1 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/02/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
5 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
7 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
8 udev rules for the Pearl
9 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
11 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
12 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
13 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
14 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
15 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
16 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
17 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
18 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
19 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
20 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
21 - added license file to each packageo
22 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
25 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
26 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
28 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
29 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
30 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
32 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
33 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
34 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
35 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
36 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
37 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
38 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
39 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
40 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
42 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
43 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
49 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
52 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
54 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
56 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
57 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
58 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
59 than are really available... in this case, let's
60 just ignore the missing data and assume success
61 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
62 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
63 - ReleaseChecklist update
64 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
65 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
68 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
69 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
71 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
72 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
73 - added initial release maintainer scripts
74 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
75 no databases selected in configuration
76 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
77 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
78 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
79 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
80 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
82 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
83 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
84 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
85 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
86 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
87 -v now controls this as well
88 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
89 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
90 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
91 the beginning of USB conversations
92 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
93 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
94 its sequence number behaviour
95 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
96 socket 0 level command
97 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
98 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
99 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
100 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
101 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
102 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
103 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
104 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
105 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
106 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
107 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
108 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
109 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
111 - updated controller.cc:
112 - uses new socket 0 implementation
113 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
114 selecting modes, as it should use the
115 socket 0 sequence number
116 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
117 - updated some .cvsignore files
119 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
120 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
125 - moved Command() to base Packet class
126 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
127 new PasswordChallenge struct
128 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
129 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
130 password hashing logic.
131 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
133 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
134 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
135 - major LDIF overhaul:
136 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
138 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
139 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
140 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
142 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
144 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
145 notes fields were missed in old version if not
147 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
148 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
149 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
150 - large update to btool manpage
151 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
153 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
154 - removed commented code from translate.cc
155 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
156 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
157 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
158 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
159 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
160 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
161 instead of hardcoding it.
163 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
164 - minor tweaks to README
165 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
166 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
167 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
168 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
169 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
170 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
171 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
173 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
174 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
175 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
176 - added iomanip to debug.h
177 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
178 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
181 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
182 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
183 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
184 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
187 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
188 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
190 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
192 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
193 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
194 one base class: Barry::Error
195 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
196 - added BadPassword exception
202 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
203 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
204 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
205 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
206 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
207 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
208 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
210 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
211 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
212 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
213 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
214 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
217 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
218 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
220 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
221 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
222 - iostream output size fixes
223 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
224 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
225 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
226 this is still experimental
227 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
228 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
230 - uncommented the about box menu handler
231 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
232 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
233 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
235 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
236 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
237 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
238 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
239 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
240 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
241 and record objects that use it.
242 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
243 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
245 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
246 This returns the default rectype that should work
247 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
248 the device, but in the case where a database has no
249 records, this info would be good to know.
250 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
251 to use GetDefaultRecType()
252 - documented the recurrance data and how to use it in Calendar objects
253 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
254 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
255 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
256 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
257 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
258 - backup GUI updates:
259 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
260 and changed the logic so the restore continues
261 even if there was a protocol error on one database
262 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
263 i.e. Backup or Restore
264 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
265 it appears to be read-only on the device
266 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
267 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
268 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
269 supported now by the library
271 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
272 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
274 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
275 using the library should not care about endianness
276 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
277 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
279 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
281 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
283 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
285 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
286 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
287 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
289 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
290 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
291 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
293 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
294 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
295 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
296 through btool, for development
297 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
298 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
299 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
300 - finished implementation of GUI restore
301 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
302 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
303 exceptions need to be handled with
304 Glib::add_exception_handler()
305 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
306 - added pending gui/TODO items
308 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
309 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
310 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
311 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
312 when we try to write to it)
313 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
315 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
317 - updated copyright dates for the new year
318 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
319 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
320 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
321 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
323 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
324 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
325 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
326 backups only at this point
328 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
329 - added version API, returning version number and string
330 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
331 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
332 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
333 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
335 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
336 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
338 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
339 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
340 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
341 leaving the device in Desktop mode
343 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
345 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
347 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
348 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
350 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
352 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
353 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
355 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
356 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
357 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
358 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
359 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
360 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
362 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
363 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
364 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
366 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
367 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
368 a future Debian install
369 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
370 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
371 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
372 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
374 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
375 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
376 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
377 - fixed more endian issues
378 - minor update to TODO
380 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
381 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
383 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
384 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
385 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
386 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
388 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
389 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
390 on old build system if wanted
391 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
392 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
393 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
394 into their own tools/ subdirectory
395 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
396 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
398 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
399 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
400 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
401 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
402 properly when installed standalone
403 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
404 installed barry library
405 - added commentary on version number system

411 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
412 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
413 option... may need to revisit this later
414 - quick installation update in README
416 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added

444 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
446 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
447 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
448 more use of the base exception to make sure no

451 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
452 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
454 - fixed casting error in opensync module
455 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
457 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
460 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
461 splitting the code into 3 groups:
462 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
463 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
464 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
465 header of its own, in the case of email
466 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
467 Record does not know the details of the packet
468 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
469 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
470 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
471 providing an API for it... packet does not know
472 the record format details, but does know the
473 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
475 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
476 of operation formats and record formats, with the
477 record formats being the same even with different
478 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
479 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
480 See the header size of the email record after
482 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
483 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
484 The Controller object does not know the format
485 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
486 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
487 to talk to the device.
488 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
490 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
492 - added sample hotplug scripts
493 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
494 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
495 handle non-little-endian machines
496 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
497 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
498 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
499 and cause a failure to reach the device...
500 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
501 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
502 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
503 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
505 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
507 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
508 flags of individual blackberry device records
509 - added endian macros throughout the code
511 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
512 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
513 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
515 - removed slow sync functions for now
517 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
518 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
519 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
520 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
521 the base classes for all exceptions
522 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
523 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
525 - added to Contact record class:
527 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
528 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
529 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
530 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
531 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
532 and upload it to a blackberry
533 - updated src/.cvsignore
535 - added parsing of service book fields:
537 - old and new unique ID (UID)
539 - old and new description
541 - bes domain / domain
542 - date change in legal.txt
543 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
544 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
545 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
546 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
547 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
549 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
550 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
552 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
553 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
554 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
556 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
557 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
559 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
561 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
562 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
563 to the Controller class
564 - new file: controllertmpl.h
565 - documentation fixes in builder.h
566 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
567 support of the template Controller functions
568 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
569 returning errors properly
570 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
571 of Controller template member usage
573 - copyright dates updated for 2006
575 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
576 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
578 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
579 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
580 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
581 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
582 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
583 constants... constants are now removed
584 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
585 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
586 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

596 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
597 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
598 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
599 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
601 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
602 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
603 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
604 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
605 throw exception in controller.cc
606 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
607 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
608 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
609 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
610 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
611 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
612 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

614 class, and "all day event" flag support
616 - added autoconf to Todo list
617 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
618 be reused for upload and download
619 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
620 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
621 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
622 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
623 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
625 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
627 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
628 - added boost::serialization to build
629 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
630 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
631 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
632 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
633 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
635 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
636 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
637 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
638 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
640 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
641 - added builder.h, to support uploading
642 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
643 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
644 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
645 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
648 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
649 optimize away protocol struct casts

656 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
657 structs are completely hidden in the library...
658 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

681 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
683 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
684 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
685 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
686 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
687 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
688 Observed maximum blank count: 1
689 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
690 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
691 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
692 seem to need more time...)
693 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
694 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
695 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
696 with Python, if used(?)
697 - added Message class for Email records
698 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
699 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
700 available, and parses it with a Parser object
701 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
702 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
703 - cleaned up comments
704 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}

709 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
710 store object pointers
712 - added header comments to convo.awk script
713 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
714 better suited to its general API purpose
715 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
716 a public API function
717 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
718 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
720 - added mode checks to Controller
721 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
722 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
723 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
726 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
727 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
728 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
729 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
730 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
731 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
732 from the Command Table
733 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
734 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
735 the Cassis spec more closely
736 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
737 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
738 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
741 - added Doxyfile to the project
743 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
744 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
745 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
747 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
748 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
749 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
750 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
751 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
752 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
753 less buffer than data copied
754 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
755 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
756 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
757 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
759 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
760 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
762 - implemented socket::Close()
763 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
764 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
765 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
767 - added .cvsignore files to project
768 - added README notes to document the source architecture

770 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
771 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
772 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
774 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
775 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
776 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
778 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
779 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
780 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
781 - regular debug output
782 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
783 syslog someday, and never turned off)
784 - raw data dump output
785 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
786 numbers into english (limited success)
787 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
788 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
789 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
790 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
791 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
792 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
793 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
794 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
795 for socket 0 operations.
796 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
800 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
801 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
802 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
803 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
805 - syncberry tree started
