1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/06/08
4 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
5 dependency
6 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
7 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
8 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
9 SetIds() is already there
10 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
11 and moved into record.h
12 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
13 be more mbox-like
14 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
15 2007/06/07
16 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
17 2007/06/06
18 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
19 - changes to PIN message patch:
20 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
21 - fixed tab alignment throughout
22 - removed typedef from Address struct
23 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
24 going to be a standalone type
25 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
26 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
27 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
28 backing on a field for other use
29 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
30 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
31 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
32 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
33 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
34 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
35 PIN Message so that we store both of these
36 - updated AUTHORS

70 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
71 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
72 - backup gui:
73 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
74 - changed the default for debug output to "off"

76 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
77 - command line option --help now also works
78 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
79 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
80 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,

88 Outlook from the comments.
89 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
90 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
91 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
92 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
93 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
94 libbarry
95 libbarry-dev
96 barry-util
97 barrybackup-gui
98 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
99 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
100 small on Debian Etch
101 - opensync plugin:
102 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
103 based on the example plugin in the opensync
104 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
105 is incomplete
106 2007/05/04
107 - opensync plugin:
108 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
109 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error

132 - opensync plugin:
133 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
134 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
135 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
136 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
137 xml data format...
138 - added development note to README
139 2007/04/29
140 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
141 build instructions
142 - opensync plugin:
143 - refactored some calendar conversion routines

145 2007/04/27
146 - opensync module:
147 - removed some unneeded trace logs
148 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
149 m_Data pointer
150 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
151 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
152 if empty
153 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
154 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
155 2007/04/26
156 - opensync module work:
157 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
158 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
159 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
160 a hard coded calendar record state table
161 - added lots of logging throughout
162 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
163 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
164 causing another sync on the next run
165 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
166 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
167 written to the Blackberry
168 - more opensync module work:
169 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
170 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
171 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
172 the environment classes
173 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
174 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
175 2007/04/20
176 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
177 file for the opensync module... and filled it with

180 on success (opensync module)
181 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
182 - allowed comments in the config file
183 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
184 routines are not available from the plugin side
185 2007/04/19
186 - updated gui/TODO
187 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
188 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
189 only use idProduct, and updated man page
190 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
191 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
192 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
193 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
194 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
195 and the old search didn't always work
196 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
197 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
198 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
199 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
200 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
201 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
202 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
203 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
204 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
205 search at 0
206 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
207 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
208 the vevent20 data (experimental)
209 2007/04/04
210 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
211 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
212 2007/03/30
213 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
214 if found
215 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
216 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
217 of the project
218 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
219 2007/03/29
220 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
221 - updated AUTHORS
222 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
223 FullName, even if there was no last name)
224 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
225 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
226 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
227 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
228 this special case, without relying on string length.
229 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
230 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
231 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
232 2007/03/17
233 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
234 2007/03/16
235 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
236 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
237 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
238 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
239 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
240 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
241 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
242 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
243 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
244 in some cases
245 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
246 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
247 2007/03/08
248 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
249 udev rules for the Pearl
250 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
251 functionality
252 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
253 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
254 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
255 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
256 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
257 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
258 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
259 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
260 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
261 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
262 - added license file to each package
263 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
264 discussion
265 - updated AUTHORS
266 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
267 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
268 for the bug report
269 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
270 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
271 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
272 user.
273 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
274 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
275 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
276 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
277 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
278 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
279 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
280 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
281 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
282 as a guide
283 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
284 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
285 2007/03/02
286 - version bump in:
287 - configure.ac
288 - src/Makefile.am
289 - src/version.cc
290 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
291 - src/Doxyfile
292 - rpm/barry.spec
293 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
294 for it
295 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
296 device discovery code
297 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
298 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
299 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
300 than are really available... in this case, let's
301 just ignore the missing data and assume success
302 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
303 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
304 - ReleaseChecklist update
305 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
306 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
307 dependency
309 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
310 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
311 2007/02/28
312 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
313 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
314 - added initial release maintainer scripts
315 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
316 no databases selected in configuration
317 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
318 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
319 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
320 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
321 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
322 2007/02/23
323 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
324 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
325 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
326 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
327 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
328 -v now controls this as well
329 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
330 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
331 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
332 the beginning of USB conversations
333 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
334 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
335 its sequence number behaviour
336 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
337 socket 0 level command
338 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
339 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
340 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
341 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
342 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
343 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
344 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
345 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
346 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
347 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
348 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
349 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
350 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
351 of socket 0 packets
352 - updated controller.cc:
353 - uses new socket 0 implementation
354 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
355 selecting modes, as it should use the
356 socket 0 sequence number
357 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
358 - updated some .cvsignore files
359 - updated TODO
360 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
361 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
362 - ChallengeSeed()
363 - RemainingTries()
364 - SocketResponse()
365 - SocketSqeuence()
366 - moved Command() to base Packet class
367 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
368 new PasswordChallenge struct
369 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
370 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
371 password hashing logic.
372 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
373 2007/02/22
374 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
375 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
376 - major LDIF overhaul:
377 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
378 into its own
379 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
380 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
381 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
382 contact field names
383 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
384 if necessary
385 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
386 notes fields were missed in old version if not
387 encoded
388 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
389 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
390 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
391 - large update to btool manpage
392 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
393 2007/02/15
394 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
395 - removed commented code from translate.cc
396 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
397 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
398 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
399 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
400 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
401 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
402 instead of hardcoding it.
403 2007/02/10
404 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
405 - minor tweaks to README
406 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
407 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
408 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
409 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
410 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
411 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
412 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
413 2007/02/09
414 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
415 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
416 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
417 - added iomanip to debug.h
418 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
419 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
420 2007/02/04
421 - updated AUTHORS
422 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
423 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
424 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
425 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
426 from Ian Darwin
427 2007/02/03
428 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
429 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
430 - updated AUTHORS
431 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
432 2007/02/02
433 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
434 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
435 one base class: Barry::Error
436 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
437 - added BadPassword exception
438 2007/02/01
439 - version bump in:
440 - configure.ac
441 - src/Makefile.am
442 - src/version.cc
443 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
444 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
445 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
446 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
447 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
448 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
449 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
450 in the future.
451 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
452 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
453 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
454 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
455 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
456 due to pending reads
458 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
459 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
460 2007/01/26
461 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
462 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
463 - iostream output size fixes
464 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
465 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
466 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
467 this is still experimental
468 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
469 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
470 Debian stable
471 - uncommented the about box menu handler
472 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
473 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
474 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
475 2007/01/25
476 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
477 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
478 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
479 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
480 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
481 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
482 and record objects that use it.
483 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
484 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
485 32 bits
486 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
487 This returns the default rectype that should work
488 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
489 the device, but in the case where a database has no
490 records, this info would be good to know.
491 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
492 to use GetDefaultRecType()
493 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
494 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
495 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
496 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
497 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
498 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
499 - backup GUI updates:
500 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
501 and changed the logic so the restore continues
502 even if there was a protocol error on one database
503 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
504 i.e. Backup or Restore
505 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
506 it appears to be read-only on the device
507 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
508 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
509 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
510 supported now by the library
511 2007/01/21
512 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
513 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
514 - changes to patch:
515 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
516 using the library should not care about endianness
517 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
518 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
519 install
520 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
521 for the same reason
522 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
523 Version call instead
524 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
525 - updated AUTHORS
526 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
527 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
528 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
529 2007/01/20
530 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
531 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
532 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
533 some older devices
534 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
535 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
536 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
537 through btool, for development
538 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
539 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
540 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
541 - finished implementation of GUI restore
542 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
543 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
544 exceptions need to be handled with
545 Glib::add_exception_handler()
546 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
547 - added pending gui/TODO items
548 2007/01/19
549 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
550 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
551 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
552 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
553 when we try to write to it)
554 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
555 2007/01/18
556 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
557 2007/01/13
558 - updated copyright dates for the new year
559 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
560 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
561 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
562 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
563 - updated README
564 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
565 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
566 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
567 backups only at this point
568 2007/01/11
569 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
570 - added version API, returning version number and string
571 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
572 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
573 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
574 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
575 2007/01/05
576 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
577 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
578 in probe.h)
579 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
580 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
581 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
582 leaving the device in Desktop mode
583 2007/01/04
584 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
585 different rules
586 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
587 USB product ID 6
588 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
589 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
590 2006/12/29
591 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
593 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
594 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
595 2006/12/29
596 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
597 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
598 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
599 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
600 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
601 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
602 depend on.
603 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
604 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
605 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
606 package scripts
607 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
608 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
609 a future Debian install
610 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
611 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
612 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
613 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
614 2006/12/21
615 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
616 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
617 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
618 - fixed more endian issues
619 - minor update to TODO
620 2006/12/15

635 into their own tools/ subdirectory
636 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
637 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
638 use only
639 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
640 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
641 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
642 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
643 properly when installed standalone
644 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
645 installed barry library
646 - added commentary on version number system
647 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
648 system supercedes it
649 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
650 - added library version number to autoconf build
651 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
652 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

670 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
671 2006/11/23
672 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
673 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
674 from any int
675 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused

685 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
686 at once
687 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
688 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
689 more use of the base exception to make sure no
690 exceptions leak into the C library code

693 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
694 2006/10/12

698 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
699 the bug report
700 2006/09/08
701 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
702 splitting the code into 3 groups:
703 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
704 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
705 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
706 header of its own, in the case of email
707 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
708 Record does not know the details of the packet
709 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
710 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
711 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
712 providing an API for it... packet does not know
713 the record format details, but does know the
714 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
715 packet format.
716 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
717 of operation formats and record formats, with the
718 record formats being the same even with different
719 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
720 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
721 See the header size of the email record after
722 refactoring.
723 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
724 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
725 The Controller object does not know the format
726 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
727 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
728 to talk to the device.
729 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
730 we come!
731 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
732 2006/09/01
733 - added sample hotplug scripts
734 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
735 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
736 handle non-little-endian machines
737 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
738 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
739 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
740 and cause a failure to reach the device...
741 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
742 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
743 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
744 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
745 engineered.
746 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
747 for smarter syncing
748 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
749 flags of individual blackberry device records
750 - added endian macros throughout the code
751 2006/07/13
752 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
753 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
754 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
755 for development)
756 - removed slow sync functions for now
757 2006/07/07
758 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
759 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
760 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
761 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
762 the base classes for all exceptions
763 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
764 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
765 2006/06/22
766 - added to Contact record class:
767 - Clear()
768 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
769 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
770 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
771 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
772 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
773 and upload it to a blackberry
774 - updated src/.cvsignore
775 2006/06/16
776 - added parsing of service book fields:
777 - old and new name
778 - old and new unique ID (UID)
779 - content ID (CID)
780 - old and new description
781 - DSID
782 - bes domain / domain
783 - date change in legal.txt
784 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
785 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
786 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
787 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
788 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
789 2006/06/09
790 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
791 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
792 - added AUTHORS file
793 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
794 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
795 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
796 2006/05/25
797 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
798 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

812 of Controller template member usage
813 2006/03/29
814 - copyright dates updated for 2006
815 2006/01/05
816 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

820 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
821 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
822 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
823 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT

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

842 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
843 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
844 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
845 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
846 throw exception in controller.cc
847 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
848 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
849 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
850 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
851 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
852 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
853 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

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

862 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
863 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
864 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
865 this obsolete)

869 - added boost::serialization to build
870 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
871 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
872 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
873 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
874 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
875 properly serialized
876 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
877 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
878 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld

886 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
887 for later saving
888 2005/12/07
889 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
890 optimize away protocol struct casts
891 see:
892 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

896 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
897 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
898 structs are completely hidden in the library...
899 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
901 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

923 2005/11/19
924 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
925 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
926 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
927 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
928 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
929 Observed maximum blank count: 1
930 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
931 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
932 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
933 seem to need more time...)
934 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
935 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
936 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
937 with Python, if used(?)
938 - added Message class for Email records
939 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
940 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

957 a public API function
958 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
959 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
960 the command line
961 - added mode checks to Controller
962 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
963 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

965 file based
966 2005/11/18
967 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
968 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
969 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
970 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output

972 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
973 from the Command Table
974 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
975 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
976 the Cassis spec more closely
977 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
978 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
979 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
980 destructors
981 2005/11/17
982 - added Doxyfile to the project
983 - tuned Makefile
984 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
985 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
986 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
987 data transfers.
988 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
989 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
990 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
991 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
992 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
993 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
994 less buffer than data copied
995 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
996 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
997 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
998 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
999 data
1000 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1001 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1002 saved
1003 - implemented socket::Close()

1011 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1012 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1013 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1014 -l = list only
1015 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1016 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1017 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1018 results
1019 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1020 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1021 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1022 - regular debug output
1023 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1024 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1025 - raw data dump output
1026 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1027 numbers into english (limited success)
1028 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1029 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1030 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1031 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1032 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1033 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1034 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1035 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1036 for socket 0 operations.
1037 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1038 MAKE_PACKET()
1039 COMMAND()
1040 IS_COMMAND()
1041 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1042 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1043 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1044 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
