9 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
10 - ClassFlag
11 - FreeBusyFlag
12 - Clear() fixes
13 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
14 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
15 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused

18 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
19 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
20 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
21 - backup gui:
22 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout

24 and added a command line option to turn
25 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
26 - command line option --help now also works
27 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
28 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
29 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
30 localizing the constants in one place
31 2007/05/11
32 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
33 fields in Contact and Calendar records
34 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
35 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,

37 Outlook from the comments.
38 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
39 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
40 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
41 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
42 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
43 libbarry
44 libbarry-dev
45 barry-util
46 barrybackup-gui
47 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
48 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
49 small on Debian Etch
50 - opensync plugin:
51 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
52 based on the example plugin in the opensync
53 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
54 is incomplete
55 2007/05/04
56 - opensync plugin:
57 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)

81 - opensync plugin:
82 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
83 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
84 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
85 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
86 xml data format...
87 - added development note to README
88 2007/04/29
89 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
90 build instructions
91 - opensync plugin:
92 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
93 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
94 2007/04/27
95 - opensync module:
96 - removed some unneeded trace logs
97 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
98 m_Data pointer

101 if empty
102 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
103 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
104 2007/04/26
105 - opensync module work:
106 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
107 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
108 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
109 a hard coded calendar record state table
110 - added lots of logging throughout
111 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
112 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
113 causing another sync on the next run
114 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
115 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
116 written to the Blackberry
117 - more opensync module work:
118 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
119 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
120 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
121 the environment classes
122 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
123 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
124 2007/04/20
125 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
126 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
127 a sample configuration

129 on success (opensync module)
130 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
131 - allowed comments in the config file
132 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
133 routines are not available from the plugin side
134 2007/04/19
135 - updated gui/TODO
136 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
137 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
138 only use idProduct, and updated man page
139 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
140 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
141 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
142 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
143 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
144 and the old search didn't always work
145 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
146 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
147 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
148 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
149 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
150 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
151 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
152 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
153 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
154 search at 0
155 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
156 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
157 the vevent20 data (experimental)
158 2007/04/04
159 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
160 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
161 2007/03/30
162 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
163 if found
164 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
165 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
166 of the project
167 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
168 2007/03/29
169 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
170 - updated AUTHORS
171 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
172 FullName, even if there was no last name)
173 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
174 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
175 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
176 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
177 this special case, without relying on string length.
178 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
179 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
180 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
181 2007/03/17
182 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
183 2007/03/16
184 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
185 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
186 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
187 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
188 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
189 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
190 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
191 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
192 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
193 in some cases
194 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
195 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
196 2007/03/08
197 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
198 udev rules for the Pearl
199 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
200 functionality
201 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
202 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
203 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
204 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
205 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
206 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
207 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
208 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
209 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
210 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
211 - added license file to each package
212 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
213 discussion
214 - updated AUTHORS
215 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
216 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
217 for the bug report
218 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
219 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
220 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
221 user.
222 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
223 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
224 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
225 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
226 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
227 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
228 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
229 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
230 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
231 as a guide
232 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
233 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
234 2007/03/02
235 - version bump in:
236 - configure.ac
237 - src/Makefile.am
238 - src/version.cc
239 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
240 - src/Doxyfile
241 - rpm/barry.spec
242 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
243 for it
244 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
245 device discovery code
246 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
247 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
248 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
249 than are really available... in this case, let's
250 just ignore the missing data and assume success
251 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
252 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
253 - ReleaseChecklist update
254 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
255 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
256 dependency
258 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
260 2007/02/28
261 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
262 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
263 - added initial release maintainer scripts
264 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
265 no databases selected in configuration
266 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
267 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
268 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
269 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
270 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
271 2007/02/23
272 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
273 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
274 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
275 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
276 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
277 -v now controls this as well
278 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
279 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
280 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
281 the beginning of USB conversations
282 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
283 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
284 its sequence number behaviour
285 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
286 socket 0 level command
287 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
288 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
289 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
290 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
291 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
292 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
293 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
294 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
295 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
296 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
297 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
298 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
299 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
300 of socket 0 packets
301 - updated controller.cc:
302 - uses new socket 0 implementation
303 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
304 selecting modes, as it should use the
305 socket 0 sequence number
306 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
307 - updated some .cvsignore files
308 - updated TODO
309 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
310 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
311 - ChallengeSeed()
312 - RemainingTries()
313 - SocketResponse()
314 - SocketSqeuence()
315 - moved Command() to base Packet class
316 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
317 new PasswordChallenge struct
318 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
319 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
320 password hashing logic.
321 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
322 2007/02/22
323 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
324 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
325 - major LDIF overhaul:
326 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
327 into its own
328 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
329 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
330 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
331 contact field names
332 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
333 if necessary
334 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
335 notes fields were missed in old version if not
336 encoded
337 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
338 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
339 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
340 - large update to btool manpage
341 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
342 2007/02/15
343 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
344 - removed commented code from translate.cc
345 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
346 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
347 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
348 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
349 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
350 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
351 instead of hardcoding it.
352 2007/02/10
353 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
354 - minor tweaks to README
355 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
356 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
357 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
358 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
359 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
360 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
361 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
362 2007/02/09
363 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
364 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
365 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
366 - added iomanip to debug.h
367 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
368 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
369 2007/02/04
370 - updated AUTHORS
371 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
372 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
373 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
374 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
375 from Ian Darwin
376 2007/02/03
377 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
378 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
379 - updated AUTHORS
380 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
381 2007/02/02
382 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
383 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
384 one base class: Barry::Error
385 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
386 - added BadPassword exception
387 2007/02/01
388 - version bump in:
389 - configure.ac
390 - src/Makefile.am
391 - src/version.cc
392 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
393 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
394 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
395 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
396 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
397 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
398 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
399 in the future.
400 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
401 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
402 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
403 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
404 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
405 due to pending reads
407 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
408 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
409 2007/01/26
410 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
411 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
412 - iostream output size fixes
413 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
414 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
415 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
416 this is still experimental
417 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
418 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
419 Debian stable
420 - uncommented the about box menu handler
421 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
422 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
423 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
424 2007/01/25
425 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
426 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
427 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
428 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
429 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
430 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
431 and record objects that use it.
432 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
433 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
434 32 bits
435 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
436 This returns the default rectype that should work
437 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
438 the device, but in the case where a database has no
439 records, this info would be good to know.
440 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
441 to use GetDefaultRecType()
442 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
443 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
444 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
445 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
446 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
447 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
448 - backup GUI updates:
449 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
450 and changed the logic so the restore continues
451 even if there was a protocol error on one database
452 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
453 i.e. Backup or Restore
454 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
455 it appears to be read-only on the device
456 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
457 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
458 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
459 supported now by the library
460 2007/01/21
461 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
462 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
463 - changes to patch:
464 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
465 using the library should not care about endianness
466 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
467 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
468 install
469 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
470 for the same reason
471 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
472 Version call instead
473 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
474 - updated AUTHORS
475 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
476 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
477 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
478 2007/01/20
479 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
480 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
481 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
482 some older devices
483 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
484 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
485 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
486 through btool, for development
487 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
488 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
489 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
490 - finished implementation of GUI restore
491 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
492 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
493 exceptions need to be handled with
494 Glib::add_exception_handler()
495 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
496 - added pending gui/TODO items
497 2007/01/19
498 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
499 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
500 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
501 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
502 when we try to write to it)
503 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
504 2007/01/18
505 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
506 2007/01/13
507 - updated copyright dates for the new year
508 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
509 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
510 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
511 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
512 - updated README
513 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
514 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
515 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
516 backups only at this point

518 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
519 - added version API, returning version number and string
520 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
521 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
522 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
523 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
524 2007/01/05
525 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
526 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
527 in probe.h)
528 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
529 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
530 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
531 leaving the device in Desktop mode
532 2007/01/04
533 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
534 different rules
535 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
536 USB product ID 6
537 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
538 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
539 2006/12/29
540 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am

544 2006/12/29
545 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
546 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
547 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
548 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
549 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
550 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
551 depend on.
552 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
553 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
554 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
555 package scripts

558 a future Debian install
559 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
560 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
561 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
562 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
563 2006/12/21
564 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
565 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
566 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

584 into their own tools/ subdirectory
585 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
586 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
587 use only

590 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
591 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
592 properly when installed standalone
593 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
594 installed barry library
595 - added commentary on version number system
596 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
597 system supercedes it
598 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
599 - added library version number to autoconf build
600 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions

634 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
635 at once
636 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
637 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
638 more use of the base exception to make sure no
639 exceptions leak into the C library code

645 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
646 2006/09/29
647 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
648 the bug report
649 2006/09/08
650 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
651 splitting the code into 3 groups:
652 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
653 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
654 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
655 header of its own, in the case of email
656 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
657 Record does not know the details of the packet
658 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
659 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
660 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
661 providing an API for it... packet does not know
662 the record format details, but does know the
663 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
664 packet format.
665 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
666 of operation formats and record formats, with the
667 record formats being the same even with different
668 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
669 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
670 See the header size of the email record after
671 refactoring.
672 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
673 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
674 The Controller object does not know the format
675 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
676 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
677 to talk to the device.
678 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
679 we come!
680 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
681 2006/09/01
682 - added sample hotplug scripts
683 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
684 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
685 handle non-little-endian machines
686 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
687 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
688 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
689 and cause a failure to reach the device...
690 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
691 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
692 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
693 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
694 engineered.
695 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
696 for smarter syncing
697 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
698 flags of individual blackberry device records
699 - added endian macros throughout the code
700 2006/07/13
701 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
702 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN

704 for development)
705 - removed slow sync functions for now
706 2006/07/07
707 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
708 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
709 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
710 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
711 the base classes for all exceptions
712 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
713 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
714 2006/06/22
715 - added to Contact record class:
716 - Clear()
717 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
718 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
719 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
720 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
721 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
722 and upload it to a blackberry
723 - updated src/.cvsignore
724 2006/06/16
725 - added parsing of service book fields:
726 - old and new name
727 - old and new unique ID (UID)
728 - content ID (CID)
729 - old and new description
730 - DSID
731 - bes domain / domain
732 - date change in legal.txt
733 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
734 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
735 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
736 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
737 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
738 2006/06/09
739 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
740 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
741 - added AUTHORS file
742 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
743 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
744 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
745 2006/05/25
746 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
747 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

763 - copyright dates updated for 2006
764 2006/01/05
765 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

769 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
770 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
771 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

774 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
775 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
776 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

791 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
792 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
793 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
794 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
795 throw exception in controller.cc
796 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
797 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
798 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
799 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
800 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
801 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
802 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

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

811 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
812 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
813 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
814 this obsolete)
815 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
816 2005/12/10
817 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
818 - added boost::serialization to build
819 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
820 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
821 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
822 a special 3 byte size packet is sent

836 for later saving
837 2005/12/07
838 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
839 optimize away protocol struct casts
840 see:

845 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
846 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
847 structs are completely hidden in the library...
848 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
850 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
851 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

872 2005/11/19
873 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
874 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
875 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
876 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
877 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
878 Observed maximum blank count: 1
879 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
880 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
881 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
882 seem to need more time...)
883 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
884 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
885 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
886 with Python, if used(?)
887 - added Message class for Email records
888 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
889 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
890 available, and parses it with a Parser object

902 - added header comments to convo.awk script
903 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
904 better suited to its general API purpose
905 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
906 a public API function
907 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
908 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
909 the command line
910 - added mode checks to Controller
911 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
912 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

914 file based
915 2005/11/18
916 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
917 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
918 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
919 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
920 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
921 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
922 from the Command Table
923 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
924 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
925 the Cassis spec more closely
926 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
927 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
928 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
929 destructors
930 2005/11/17
931 - added Doxyfile to the project
932 - tuned Makefile
933 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
934 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
935 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
936 data transfers.
937 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
938 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
939 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
940 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
941 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
942 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
943 less buffer than data copied
944 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
945 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
946 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
947 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
948 data
949 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
950 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
951 saved
952 - implemented socket::Close()
953 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
954 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
955 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
956 2005/11/11
957 - added .cvsignore files to project
958 - added README notes to document the source architecture
959 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
960 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
961 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
962 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
963 -l = list only
964 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
965 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
966 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
967 results
968 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
969 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
970 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
971 - regular debug output
972 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
973 syslog someday, and never turned off)
974 - raw data dump output
975 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
976 numbers into english (limited success)
977 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
978 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
979 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
980 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
981 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
982 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
983 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
984 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
985 for socket 0 operations.
986 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
987 MAKE_PACKET()
988 COMMAND()
989 IS_COMMAND()
990 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
991 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
992 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
993 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
994 2005/10/20
995 - syncberry tree started
