1 Release: version 0.15 - 2008/10/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - large refactoring of all message/email record classes, and more
5 There is now a MessageBase base class, which combines
6 common email record parsing code in one class. This base
7 class is reused by all the specific messages record classes.
8 This commit also includes support for multiple email
9 addresses per email, as well as giving IConverter support
10 to all message classes.
11 - deleted empty *.cc files from project
12 - updated TODO file, removing opensync i18n bug
14 - updated man/btool.1 with new -i option
15 - fixed bug where opensync plugin didn't pass IConverter to Desktop
16 - added IConverter support to r_calendar.cc
17 - renamed utf8Needed to iconvNeeded, for consistency
18 - added IConverter support to r_folder.cc
19 - added IConverter support to r_memo.cc
20 - added IConverter support to r_message.cc
21 - added EmailAddressList, in preparation for multi-address email
23 - changed Parser base class to pure abstract... this is so that
24 future API changes to the Parse base class will be
25 detected by the compiler as errors
26 - added NullParser class, which performs the old Parser function
27 - changed all FieldLink arrays to static
28 - added new IConverter class to support converting the Blackberry's
29 WINDOWS-1252 charset to/from UTF-8 and more
30 - fixed bug in IConverter that saved end of string instead of
32 - reorganized barry.h app header and record.h header, so that
33 internal builds have fewer dependencies
34 - large parser/builder API change, adding IConverter support
35 This change starts at the top (Mode::Desktop) which
36 takes an optional IConverter object for parsing and
37 building conversions. The Desktop class passes
38 this IConverter object to Packet, Parser, and Builder (and
39 thereby, the corresponding Record classes) as needed.
40 This adds an extra pointer to a fair number of calls
41 in the stack, but maintains flexibility without putting
42 too much of a burden on Parser writers, which could be
44 The primary use of this architecture is to pass in an
45 IConverter configured to convert to UTF-8... this is
46 basically the only useful conversion method, but others
47 are possible if you want to play.
48 - first record class to support string conversions: Contact
49 - reverted the barry.h and record.h reorganization, since
51 - reorganized barry.h and record.h again, making inclusion of
52 the record headers dependent on whether it is a library
54 - updated the gui with the parser/builder API change
55 - added IConverter to opensync plugin, set to UTF-8
57 - added comment to src/r_contact.h deprecating the Phone field
58 - updated Doxyfile to 1.5.1
59 - added Christopher D. Stover to AUTHORS file as Fedora contact
61 - forgot #include <string.h> for memcpy/memset in tools/bfuse.cc
62 - moved bfuse install point from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin
64 - added FUSE filesystem "driver"
66 - commented out the info.subsystem match level in HAL FDI file...
67 this should let the FDI work on old and new systems.
68 HAL version 0.5.8 (used by Debian Etch) has the deprecated
69 info.bus property, and doesn't have info.subsystem yet.
70 - added HAL FDI scripts to rpm/barry.spec
71 - fixed tools/Makefile.plain
73 - added support for multiple work/home phone numbers to the
75 - Thanks to Richard Esplin for his test data.
76 - This fix has a conflict when a cell phone number is
77 marked as the preferred contact as well.
78 See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=20081030231045.GA28989%40foursquare.net
80 - This fix also changes the VCARD output... pager phone
81 numbers are given the TYPE code of "pager"
83 - Added OtherPhone field as well
85 - applied HAL FDI scripts and configuration from Martin Owens
86 - updated AUTHORS file
87 - added HAL FDI and python script to Debian package install
89 - updated copyright notice and help text in contrib/modemtest.rb
90 - changed barry-verizon.chat script according to Andy Herkey's
91 recommendation... this worked much better for Michael L.
92 Stokes, since his provider was getting stuck on the ATZ
94 - applied Andy Herkey's modemtest.rb ruby script to contrib/
95 from his Aug 9, 2008 email to the mailing list
96 - applied Andy Herkey's new modemtest.rb script to contrib/
97 from his Oct 8, 2008 email to the mailing list
98 - added password pass-through code for pppob -s mode
99 - clarified front page www doc, adding date of last release
101 - cherry-picked changes from Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo's debian git repo
102 - debian/rules was stripping wrong library names
103 - FSF address was incorrect (also updated other source
104 files throughout the tree myself)
105 - more complete debian/copyright file
111 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
115 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
116 - added link to doxygen documentation to www index.php

122 official Debian packages which start at 0.14-1
123 - moved Doxyfile from src/Makefile.am to Makefile.am
124 - made RPM spec file match debian version number
125 - www documentation updates for 0.14

131 - added notes in ReleaseChecklist.txt regarding the new tarball
132 tags in the git repos
134 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
135 - moving items from private todo list to TODO file
136 - removed unused variable from maintainer/git-release-tar.sh
137 - added new maintainer/git-tagged-tar.sh, which puts more data
138 in the git repo, to make it easier for official Debian
140 - moved src/Doxyfile to ./Doxyfile to avoid ".." in the config...
141 the ".." paths confused doxygen and caused it to generate
142 non-relative paths in the documentation.
143 - added umask to maintainer/git-extract.sh, so it works even without
145 - updated maintainer/tar-prepare.sh to match the new Doxyfile
146 - added maintainer/tagged-release.sh, as replacement for the
147 release.sh top level script, when using git
148 - removed CVS-style ID code from contrib/barry-unbind-storage.sh
149 since it made it look like cdfrey wrote it
150 - removed doc/CodingStyle.txt as it is now documented in html
152 - added device name and backup label support to the GUI
153 It is now possible to name devices, instead of just
154 operating by PIN number, and it is possible to now
155 add a text label to the backup tar filenames.
156 - added the device names to the device selection dialog
158 - updated TODO list with i18n opensync bug and general i18n support
159 - added test suite to TODO list
161 - renamed libbarry to libbarry0 in rpm/barry.spec
162 - added %dump to rpm/barry.spec to match the OBS version
163 Makes it easier to track variable changes across
165 - added note to NEWS regarding binary package renaming
167 - fixed logic error in breset that displayed error on success
168 Thanks to Richard Esplin for reporting this bug.
169 - applied commit's from Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo's debian git repo
170 git://git.debian.org/git/users/jsogo/barry.git
171 - Add binary dependency of libbarry-dev on libusb-dev
172 - Rename libbarry to libbarry0, per debian policy
173 - Add exact dependency on binary:Version for every
174 -dbg and -dev package
175 - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0
177 - clarified barrybackup error message when no records available
178 Added a check so that "no databases selected" and
179 "no records available" are two distinct error messages.
181 - applied ppp chat script patch from Mick Reed
182 - updated RPM and Debian packages with new tmobileus ppp scripts
183 - added T-Mobile US to web documentation
185 - clarified sync docs regarding slow-sync... avoid it if possible
186 - tuned doxygen config, and moved generated files to doc/www/doxygen
187 - added git-release-tar.sh, replacing CVS's make-release-tar.sh
188 Also added doxygen to the release tarball creation, so
189 the source code's doxygen documentation is automatically
190 generated upon release.
191 - split git-release-tar.sh into reusable component scripts
193 - added exception handler for invalid command line options in GUI
194 - fixed barrybackup man page, removing bad -v option
195 - added distro section to AUTHORS
196 - fixed comment and whitespace problems in time.{h,cc}
197 - Converted Birthday from string to Date, and added Anniversary
198 support. Birthday and Anniversary fields now use a new
199 Date struct, and Barry validates the data to some extent.
200 - updated example code and opensync plugin to match
201 - applied Lee Dixon's Location and Description plugin patch,
202 with minor whitespace edits
204 - added Birthday field to examples/addcontact.cc for testing
206 - applied Lee Dixon's Birthday field and opensync patch
207 - fixed coding format issues
210 - fixed bug in m_ipmodem.cc that included a null terminator in
212 - fixed RFC 2426 conformance bug... RFC 2426, 3.1.1 states that FN
213 MUST be present in the vcard object. If there is no name
214 available, then we use the Company name if available. It
215 should be, since the Blackberry requires either name or Company
216 in order to create a new address. If Company is blank too, then
217 we insert "(Blank Name)".
218 - On the flip side of this same bug, it is possible to receive
219 non-conformant vcard data from evolution / opensync
220 that does not include FN. Since the Blackberry
221 doesn't require this information, remove the
222 exception, and only throw an exception if FN
223 or Company are both blank.
224 - REVERT: removed the Company and "(Blank Name)" workarounds,
225 and just produce an invalid vcard if no full name,
226 since with multiple syncing, this will come back
227 to bite us with duplicated Company name data
228 - added sanity check to contact class for blank name and company
229 - added BadData exception class, and documented it
231 - fixed bug in vAttr::GetValue that ignored index for single valued
232 attributes... this should fix the endless loop / memory
233 exhaustion that some people have been seeing
234 Thanks to Lee Dixon for reporting this bug in detail!
235 - added TODO list item for implementing recurring calendar items
241 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
245 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
246 - updated web docs showing how to set the password when using modem
247 - added section to docs on how to test the modem connection
249 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/07/28

256 - added O2 Ireland to list of modem scripts
257 - removed ubuntu80464 and fc6 from binary package list
261 - applied barry-unbind-storage.sh script from Niels de Vos...
262 added to contrib for now, in the interests of getting
263 version 0.13 released soon... we can work on integrating
264 this better in 0.14, which hopefully won't take so long :-)
266 - added g++ (>= 4.1) to Debian build dependency list
267 - added support to base library and utilities for multiple email
268 addresses in Contact records
269 - added opensync support for multiple contact email addresses
270 - applied ppp chat scripts for O2 Ireland from Simon Kenyon
272 - integrated O2 Ireland scripts into binary package installs
274 - applied David Mansfield's opensync module password patch (ported
275 manually to latest upcoming 0.13)
277 - added password documentation to sample barry-sync module config
278 - updated web docs with new password sample config
280 - removed old, unused spec file and scripts for bcharge-only release
281 - fixed rpm build instructions in web docs
282 - reduced minimum password retry level from 6 to 3... Reinhold Schoeb
283 reports that his 8800 device only lets him set a password
284 retry range between 3 and 5, instead of the usual 10 that
287 - added "known issues" section to main www doc page
288 - fixed virtual function mis-name bug in btool's null parser
289 - added -i option to brecsum, to include record IDs in the sums
290 - applied Ashley Willis's btool 0.12 null parser patch to CVS, which
291 required some manual porting changes...
292 - removed bool reference argument in GetParser()
294 - applied Ashley Willis's perlbarry package, putting it in the
295 new contrib/ directory
297 - now that btool patch is applied, don't need it in contrib
298 - removed openssl from dependencies documentation, as barry now
299 has its own sha1 code
300 - added libtool to dependencies documentation
301 - rpm/barry.spec file now assumes gui and opensync, with conditional
302 checks depending which system it is being built on...
303 --with gui and --with opensync are no longer needed.
304 - updated release scripts to build RPMs with the new spec file
306 - updated udev rules to recognize devices with the 8004 Product ID
307 - fixed bug in test/buildtest.sh when opensync is not pre-built

321 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
322 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
323 headers, as it is an internal header only
324 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
325 - added -j option to make to speed builds
326 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
327 clean up after itself
328 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
329 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
330 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
331 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
332 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
333 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
335 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
336 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
338 - added beginnings of a build system test script
339 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am

355 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
356 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
357 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
358 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
361 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
362 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
363 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
364 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
365 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
366 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
367 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
368 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
370 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD

422 them automatically in binary packages
423 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
424 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
426 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
427 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
428 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
429 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
430 such as with pppob...
431 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
432 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
433 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
434 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
435 order (no code change, only move)
436 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
437 possible to determine whether a program is using
438 threaded or non-threaded sockets
439 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
440 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
441 and updated the man page
442 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
443 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
446 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
447 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class

450 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
451 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
452 IpModem endpoints are available
453 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
454 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
455 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
456 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
457 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
459 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
460 to file instead of stderr
461 - added man page for pppob
463 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
464 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
466 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
469 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
470 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
471 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
472 I'm looking at you...)
473 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
474 if no command line arguments are specified
475 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
476 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
478 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
479 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
480 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
481 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
482 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
483 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,

485 like a null terminated string... also added more
486 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
487 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
488 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
489 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
490 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
491 on database records, for testing
492 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
493 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
494 which completes builder support
495 Checksums from the following commands now match:
496 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
497 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
498 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
499 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
500 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
502 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
503 work again... Thanks!
504 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
507 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
508 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
509 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
512 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
515 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
516 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

608 - removed FIXME in router.*
609 - removed pthread header from pppob as it is not needed
611 - merged HEAD changes
613 - merged HEAD changes
615 - branch started, to track development of the new socket
616 architecture, and new mode architecture, needed
617 to support GPRS modem support, and threaded
619 - committed work-in-progress... does not compile
622 - added Tasks and Memos to TODO list
624 - added support for Blackberry 8120, which has a unique Product ID
625 Sourceforge tracker ID: 1829537
627 - removed TimeZones from TODO list, as it is done
633 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
637 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
638 - added GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are visible
639 in the shared library, libbarry... this makes a drastic
640 reduction in the symbol table, and should avoid future
641 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
642 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
644 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
645 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
647 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
648 to avoid the CVS directories
649 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
650 diff.gz and dsc files
651 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
652 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
655 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
656 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
657 real opensync libraries
659 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
660 building RPM's from CVS
661 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
662 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
663 on ./configure command line
665 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
666 so that the database name is stored as the first line
668 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
670 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
671 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
673 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
674 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
676 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
677 Paul Dugas for the tip
679 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
680 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
681 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
682 - updated AUTHORS file
684 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
685 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
686 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
687 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
688 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
689 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
690 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
691 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
693 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
694 - updated copyright statments for 2008
696 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
698 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
699 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
704 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
708 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
711 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
712 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
714 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
715 - added pause to maintainer release script
721 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
725 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
727 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
728 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
730 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
731 search by busname / devname
732 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
733 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
734 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
735 bus/device names, and updated the man page
736 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
737 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
738 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
739 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
740 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
741 spec file for opensuse
743 - added better error checking to breset
744 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
745 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
746 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
747 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
748 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
749 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
750 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
752 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
753 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
754 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
755 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
756 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
757 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
758 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
759 make applications look more capable, not less.
760 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
761 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
762 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
765 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
766 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
769 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
770 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
771 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
772 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
773 at the same time as usb_storage.
774 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
775 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
776 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
777 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
778 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
779 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
780 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
781 fail naturally on these devices.
782 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
784 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
785 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
787 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
788 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
790 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
792 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
793 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
794 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
795 that release package builds can be done faster
797 - opensync plugin fixes:
798 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
799 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
800 and keep track of the hierarchy when
801 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
802 - added support for searching for attributes only
803 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
804 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
806 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
807 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
808 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
809 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
810 ToBarry conversion results
811 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
813 - fixed typo in previous fix
815 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
816 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
817 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
822 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
826 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
827 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
829 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
830 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
831 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
832 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
834 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
835 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
837 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
838 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
839 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
840 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
841 without recompiling the kernel.
842 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
844 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
845 information in README files to html format, so that it
846 is commonly available on the web
847 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
848 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
850 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
851 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
854 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
855 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
856 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
857 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
858 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
859 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
860 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
861 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
862 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
863 explanatory document for various system requirements
864 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
866 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
867 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
868 for opensuse rpm builds
870 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
871 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
872 - fixed build target to i386
873 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
876 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
877 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
878 will be updated more frequently
880 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
881 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
882 configure scripts to support external build directories
883 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
884 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
885 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
886 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
887 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
890 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
891 parse the comma separated string into an array,
893 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
894 and will affect backward compatibility with
895 old serialization datafiles
896 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
897 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
899 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
900 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
902 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
903 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
904 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
905 - fixed in opensync plugin:
906 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
907 so added lower case conversion routine
908 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
909 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
910 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
911 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
913 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
914 - added status message to endpoint override
916 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
917 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
918 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
919 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
920 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
921 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
923 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
924 The description is now part of the probe results
925 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
926 a new attribute definition.
927 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
928 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
929 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
930 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
931 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
932 in order to better support SWIG and Python
934 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
935 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
936 settings automatically where possible
937 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
938 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
940 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
941 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
942 error.cc is now an empty shell
943 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
944 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
945 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
946 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
947 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
949 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
954 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
958 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
959 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
960 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
962 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
963 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
965 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
966 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
967 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
968 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
969 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
971 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
972 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
973 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
974 endian bug in the process)
975 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
976 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
977 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
978 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
979 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
980 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
981 - opensync-plugin/README update
982 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
983 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
984 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
986 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
988 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
991 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
992 for the broken-down name instead of N
993 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
994 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
995 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
996 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
997 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
998 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
999 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
1000 registered two. Moving to single change commit
1001 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
1002 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
1003 ease memory pressure in the library.
1004 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
1006 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
1007 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
1008 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
1010 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
1012 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
1013 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
1014 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
1015 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
1016 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
1017 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
1018 record into the device.... First/Last Name
1019 fields are position sensitive, and the code
1020 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
1021 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
1022 were not updated to handle the new field
1023 table added for the postal address changes
1026 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
1027 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
1028 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
1029 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
1030 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
1031 UID strings, instead of just numbers
1032 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
1033 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
1034 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
1035 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
1036 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
1038 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
1039 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
1040 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
1041 sync the wrong device and lose data.
1042 Actions to take on new PIN:
1043 - force slow_sync, or
1045 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
1046 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
1047 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
1048 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
1050 - changed PIN error message number to hex
1052 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
1053 "Backup in progress..."
1054 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
1055 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
1056 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
1057 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
1058 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
1059 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
1060 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
1061 a new class called PostalAddress
1062 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
1063 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
1064 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
1065 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
1067 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
1069 - added vCard converter class
1070 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
1071 of empty attribute values and parameters,
1072 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
1073 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
1074 an extra nth argument, in order to search
1075 for multiple attributes with the same name...
1076 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
1077 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
1078 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
1081 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
1082 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
1083 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
1084 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
1088 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
1089 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
1090 new Barry ID would look like a new change
1091 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
1092 - added support for slow sync
1093 - added clear() to idmap class
1094 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
1095 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
1096 - added Notification time support
1097 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
1098 does not exist in a vformat data block
1099 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
1100 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
1101 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
1102 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
1103 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
1104 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
1105 special cases in the future
1107 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
1109 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
1110 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
1111 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
1113 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
1114 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
1115 library API that is not yet finished... will be
1116 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
1117 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
1119 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
1120 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
1121 the goal is to be able to do:
1122 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
1124 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
1125 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
1126 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
1127 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
1129 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
1130 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
1132 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
1134 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
1135 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
1137 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
1138 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
1139 in general use will not break on build
1140 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
1141 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1142 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
1144 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
1146 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
1147 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
1148 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
1149 SetIds() is already there
1150 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
1151 and moved into record.h
1152 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
1154 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
1155 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
1156 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
1157 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
1159 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
1161 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
1162 - changes to PIN message patch:
1163 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
1164 - fixed tab alignment throughout
1165 - removed typedef from Address struct
1166 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
1167 going to be a standalone type
1168 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
1169 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
1170 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
1171 backing on a field for other use
1172 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
1173 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
1174 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
1175 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
1176 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
1177 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
1178 PIN Message so that we store both of these
1181 - added item to gui/TODO
1182 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
1184 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
1185 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
1186 modified to split into the new separate files system
1187 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
1188 - reformatted the code to match coding style
1190 - added copyright notice
1191 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
1192 - placed in Barry namespace
1193 - added #ifdef header protectors
1194 - added new files to Makefile.am
1195 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
1196 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
1197 Brian Edginton's patch
1198 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
1199 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
1202 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
1203 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
1207 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
1208 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
1209 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
1210 linker errors with the new file layout
1212 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
1213 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
1214 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
1216 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
1217 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
1218 and added a command line option to turn
1219 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
1220 - command line option --help now also works
1221 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
1222 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
1223 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
1224 localizing the constants in one place
1226 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
1227 fields in Contact and Calendar records
1228 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
1229 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
1230 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
1231 Outlook from the comments.
1232 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
1233 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
1234 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
1235 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
1236 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
1241 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
1242 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
1243 small on Debian Etch
1245 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
1246 based on the example plugin in the opensync
1247 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
1251 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
1252 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
1253 and then success afterward
1254 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
1255 - added item to gui's todo list
1256 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
1260 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1264 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
1265 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1267 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
1268 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
1269 - updated maintainer/README
1270 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
1272 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
1273 - bumped release number in barry.spec
1276 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
1277 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
1278 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
1279 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
1281 - added development note to README
1283 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
1286 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
1287 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
1290 - removed some unneeded trace logs
1291 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
1293 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1294 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1296 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1297 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1299 - opensync module work:
1300 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1301 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1302 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1303 a hard coded calendar record state table
1304 - added lots of logging throughout
1305 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1306 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1307 causing another sync on the next run
1308 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1309 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1310 written to the Blackberry
1311 - more opensync module work:
1312 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1313 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1314 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1315 the environment classes
1316 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1317 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1319 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1320 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1321 a sample configuration
1322 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1323 on success (opensync module)
1324 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1325 - allowed comments in the config file
1326 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1327 routines are not available from the plugin side
1330 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1331 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1332 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1333 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1334 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1335 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1336 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1337 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1338 and the old search didn't always work
1339 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1340 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1341 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1342 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1343 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1344 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1345 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1346 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1347 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1349 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1350 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1351 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1353 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1354 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1356 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1358 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1359 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1361 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1363 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1365 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1366 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1367 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1368 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1369 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1370 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1371 this special case, without relying on string length.
1372 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1373 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1374 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1376 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1378 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1379 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1380 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1381 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1382 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1383 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1384 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1385 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1386 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1388 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1389 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1391 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1392 udev rules for the Pearl
1393 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1395 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1396 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1397 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1398 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1399 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1400 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1401 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1402 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1403 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1404 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1405 - added license file to each package
1406 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1409 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1410 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1412 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1413 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1414 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1416 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1417 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1418 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1419 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1420 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1421 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1422 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1423 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1424 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1426 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1427 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1433 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1436 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1438 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1439 device discovery code
1440 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1441 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1442 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1443 than are really available... in this case, let's
1444 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1445 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1446 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1447 - ReleaseChecklist update
1448 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1449 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1452 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1453 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1455 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1456 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1457 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1458 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1459 no databases selected in configuration
1460 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1461 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1462 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1463 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1464 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1466 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1467 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1468 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1469 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1470 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1471 -v now controls this as well
1472 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1473 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1474 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1475 the beginning of USB conversations
1476 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1477 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1478 its sequence number behaviour
1479 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1480 socket 0 level command
1481 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1482 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1483 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1484 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1485 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1486 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1487 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1488 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1489 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1490 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1491 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1492 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1493 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1495 - updated controller.cc:
1496 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1497 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1498 selecting modes, as it should use the
1499 socket 0 sequence number
1500 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1501 - updated some .cvsignore files
1503 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1504 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1509 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1510 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1511 new PasswordChallenge struct
1512 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1513 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1514 password hashing logic.
1515 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1517 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1518 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1519 - major LDIF overhaul:
1520 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1522 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1523 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1524 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1526 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1528 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1529 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1531 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1532 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1533 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1534 - large update to btool manpage
1535 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1537 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1538 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1539 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1540 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1541 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1542 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1543 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1544 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1545 instead of hardcoding it.
1547 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1548 - minor tweaks to README
1549 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1550 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1551 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1552 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1553 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1554 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1555 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1557 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1558 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1559 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1560 - added iomanip to debug.h
1561 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1562 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1565 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1566 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1567 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1568 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1571 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1572 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1574 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1576 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1577 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1578 one base class: Barry::Error
1579 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1580 - added BadPassword exception
1586 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1587 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1588 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1589 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1590 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1591 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1592 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1594 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1595 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1596 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1597 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1598 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1599 due to pending reads
1601 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1602 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1604 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1605 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1606 - iostream output size fixes
1607 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1608 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1609 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1610 this is still experimental
1611 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1612 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1614 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1615 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1616 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1617 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1619 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1620 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1621 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1622 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1623 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1624 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1625 and record objects that use it.
1626 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1627 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1629 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1630 This returns the default rectype that should work
1631 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1632 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1633 records, this info would be good to know.
1634 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1635 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1636 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1637 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1638 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1639 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1640 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1641 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1642 - backup GUI updates:
1643 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1644 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1645 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1646 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1647 i.e. Backup or Restore
1648 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1649 it appears to be read-only on the device
1650 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1651 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1652 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1653 supported now by the library
1655 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1656 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1658 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1659 using the library should not care about endianness
1660 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1661 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1663 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1665 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1666 Version call instead
1667 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1669 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1670 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1671 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1673 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1674 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1675 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1677 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1678 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1679 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1680 through btool, for development
1681 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1682 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1683 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1684 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1685 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1686 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1687 exceptions need to be handled with
1688 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1689 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1690 - added pending gui/TODO items
1692 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1693 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1694 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1695 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1696 when we try to write to it)
1697 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1699 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1701 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1702 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1703 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1704 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1705 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1707 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1708 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1709 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1710 backups only at this point
1712 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1713 - added version API, returning version number and string
1714 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1715 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1716 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1717 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1719 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1720 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1722 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1723 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1724 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1725 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1727 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1729 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1731 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1732 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1734 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1736 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1737 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1739 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1740 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1741 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1742 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1743 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1744 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1746 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1747 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1748 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1750 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1751 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1752 a future Debian install
1753 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1754 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1755 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1756 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1758 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1759 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1760 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1761 - fixed more endian issues
1762 - minor update to TODO
1764 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1765 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1767 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1768 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1769 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1770 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1772 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1773 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1774 on old build system if wanted
1775 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1776 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1777 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1778 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1779 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1780 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1782 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1783 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1784 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1785 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1786 properly when installed standalone
1787 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1788 installed barry library

1827 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1828 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1830 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1831 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1832 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1833 exceptions leak into the C library code
1835 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1836 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1838 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1839 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1841 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1844 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1845 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1846 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1847 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1848 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1849 header of its own, in the case of email
1850 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1851 Record does not know the details of the packet
1852 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1853 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1854 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1855 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1856 the record format details, but does know the
1857 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1859 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1860 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1861 record formats being the same even with different
1862 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1863 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1864 See the header size of the email record after
1866 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1867 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1868 The Controller object does not know the format
1869 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1870 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1871 to talk to the device.
1872 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1874 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1876 - added sample hotplug scripts

1879 handle non-little-endian machines
1880 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1881 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1882 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1883 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1884 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1885 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1886 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1887 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1889 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1891 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1892 flags of individual blackberry device records

1899 - removed slow sync functions for now
1901 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1902 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1903 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1904 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1905 the base classes for all exceptions
1906 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1907 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1921 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1923 - old and new description
1925 - bes domain / domain
1926 - date change in legal.txt
1927 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1928 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1929 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1930 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1931 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1933 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1934 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1935 - added AUTHORS file
1936 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1937 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1938 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1988 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1989 throw exception in controller.cc
1990 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1991 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1992 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1993 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1994 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1995 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions

2039 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
2040 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
2041 structs are completely hidden in the library...
2042 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

2067 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
2068 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
2069 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
2070 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
2071 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
2072 Observed maximum blank count: 1
2073 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
2074 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
2075 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
2076 seem to need more time...)
2077 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
2078 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
2079 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
2080 with Python, if used(?)
2081 - added Message class for Email records
2082 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
2083 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

2112 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
2113 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
2114 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the

2116 from the Command Table
2117 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
2118 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
2119 the Cassis spec more closely
2120 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
2121 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
2122 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
2125 - added Doxyfile to the project
2127 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
2128 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
2129 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent

2137 less buffer than data copied
2138 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
2139 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
2140 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
2141 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
2143 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
2144 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
2146 - implemented socket::Close()
2147 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

2156 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
2158 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
2159 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
2160 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
2162 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
2163 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
2164 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
2165 - regular debug output
2166 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
2167 syslog someday, and never turned off)
2168 - raw data dump output
2169 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
2170 numbers into english (limited success)
2171 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
2172 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
2173 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
2174 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
2175 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
2176 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
2177 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
2178 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
2179 for socket 0 operations.
2180 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
2184 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
2185 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
2186 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
2187 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
