2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default

8 the base classes for all exceptions

16 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
17 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
18 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
19 and upload it to a blackberry

22 - added parsing of service book fields:
24 - old and new unique ID (UID)
26 - old and new description
29 - date change in legal.txt
30 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
31 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
32 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
33 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
34 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
36 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
37 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
39 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
40 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
41 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
43 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
44 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
46 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
48 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile

50 to the Controller class
51 - new file: controllertmpl.h
52 - documentation fixes in builder.h

54 support of the template Controller functions

58 of Controller template member usage
60 - copyright dates updated for 2006
62 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
63 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
65 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
66 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
67 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
68 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
69 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
70 constants... constants are now removed
71 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc

90 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
91 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
92 throw exception in controller.cc
93 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
94 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
95 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
96 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
97 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
98 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
99 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
100 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

104 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
105 be reused for upload and download

122 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

131 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
132 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
135 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't

143 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
144 structs are completely hidden in the library...
145 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
147 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
148 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

170 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
171 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
172 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
173 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
174 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
175 Observed maximum blank count: 1
176 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
177 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
178 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
179 seem to need more time...)
180 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
181 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
182 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
183 with Python, if used(?)
184 - added Message class for Email records
185 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
186 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
187 available, and parses it with a Parser object
188 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
189 - added test code to retrieve and display all email

197 store object pointers
199 - added header comments to convo.awk script
200 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
201 better suited to its general API purpose
202 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
203 a public API function
204 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
205 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
207 - added mode checks to Controller
208 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
209 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
210 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
213 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
214 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
215 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
216 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
217 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
218 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
219 from the Command Table
220 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
221 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
222 the Cassis spec more closely
223 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
224 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
225 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
228 - added Doxyfile to the project
230 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
231 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
232 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
234 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
235 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
236 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
237 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
238 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
239 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
240 less buffer than data copied
241 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
242 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
243 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
244 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
246 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
247 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
249 - implemented socket::Close()
250 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
251 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
252 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
254 - added .cvsignore files to project
255 - added README notes to document the source architecture
256 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
257 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
258 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
259 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
261 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
262 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
263 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
265 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
266 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
267 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
268 - regular debug output
269 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
270 syslog someday, and never turned off)
271 - raw data dump output
272 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
273 numbers into english (limited success)
274 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
275 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
276 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
277 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
278 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
279 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
280 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
281 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
282 for socket 0 operations.
283 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
287 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
288 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
289 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
290 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
292 - syncberry tree started
