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 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
16 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
17 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
18 2007/06/07
19 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
20 2007/06/06
21 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
22 - changes to PIN message patch:
23 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
24 - fixed tab alignment throughout
25 - removed typedef from Address struct
26 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
27 going to be a standalone type
28 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
29 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
30 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
31 backing on a field for other use
32 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
33 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
34 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
35 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
36 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
37 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
38 PIN Message so that we store both of these
39 - updated AUTHORS

93 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
94 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
95 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
96 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
97 libbarry
98 libbarry-dev
99 barry-util
100 barrybackup-gui
101 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
102 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
103 small on Debian Etch
104 - opensync plugin:
105 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
106 based on the example plugin in the opensync
107 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far

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

148 2007/04/27
149 - opensync module:
150 - removed some unneeded trace logs
151 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
152 m_Data pointer
153 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
154 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
155 if empty
156 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
157 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
158 2007/04/26
159 - opensync module work:
160 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
161 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
162 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
163 a hard coded calendar record state table
164 - added lots of logging throughout
165 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
166 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
167 causing another sync on the next run
168 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
169 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
170 written to the Blackberry
171 - more opensync module work:
172 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
173 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
174 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
175 the environment classes
176 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
177 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
178 2007/04/20
179 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
180 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
181 a sample configuration
182 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
183 on success (opensync module)
184 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
185 - allowed comments in the config file
186 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
187 routines are not available from the plugin side
188 2007/04/19
189 - updated gui/TODO
190 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
191 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
192 only use idProduct, and updated man page
193 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
194 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
195 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
196 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
197 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
198 and the old search didn't always work
199 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
200 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
201 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
202 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
203 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
204 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
205 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
206 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
207 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
208 search at 0
209 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
210 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
211 the vevent20 data (experimental)
212 2007/04/04
213 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
214 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
215 2007/03/30
216 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
217 if found
218 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
219 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
220 of the project
221 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
222 2007/03/29
223 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
224 - updated AUTHORS
225 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
226 FullName, even if there was no last name)
227 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
228 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
229 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
230 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
231 this special case, without relying on string length.
232 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
233 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
234 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
235 2007/03/17
236 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
237 2007/03/16
238 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
239 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
240 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
241 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
242 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
243 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
244 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
245 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
246 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
247 in some cases
248 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
249 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
250 2007/03/08
251 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
252 udev rules for the Pearl
253 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
254 functionality
255 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
256 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
257 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
258 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
259 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
260 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
261 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
262 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
263 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
264 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
265 - added license file to each package
266 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
267 discussion
268 - updated AUTHORS
269 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
270 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
271 for the bug report
272 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
273 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
274 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
275 user.
276 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
277 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
278 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
279 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
280 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
281 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
282 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
283 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
284 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
285 as a guide
286 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
287 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
288 2007/03/02
289 - version bump in:
290 - configure.ac
291 - src/Makefile.am
292 - src/version.cc
293 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
294 - src/Doxyfile
295 - rpm/barry.spec
296 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
297 for it
298 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
299 device discovery code
300 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
301 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
302 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
303 than are really available... in this case, let's
304 just ignore the missing data and assume success
305 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
306 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
307 - ReleaseChecklist update
308 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
309 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
310 dependency
312 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
313 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
314 2007/02/28
315 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
316 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
317 - added initial release maintainer scripts
318 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
319 no databases selected in configuration
320 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
321 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
322 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
323 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
324 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
325 2007/02/23
326 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
327 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
328 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
329 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
330 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
331 -v now controls this as well
332 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
333 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
334 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
335 the beginning of USB conversations
336 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
337 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
338 its sequence number behaviour
339 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
340 socket 0 level command
341 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
342 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
343 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
344 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
345 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
346 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
347 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
348 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
349 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
350 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
351 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
352 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
353 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
354 of socket 0 packets
355 - updated controller.cc:
356 - uses new socket 0 implementation
357 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
358 selecting modes, as it should use the
359 socket 0 sequence number
360 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
361 - updated some .cvsignore files
362 - updated TODO
363 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
364 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
365 - ChallengeSeed()
366 - RemainingTries()
367 - SocketResponse()
368 - SocketSqeuence()
369 - moved Command() to base Packet class
370 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
371 new PasswordChallenge struct
372 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
373 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
374 password hashing logic.
375 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
376 2007/02/22
377 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
378 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
379 - major LDIF overhaul:
380 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
381 into its own
382 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
383 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
384 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
385 contact field names
386 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
387 if necessary
388 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
389 notes fields were missed in old version if not
390 encoded
391 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
392 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
393 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
394 - large update to btool manpage
395 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
396 2007/02/15
397 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
398 - removed commented code from translate.cc
399 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
400 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
401 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
402 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
403 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
404 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
405 instead of hardcoding it.
406 2007/02/10
407 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
408 - minor tweaks to README
409 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
410 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
411 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
412 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
413 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
414 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
415 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
416 2007/02/09
417 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
418 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
419 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
420 - added iomanip to debug.h
421 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
422 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
423 2007/02/04
424 - updated AUTHORS
425 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
426 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
427 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
428 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
429 from Ian Darwin
430 2007/02/03
431 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
432 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
433 - updated AUTHORS
434 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
435 2007/02/02
436 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
437 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
438 one base class: Barry::Error
439 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
440 - added BadPassword exception
441 2007/02/01
442 - version bump in:
443 - configure.ac
444 - src/Makefile.am
445 - src/version.cc
446 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
447 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
448 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
449 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
450 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
451 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
452 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
453 in the future.
454 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
455 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
456 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
457 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
458 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
459 due to pending reads
461 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
463 2007/01/26
464 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
465 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
466 - iostream output size fixes
467 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
468 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
469 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
470 this is still experimental
471 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
472 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
473 Debian stable
474 - uncommented the about box menu handler
475 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
476 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
477 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
478 2007/01/25
479 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
480 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
481 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
482 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
483 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
484 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
485 and record objects that use it.
486 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
487 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
488 32 bits
489 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
490 This returns the default rectype that should work
491 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
492 the device, but in the case where a database has no
493 records, this info would be good to know.
494 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
495 to use GetDefaultRecType()
496 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
497 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
498 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
499 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
500 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
501 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
502 - backup GUI updates:
503 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
504 and changed the logic so the restore continues
505 even if there was a protocol error on one database
506 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
507 i.e. Backup or Restore
508 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
509 it appears to be read-only on the device
510 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
511 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
512 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
513 supported now by the library
514 2007/01/21
515 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
516 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
517 - changes to patch:
518 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
519 using the library should not care about endianness
520 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
521 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
522 install
523 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
524 for the same reason
525 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
526 Version call instead
527 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
528 - updated AUTHORS
529 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
530 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
531 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
532 2007/01/20
533 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
534 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
535 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
536 some older devices
537 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
538 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
539 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
540 through btool, for development
541 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
542 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
543 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
544 - finished implementation of GUI restore
545 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
546 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
547 exceptions need to be handled with
548 Glib::add_exception_handler()
549 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
550 - added pending gui/TODO items
551 2007/01/19
552 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
553 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
554 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
555 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
556 when we try to write to it)
557 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
558 2007/01/18
559 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
560 2007/01/13
561 - updated copyright dates for the new year
562 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
563 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
564 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
565 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
566 - updated README
567 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
568 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
569 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
570 backups only at this point
571 2007/01/11
572 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
573 - added version API, returning version number and string
574 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
575 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
576 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
577 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
578 2007/01/05
579 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
580 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
581 in probe.h)
582 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
583 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
584 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
585 leaving the device in Desktop mode
586 2007/01/04
587 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
588 different rules
589 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
590 USB product ID 6
591 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
592 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
593 2006/12/29
594 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
596 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
597 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
598 2006/12/29
599 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
600 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
601 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
602 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
603 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
604 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
605 depend on.
606 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
607 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
608 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
609 package scripts
610 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
611 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
612 a future Debian install
613 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
614 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
615 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
616 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
617 2006/12/21
618 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
619 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
620 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
621 - fixed more endian issues
622 - minor update to TODO
623 2006/12/15
624 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/

631 2006/12/07
632 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
633 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
634 on old build system if wanted

636 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
637 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
638 into their own tools/ subdirectory
639 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
640 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
641 use only
642 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
643 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
644 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
645 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
646 properly when installed standalone
647 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
648 installed barry library
649 - added commentary on version number system
650 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
651 system supercedes it
652 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
653 - added library version number to autoconf build
654 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
655 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
656 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
657 option... may need to revisit this later
658 - quick installation update in README
659 2006/12/01
660 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
661 some size checks
662 - fixed endian issues in time.h

664 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
665 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
666 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
667 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
668 2006/11/24
669 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
670 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
672 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
673 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
674 2006/11/23
675 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
676 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
677 from any int
678 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
679 uploading to device to fail
680 2006/11/10

688 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
689 at once
690 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
691 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
692 more use of the base exception to make sure no
693 exceptions leak into the C library code
695 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
696 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
697 2006/10/12
698 - fixed casting error in opensync module
699 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
700 2006/09/29
701 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
702 the bug report
703 2006/09/08
704 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
705 splitting the code into 3 groups:
706 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
707 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
708 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
709 header of its own, in the case of email
710 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
711 Record does not know the details of the packet
712 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
713 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
714 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
715 providing an API for it... packet does not know
716 the record format details, but does know the
717 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
718 packet format.
719 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
720 of operation formats and record formats, with the
721 record formats being the same even with different
722 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
723 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
724 See the header size of the email record after
725 refactoring.
726 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
727 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
728 The Controller object does not know the format
729 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
730 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
731 to talk to the device.
732 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
733 we come!
734 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
735 2006/09/01
736 - added sample hotplug scripts
737 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
738 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
739 handle non-little-endian machines
740 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
741 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
742 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
743 and cause a failure to reach the device...
744 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
745 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
746 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
747 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
748 engineered.
749 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
750 for smarter syncing
751 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
752 flags of individual blackberry device records
753 - added endian macros throughout the code
754 2006/07/13
755 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
756 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
757 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
758 for development)
759 - removed slow sync functions for now
760 2006/07/07
761 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
762 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
763 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
764 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
765 the base classes for all exceptions
766 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
767 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
768 2006/06/22
769 - added to Contact record class:
770 - Clear()
771 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
772 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
773 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
774 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
775 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
776 and upload it to a blackberry
777 - updated src/.cvsignore
778 2006/06/16
779 - added parsing of service book fields:
780 - old and new name
781 - old and new unique ID (UID)
782 - content ID (CID)
783 - old and new description
784 - DSID
785 - bes domain / domain
786 - date change in legal.txt
787 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
788 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
789 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
790 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
791 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
792 2006/06/09
793 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
794 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
795 - added AUTHORS file
796 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
797 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
798 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
799 2006/05/25

815 of Controller template member usage
816 2006/03/29
817 - copyright dates updated for 2006
818 2006/01/05
819 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

822 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
823 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
824 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
825 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

828 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
829 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)

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

872 - added boost::serialization to build
873 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
874 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
875 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
876 a special 3 byte size packet is sent

893 optimize away protocol struct casts
894 see:

899 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
900 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
901 structs are completely hidden in the library...
902 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
904 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
905 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
906 2005/11/25

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

956 - added header comments to convo.awk script
957 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
958 better suited to its general API purpose
959 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
960 a public API function
961 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
962 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
963 the command line
964 - added mode checks to Controller
965 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
966 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
967 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
968 file based
969 2005/11/18
970 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
971 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
972 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
973 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
974 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
975 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
976 from the Command Table
977 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
978 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
979 the Cassis spec more closely
980 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
981 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
982 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
983 destructors
984 2005/11/17
985 - added Doxyfile to the project
986 - tuned Makefile
987 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
988 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
989 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
990 data transfers.
991 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
992 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
993 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
994 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
995 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
996 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
997 less buffer than data copied
998 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
999 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1000 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1001 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1002 data
1003 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1004 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1005 saved
1006 - implemented socket::Close()
1007 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1008 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1009 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1010 2005/11/11
1011 - added .cvsignore files to project
1012 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1013 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1014 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1015 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1016 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1017 -l = list only
1018 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1019 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1020 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1021 results
1022 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1023 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1024 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1025 - regular debug output
1026 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1027 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1028 - raw data dump output
1029 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1030 numbers into english (limited success)
1031 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1032 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1033 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1034 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1035 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1036 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1037 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1038 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1039 for socket 0 operations.
1040 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1041 MAKE_PACKET()
1042 COMMAND()
1043 IS_COMMAND()
1044 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1045 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1046 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1047 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
