13 - reformatted the code to match coding style
15 - added copyright notice
16 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
17 - placed in Barry namespace
18 - added #ifdef header protectors
19 - added new files to Makefile.am
20 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
21 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
22 Brian Edginton's patch
23 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
24 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
27 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
28 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
32 - fixed broken formatting in above patch

38 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
39 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
41 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
42 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
43 and added a command line option to turn
44 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
45 - command line option --help now also works
46 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
47 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
48 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
49 localizing the constants in one place

52 fields in Contact and Calendar records
53 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
54 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
55 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
56 Outlook from the comments.
57 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
58 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
59 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
60 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
61 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
66 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
67 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
70 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
71 based on the example plugin in the opensync
72 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
76 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)

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

655 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
656 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
657 more use of the base exception to make sure no
658 exceptions leak into the C library code
660 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
661 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
663 - fixed casting error in opensync module
664 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
666 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
669 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
670 splitting the code into 3 groups:
671 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
672 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
673 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
674 header of its own, in the case of email
675 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
676 Record does not know the details of the packet
677 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
678 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
679 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
680 providing an API for it... packet does not know
681 the record format details, but does know the
682 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
684 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
685 of operation formats and record formats, with the
686 record formats being the same even with different
687 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
688 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
689 See the header size of the email record after
691 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
692 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
693 The Controller object does not know the format
694 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
695 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
696 to talk to the device.

704 handle non-little-endian machines
705 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
706 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
707 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
708 and cause a failure to reach the device...
709 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
710 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
711 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
712 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
714 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
716 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
717 flags of individual blackberry device records

728 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
729 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
730 the base classes for all exceptions

746 - old and new unique ID (UID)
748 - old and new description
750 - bes domain / domain
751 - date change in legal.txt
752 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
753 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
754 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
755 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
756 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
758 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
759 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
761 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
762 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
763 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

810 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
811 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
812 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
813 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
814 throw exception in controller.cc
815 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
816 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
817 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
818 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
819 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
820 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions

892 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
893 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
894 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
895 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
896 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
897 Observed maximum blank count: 1
898 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
899 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
900 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
901 seem to need more time...)
902 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
903 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
904 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
905 with Python, if used(?)
906 - added Message class for Email records
907 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
908 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

941 from the Command Table
942 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
943 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
944 the Cassis spec more closely
945 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
946 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
947 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
950 - added Doxyfile to the project
952 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
953 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
954 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
956 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
957 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
958 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
959 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
960 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now

962 less buffer than data copied
963 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
964 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
965 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
966 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
968 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
969 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
971 - implemented socket::Close()
972 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

984 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
985 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
987 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
988 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
989 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
990 - regular debug output
991 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
992 syslog someday, and never turned off)
993 - raw data dump output
994 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
995 numbers into english (limited success)
996 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
997 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
998 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
999 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1000 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1001 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1002 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1003 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1004 for socket 0 operations.

1009 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1010 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1011 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1012 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1014 - syncberry tree started
