3 2007/06/28
4 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
5 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
6 in configure.ac
7 2007/06/21
8 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
9 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
10 2007/06/14
11 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
12 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
13 in general use will not break on build
14 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
15 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
16 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
17 2007/06/08
18 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
19 dependency
20 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
21 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
22 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
23 SetIds() is already there
24 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
25 and moved into record.h
26 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
27 be more mbox-like
28 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
29 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
30 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
31 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
32 2007/06/07
33 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
34 2007/06/06
35 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
36 - changes to PIN message patch:
37 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
38 - fixed tab alignment throughout
39 - removed typedef from Address struct
40 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
41 going to be a standalone type
42 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
43 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
44 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
45 backing on a field for other use
46 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
47 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
48 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
49 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
50 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
51 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
52 PIN Message so that we store both of these
53 - updated AUTHORS

106 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
107 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
108 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
109 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
110 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
111 libbarry
112 libbarry-dev
113 barry-util
114 barrybackup-gui
115 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
116 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
117 small on Debian Etch
118 - opensync plugin:
119 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
120 based on the example plugin in the opensync
121 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far

123 2007/05/04
124 - opensync plugin:
125 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
126 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error

149 - opensync plugin:
150 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
151 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
152 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
153 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
154 xml data format...
155 - added development note to README
156 2007/04/29
157 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
158 build instructions
159 - opensync plugin:
160 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
161 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
162 2007/04/27
163 - opensync module:
164 - removed some unneeded trace logs
165 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
166 m_Data pointer
167 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
168 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
169 if empty
170 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
171 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
172 2007/04/26
173 - opensync module work:
174 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
175 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
176 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
177 a hard coded calendar record state table
178 - added lots of logging throughout
179 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
180 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
181 causing another sync on the next run
182 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
183 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
184 written to the Blackberry
185 - more opensync module work:
186 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
187 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
188 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
189 the environment classes
190 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
191 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
192 2007/04/20
193 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
194 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
195 a sample configuration
196 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
197 on success (opensync module)
198 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
199 - allowed comments in the config file
200 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
201 routines are not available from the plugin side
202 2007/04/19
203 - updated gui/TODO
204 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
205 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
206 only use idProduct, and updated man page
207 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
208 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
209 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
210 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
211 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
212 and the old search didn't always work
213 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
214 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
215 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
216 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
217 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
218 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
219 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
220 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
221 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
222 search at 0
223 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
224 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
225 the vevent20 data (experimental)
226 2007/04/04
227 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
228 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
229 2007/03/30
230 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
231 if found
232 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
233 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
234 of the project
235 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
236 2007/03/29
237 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
238 - updated AUTHORS
239 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
240 FullName, even if there was no last name)
241 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
242 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
243 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
244 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
245 this special case, without relying on string length.
246 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
247 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
248 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
249 2007/03/17
250 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
251 2007/03/16
252 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
253 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
254 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
255 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
256 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
257 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
258 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
259 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
260 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
261 in some cases
262 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
263 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
264 2007/03/08
265 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
266 udev rules for the Pearl
267 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
268 functionality
269 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
270 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
271 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
272 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
273 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
274 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
275 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
276 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
277 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
278 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
279 - added license file to each package
280 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
281 discussion
282 - updated AUTHORS
283 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
284 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
285 for the bug report
286 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
287 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
288 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
289 user.
290 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
291 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
292 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
293 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
294 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
295 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
296 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
297 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
298 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
299 as a guide
300 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
301 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
302 2007/03/02
303 - version bump in:
304 - configure.ac
305 - src/Makefile.am
306 - src/version.cc
307 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
308 - src/Doxyfile
309 - rpm/barry.spec
310 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
311 for it
312 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
313 device discovery code
314 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
315 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
316 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
317 than are really available... in this case, let's
318 just ignore the missing data and assume success
319 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
320 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
321 - ReleaseChecklist update
322 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
323 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
324 dependency
326 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
327 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
328 2007/02/28
329 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
330 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
331 - added initial release maintainer scripts
332 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
333 no databases selected in configuration
334 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
335 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
336 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
337 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
338 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
339 2007/02/23
340 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
341 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
342 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
343 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
344 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
345 -v now controls this as well
346 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
347 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
348 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
349 the beginning of USB conversations
350 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
351 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
352 its sequence number behaviour
353 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
354 socket 0 level command
355 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
356 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
357 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
358 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
359 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
360 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
361 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
362 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
363 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
364 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
365 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
366 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
367 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
368 of socket 0 packets
369 - updated controller.cc:
370 - uses new socket 0 implementation
371 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
372 selecting modes, as it should use the
373 socket 0 sequence number
374 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
375 - updated some .cvsignore files
376 - updated TODO
377 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
378 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
379 - ChallengeSeed()
380 - RemainingTries()
381 - SocketResponse()
382 - SocketSqeuence()
383 - moved Command() to base Packet class
384 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
385 new PasswordChallenge struct
386 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
387 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
388 password hashing logic.
389 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
390 2007/02/22
391 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
392 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
393 - major LDIF overhaul:
394 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
395 into its own
396 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
397 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
398 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
399 contact field names
400 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
401 if necessary
402 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
403 notes fields were missed in old version if not
404 encoded
405 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
406 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
407 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
408 - large update to btool manpage
409 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
410 2007/02/15
411 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
412 - removed commented code from translate.cc
413 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
414 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
415 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
416 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
417 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
418 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
419 instead of hardcoding it.
420 2007/02/10
421 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
422 - minor tweaks to README
423 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
424 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
425 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
426 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
427 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
428 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
429 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
430 2007/02/09
431 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
432 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
433 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
434 - added iomanip to debug.h
435 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
436 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
437 2007/02/04
438 - updated AUTHORS
439 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
440 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
441 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
442 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
443 from Ian Darwin
444 2007/02/03
445 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
446 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
447 - updated AUTHORS
448 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
449 2007/02/02
450 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
451 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
452 one base class: Barry::Error
453 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
454 - added BadPassword exception
455 2007/02/01
456 - version bump in:
457 - configure.ac
458 - src/Makefile.am
459 - src/version.cc
460 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
461 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
462 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
463 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
464 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
465 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
466 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
467 in the future.
468 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
469 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
470 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
471 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
472 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
473 due to pending reads
475 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
476 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
477 2007/01/26
478 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
479 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
480 - iostream output size fixes
481 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
482 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
483 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
484 this is still experimental
485 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
486 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
487 Debian stable
488 - uncommented the about box menu handler
489 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
490 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
491 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
492 2007/01/25
493 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
494 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
495 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
496 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
497 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
498 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
499 and record objects that use it.
500 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
501 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
502 32 bits
503 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
504 This returns the default rectype that should work
505 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
506 the device, but in the case where a database has no
507 records, this info would be good to know.
508 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
509 to use GetDefaultRecType()
510 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
511 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
512 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
513 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
514 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
515 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
516 - backup GUI updates:
517 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
518 and changed the logic so the restore continues
519 even if there was a protocol error on one database
520 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
521 i.e. Backup or Restore
522 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
523 it appears to be read-only on the device
524 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
525 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
526 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
527 supported now by the library
528 2007/01/21
529 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
530 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
531 - changes to patch:
532 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
533 using the library should not care about endianness
534 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
535 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
536 install
537 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
538 for the same reason
539 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
540 Version call instead
541 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
542 - updated AUTHORS
543 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
544 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
545 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
546 2007/01/20
547 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
548 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
549 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
550 some older devices
551 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
552 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
553 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
554 through btool, for development
555 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
556 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
557 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
558 - finished implementation of GUI restore
559 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
560 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
561 exceptions need to be handled with
562 Glib::add_exception_handler()
563 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
564 - added pending gui/TODO items
565 2007/01/19
566 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
567 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
568 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
569 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
570 when we try to write to it)
571 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
572 2007/01/18
573 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
574 2007/01/13
575 - updated copyright dates for the new year
576 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
577 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
578 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
579 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
580 - updated README
581 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
582 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
583 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
584 backups only at this point
585 2007/01/11
586 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
587 - added version API, returning version number and string
588 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
589 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
590 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
591 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
592 2007/01/05
593 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
594 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
595 in probe.h)
596 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
597 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
598 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
599 leaving the device in Desktop mode
600 2007/01/04
601 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
602 different rules
603 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
604 USB product ID 6
605 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
606 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
607 2006/12/29
608 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
610 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
611 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
612 2006/12/29
613 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
614 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
615 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
616 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
617 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
618 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
619 depend on.
620 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
621 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
622 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
623 package scripts
624 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
625 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
626 a future Debian install
627 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
628 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
629 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
630 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
631 2006/12/21
632 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
633 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
634 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
635 - fixed more endian issues
636 - minor update to TODO
637 2006/12/15

652 into their own tools/ subdirectory
653 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
654 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
655 use only
656 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
657 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
658 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
659 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
660 properly when installed standalone
661 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
662 installed barry library
663 - added commentary on version number system
664 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
665 system supercedes it
666 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
667 - added library version number to autoconf build
668 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
669 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
670 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
671 option... may need to revisit this later
672 - quick installation update in README
673 2006/12/01
674 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
675 some size checks
676 - fixed endian issues in time.h

684 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
686 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
687 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
688 2006/11/23
689 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
690 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
691 from any int
692 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
693 uploading to device to fail
694 2006/11/10

702 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
703 at once
704 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
705 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
706 more use of the base exception to make sure no
707 exceptions leak into the C library code
709 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
710 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
711 2006/10/12
712 - fixed casting error in opensync module
713 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
714 2006/09/29
715 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
716 the bug report
717 2006/09/08
718 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
719 splitting the code into 3 groups:
720 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
721 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
722 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
723 header of its own, in the case of email
724 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
725 Record does not know the details of the packet
726 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
727 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
728 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
729 providing an API for it... packet does not know
730 the record format details, but does know the
731 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
732 packet format.
733 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
734 of operation formats and record formats, with the
735 record formats being the same even with different
736 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
737 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
738 See the header size of the email record after
739 refactoring.
740 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
741 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
742 The Controller object does not know the format
743 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
744 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
745 to talk to the device.
746 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
747 we come!
748 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
749 2006/09/01
750 - added sample hotplug scripts
751 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
752 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
753 handle non-little-endian machines
754 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
755 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
756 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
757 and cause a failure to reach the device...
758 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
759 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
760 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
761 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
762 engineered.
763 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
764 for smarter syncing
765 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
766 flags of individual blackberry device records
767 - added endian macros throughout the code
768 2006/07/13
769 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
770 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
771 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
772 for development)
773 - removed slow sync functions for now
774 2006/07/07
775 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
776 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
777 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
778 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
779 the base classes for all exceptions
780 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
781 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
782 2006/06/22
783 - added to Contact record class:
784 - Clear()
785 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
786 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
787 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
788 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
789 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
790 and upload it to a blackberry
791 - updated src/.cvsignore
792 2006/06/16
793 - added parsing of service book fields:
794 - old and new name
795 - old and new unique ID (UID)
796 - content ID (CID)
797 - old and new description
798 - DSID
799 - bes domain / domain
800 - date change in legal.txt
801 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
802 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
803 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
804 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
805 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
806 2006/06/09
807 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
808 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
809 - added AUTHORS file
810 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
811 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
812 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
813 2006/05/25
814 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
815 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
816 2006/05/18

825 support of the template Controller functions
826 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
827 returning errors properly
828 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
829 of Controller template member usage
830 2006/03/29
831 - copyright dates updated for 2006
832 2006/01/05
833 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

836 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
837 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
838 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
839 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
840 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
841 constants... constants are now removed
842 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
843 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
844 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

859 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
860 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
861 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
862 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
863 throw exception in controller.cc
864 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
865 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
866 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
867 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
868 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
869 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
870 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

874 - added autoconf to Todo list
875 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
876 be reused for upload and download
877 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
878 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
879 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
880 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
881 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
882 this obsolete)
883 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
884 2005/12/10
885 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
886 - added boost::serialization to build
887 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
888 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
889 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
890 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
891 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
892 properly serialized
893 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
894 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data

903 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
904 for later saving
905 2005/12/07
906 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
907 optimize away protocol struct casts
908 see:
909 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

913 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
914 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
915 structs are completely hidden in the library...
916 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
918 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
919 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
920 2005/11/25

939 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
940 2005/11/19
941 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
942 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
943 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
944 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
945 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
946 Observed maximum blank count: 1
947 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
948 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
949 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
950 seem to need more time...)
951 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
952 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
953 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
954 with Python, if used(?)
955 - added Message class for Email records
956 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
957 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
958 available, and parses it with a Parser object
959 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
960 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
961 - cleaned up comments

970 - added header comments to convo.awk script
971 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
972 better suited to its general API purpose
973 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
974 a public API function
975 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
976 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
977 the command line
978 - added mode checks to Controller
979 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
980 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
981 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
982 file based
983 2005/11/18
984 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
985 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
986 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
987 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
988 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
989 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
990 from the Command Table
991 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
992 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
993 the Cassis spec more closely
994 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
995 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
996 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
997 destructors
998 2005/11/17
999 - added Doxyfile to the project
1000 - tuned Makefile
1001 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1002 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1003 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1004 data transfers.
1005 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1006 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1007 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1008 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1009 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1010 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1011 less buffer than data copied
1012 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1013 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1014 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1015 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1016 data
1017 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1018 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1019 saved
1020 - implemented socket::Close()
1021 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1022 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1023 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1024 2005/11/11
1025 - added .cvsignore files to project
1026 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1027 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1028 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1029 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1030 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1031 -l = list only
1032 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1033 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1034 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1035 results
1036 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1037 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1038 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1039 - regular debug output
1040 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1041 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1042 - raw data dump output
1043 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1044 numbers into english (limited success)
1045 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1046 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1047 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1048 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1049 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1050 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1051 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1052 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1053 for socket 0 operations.
1054 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1055 MAKE_PACKET()
1056 COMMAND()
1057 IS_COMMAND()
1058 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1059 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1060 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1061 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1062 2005/10/20
1063 - syncberry tree started
