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

68 small on Debian Etch
69 - opensync plugin:
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
73 is incomplete
74 2007/05/04

100 - opensync plugin:
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
105 xml data format...
106 - added development note to README
107 2007/04/29
108 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
109 build instructions
110 - opensync plugin:
111 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
112 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
113 2007/04/27
114 - opensync module:
115 - removed some unneeded trace logs
116 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
117 m_Data pointer
118 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
119 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
120 if empty
121 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
122 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
123 2007/04/26
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
143 2007/04/20
144 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration

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
153 2007/04/19
154 - updated gui/TODO
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
173 search at 0
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)
177 2007/04/04
178 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
179 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
180 2007/03/30
181 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
182 if found
183 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
184 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
185 of the project
186 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
187 2007/03/29
188 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
189 - updated AUTHORS
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
200 2007/03/17
201 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
202 2007/03/16
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
212 in some cases
213 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
214 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
215 2007/03/08
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
219 functionality
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
232 discussion
233 - updated AUTHORS
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
236 for the bug report
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
240 user.
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
250 as a guide
251 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
252 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
253 2007/03/02
254 - version bump in:
255 - configure.ac
256 - src/Makefile.am
257 - src/version.cc
258 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
259 - src/Doxyfile
260 - rpm/barry.spec
261 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
262 for it
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
275 dependency
277 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
278 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 2007/02/28
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
290 2007/02/23
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
319 of socket 0 packets
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
327 - updated TODO
328 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
329 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
330 - ChallengeSeed()
331 - RemainingTries()
332 - SocketResponse()
333 - SocketSqeuence()
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
341 2007/02/22
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
346 into its own
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
350 contact field names
351 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
352 if necessary
353 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
354 notes fields were missed in old version if not
355 encoded
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)
361 2007/02/15
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.
371 2007/02/10
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
381 2007/02/09
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
388 2007/02/04
389 - updated AUTHORS
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
394 from Ian Darwin
395 2007/02/03
396 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
397 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
398 - updated AUTHORS
399 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
400 2007/02/02
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
406 2007/02/01
407 - version bump in:
408 - configure.ac
409 - src/Makefile.am
410 - src/version.cc
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
418 in the future.
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
424 due to pending reads
426 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
427 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
428 2007/01/26
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
438 Debian stable
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.*
443 2007/01/25
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
453 32 bits
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
479 2007/01/21
480 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
481 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
482 - changes to patch:
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
487 install
488 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
489 for the same reason
490 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
491 Version call instead
492 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
493 - updated AUTHORS
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.
497 2007/01/20
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
501 some older devices
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()

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
523 2007/01/18

545 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
546 in probe.h)

549 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
550 leaving the device in Desktop mode
551 2007/01/04
552 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
553 different rules
554 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.

563 2006/12/29
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
570 depend on.
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

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
582 2006/12/21
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.

611 properly when installed standalone
612 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
613 installed barry library

654 at once
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

666 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
667 the bug report
668 2006/09/08
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)
683 packet format.
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
690 refactoring.
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.
697 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
698 we come!
699 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
700 2006/09/01
701 - added sample hotplug scripts
702 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
703 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
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
713 engineered.
714 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
715 for smarter syncing
716 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
717 flags of individual blackberry device records
718 - added endian macros throughout the code
719 2006/07/13
720 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
721 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN

723 for development)
724 - removed slow sync functions for now
725 2006/07/07
726 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
727 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
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
731 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
732 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
733 2006/06/22
734 - added to Contact record class:
735 - Clear()
736 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
737 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
738 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
739 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
740 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
741 and upload it to a blackberry
742 - updated src/.cvsignore
743 2006/06/16
744 - added parsing of service book fields:
745 - old and new name
746 - old and new unique ID (UID)
747 - content ID (CID)
748 - old and new description
749 - DSID
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
757 2006/06/09
758 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
759 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
760 - added AUTHORS file
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.
764 2006/05/25
765 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
766 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

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
821 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

826 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
827 be reused for upload and download
828 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
829 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
830 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
831 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
832 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
833 this obsolete)
834 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
835 2005/12/10
836 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
837 - added boost::serialization to build
838 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
839 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
840 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
841 a special 3 byte size packet is sent

854 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
855 for later saving
856 2005/12/07
857 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
858 optimize away protocol struct casts
859 see:
860 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

864 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
865 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
866 structs are completely hidden in the library...
867 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
869 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
870 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

891 2005/11/19
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
909 available, and parses it with a Parser object

922 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
923 better suited to its general API purpose
924 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
925 a public API function
926 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
927 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
928 the command line
929 - added mode checks to Controller
930 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
931 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

933 file based
934 2005/11/18
935 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
936 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
937 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
938 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
939 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
940 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
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
948 destructors
949 2005/11/17
950 - added Doxyfile to the project
951 - tuned Makefile
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
955 data transfers.
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
961 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
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
967 data
968 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
969 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
970 saved
971 - implemented socket::Close()
972 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
973 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
974 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
975 2005/11/11
976 - added .cvsignore files to project
977 - added README notes to document the source architecture
978 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
979 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
980 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
981 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
982 -l = list only
983 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
984 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
985 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
986 results
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.
1005 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1006 MAKE_PACKET()
1007 COMMAND()
1008 IS_COMMAND()
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
1013 2005/10/20
1014 - syncberry tree started
