9 - FreeBusyFlag
10 - Clear() fixes
11 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
12 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
13 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused

22 and added a command line option to turn
23 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
24 - command line option --help now also works
25 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
26 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
27 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,

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

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

100 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
101 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
102 2007/04/26
103 - opensync module work:
104 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
105 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
106 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
107 a hard coded calendar record state table
108 - added lots of logging throughout
109 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
110 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
111 causing another sync on the next run
112 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
113 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
114 written to the Blackberry
115 - more opensync module work:
116 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
117 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
118 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
119 the environment classes
120 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
121 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
122 2007/04/20
123 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
124 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
125 a sample configuration
126 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
127 on success (opensync module)
128 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
129 - allowed comments in the config file
130 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
131 routines are not available from the plugin side
132 2007/04/19
133 - updated gui/TODO
134 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
135 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
136 only use idProduct, and updated man page
137 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
138 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
139 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
140 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
141 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
142 and the old search didn't always work
143 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
144 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
145 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
146 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
147 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
148 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
149 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
150 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
151 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
152 search at 0
153 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
154 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
155 the vevent20 data (experimental)
156 2007/04/04
157 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
158 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
159 2007/03/30
160 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
161 if found
162 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
163 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
164 of the project
165 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
166 2007/03/29
167 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
168 - updated AUTHORS
169 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
170 FullName, even if there was no last name)
171 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
172 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
173 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
174 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
175 this special case, without relying on string length.
176 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
177 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
178 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
179 2007/03/17
180 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
181 2007/03/16
182 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
183 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
184 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
185 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
186 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
187 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
188 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
189 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
190 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
191 in some cases
192 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
193 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
194 2007/03/08
195 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
196 udev rules for the Pearl
197 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
198 functionality
199 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
200 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
201 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
202 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
203 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
204 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
205 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
206 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
207 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
208 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
209 - added license file to each package
210 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
211 discussion
212 - updated AUTHORS
213 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
214 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
215 for the bug report
216 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
217 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
218 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
219 user.
220 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
221 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
222 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
223 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
224 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
225 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
226 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
227 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
228 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
229 as a guide
230 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
231 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
232 2007/03/02
233 - version bump in:
234 - configure.ac
235 - src/Makefile.am
236 - src/version.cc
237 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
238 - src/Doxyfile
239 - rpm/barry.spec
240 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
241 for it
242 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
243 device discovery code
244 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
245 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
246 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
247 than are really available... in this case, let's
248 just ignore the missing data and assume success
249 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
250 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
251 - ReleaseChecklist update
252 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
253 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
254 dependency
256 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
257 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
258 2007/02/28
259 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
260 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
261 - added initial release maintainer scripts
262 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
263 no databases selected in configuration
264 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
265 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
266 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
267 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
268 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
269 2007/02/23
270 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
271 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
272 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
273 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
274 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
275 -v now controls this as well
276 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
277 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
278 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
279 the beginning of USB conversations
280 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
281 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
282 its sequence number behaviour
283 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
284 socket 0 level command
285 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
286 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
287 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
288 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
289 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
290 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
291 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
292 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
293 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
294 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
295 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
296 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
297 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
298 of socket 0 packets
299 - updated controller.cc:
300 - uses new socket 0 implementation
301 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
302 selecting modes, as it should use the
303 socket 0 sequence number
304 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
305 - updated some .cvsignore files
306 - updated TODO
307 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
308 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
309 - ChallengeSeed()
310 - RemainingTries()
311 - SocketResponse()
312 - SocketSqeuence()
313 - moved Command() to base Packet class
314 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
315 new PasswordChallenge struct
316 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
317 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
318 password hashing logic.
319 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
320 2007/02/22
321 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
322 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
323 - major LDIF overhaul:
324 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
325 into its own
326 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
327 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
328 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
329 contact field names
330 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
331 if necessary
332 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
333 notes fields were missed in old version if not
334 encoded
335 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
336 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
337 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
338 - large update to btool manpage
339 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
340 2007/02/15
341 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
342 - removed commented code from translate.cc
343 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
344 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
345 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
346 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
347 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
348 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
349 instead of hardcoding it.
350 2007/02/10
351 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
352 - minor tweaks to README
353 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
354 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
355 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
356 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
357 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
358 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
359 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
360 2007/02/09
361 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
362 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
363 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
364 - added iomanip to debug.h
365 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
366 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
367 2007/02/04
368 - updated AUTHORS
369 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
370 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
371 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
372 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
373 from Ian Darwin
374 2007/02/03
375 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
376 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
377 - updated AUTHORS
378 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
379 2007/02/02
380 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
381 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
382 one base class: Barry::Error
383 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
384 - added BadPassword exception
385 2007/02/01
386 - version bump in:
387 - configure.ac
388 - src/Makefile.am
389 - src/version.cc
390 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
391 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
392 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
393 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
394 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
395 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
396 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
397 in the future.
398 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
399 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
400 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
401 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
402 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
403 due to pending reads
405 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
406 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
407 2007/01/26
408 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
409 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
410 - iostream output size fixes
411 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
412 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
413 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
414 this is still experimental
415 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
416 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
417 Debian stable
418 - uncommented the about box menu handler
419 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
420 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
421 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
422 2007/01/25
423 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
424 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
425 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
426 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
427 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
428 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
429 and record objects that use it.
430 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
431 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
432 32 bits
433 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
434 This returns the default rectype that should work
435 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
436 the device, but in the case where a database has no
437 records, this info would be good to know.
438 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
439 to use GetDefaultRecType()
440 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
441 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
442 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
443 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
444 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
445 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
446 - backup GUI updates:
447 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
448 and changed the logic so the restore continues
449 even if there was a protocol error on one database
450 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
451 i.e. Backup or Restore
452 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
453 it appears to be read-only on the device
454 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
455 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
456 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
457 supported now by the library
458 2007/01/21
459 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
460 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
461 - changes to patch:
462 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
463 using the library should not care about endianness
464 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
465 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
466 install
467 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
468 for the same reason
469 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
470 Version call instead
471 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
472 - updated AUTHORS
473 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
474 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
475 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
476 2007/01/20
477 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
478 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
479 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
480 some older devices
481 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
482 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
483 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
484 through btool, for development
485 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
486 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
487 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
488 - finished implementation of GUI restore
489 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
490 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
491 exceptions need to be handled with
492 Glib::add_exception_handler()
493 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
494 - added pending gui/TODO items
495 2007/01/19
496 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
497 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
498 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
499 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
500 when we try to write to it)
501 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
502 2007/01/18
503 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
504 2007/01/13
505 - updated copyright dates for the new year
506 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
507 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
508 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
509 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
510 - updated README
511 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
512 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
513 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
514 backups only at this point
515 2007/01/11
516 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
517 - added version API, returning version number and string
518 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
519 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
520 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
521 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
522 2007/01/05
523 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
524 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
525 in probe.h)
526 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
527 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
528 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
529 leaving the device in Desktop mode
530 2007/01/04
531 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
532 different rules
533 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
534 USB product ID 6
535 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
536 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
537 2006/12/29
538 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am

542 2006/12/29
543 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
544 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
545 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
546 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
547 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
548 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
549 depend on.
550 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
551 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
552 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
553 package scripts

555 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
556 a future Debian install
557 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
558 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
559 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
560 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
561 2006/12/21
562 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
563 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
564 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
565 - fixed more endian issues
566 - minor update to TODO
567 2006/12/15

580 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
581 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
582 into their own tools/ subdirectory
583 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
584 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
585 use only
586 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
587 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
588 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
589 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
590 properly when installed standalone
591 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
592 installed barry library
593 - added commentary on version number system
594 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
595 system supercedes it
596 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
597 - added library version number to autoconf build
598 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
599 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

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

640 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
641 2006/10/12

643 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
644 2006/09/29
645 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
646 the bug report
647 2006/09/08
648 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
649 splitting the code into 3 groups:
650 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
651 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
652 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
653 header of its own, in the case of email
654 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
655 Record does not know the details of the packet
656 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
657 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
658 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
659 providing an API for it... packet does not know
660 the record format details, but does know the
661 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
662 packet format.
663 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
664 of operation formats and record formats, with the
665 record formats being the same even with different
666 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
667 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
668 See the header size of the email record after
669 refactoring.
670 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
671 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
672 The Controller object does not know the format
673 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
674 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
675 to talk to the device.
676 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
677 we come!
678 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
679 2006/09/01
680 - added sample hotplug scripts
681 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
682 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
683 handle non-little-endian machines
684 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
685 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
686 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
687 and cause a failure to reach the device...
688 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
689 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
690 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
691 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
692 engineered.
693 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
694 for smarter syncing
695 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
696 flags of individual blackberry device records
697 - added endian macros throughout the code
698 2006/07/13
699 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
700 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
701 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
702 for development)
703 - removed slow sync functions for now
704 2006/07/07
705 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
706 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
707 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
708 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
709 the base classes for all exceptions
710 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
711 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
712 2006/06/22
713 - added to Contact record class:
714 - Clear()
715 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
716 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
717 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
718 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
719 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
720 and upload it to a blackberry
721 - updated src/.cvsignore
722 2006/06/16
723 - added parsing of service book fields:
724 - old and new name
725 - old and new unique ID (UID)
726 - content ID (CID)
727 - old and new description
728 - DSID
729 - bes domain / domain
730 - date change in legal.txt
731 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
732 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
733 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
734 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
735 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
736 2006/06/09
737 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
738 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
739 - added AUTHORS file
740 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
741 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
742 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
743 2006/05/25
744 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
745 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

761 - copyright dates updated for 2006
762 2006/01/05
763 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

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

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

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

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

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

833 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
834 for later saving
835 2005/12/07
836 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
837 optimize away protocol struct casts
838 see:

843 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
844 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
845 structs are completely hidden in the library...
846 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
848 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
849 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

870 2005/11/19
871 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
872 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
873 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
874 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
875 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
876 Observed maximum blank count: 1
877 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
878 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
879 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
880 seem to need more time...)
881 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
882 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
883 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
884 with Python, if used(?)
885 - added Message class for Email records
886 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
887 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
888 available, and parses it with a Parser object

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

912 file based
913 2005/11/18
914 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
915 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
916 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
917 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
918 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
919 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
920 from the Command Table
921 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
922 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
923 the Cassis spec more closely
924 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
925 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
926 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
927 destructors
928 2005/11/17
929 - added Doxyfile to the project
930 - tuned Makefile
931 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
932 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
933 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
934 data transfers.
935 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
936 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
937 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
938 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
939 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
940 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
941 less buffer than data copied
942 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
943 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
944 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
945 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
946 data
947 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
948 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
949 saved
950 - implemented socket::Close()
951 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
952 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
953 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
954 2005/11/11
955 - added .cvsignore files to project
956 - added README notes to document the source architecture
957 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
958 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
959 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
960 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
961 -l = list only
962 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
963 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
964 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
965 results
966 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
967 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
968 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
969 - regular debug output
970 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
971 syslog someday, and never turned off)
972 - raw data dump output
973 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
974 numbers into english (limited success)
975 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
976 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
977 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
978 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
979 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
980 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
981 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
982 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
983 for socket 0 operations.
984 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
985 MAKE_PACKET()
986 COMMAND()
987 IS_COMMAND()
988 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
989 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
990 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
991 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
992 2005/10/20
993 - syncberry tree started
