1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/05/17
4 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
5 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
6 2007/05/11
7 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
8 fields in Contact and Calendar records
9 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
10 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,

12 Outlook from the comments.
13 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
14 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
15 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
16 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
17 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
18 libbarry
19 libbarry-dev
20 barry-util
21 barrybackup-gui
22 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
23 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
24 small on Debian Etch
25 - opensync plugin:
26 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
27 based on the example plugin in the opensync
28 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
29 is incomplete
30 2007/05/04
31 - opensync plugin:
32 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
33 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
34 and then success afterward
35 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
36 - added item to gui's todo list
37 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
38 - configure.ac
39 - src/Makefile.am

53 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
54 - bumped release number in barry.spec
55 2007/04/30
56 - opensync plugin:
57 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
58 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
59 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
60 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
61 xml data format...
62 - added development note to README
63 2007/04/29
64 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
65 build instructions
66 - opensync plugin:
67 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
68 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
69 2007/04/27
70 - opensync module:
71 - removed some unneeded trace logs
72 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
73 m_Data pointer
74 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
75 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
76 if empty
77 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
78 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
79 2007/04/26
80 - opensync module work:
81 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
82 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
83 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
84 a hard coded calendar record state table
85 - added lots of logging throughout
86 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
87 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
88 causing another sync on the next run
89 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
90 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
91 written to the Blackberry
92 - more opensync module work:
93 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
94 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
95 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
96 the environment classes
97 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
98 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
99 2007/04/20
100 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
101 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
102 a sample configuration
103 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
104 on success (opensync module)
105 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
106 - allowed comments in the config file
107 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
108 routines are not available from the plugin side
109 2007/04/19
110 - updated gui/TODO
111 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
112 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
113 only use idProduct, and updated man page
114 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
115 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
116 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
117 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
118 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
119 and the old search didn't always work
120 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
121 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
122 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
123 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
124 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
125 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
126 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
127 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
128 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
129 search at 0
130 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
131 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
132 the vevent20 data (experimental)
133 2007/04/04
134 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
135 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
136 2007/03/30
137 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
138 if found
139 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
140 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
141 of the project
142 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
143 2007/03/29
144 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
145 - updated AUTHORS
146 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
147 FullName, even if there was no last name)
148 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
149 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
150 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
151 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
152 this special case, without relying on string length.
153 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
154 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
155 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
156 2007/03/17
157 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
158 2007/03/16
159 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
160 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
161 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
162 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
163 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
164 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
165 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
166 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
167 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
168 in some cases
169 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
170 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
171 2007/03/08
172 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
173 udev rules for the Pearl
174 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
175 functionality
176 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
177 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
178 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
179 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
180 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
181 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
182 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
183 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
184 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
185 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
186 - added license file to each package
187 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
188 discussion
189 - updated AUTHORS
190 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
191 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
192 for the bug report
193 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
194 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
195 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
196 user.
197 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
198 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
199 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
200 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
201 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
202 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
203 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
204 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
205 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
206 as a guide
207 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
208 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
209 2007/03/02
210 - version bump in:
211 - configure.ac
212 - src/Makefile.am
213 - src/version.cc
214 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
215 - src/Doxyfile
216 - rpm/barry.spec
217 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
218 for it
219 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
220 device discovery code
221 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
222 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
223 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
224 than are really available... in this case, let's
225 just ignore the missing data and assume success
226 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
227 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
228 - ReleaseChecklist update
229 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
230 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
231 dependency
233 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
234 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
235 2007/02/28
236 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
237 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
238 - added initial release maintainer scripts
239 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
240 no databases selected in configuration
241 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
242 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
243 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
244 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
245 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
246 2007/02/23
247 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
248 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
249 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
250 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
251 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
252 -v now controls this as well
253 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
254 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
255 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
256 the beginning of USB conversations
257 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
258 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
259 its sequence number behaviour
260 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
261 socket 0 level command
262 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
263 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
264 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
265 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
266 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
267 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
268 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
269 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
270 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
271 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
272 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
273 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
274 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
275 of socket 0 packets
276 - updated controller.cc:
277 - uses new socket 0 implementation
278 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
279 selecting modes, as it should use the
280 socket 0 sequence number
281 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
282 - updated some .cvsignore files
283 - updated TODO
284 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
285 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
286 - ChallengeSeed()
287 - RemainingTries()
288 - SocketResponse()
289 - SocketSqeuence()
290 - moved Command() to base Packet class
291 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
292 new PasswordChallenge struct
293 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
294 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
295 password hashing logic.
296 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
297 2007/02/22
298 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
299 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
300 - major LDIF overhaul:
301 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
302 into its own
303 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
304 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
305 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
306 contact field names
307 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
308 if necessary
309 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
310 notes fields were missed in old version if not
311 encoded
312 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
313 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
314 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
315 - large update to btool manpage
316 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
317 2007/02/15
318 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
319 - removed commented code from translate.cc
320 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
321 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
322 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
323 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
324 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
325 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
326 instead of hardcoding it.
327 2007/02/10
328 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
329 - minor tweaks to README
330 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
331 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
332 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
333 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
334 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
335 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
336 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
337 2007/02/09
338 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
339 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
340 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
341 - added iomanip to debug.h
342 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
343 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
344 2007/02/04
345 - updated AUTHORS
346 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
347 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
348 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
349 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
350 from Ian Darwin
351 2007/02/03
352 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
353 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
354 - updated AUTHORS
355 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
356 2007/02/02
357 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
358 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
359 one base class: Barry::Error
360 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
361 - added BadPassword exception
362 2007/02/01
363 - version bump in:
364 - configure.ac
365 - src/Makefile.am
366 - src/version.cc
367 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
368 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
369 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
370 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
371 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
372 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
373 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
374 in the future.
375 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
376 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
377 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
378 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
379 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
380 due to pending reads
382 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
383 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
384 2007/01/26
385 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
386 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
387 - iostream output size fixes
388 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
389 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
390 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
391 this is still experimental
392 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
393 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
394 Debian stable
395 - uncommented the about box menu handler
396 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
397 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
398 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
399 2007/01/25
400 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
401 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
402 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
403 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
404 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
405 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
406 and record objects that use it.
407 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
408 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
409 32 bits
410 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
411 This returns the default rectype that should work
412 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
413 the device, but in the case where a database has no
414 records, this info would be good to know.
415 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
416 to use GetDefaultRecType()
417 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
418 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
419 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
420 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
421 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
422 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
423 - backup GUI updates:
424 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
425 and changed the logic so the restore continues
426 even if there was a protocol error on one database
427 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
428 i.e. Backup or Restore
429 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
430 it appears to be read-only on the device
431 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
432 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
433 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
434 supported now by the library
435 2007/01/21
436 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
437 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
438 - changes to patch:
439 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
440 using the library should not care about endianness
441 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
442 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
443 install
444 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
445 for the same reason
446 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
447 Version call instead
448 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
449 - updated AUTHORS
450 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
451 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
452 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
453 2007/01/20
454 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
455 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
456 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
457 some older devices
458 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
459 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
460 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
461 through btool, for development
462 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
463 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
464 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
465 - finished implementation of GUI restore
466 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
467 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
468 exceptions need to be handled with
469 Glib::add_exception_handler()
470 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
471 - added pending gui/TODO items
472 2007/01/19
473 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
474 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
475 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
476 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
477 when we try to write to it)
478 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
479 2007/01/18
480 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
481 2007/01/13
482 - updated copyright dates for the new year
483 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
484 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
485 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
486 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
487 - updated README
488 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
489 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
490 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
491 backups only at this point
492 2007/01/11
493 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
494 - added version API, returning version number and string
495 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
496 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
497 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
498 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
499 2007/01/05
500 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
501 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
502 in probe.h)
503 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
504 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
505 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
506 leaving the device in Desktop mode
507 2007/01/04
508 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
509 different rules
510 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
511 USB product ID 6
512 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
513 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us

519 2006/12/29
520 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
521 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
522 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
523 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
524 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
525 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
526 depend on.
527 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
528 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
529 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
530 package scripts

533 a future Debian install
534 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
535 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
536 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
537 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
538 2006/12/21
539 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
540 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
541 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

565 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
566 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
567 properly when installed standalone
568 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
569 installed barry library
570 - added commentary on version number system
571 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
572 system supercedes it

609 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
610 at once
611 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
612 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
613 more use of the base exception to make sure no
614 exceptions leak into the C library code

622 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
623 the bug report
624 2006/09/08
625 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
626 splitting the code into 3 groups:
627 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
628 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
629 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
630 header of its own, in the case of email
631 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
632 Record does not know the details of the packet
633 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
634 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
635 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
636 providing an API for it... packet does not know
637 the record format details, but does know the
638 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
639 packet format.
640 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
641 of operation formats and record formats, with the
642 record formats being the same even with different
643 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
644 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
645 See the header size of the email record after
646 refactoring.
647 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
648 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
649 The Controller object does not know the format
650 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
651 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
652 to talk to the device.
653 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
654 we come!
655 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
656 2006/09/01
657 - added sample hotplug scripts
658 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
659 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
660 handle non-little-endian machines
661 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
662 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
663 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
664 and cause a failure to reach the device...
665 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
666 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
667 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
668 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
669 engineered.
670 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
671 for smarter syncing
672 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
673 flags of individual blackberry device records
674 - added endian macros throughout the code
675 2006/07/13
676 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
677 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN

679 for development)
680 - removed slow sync functions for now
681 2006/07/07
682 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
683 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
684 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
685 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
686 the base classes for all exceptions
687 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
688 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
689 2006/06/22
690 - added to Contact record class:
691 - Clear()
692 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
693 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
694 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
695 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
696 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
697 and upload it to a blackberry
698 - updated src/.cvsignore
699 2006/06/16
700 - added parsing of service book fields:
701 - old and new name
702 - old and new unique ID (UID)
703 - content ID (CID)
704 - old and new description
705 - DSID
706 - bes domain / domain
707 - date change in legal.txt
708 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
709 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
710 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
711 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
712 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
713 2006/06/09
714 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
715 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
716 - added AUTHORS file
717 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
718 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
719 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
720 2006/05/25

768 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
769 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
770 throw exception in controller.cc
771 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
772 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
773 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
774 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
775 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
776 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
777 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

782 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
783 be reused for upload and download
784 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by

786 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
787 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
788 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make

793 - added boost::serialization to build
794 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
795 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
796 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
797 a special 3 byte size packet is sent

811 for later saving
812 2005/12/07
813 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
814 optimize away protocol struct casts
815 see:
816 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

820 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
821 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
822 structs are completely hidden in the library...
823 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
825 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
826 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

847 2005/11/19
848 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
849 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
850 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
851 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
852 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
853 Observed maximum blank count: 1
854 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
855 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
856 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
857 seem to need more time...)
858 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
859 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
860 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
861 with Python, if used(?)
862 - added Message class for Email records
863 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
864 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

878 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
879 better suited to its general API purpose
880 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
881 a public API function
882 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
883 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
884 the command line
885 - added mode checks to Controller
886 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
887 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

892 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
893 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
894 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output

896 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
897 from the Command Table
898 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
899 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
900 the Cassis spec more closely
901 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
902 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
903 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
904 destructors
905 2005/11/17
906 - added Doxyfile to the project
907 - tuned Makefile
908 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
909 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
910 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
911 data transfers.
912 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
913 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
914 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
915 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
916 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
917 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
918 less buffer than data copied
919 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
920 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
921 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
922 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
923 data
924 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
925 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
926 saved
927 - implemented socket::Close()
928 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
929 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
930 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
931 2005/11/11
932 - added .cvsignore files to project
933 - added README notes to document the source architecture
934 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
935 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
936 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
937 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
938 -l = list only
939 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
940 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
941 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
942 results
943 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
944 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
945 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
946 - regular debug output
947 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
948 syslog someday, and never turned off)
949 - raw data dump output
950 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
951 numbers into english (limited success)
952 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
953 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
954 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
955 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
956 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
957 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
958 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
959 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
960 for socket 0 operations.
961 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
962 MAKE_PACKET()
963 COMMAND()
964 IS_COMMAND()
965 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
966 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
967 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
968 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
969 2005/10/20
970 - syncberry tree started
