1 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/02/28
4 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
5 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
6 - added initial release maintainer scripts
7 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
8 no databases selected in configuration
9 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
10 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
11 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
12 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
13 2007/02/23
14 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
15 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
16 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
17 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
18 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
19 -v now controls this as well
20 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
21 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
22 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
23 the beginning of USB conversations
24 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
25 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
26 its sequence number behaviour
27 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
28 socket 0 level command
29 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
30 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
31 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
32 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
33 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
34 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
35 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
36 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
37 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
38 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
39 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
40 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
41 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
42 of socket 0 packets
43 - updated controller.cc:
44 - uses new socket 0 implementation
45 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
46 selecting modes, as it should use the
47 socket 0 sequence number
48 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
49 - updated some .cvsignore files
50 - updated TODO
51 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
52 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
53 - ChallengeSeed()
54 - RemainingTries()
55 - SocketResponse()
56 - SocketSqeuence()
57 - moved Command() to base Packet class
58 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
59 new PasswordChallenge struct
60 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
61 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
62 password hashing logic.
63 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
64 2007/02/22
65 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
66 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
67 - major LDIF overhaul:
68 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
69 into its own
70 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
71 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
72 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
73 contact field names
74 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
75 if necessary
76 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
77 notes fields were missed in old version if not
78 encoded
79 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
80 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
81 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
82 - large update to btool manpage
83 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
84 2007/02/15
85 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
86 - removed commented code from translate.cc
87 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
88 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
89 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
90 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
91 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
92 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
93 instead of hardcoding it.
94 2007/02/10
95 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
96 - minor tweaks to README
97 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
98 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
99 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
100 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
101 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
102 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
103 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
104 2007/02/09
105 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
106 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
107 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
108 - added iomanip to debug.h
109 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
110 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
111 2007/02/04
112 - updated AUTHORS
113 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
114 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
115 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
116 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
117 from Ian Darwin
118 2007/02/03
119 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
120 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
121 - updated AUTHORS
122 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
123 2007/02/02
124 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
125 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
126 one base class: Barry::Error
127 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
128 - added BadPassword exception
129 2007/02/01
130 - version bump in:
131 - configure.ac
132 - src/Makefile.am
133 - src/version.cc
134 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
135 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
136 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
137 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
138 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
139 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
140 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
141 in the future.
142 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
143 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
144 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
145 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
146 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
147 due to pending reads
149 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
150 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
151 2007/01/26
152 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
153 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
154 - iostream output size fixes
155 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
156 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
157 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
158 this is still experimental
159 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
160 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
161 Debian stable
162 - uncommented the about box menu handler
163 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
164 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
165 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
166 2007/01/25
167 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
168 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
169 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
170 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
171 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
172 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
173 and record objects that use it.
174 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
175 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
176 32 bits
177 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
178 This returns the default rectype that should work
179 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
180 the device, but in the case where a database has no
181 records, this info would be good to know.
182 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
183 to use GetDefaultRecType()
184 - documented the recurrance data and how to use it in Calendar objects
185 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
186 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
187 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
188 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
189 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
190 - backup GUI updates:
191 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
192 and changed the logic so the restore continues
193 even if there was a protocol error on one database
194 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
195 i.e. Backup or Restore
196 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
197 it appears to be read-only on the device
198 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
199 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
200 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
201 supported now by the library
202 2007/01/21
203 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
204 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
205 - changes to patch:
206 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
207 using the library should not care about endianness
208 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
209 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
210 install
211 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
212 for the same reason
213 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
214 Version call instead
215 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
216 - updated AUTHORS
217 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
218 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
219 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
220 2007/01/20
221 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
222 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
223 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
224 some older devices
225 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
226 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
227 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
228 through btool, for development
229 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
230 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
231 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
232 - finished implementation of GUI restore
233 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
234 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
235 exceptions need to be handled with
236 Glib::add_exception_handler()
237 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
238 - added pending gui/TODO items
239 2007/01/19
240 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
241 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
242 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
243 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
244 when we try to write to it)
245 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
246 2007/01/18
247 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
248 2007/01/13
249 - updated copyright dates for the new year
250 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
251 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
252 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
253 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
254 - updated README
255 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
256 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
257 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
258 backups only at this point
259 2007/01/11
260 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
261 - added version API, returning version number and string
262 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
263 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
264 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
265 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
266 2007/01/05
267 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
268 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
269 in probe.h)
270 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
271 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
272 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
273 leaving the device in Desktop mode
274 2007/01/04
275 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
276 different rules
277 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
278 USB product ID 6
279 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
280 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
281 2006/12/29
282 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
284 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
285 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
286 2006/12/29
287 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
288 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
289 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
290 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
291 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
292 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
293 depend on.
294 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
295 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
296 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
297 package scripts
298 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
299 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
300 a future Debian install
301 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
302 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
303 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
304 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
305 2006/12/21
306 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
307 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
308 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
309 - fixed more endian issues
310 - minor update to TODO
311 2006/12/15
312 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
313 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
314 2006/12/08
315 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
316 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
317 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
318 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
319 2006/12/07
320 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
321 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
322 on old build system if wanted
323 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
324 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
325 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
326 into their own tools/ subdirectory
327 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
328 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
329 use only
330 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
331 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
332 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
333 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
334 properly when installed standalone
335 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
336 installed barry library
337 - added commentary on version number system
338 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
339 system supercedes it
340 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
341 - added library version number to autoconf build
342 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
343 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
344 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
345 option... may need to revisit this later
346 - quick installation update in README
347 2006/12/01
348 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
349 some size checks
350 - fixed endian issues in time.h

352 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
353 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
354 - added support for Calendar recurrance data
355 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
356 2006/11/24
357 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
358 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
360 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
361 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
362 2006/11/23
363 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
364 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
365 from any int
366 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
367 uploading to device to fail

376 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
377 at once
378 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
379 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
380 more use of the base exception to make sure no
381 exceptions leak into the C library code
383 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
384 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
385 2006/10/12

387 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
388 2006/09/29
389 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
390 the bug report
391 2006/09/08
392 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
393 splitting the code into 3 groups:
394 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
395 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
396 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
397 header of its own, in the case of email
398 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
399 Record does not know the details of the packet
400 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
401 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
402 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
403 providing an API for it... packet does not know
404 the record format details, but does know the
405 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
406 packet format.
407 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
408 of operation formats and record formats, with the
409 record formats being the same even with different
410 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
411 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
412 See the header size of the email record after
413 refactoring.
414 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
415 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
416 The Controller object does not know the format
417 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
418 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
419 to talk to the device.
420 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
421 we come!
422 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
423 2006/09/01
424 - added sample hotplug scripts
425 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
426 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
427 handle non-little-endian machines
428 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
429 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
430 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
431 and cause a failure to reach the device...
432 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
433 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
434 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
435 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
436 engineered.
437 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
438 for smarter syncing
439 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
440 flags of individual blackberry device records
441 - added endian macros throughout the code
442 2006/07/13
443 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
444 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
445 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
446 for development)
447 - removed slow sync functions for now
448 2006/07/07
449 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
450 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
451 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
452 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
453 the base classes for all exceptions
454 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
455 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
456 2006/06/22
457 - added to Contact record class:
458 - Clear()
459 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
460 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
461 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
462 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
463 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
464 and upload it to a blackberry
465 - updated src/.cvsignore
466 2006/06/16
467 - added parsing of service book fields:
468 - old and new name
469 - old and new unique ID (UID)
470 - content ID (CID)
471 - old and new description
472 - DSID
473 - bes domain / domain
474 - date change in legal.txt
475 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
476 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
477 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
478 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
479 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
480 2006/06/09
481 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
482 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
483 - added AUTHORS file
484 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
485 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
486 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
487 2006/05/25
488 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
489 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
490 2006/05/18
491 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
492 2006/03/31
493 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
494 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
495 to the Controller class
496 - new file: controllertmpl.h
497 - documentation fixes in builder.h
498 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
499 support of the template Controller functions
500 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
501 returning errors properly
502 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
503 of Controller template member usage
504 2006/03/29
505 - copyright dates updated for 2006
506 2006/01/05
507 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
508 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
509 2005/12/30
510 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
511 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
512 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
513 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
514 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
515 constants... constants are now removed
516 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
517 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
518 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree
519 - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree

523 - added Hacking document
524 - minor touchups to README
525 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
526 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
527 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
528 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
529 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
530 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list

532 2005/12/23
533 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
534 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
535 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
536 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
537 throw exception in controller.cc
538 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
539 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
540 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
541 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
542 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
543 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
544 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
545 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser
546 class, and "all day event" flag support
547 2005/12/22
548 - added autoconf to Todo list
549 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
550 be reused for upload and download
551 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
552 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
553 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
554 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
555 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
556 this obsolete)
557 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
558 2005/12/10
559 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
560 - added boost::serialization to build
561 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
562 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
563 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
564 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
565 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
566 properly serialized
567 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
568 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
569 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
570 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
571 2005/12/08

577 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
578 for later saving
579 2005/12/07
580 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
581 optimize away protocol struct casts
582 see:

587 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
588 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
589 structs are completely hidden in the library...
590 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
592 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

615 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
616 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
617 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
618 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
619 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
620 Observed maximum blank count: 1
621 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
622 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
623 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
624 seem to need more time...)
625 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
626 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
627 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
628 with Python, if used(?)
629 - added Message class for Email records
630 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
631 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
632 available, and parses it with a Parser object

644 - added header comments to convo.awk script
645 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
646 better suited to its general API purpose
647 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
648 a public API function
649 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
650 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
651 the command line
652 - added mode checks to Controller
653 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
654 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

656 file based
657 2005/11/18
658 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
659 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
660 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
661 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output

663 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
664 from the Command Table
665 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
666 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
667 the Cassis spec more closely
668 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
669 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
670 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
671 destructors
672 2005/11/17
673 - added Doxyfile to the project
674 - tuned Makefile
675 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
676 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
677 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
678 data transfers.
679 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
680 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
681 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
682 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
683 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
684 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
685 less buffer than data copied
686 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
687 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
688 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
689 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
690 data
691 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
692 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
693 saved
694 - implemented socket::Close()
695 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

698 2005/11/11
699 - added .cvsignore files to project
700 - added README notes to document the source architecture
701 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
702 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
703 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
704 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
705 -l = list only
706 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
707 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
708 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
709 results
710 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
711 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
712 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
713 - regular debug output
714 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
715 syslog someday, and never turned off)
716 - raw data dump output
717 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
718 numbers into english (limited success)
719 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
720 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
721 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
722 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
723 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
724 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
725 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
726 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
727 for socket 0 operations.
728 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
729 MAKE_PACKET()
730 COMMAND()
731 IS_COMMAND()
732 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
733 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
734 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
735 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
736 2005/10/20
