1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/05/17
4 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
5 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
6 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
7 - backup gui:
8 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
9 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
10 and added a command line option to turn
11 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
12 - command line option --help now also works
13 2007/05/11
14 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
15 fields in Contact and Calendar records
16 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
17 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
18 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
19 Outlook from the comments.
20 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
21 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
22 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
23 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
24 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
25 libbarry
26 libbarry-dev
27 barry-util
28 barrybackup-gui
29 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
30 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
31 small on Debian Etch
32 - opensync plugin:
33 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
34 based on the example plugin in the opensync
35 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
36 is incomplete
37 2007/05/04
38 - opensync plugin:
39 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
40 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
41 and then success afterward
42 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
43 - added item to gui's todo list
44 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
45 - configure.ac
46 - src/Makefile.am

60 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
61 - bumped release number in barry.spec
62 2007/04/30
63 - opensync plugin:
64 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
65 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
66 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
67 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
68 xml data format...
69 - added development note to README
70 2007/04/29
71 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
72 build instructions
73 - opensync plugin:
74 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
75 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
76 2007/04/27
77 - opensync module:
78 - removed some unneeded trace logs
79 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
80 m_Data pointer
81 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
82 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
83 if empty
84 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
85 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
86 2007/04/26
87 - opensync module work:
88 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
89 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
90 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
91 a hard coded calendar record state table
92 - added lots of logging throughout
93 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
94 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
95 causing another sync on the next run
96 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
97 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
98 written to the Blackberry
99 - more opensync module work:
100 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
101 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
102 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
103 the environment classes
104 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
105 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
106 2007/04/20
107 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
108 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
109 a sample configuration
110 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
111 on success (opensync module)
112 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
113 - allowed comments in the config file
114 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
115 routines are not available from the plugin side
116 2007/04/19
117 - updated gui/TODO
118 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
119 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
120 only use idProduct, and updated man page
121 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
122 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
123 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
124 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
125 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
126 and the old search didn't always work
127 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
128 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
129 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
130 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
131 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
132 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
133 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
134 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
135 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
136 search at 0
137 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
138 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
139 the vevent20 data (experimental)
140 2007/04/04
141 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
142 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
143 2007/03/30
144 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
145 if found
146 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
147 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
148 of the project
149 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
150 2007/03/29
151 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
152 - updated AUTHORS
153 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
154 FullName, even if there was no last name)
155 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
156 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
157 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
158 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
159 this special case, without relying on string length.
160 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
161 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
162 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
163 2007/03/17
164 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
165 2007/03/16
166 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
167 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
168 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
169 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
170 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
171 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
172 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
173 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
174 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
175 in some cases
176 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
177 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
178 2007/03/08
179 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
180 udev rules for the Pearl
181 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
182 functionality
183 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
184 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
185 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
186 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
187 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
188 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
189 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
190 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
191 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
192 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
193 - added license file to each package
194 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
195 discussion
196 - updated AUTHORS
197 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
198 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
199 for the bug report
200 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
201 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
202 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
203 user.
204 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
205 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
206 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
207 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
208 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
209 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
210 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
211 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
212 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
213 as a guide
214 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
215 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
216 2007/03/02
217 - version bump in:
218 - configure.ac
219 - src/Makefile.am
220 - src/version.cc
221 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
222 - src/Doxyfile
223 - rpm/barry.spec
224 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
225 for it
226 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
227 device discovery code
228 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
229 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
230 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
231 than are really available... in this case, let's
232 just ignore the missing data and assume success
233 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
234 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
235 - ReleaseChecklist update
236 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
237 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
238 dependency
240 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
241 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
242 2007/02/28
243 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
244 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
245 - added initial release maintainer scripts
246 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
247 no databases selected in configuration
248 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
249 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
250 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
251 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
252 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
253 2007/02/23
254 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
255 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
256 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
257 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
258 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
259 -v now controls this as well
260 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
261 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
262 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
263 the beginning of USB conversations
264 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
265 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
266 its sequence number behaviour
267 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
268 socket 0 level command
269 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
270 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
271 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
272 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
273 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
274 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
275 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
276 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
277 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
278 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
279 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
280 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
281 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
282 of socket 0 packets
283 - updated controller.cc:
284 - uses new socket 0 implementation
285 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
286 selecting modes, as it should use the
287 socket 0 sequence number
288 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
289 - updated some .cvsignore files
290 - updated TODO
291 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
292 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
293 - ChallengeSeed()
294 - RemainingTries()
295 - SocketResponse()
296 - SocketSqeuence()
297 - moved Command() to base Packet class
298 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
299 new PasswordChallenge struct
300 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
301 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
302 password hashing logic.
303 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
304 2007/02/22
305 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
306 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
307 - major LDIF overhaul:
308 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
309 into its own
310 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
311 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
312 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
313 contact field names
314 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
315 if necessary
316 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
317 notes fields were missed in old version if not
318 encoded
319 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
320 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
321 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
322 - large update to btool manpage
323 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
324 2007/02/15
325 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
326 - removed commented code from translate.cc
327 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
328 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
329 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
330 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
331 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
332 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
333 instead of hardcoding it.
334 2007/02/10
335 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
336 - minor tweaks to README
337 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
338 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
339 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
340 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
341 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
342 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
343 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
344 2007/02/09
345 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
346 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
347 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
348 - added iomanip to debug.h
349 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
350 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
351 2007/02/04
352 - updated AUTHORS
353 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
354 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
355 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
356 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
357 from Ian Darwin
358 2007/02/03
359 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
360 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
361 - updated AUTHORS
362 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
363 2007/02/02
364 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
365 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
366 one base class: Barry::Error
367 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
368 - added BadPassword exception
369 2007/02/01
370 - version bump in:
371 - configure.ac
372 - src/Makefile.am
373 - src/version.cc
374 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
375 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
376 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
377 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
378 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
379 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
380 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
381 in the future.
382 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
383 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
384 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
385 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
386 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
387 due to pending reads
389 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
390 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
391 2007/01/26
392 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
393 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
394 - iostream output size fixes
395 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
396 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
397 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
398 this is still experimental
399 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
400 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
401 Debian stable
402 - uncommented the about box menu handler
403 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
404 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
405 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
406 2007/01/25
407 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
408 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
409 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
410 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
411 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
412 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
413 and record objects that use it.
414 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
415 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
416 32 bits
417 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
418 This returns the default rectype that should work
419 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
420 the device, but in the case where a database has no
421 records, this info would be good to know.
422 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
423 to use GetDefaultRecType()
424 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
425 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
426 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
427 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
428 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
429 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
430 - backup GUI updates:
431 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
432 and changed the logic so the restore continues
433 even if there was a protocol error on one database
434 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
435 i.e. Backup or Restore
436 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
437 it appears to be read-only on the device
438 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
439 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
440 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
441 supported now by the library
442 2007/01/21
443 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
444 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
445 - changes to patch:
446 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
447 using the library should not care about endianness
448 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
449 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
450 install
451 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
452 for the same reason
453 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
454 Version call instead
455 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
456 - updated AUTHORS
457 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
458 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
459 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
460 2007/01/20
461 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
462 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
463 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
464 some older devices
465 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
466 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
467 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
468 through btool, for development
469 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
470 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
471 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
472 - finished implementation of GUI restore
473 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
474 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
475 exceptions need to be handled with
476 Glib::add_exception_handler()
477 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
478 - added pending gui/TODO items
479 2007/01/19
480 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
481 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
482 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
483 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
484 when we try to write to it)
485 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
486 2007/01/18
487 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
488 2007/01/13
489 - updated copyright dates for the new year
490 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
491 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
492 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
493 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
494 - updated README
495 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
496 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
497 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
498 backups only at this point
499 2007/01/11
500 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
501 - added version API, returning version number and string
502 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
503 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
504 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
505 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
506 2007/01/05
507 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
508 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
509 in probe.h)
510 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
511 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
512 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
513 leaving the device in Desktop mode
514 2007/01/04

526 2006/12/29
527 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
528 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
529 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
530 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
531 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
532 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
533 depend on.
534 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
535 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
536 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
537 package scripts

540 a future Debian install
541 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
542 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
543 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
544 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
545 2006/12/21
546 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
547 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
548 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

572 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
573 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
574 properly when installed standalone
575 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
576 installed barry library

616 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
617 at once
618 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
619 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
620 more use of the base exception to make sure no
621 exceptions leak into the C library code

629 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
630 the bug report
631 2006/09/08
632 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
633 splitting the code into 3 groups:
634 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
635 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
636 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
637 header of its own, in the case of email
638 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
639 Record does not know the details of the packet
640 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
641 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
642 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
643 providing an API for it... packet does not know
644 the record format details, but does know the
645 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
646 packet format.
647 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
648 of operation formats and record formats, with the
649 record formats being the same even with different
650 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
651 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
652 See the header size of the email record after
653 refactoring.
654 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
655 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
656 The Controller object does not know the format
657 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
658 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
659 to talk to the device.
660 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
661 we come!
662 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
663 2006/09/01
664 - added sample hotplug scripts
665 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
666 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
667 handle non-little-endian machines
668 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
669 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
670 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
671 and cause a failure to reach the device...
672 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
673 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
674 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
675 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
676 engineered.
677 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
678 for smarter syncing
679 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
680 flags of individual blackberry device records
681 - added endian macros throughout the code
682 2006/07/13
683 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
684 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN

686 for development)
687 - removed slow sync functions for now
688 2006/07/07
689 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
690 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
691 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
692 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
693 the base classes for all exceptions
694 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
695 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
696 2006/06/22
697 - added to Contact record class:
698 - Clear()
699 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
700 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
701 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
702 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
703 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
704 and upload it to a blackberry
705 - updated src/.cvsignore
706 2006/06/16
707 - added parsing of service book fields:
708 - old and new name
709 - old and new unique ID (UID)
710 - content ID (CID)
711 - old and new description
712 - DSID
713 - bes domain / domain
714 - date change in legal.txt
715 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
716 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
717 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
718 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
719 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
720 2006/06/09
721 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
722 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
723 - added AUTHORS file
724 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
725 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
726 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
727 2006/05/25

774 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
775 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
776 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
777 throw exception in controller.cc
778 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
779 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
780 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
781 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
782 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
783 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
784 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

793 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
794 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts

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

821 optimize away protocol struct casts
822 see:

827 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
828 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
829 structs are completely hidden in the library...
830 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
832 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
833 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

854 2005/11/19
855 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
856 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
857 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
858 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
859 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
860 Observed maximum blank count: 1
861 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
862 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
863 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
864 seem to need more time...)
865 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
866 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
867 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
868 with Python, if used(?)
869 - added Message class for Email records
870 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
871 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

888 a public API function
889 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
890 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
891 the command line
892 - added mode checks to Controller
893 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
894 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

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