version if not
668 encoded
669 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
670 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
671 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
672 - large update to btool manpage
673 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
674 2007/02/15
675 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
676 - removed commented code from translate.cc
677 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
678 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
679 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
680 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
681 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
682 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
683 instead of hardcoding it.
684 2007/02/10
685 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
686 - minor tweaks to README
687 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
688 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
689 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
690 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
691 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
692 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
693 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
694 2007/02/09
695 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
696 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
697 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
698 - added iomanip to debug.h
699 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
700 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
701 2007/02/04
702 - updated AUTHORS
703 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
704 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
705 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
706 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
707 from Ian Darwin
708 2007/02/03
709 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
710 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
711 - updated AUTHORS
712 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
713 2007/02/02
714 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
715 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
716 one base class: Barry::Error
717 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
718 - added BadPassword exception
719 2007/02/01
720 - version bump in:
721 - configure.ac
722 - src/Makefile.am
723 - src/version.cc
724 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
725 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
726 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
727 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
728 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
729 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
730 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
731 in the future.
732 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
733 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
734 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
735 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
736 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
737 due to pending reads
739 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
740 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
741 2007/01/26
742 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
743 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
744 - iostream output size fixes
745 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
746 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
747 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
748 this is still experimental
749 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
750 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
751 Debian stable
752 - uncommented the about box menu handler
753 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
754 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
755 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
756 2007/01/25
757 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
758 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
759 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
760 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
761 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
762 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
763 and record objects that use it.
764 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
765 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
766 32 bits
767 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
768 This returns the default rectype that should work
769 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
770 the device, but in the case where a database has no
771 records, this info would be good to know.
772 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
773 to use GetDefaultRecType()
774 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
775 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
776 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
777 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
778 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
779 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
780 - backup GUI updates:
781 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
782 and changed the logic so the restore continues
783 even if there was a protocol error on one database
784 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
785 i.e. Backup or Restore
786 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
787 it appears to be read-only on the device
788 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
789 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
790 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
791 supported now by the library
792 2007/01/21
793 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
794 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
795 - changes to patch:
796 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
797 using the library should not care about endianness
798 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
799 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
800 install
801 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
802 for the same reason
803 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
804 Version call instead
805 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
806 - updated AUTHORS
807 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
808 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
809 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
810 2007/01/20
811 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
812 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
813 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
814 some older devices
815 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
816 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
817 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
818 through btool, for development
819 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
820 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
821 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
822 - finished implementation of GUI restore
823 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
824 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
825 exceptions need to be handled with
826 Glib::add_exception_handler()
827 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
828 - added pending gui/TODO items
829 2007/01/19
830 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
831 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
832 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
833 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
834 when we try to write to it)
835 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
836 2007/01/18
837 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
838 2007/01/13
839 - updated copyright dates for the new year
840 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
841 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
842 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
843 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
844 - updated README
845 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
846 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
847 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
848 backups only at this point
849 2007/01/11
850 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
851 - added version API, returning version number and string
852 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
853 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
854 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
855 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
856 2007/01/05
857 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
858 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
859 in probe.h)
860 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
861 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
862 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
863 leaving the device in Desktop mode
864 2007/01/04
865 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
866 different rules
867 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
868 USB product ID 6
869 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
870 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
871 2006/12/29
872 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
874 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
875 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
876 2006/12/29
877 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
878 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
879 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
880 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
881 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
882 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
883 depend on.
884 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
885 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
886 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
887 package scripts
888 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
889 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
890 a future Debian install
891 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
892 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
893 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
894 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
895 2006/12/21
896 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
897 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
898 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
899 - fixed more endian issues
900 - minor update to TODO
901 2006/12/15
902 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
903 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
904 2006/12/08
905 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
906 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
907 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
908 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
909 2006/12/07
910 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch

912 on old build system if wanted
913 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
914 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
915 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
916 into their own tools/ subdirectory
917 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
918 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
919 use only
920 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
921 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
922 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
923 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
924 properly when installed standalone
925 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
926 installed barry library
927 - added commentary on version number system
928 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
929 system supercedes it
930 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
931 - added library version number to autoconf build
932 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
933 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
934 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
935 option... may need to revisit this later
936 - quick installation update in README
937 2006/12/01
938 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
939 some size checks
940 - fixed endian issues in time.h
941 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
942 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
943 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
944 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
945 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
946 2006/11/24
947 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
948 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
950 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
951 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
952 2006/11/23
953 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
954 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
955 from any int
956 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused

966 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
967 at once
968 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
969 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
970 more use of the base exception to make sure no
971 exceptions leak into the C library code
973 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
974 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
975 2006/10/12
976 - fixed casting error in opensync module
977 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
978 2006/09/29
979 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
980 the bug report
981 2006/09/08
982 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
983 splitting the code into 3 groups:
984 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
985 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
986 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
987 header of its own, in the case of email
988 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
989 Record does not know the details of the packet
990 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
991 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
992 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
993 providing an API for it... packet does not know
994 the record format details, but does know the
995 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
996 packet format.
997 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
998 of operation formats and record formats, with the
999 record formats being the same even with different
1000 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1001 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1002 See the header size of the email record after
1003 refactoring.
1004 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1005 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1006 The Controller object does not know the format
1007 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1008 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1009 to talk to the device.
1010 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1011 we come!
1012 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1013 2006/09/01
1014 - added sample hotplug scripts
1015 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1016 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1017 handle non-little-endian machines
1018 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1019 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1020 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1021 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1022 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1023 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1024 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1025 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1026 engineered.
1027 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1028 for smarter syncing
1029 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1030 flags of individual blackberry device records
1031 - added endian macros throughout the code
1032 2006/07/13
1033 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean

1036 for development)
1037 - removed slow sync functions for now
1038 2006/07/07
1039 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1040 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1041 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1042 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1043 the base classes for all exceptions
1044 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1045 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1046 2006/06/22
1047 - added to Contact record class:
1048 - Clear()

1050 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1051 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1052 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1053 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1054 and upload it to a blackberry
1055 - updated src/.cvsignore
1056 2006/06/16
1057 - added parsing of service book fields:
1058 - old and new name

1060 - content ID (CID)
1061 - old and new description
1062 - DSID
1063 - bes domain / domain
1064 - date change in legal.txt
1065 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1066 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1067 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1068 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1069 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1070 2006/06/09
1071 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1072 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1073 - added AUTHORS file
1074 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1075 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1076 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1077 2006/05/25

1095 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1096 2006/01/05
1097 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1098 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1100 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1101 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1102 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1103 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1104 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1105 constants... constants are now removed
1106 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1107 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)

1124 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1125 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1126 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1127 throw exception in controller.cc
1128 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1129 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1130 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1131 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1132 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1133 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1134 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1143 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1144 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
1145 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
1146 this obsolete)

1148 2005/12/10
1149 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
1150 - added boost::serialization to build
1151 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1152 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1153 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1154 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1155 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1156 properly serialized
1157 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1158 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data

1171 optimize away protocol struct casts
1172 see:
1173 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

1177 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1178 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1179 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1180 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1182 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1183 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1204 2005/11/19
1205 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1206 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1207 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1208 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1209 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1210 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1211 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1212 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1213 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1214 seem to need more time...)
1215 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1216 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1217 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1218 with Python, if used(?)
1219 - added Message class for Email records
1220 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1221 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1222 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1223 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1224 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1225 - cleaned up comments

1235 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1236 better suited to its general API purpose
1237 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1238 a public API function
1239 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1240 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1241 the command line
1242 - added mode checks to Controller
1243 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1244 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

1249 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1250 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1251 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1252 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1253 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1254 from the Command Table
1255 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1256 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1257 the Cassis spec more closely
1258 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1259 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1260 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1261 destructors
1262 2005/11/17
1263 - added Doxyfile to the project
1264 - tuned Makefile
1265 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1266 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1267 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1268 data transfers.
1269 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1270 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1271 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1272 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1273 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1274 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1275 less buffer than data copied
1276 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1277 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1278 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1279 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1280 data
1281 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1282 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1283 saved
1284 - implemented socket::Close()
1285 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1286 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1287 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1288 2005/11/11
1289 - added .cvsignore files to project
1290 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1291 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1292 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1293 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1294 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1295 -l = list only
1296 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1297 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1298 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1299 results
1300 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1301 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1302 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1303 - regular debug output
1304 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1305 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1306 - raw data dump output
1307 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1308 numbers into english (limited success)
1309 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1310 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1311 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1312 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1313 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1314 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1315 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1316 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1317 for socket 0 operations.
1318 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1319 MAKE_PACKET()
1320 COMMAND()
1321 IS_COMMAND()
1322 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1323 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1324 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1325 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1326 2005/10/20
1327 - syncberry tree started
