1 Release: version 0.15 - 2009/01/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - clarified bjavaloader save behaviour
5 - updated bjavaloader man page
7 - pulled from Josh Kropf: 9b63a99867b3314b8d42212cac05a6f28860d37b
8 - saving large modules in pkzip format
9 - cleaned up StartStream function; use JLPacket instance
10 - refactored SendStream; use JLPacket instance and use simple
11 function for seeking to next cod file in input stream
12 - made following changes to Josh Kropf's patches
13 - Added CODFILE_TYPE_SIMPLE check back in
14 - Minor change of c_str() to data() where a null terminator
16 - Fixed unlikely buffer overflow in m_javaloader.cc
17 Goal: never trust outside sources of
18 information (including that from the device) when
19 managing our own buffers.
20 - Removed CodFile forward declaration, since class does not
22 - Fixed typo in configure.ac, and made missing zlib warning
24 - Added clarifying comment to CodFileBuilder
25 - Fixed potential reference bug in CodFileBuilder constructor
26 It is possible that the const std::string& passed
27 into the constructor is a temporary, so make a copy
28 of it instead of just holding a reference.
29 - Removed multi-unget call in cod.cc -- only one unget() is
30 guaranteed in C++. It appears that the unget is
31 unnecessary, since the following code seeks to end
32 and back to beginning anyway.
33 - Added copyright line for Josh Kropf in cod.cc and
35 - Fixed incorrect zlib check, since zlib doesn't support
36 pkg-config on most systems yet. Changed it to
37 use AC_CHECK_LIB, and added a --with-zlib configure
38 option which will cause configure to halt if
39 zlib is not available. Added --with-zlib to
40 binary package builds, and to build test script.
41 - added zlib to rpm and deb build requirements list
43 - updated USB capture logs archive page with new logs from Josh Kropf
44 - applied as patch Josh Kropf's annotated javaloader-reset.txt log
45 - added note about windows registry keys to USB-capture.txt
47 - applied Josh Kropf's patch adding support for forced erase and
48 load while module in use, properly handling when the
49 device requests a reset
51 - applied Nicolas Vivien's RecordId patch for Contact class...
52 this updates Barry to deal with the new record ID behaviour
55 - removed unneeded call to .c_str() in EmailAddress stream operator
56 - added support for Calendar fields: Organizer, Accepted, Invited
57 - reorganized the udev/ script directory, based on distro,
58 and added a specific rules file for openSUSE 11.1
59 - updated Debian and RPM binary scripts to point to correct udev files
61 - applied Nicolas Vivien's patch to fix the timeout issue on the
64 - applied Josh Kropf's save module patch
65 - minor whitespace fixes
66 - removed unneeded exception (fstream closes files
67 automatically on exit of scope, or exception)
68 - fixed compile error with variable sized array...
69 replaced with std::vector<> instead of memcpy,
70 in JavaLoader::SaveData()
71 - commented out an unused variable
73 - commented out AT+CREG? in barry-rogers.chat, since it causes some
74 Blackberry devices to reboot
75 - applied Josh Kropf's eventlog and clear eventlog patches
76 - capitalized JLEventlogEntry fields, to match other
78 - use constant when parsing entry
80 - sweeping cleanup of record classes and clarified all constant
81 conversions i.e. whenever converting between a protocol
82 constant and an API constant, do it through a function,
83 in case the constants change on the Blackberry side
85 - applied patch of binary VSM file from Robert Yaklin
87 - moved Nicolas Vivien's codfile code into library class API
88 - this change avoids having packed structs exposed in
89 installable header files, and gives the library
90 user an easy way to work with COD files
92 - added JavaLoader::LoadApp(CodFile&)
93 - cleaned up bjavaloader to use new API
94 - moved codfile_*_t structs to internal header
95 - also fixed command line status output when exceptions
96 are caught (unrelated fix)
97 - added / updated manpages: bfuse, bjavaloader, btool
98 - added fuse to build dependencies for rpm and deb packages
99 - updated web docs, adding libfuse to dependencies page
100 - added libiconv as well
102 - applied screenshot and zsh patch from Nicolas Vivien
103 His git log, as posted to the mailing list, was:
104 Remove bscreenshot binary
105 Add screenshot option to bjavaloader binary
106 Add comments in the code
107 Use defines beside of integer constant
108 Use b2hons to be compliant with evrywhat host
109 ZSH scripts completion
110 Use BMP structs beside of unreadable buffer !
112 - add command GetScreenShot to JLPacket class
113 - add JLScreenInfo to protocol structures
115 - minor tweaks to Nicolas's screenshot+zsh patch:
116 - renamed DIR_ENTRY and SS_ENTRY to DATA_ENTRY constant
117 as suggested by comments
118 - fixed some packet size checks
120 - removed unneeded packet.GetReceive(), since response
121 buffer is the same as what GetReceive() returns
122 - used AutoClose for fopen() calls in bjavaloader.cc
124 - removed manual buffer handling in favour of Data object
125 in JavaLoader::GetScreenshot()
126 - removed "unknown packet" exception from Socket::PacketData()
127 I think it is probably better to handle javaloader-level
128 errors and codes in the JavaLoader class, not the low-
130 - added erase and force erase support to bjavaloader, library, and zsh
131 - force erase is experimental
132 - applied documentation patch from Robert Yaklin on VSM file format
133 - did slight formatting changes before applying, for 80
134 columns, and set file to unix format instead of DOS
135 - added links to new USB capture logs from Robert Yaklin to
137 - cleaned up src/Makefile.am, regarding non-install headers
138 - moved Nicolas Vivien's bitmap conversion code into library API
139 - added bmp.h api, and moved internal structs to bmp-internal.h
140 - added size checks and endian conversion to bitmap
141 conversion code, so this code should run anywhere
143 - added link Josh Kropf's 'Blackberry development in linux' blog
144 post to doc/www/index.php
145 - added USB capture log archive page to www docs
146 - added config.rpath, needed by new AM_ICONV check
147 Thanks to Bill Paul for debugging this.
149 - added template wrapper for iconv() due to casting differences on
150 various platforms... thanks to Bill Paul for FreeBSD testing
151 - added AM_ICONV automake/autoconf check to configure.ac
152 This should take care of checking for libc or library
153 iconv installs, and checking the iconv() prototype for whether
154 const is needed or not. This removes the need for the
155 template added earlier.
157 - applied patch from Josh Kropf making bjavaloader's syntax more
158 compatible with the windows version, to make cross
159 platform build scripts possible
160 - applied Josh Kropf's settime syntax patch
161 - clarified timezone behaviour in javaloader settime
162 - added flag to JavaLoader mode class, so StopStream() is called
163 automatically in the destructor if not called manually
165 - added another ctor to BadSize exception class
166 - fixed bug in SocketZero where it checked sequence on packets
167 from non-zero sockets
168 - javaloader list mode updates:
169 - added Dump() code to directory classes
170 - fixed size issue with JLDirEntry header size define
171 - fixed size checks in entry parser
172 - fixed copy before in JLDirectory, now uses vector
173 - moved bjavaloader's Start/StopStream calls to main()
175 - removed default argument to CheckSize() so all code specifies
176 the size it really needs
177 - fixed bug in ParseData() that didn't copy data to receive arg
178 - adding additional javaloader commands and refactoring
179 this is a work in progress:
180 - added JLPacket class, encapsulating javaloader protocol
181 - added new defines for more JL commands
182 - refactored socket class, using PacketData()
183 for JL, and Packet() for Desktop (still needs
184 some work to be really clean)
185 - began implementing new commands (SetTime())
186 - thanks to Rick Scott for his reverse engineering effort
187 in XmBlackBerry, which inspired this code
188 - refactored packet.cc to make JLPacket even tighter
189 - updated doc/USB-capture.txt with link to vusb-analyzer
190 Thanks to Martin Owens for the link.
191 - added a set of be_*() endian swap functions, for big endian data
192 JavaLoader code seems to use big endian a lot.
193 - simplified bjavaloader.cc's command line args to make room for more
194 - cleaned up big endian code to use new be_* swap macros
195 - added protocol and packet code for directory / subdir commands
196 - added preliminary directory support to JavaLoader class
198 - reverted experimental handshaking in IpModem, since the session_key
199 patch fixed Bill Paul's issue
200 - finished adding IConverter support to r_task and r_timezone
201 - removed r_message_base.h from doxygen RecordParserClasses group
202 - removed unused ClassType variable from Task record class
203 - refactored Calendar and Task record classes, creating new
204 RecurBase to handle recurrence data
205 - removed FIXME in Socket::Packet(), since socket is set in Send()
206 - cleaned up socket handling and comments in packet.cc
208 - applied Nicolas Vivien's javaloader patch, fixing constant defines
209 and other small fixes
210 - minor whitespace and spelling fixes to above patch
211 - changed m_ipmodem.cc to send the session key even without password
212 which should help reduce the "special packets" coming from
214 Thanks to Rick Scott and Andy Herkey.
216 - refactored pthread timeout creation into ThreadTimeout() function
217 - added experimental handshaking to IpModem. This is in response
218 to Bill Paul's email regarding what he was seeing in the
219 logs with the special code packets which we dropped
220 on the floor. This code is to test whether this handshaking
223 - made maintainer script make-deb-local.sh more robust
224 - added list of target binary packages in ReleaseChecklist.txt
225 - changed to more general Fedora link to Chris Stover's packages
227 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch for the Bold
228 - minor fixes to above patch, and in addition to above patch:
229 - use sizeof(seed), instead of type, in case of future changes
230 - removed commented out code
231 - added the null password check back to SendPassword(),
232 for historical reasons
233 - removed the null and zero default arguments to
234 SendPassword(), since they make no sense
235 - added define for session key size, and added size check
236 - added missing string.h header to src/m_javaloader.cc
237 - updated Debian and RPM packages to include bjavaloader
239 - applied Nicolas Vivien's bjavaloader patch
240 - small fixups to above patch:
241 - moved cod.h from installable headers to internal headers
243 - copyright statement tweaks
244 - added blog URLs to copyright list in cod.h where parts
245 of the structs appear to come from
246 - removed unused variables to compile with strict settings
247 - changed char to unsigned char to fix strict compiler
249 - removed duplicated a/b from Socket messages, and moved
250 read/write text to front, in socket.cc
251 - added NetDirect copyright notice to bjavaloader.cc, since
252 it is based on btool.cc
253 - removed unused boost-specific code from bjavaloader.cc
254 - more fixes to above patch: (bjavaloader.cc specifically)
255 - moved cod.h back to installable headers, since tools/
256 programs depend on it... this should be fixed
257 or put in the library as a COD-reading API
258 so that applications don't need to worry about
260 - fixed potential buffer overflow: removed buffer read used
261 to skip ahead in file, and replaced with fseek()
262 - changed SendAppFile() to report errors by exception
263 instead of by return value, which wasn't checked
264 anyway... and C++'d the file handle closing
265 - removed unused StateTableCommand, leftover from btool
266 - added check for unlikely case of COD file being larger
267 than size_t, breaking the fread() assumption
268 for the type == 0xC0DE case
269 - added checks for fread() failures
270 - fixed compiler warnings when comparing signed/unsigned,
271 and changed file operation types from plain int
273 - changes to src/m_javaloader.cc:
274 - fixed comments to remove Desktop-oriented notes
275 - moved variables closer to their use point
276 - removed the duplicated response Data objects in favour
277 of just one (each default Data object uses 0x4000
279 - removed manual endian swap in favour of htobl()
280 - oops... this size field is actually big endian.
281 Since all Barry code assumes that Blackberry
282 protocol traffic is little endian, a special
283 case needs to be added in m_javaloader.cc for
284 this field. The special case uses autoconf's
286 - fixed long long problem in endian.h (ISO C++
287 compilers don't support long long) and made
288 the bswap() functions always available
289 - removed unused CommandType and m_commandTable members
290 - fixed exception error messages to indicate command #
291 instead of Desktop message
292 - changed Packet() call to PacketData() when sending
293 file size, since there is no command
294 - added eout() data dump to socket::Packet() unknown send error
295 - fixed my incorrect off_t/size_t check in bjavaloader.cc
296 - removed the '0' JL_UNKNOWN4 command from src/protocol.h,
297 since the PacketData() change above now handles that,
298 and I don't think that byte is actually a command, but
299 really part of the uint32_t size
300 - Also fixed one remaining 0 command, to use PacketData()
302 - added AT+CLAC note to contrib/modemtest.rb, recording tidbit
304 - updated copyright dates for 2009
306 - fixed missing slash in config sample in doc/www/sync.php
307 Thanks to sourceforge tracker #2413683 for reporting
309 - added more notes to doc/USB-capture.txt, documenting my kernel
310 setup for capturing USB traffic, and added size-limiting
312 - added TODO list item for the Blackberry Storm
314 - moved Product ID constants into a single place (src/common.h)
316 - added Product ID 8007 for the Blackberry Storm... needs testing
318 - applied ppp chat script patch for AT&T Cingular from
320 - added new chat scripts to debian and rpm packages
321 - added known sources of additional Barry binary packages to index.php
322 - turned on call/caller graph support in Doxygen output
324 - applied 'patch' of Martin Owens' Content Store documentation
327 - large refactoring of all message/email record classes, and more
328 There is now a MessageBase base class, which combines
329 common email record parsing code in one class. This base
330 class is reused by all the specific messages record classes.
331 This commit also includes support for multiple email
332 addresses per email, as well as giving IConverter support
333 to all message classes.
334 - deleted empty *.cc files from project
335 - updated TODO file, removing opensync i18n bug
336 - added TODO item for password support in Opensync... try to avoid
337 storing the password in the sync config in plain text
338 - fixed dll export bug on ErrnoError exception class
339 - added BadPackedFormat exception for internal use
340 - ServiceBook: added IConverter support, and general cleanup
341 Refactored ServiceBook class and added some experimental
342 template functions to generalize the FieldLink table
343 processing. If possible, this needs to be expanded
344 to the general record classes, to reduce the amount of
345 code duplication during processing of FieldLinks and
346 CommonField structures.
347 Also, ServiceBook deals with packed fields, which should
348 also be extrapolated for general use, and reused if
349 possible for the new "Calendar - All" Blackberry databases
350 that are coming out on the new devices and firmare.
352 - updated man/btool.1 with new -i option
353 - fixed bug where opensync plugin didn't pass IConverter to Desktop
354 - added IConverter support to r_calendar.cc
355 - renamed utf8Needed to iconvNeeded, for consistency
356 - added IConverter support to r_folder.cc
357 - added IConverter support to r_memo.cc
358 - added IConverter support to r_message.cc
359 - added EmailAddressList, in preparation for multi-address email
361 - changed Parser base class to pure abstract... this is so that
362 future API changes to the Parse base class will be
363 detected by the compiler as errors
364 - added NullParser class, which performs the old Parser function
365 - changed all FieldLink arrays to static
366 - added new IConverter class to support converting the Blackberry's
367 WINDOWS-1252 charset to/from UTF-8 and more
368 - fixed bug in IConverter that saved end of string instead of
370 - reorganized barry.h app header and record.h header, so that
371 internal builds have fewer dependencies
372 - large parser/builder API change, adding IConverter support
373 This change starts at the top (Mode::Desktop) which
374 takes an optional IConverter object for parsing and
375 building conversions. The Desktop class passes
376 this IConverter object to Packet, Parser, and Builder (and
377 thereby, the corresponding Record classes) as needed.
378 This adds an extra pointer to a fair number of calls
379 in the stack, but maintains flexibility without putting
380 too much of a burden on Parser writers, which could be
382 The primary use of this architecture is to pass in an
383 IConverter configured to convert to UTF-8... this is
384 basically the only useful conversion method, but others
385 are possible if you want to play.
386 - first record class to support string conversions: Contact
387 - reverted the barry.h and record.h reorganization, since
388 the gui depends on it
389 - reorganized barry.h and record.h again, making inclusion of
390 the record headers dependent on whether it is a library
392 - updated the gui with the parser/builder API change
393 - added IConverter to opensync plugin, set to UTF-8
395 - added comment to src/r_contact.h deprecating the Phone field
396 - updated Doxyfile to 1.5.1
397 - added Christopher D. Stover to AUTHORS file as Fedora contact
399 - forgot #include <string.h> for memcpy/memset in tools/bfuse.cc
400 - moved bfuse install point from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin
402 - added FUSE filesystem "driver"
404 - commented out the info.subsystem match level in HAL FDI file...
405 this should let the FDI work on old and new systems.
406 HAL version 0.5.8 (used by Debian Etch) has the deprecated
407 info.bus property, and doesn't have info.subsystem yet.
408 - added HAL FDI scripts to rpm/barry.spec
409 - fixed tools/Makefile.plain
411 - added support for multiple work/home phone numbers to the
413 - Thanks to Richard Esplin for his test data.
414 - This fix has a conflict when a cell phone number is
415 marked as the preferred contact as well.
416 See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=20081030231045.GA28989%40foursquare.net
417 for the full details.
418 - This fix also changes the VCARD output... pager phone
419 numbers are given the TYPE code of "pager"
421 - Added OtherPhone field as well
423 - applied HAL FDI scripts and configuration from Martin Owens
424 - updated AUTHORS file
425 - added HAL FDI and python script to Debian package install
427 - updated copyright notice and help text in contrib/modemtest.rb
428 - changed barry-verizon.chat script according to Andy Herkey's
429 recommendation... this worked much better for Michael L.
430 Stokes, since his provider was getting stuck on the ATZ
432 - applied Andy Herkey's modemtest.rb ruby script to contrib/
433 from his Aug 9, 2008 email to the mailing list
434 - applied Andy Herkey's new modemtest.rb script to contrib/
435 from his Oct 8, 2008 email to the mailing list
436 - added password pass-through code for pppob -s mode
437 - clarified front page www doc, adding date of last release
439 - cherry-picked changes from Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo's debian git repo
440 - debian/rules was stripping wrong library names
441 - FSF address was incorrect (also updated other source
442 files throughout the tree myself)
443 - more complete debian/copyright file
449 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
453 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
454 - added link to doxygen documentation to www index.php
456 Release: version 0.14 - 2008/09/24
457 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
459 - changed Debian changelog version to 0.14-0 to make room for
460 official Debian packages which start at 0.14-1
461 - moved Doxyfile from src/Makefile.am to Makefile.am
462 - made RPM spec file match debian version number
463 - www documentation updates for 0.14
465 - fixed git-tagged-release.sh to not delete its own results... oops
467 - fixed git command line in git-extract.sh for new 1.6.0.x behaviour
469 - added notes in ReleaseChecklist.txt regarding the new tarball
470 tags in the git repos
472 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
473 - moving items from private todo list to TODO file
474 - removed unused variable from maintainer/git-release-tar.sh
475 - added new maintainer/git-tagged-tar.sh, which puts more data
476 in the git repo, to make it easier for official Debian
478 - moved src/Doxyfile to ./Doxyfile to avoid ".." in the config...
479 the ".." paths confused doxygen and caused it to generate
480 non-relative paths in the documentation.
481 - added umask to maintainer/git-extract.sh, so it works even without
483 - updated maintainer/tar-prepare.sh to match the new Doxyfile
484 - added maintainer/tagged-release.sh, as replacement for the
485 release.sh top level script, when using git
486 - removed CVS-style ID code from contrib/barry-unbind-storage.sh
487 since it made it look like cdfrey wrote it
488 - removed doc/CodingStyle.txt as it is now documented in html
490 - added device name and backup label support to the GUI
491 It is now possible to name devices, instead of just
492 operating by PIN number, and it is possible to now
493 add a text label to the backup tar filenames.
494 - added the device names to the device selection dialog
496 - updated TODO list with i18n opensync bug and general i18n support
497 - added test suite to TODO list
499 - renamed libbarry to libbarry0 in rpm/barry.spec
500 - added %dump to rpm/barry.spec to match the OBS version
501 Makes it easier to track variable changes across
503 - added note to NEWS regarding binary package renaming
505 - fixed logic error in breset that displayed error on success
506 Thanks to Richard Esplin for reporting this bug.
507 - applied commit's from Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo's debian git repo
508 git://git.debian.org/git/users/jsogo/barry.git
509 - Add binary dependency of libbarry-dev on libusb-dev
510 - Rename libbarry to libbarry0, per debian policy
511 - Add exact dependency on binary:Version for every
512 -dbg and -dev package
513 - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0
515 - clarified barrybackup error message when no records available
516 Added a check so that "no databases selected" and
517 "no records available" are two distinct error messages.
519 - applied ppp chat script patch from Mick Reed
520 - updated RPM and Debian packages with new tmobileus ppp scripts
521 - added T-Mobile US to web documentation
523 - clarified sync docs regarding slow-sync... avoid it if possible
524 - tuned doxygen config, and moved generated files to doc/www/doxygen
525 - added git-release-tar.sh, replacing CVS's make-release-tar.sh
526 Also added doxygen to the release tarball creation, so
527 the source code's doxygen documentation is automatically
528 generated upon release.
529 - split git-release-tar.sh into reusable component scripts
531 - added exception handler for invalid command line options in GUI
532 - fixed barrybackup man page, removing bad -v option
533 - added distro section to AUTHORS
534 - fixed comment and whitespace problems in time.{h,cc}
535 - Converted Birthday from string to Date, and added Anniversary
536 support. Birthday and Anniversary fields now use a new
537 Date struct, and Barry validates the data to some extent.
538 - updated example code and opensync plugin to match
539 - applied Lee Dixon's Location and Description plugin patch,
540 with minor whitespace edits
542 - added Birthday field to examples/addcontact.cc for testing
544 - applied Lee Dixon's Birthday field and opensync patch
545 - fixed coding format issues
548 - fixed bug in m_ipmodem.cc that included a null terminator in
550 - fixed RFC 2426 conformance bug... RFC 2426, 3.1.1 states that FN
551 MUST be present in the vcard object. If there is no name
552 available, then we use the Company name if available. It
553 should be, since the Blackberry requires either name or Company
554 in order to create a new address. If Company is blank too, then
555 we insert "(Blank Name)".
556 - On the flip side of this same bug, it is possible to receive
557 non-conformant vcard data from evolution / opensync
558 that does not include FN. Since the Blackberry
559 doesn't require this information, remove the
560 exception, and only throw an exception if FN
561 or Company are both blank.
562 - REVERT: removed the Company and "(Blank Name)" workarounds,
563 and just produce an invalid vcard if no full name,
564 since with multiple syncing, this will come back
565 to bite us with duplicated Company name data
566 - added sanity check to contact class for blank name and company
567 - added BadData exception class, and documented it
569 - fixed bug in vAttr::GetValue that ignored index for single valued
570 attributes... this should fix the endless loop / memory
571 exhaustion that some people have been seeing
572 Thanks to Lee Dixon for reporting this bug in detail!
573 - added TODO list item for implementing recurring calendar items
579 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
583 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
584 - updated web docs showing how to set the password when using modem

616 - updated web docs with new password sample config
618 - removed old, unused spec file and scripts for bcharge-only release
619 - fixed rpm build instructions in web docs
620 - reduced minimum password retry level from 6 to 3... Reinhold Schoeb
621 reports that his 8800 device only lets him set a password
622 retry range between 3 and 5, instead of the usual 10 that
625 - added "known issues" section to main www doc page
626 - fixed virtual function mis-name bug in btool's null parser
627 - added -i option to brecsum, to include record IDs in the sums
628 - applied Ashley Willis's btool 0.12 null parser patch to CVS, which
629 required some manual porting changes...
630 - removed bool reference argument in GetParser()
632 - applied Ashley Willis's perlbarry package, putting it in the
633 new contrib/ directory
635 - now that btool patch is applied, don't need it in contrib
636 - removed openssl from dependencies documentation, as barry now
637 has its own sha1 code
638 - added libtool to dependencies documentation
639 - rpm/barry.spec file now assumes gui and opensync, with conditional
640 checks depending which system it is being built on...

659 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
660 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
661 headers, as it is an internal header only
662 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
663 - added -j option to make to speed builds
664 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
665 clean up after itself
666 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
667 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
668 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
669 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
670 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
671 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
673 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
674 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
676 - added beginnings of a build system test script
677 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am

693 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
694 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
695 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
696 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
699 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
700 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
701 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
702 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
703 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
704 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
705 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
706 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
708 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
709 - documentation updates:
710 - changed git patch command to use format-patch

738 script to set permissions
739 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
741 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc

760 them automatically in binary packages
761 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
762 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
764 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
765 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
766 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
767 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
768 such as with pppob...
769 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
770 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
771 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
772 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
773 order (no code change, only move)
774 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
775 possible to determine whether a program is using
776 threaded or non-threaded sockets
777 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
778 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
779 and updated the man page
780 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
781 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
784 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
785 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
786 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
787 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
788 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
789 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
790 IpModem endpoints are available
791 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
792 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
793 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
794 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
795 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
797 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
798 to file instead of stderr
799 - added man page for pppob
801 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
802 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
804 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
807 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
808 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
809 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
810 I'm looking at you...)
811 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
812 if no command line arguments are specified
813 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
814 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
816 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
817 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
818 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
819 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
820 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
821 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
822 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
823 like a null terminated string... also added more
824 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
825 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
826 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
827 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
828 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
829 on database records, for testing
830 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
831 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
832 which completes builder support
833 Checksums from the following commands now match:
834 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
835 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
836 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
837 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
838 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
840 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
841 work again... Thanks!
842 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
845 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
846 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
847 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
850 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
853 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
854 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

980 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
982 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
983 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
985 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
986 to avoid the CVS directories
987 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
988 diff.gz and dsc files
989 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
990 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
993 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
994 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
995 real opensync libraries
997 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
998 building RPM's from CVS
999 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
1000 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
1001 on ./configure command line
1003 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
1004 so that the database name is stored as the first line
1006 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
1008 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
1009 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
1011 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton

1015 Paul Dugas for the tip
1017 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
1018 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
1019 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
1020 - updated AUTHORS file
1022 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
1023 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
1024 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
1025 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
1026 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
1027 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
1028 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.

1032 - updated copyright statments for 2008
1034 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante

1042 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
1046 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
1049 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
1050 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1052 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
1053 - added pause to maintainer release script
1059 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
1063 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
1065 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
1066 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1068 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
1069 search by busname / devname
1070 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
1071 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
1072 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
1073 bus/device names, and updated the man page
1074 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
1075 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
1076 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
1077 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
1078 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
1079 spec file for opensuse
1081 - added better error checking to breset
1082 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
1083 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
1084 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
1085 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
1086 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
1087 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
1088 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
1090 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
1091 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
1092 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
1093 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
1094 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
1095 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
1096 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
1097 make applications look more capable, not less.
1098 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
1099 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
1100 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
1103 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
1104 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
1107 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
1108 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
1109 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
1110 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
1111 at the same time as usb_storage.
1112 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
1113 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
1114 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
1115 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
1116 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
1117 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
1118 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
1119 fail naturally on these devices.
1120 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
1122 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
1123 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
1125 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
1126 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
1128 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
1130 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
1131 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
1132 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
1133 that release package builds can be done faster
1135 - opensync plugin fixes:
1136 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
1137 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
1138 and keep track of the hierarchy when
1139 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
1140 - added support for searching for attributes only
1141 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
1142 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
1144 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
1145 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
1146 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
1147 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
1148 ToBarry conversion results
1149 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
1150 mktime, in vformat.c
1151 - fixed typo in previous fix
1153 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
1154 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
1155 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
1160 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
1164 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
1165 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
1167 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
1168 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
1169 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
1170 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
1172 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
1173 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1175 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
1176 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
1177 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
1178 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
1179 without recompiling the kernel.
1180 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
1182 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
1183 information in README files to html format, so that it
1184 is commonly available on the web
1185 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
1186 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
1188 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
1189 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
1192 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
1193 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
1194 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
1195 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
1196 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
1197 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
1198 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
1199 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
1200 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
1201 explanatory document for various system requirements
1202 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
1204 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
1205 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
1206 for opensuse rpm builds
1208 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
1209 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
1210 - fixed build target to i386
1211 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
1214 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
1215 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
1216 will be updated more frequently
1218 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
1219 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
1220 configure scripts to support external build directories
1221 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
1222 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
1223 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
1224 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
1225 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
1228 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
1229 parse the comma separated string into an array,
1231 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
1232 and will affect backward compatibility with
1233 old serialization datafiles
1234 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
1235 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
1237 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
1238 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
1239 to throw it on error
1240 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
1241 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
1242 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
1243 - fixed in opensync plugin:
1244 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
1245 so added lower case conversion routine
1246 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
1247 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
1248 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
1249 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
1251 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
1252 - added status message to endpoint override
1254 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
1255 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
1256 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
1257 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
1258 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
1259 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
1261 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
1262 The description is now part of the probe results
1263 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
1264 a new attribute definition.
1265 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
1266 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
1267 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
1268 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
1269 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
1270 in order to better support SWIG and Python
1272 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
1273 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
1274 settings automatically where possible
1275 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
1276 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
1278 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
1279 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
1280 error.cc is now an empty shell
1281 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
1282 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
1283 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
1284 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
1285 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
1287 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
1292 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
1296 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
1297 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
1298 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
1300 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
1301 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1303 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
1304 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
1305 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
1306 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
1307 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
1309 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
1310 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
1311 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
1312 endian bug in the process)
1313 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
1314 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
1315 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
1316 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
1317 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
1318 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
1319 - opensync-plugin/README update
1320 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
1321 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
1322 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
1324 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
1326 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
1329 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
1330 for the broken-down name instead of N
1331 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
1332 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
1333 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
1334 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
1335 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
1336 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
1337 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
1338 registered two. Moving to single change commit
1339 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
1340 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
1341 ease memory pressure in the library.
1342 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
1344 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
1345 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
1346 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
1348 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
1350 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
1351 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
1352 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
1353 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
1354 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
1355 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
1356 record into the device.... First/Last Name
1357 fields are position sensitive, and the code
1358 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
1359 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
1360 were not updated to handle the new field
1361 table added for the postal address changes
1364 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
1365 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
1366 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
1367 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
1368 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
1369 UID strings, instead of just numbers
1370 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
1371 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
1372 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
1373 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
1374 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
1376 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
1377 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
1378 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
1379 sync the wrong device and lose data.
1380 Actions to take on new PIN:
1381 - force slow_sync, or
1383 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
1384 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
1385 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
1386 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
1388 - changed PIN error message number to hex
1390 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
1391 "Backup in progress..."
1392 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
1393 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
1394 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
1395 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
1396 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
1397 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
1398 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
1399 a new class called PostalAddress
1400 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
1401 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
1402 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
1403 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
1405 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
1407 - added vCard converter class
1408 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
1409 of empty attribute values and parameters,
1410 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
1411 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
1412 an extra nth argument, in order to search
1413 for multiple attributes with the same name...
1414 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
1415 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
1416 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
1419 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
1420 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
1421 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
1422 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
1426 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
1427 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
1428 new Barry ID would look like a new change
1429 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
1430 - added support for slow sync
1431 - added clear() to idmap class
1432 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
1433 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
1434 - added Notification time support
1435 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
1436 does not exist in a vformat data block
1437 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
1438 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
1439 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
1440 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
1441 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
1442 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
1443 special cases in the future
1445 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
1447 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
1448 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
1449 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
1451 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
1452 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
1453 library API that is not yet finished... will be
1454 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
1455 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
1457 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
1458 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
1459 the goal is to be able to do:
1460 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
1462 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
1463 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
1464 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
1465 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
1467 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
1468 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
1470 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
1472 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
1473 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
1475 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
1476 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
1477 in general use will not break on build
1478 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
1479 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1480 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
1482 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
1484 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
1485 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
1486 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
1487 SetIds() is already there
1488 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
1489 and moved into record.h
1490 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
1492 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
1493 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
1494 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
1495 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
1497 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
1499 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
1500 - changes to PIN message patch:
1501 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
1502 - fixed tab alignment throughout
1503 - removed typedef from Address struct
1504 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
1505 going to be a standalone type
1506 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
1507 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
1508 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
1509 backing on a field for other use
1510 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
1511 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
1512 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
1513 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
1514 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
1515 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
1516 PIN Message so that we store both of these
1519 - added item to gui/TODO
1520 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
1522 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
1523 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
1524 modified to split into the new separate files system
1525 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
1526 - reformatted the code to match coding style
1528 - added copyright notice
1529 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
1530 - placed in Barry namespace
1531 - added #ifdef header protectors
1532 - added new files to Makefile.am
1533 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
1534 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
1535 Brian Edginton's patch
1536 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
1537 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
1540 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
1541 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
1545 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
1546 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
1547 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
1548 linker errors with the new file layout
1550 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
1551 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
1552 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
1554 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
1555 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
1556 and added a command line option to turn
1557 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
1558 - command line option --help now also works
1559 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
1560 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
1561 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
1562 localizing the constants in one place
1564 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
1565 fields in Contact and Calendar records
1566 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
1567 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
1568 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
1569 Outlook from the comments.
1570 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
1571 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
1572 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
1573 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
1574 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
1579 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
1580 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
1581 small on Debian Etch
1583 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
1584 based on the example plugin in the opensync
1585 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
1589 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
1590 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
1591 and then success afterward
1592 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
1593 - added item to gui's todo list
1594 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
1598 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1602 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
1603 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1605 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
1606 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
1607 - updated maintainer/README
1608 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
1610 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
1611 - bumped release number in barry.spec
1614 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
1615 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
1616 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
1617 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
1619 - added development note to README
1621 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
1624 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
1625 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
1628 - removed some unneeded trace logs
1629 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
1631 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1632 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1634 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1635 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1637 - opensync module work:
1638 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1639 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1640 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1641 a hard coded calendar record state table
1642 - added lots of logging throughout
1643 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1644 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1645 causing another sync on the next run
1646 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1647 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1648 written to the Blackberry
1649 - more opensync module work:
1650 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1651 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1652 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1653 the environment classes
1654 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1655 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1657 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1658 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1659 a sample configuration
1660 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1661 on success (opensync module)
1662 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1663 - allowed comments in the config file
1664 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1665 routines are not available from the plugin side
1668 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1669 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1670 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1671 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1672 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1673 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1674 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1675 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1676 and the old search didn't always work
1677 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1678 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1679 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1680 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1681 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1682 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1683 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1684 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1685 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1687 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1688 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1689 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1691 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1692 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1694 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1696 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1697 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1699 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1701 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1703 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1704 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1705 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1706 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1707 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1708 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1709 this special case, without relying on string length.
1710 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1711 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1712 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1714 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1716 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1717 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1718 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1719 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1720 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1721 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1722 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1723 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1724 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1726 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1727 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1729 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1730 udev rules for the Pearl
1731 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1733 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1734 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1735 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1736 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1737 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1738 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1739 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1740 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1741 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1742 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1743 - added license file to each package
1744 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1747 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1748 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1750 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1751 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1752 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1754 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1755 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1756 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1757 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1758 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1759 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1760 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1761 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1762 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1764 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1765 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1771 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1774 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1776 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1777 device discovery code
1778 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1779 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1780 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1781 than are really available... in this case, let's
1782 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1783 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1784 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1785 - ReleaseChecklist update
1786 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1787 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1790 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1791 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1793 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1794 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1795 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1796 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1797 no databases selected in configuration
1798 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1799 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1800 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1801 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1802 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1804 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1805 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1806 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1807 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1808 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1809 -v now controls this as well
1810 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1811 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1812 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1813 the beginning of USB conversations
1814 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1815 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1816 its sequence number behaviour
1817 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1818 socket 0 level command
1819 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1820 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1821 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1822 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1823 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1824 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1825 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1826 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1827 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1828 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1829 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1830 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1831 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1833 - updated controller.cc:
1834 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1835 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1836 selecting modes, as it should use the
1837 socket 0 sequence number
1838 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1839 - updated some .cvsignore files
1841 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1842 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1847 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1848 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1849 new PasswordChallenge struct
1850 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1851 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1852 password hashing logic.
1853 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1855 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1856 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1857 - major LDIF overhaul:
1858 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1860 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1861 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1862 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1864 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1866 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1867 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1869 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1870 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1871 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1872 - large update to btool manpage
1873 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1875 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1876 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1877 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1878 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1879 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1880 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1881 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1882 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1883 instead of hardcoding it.
1885 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1886 - minor tweaks to README
1887 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1888 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1889 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1890 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1891 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1892 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1893 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1895 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1896 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1897 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1898 - added iomanip to debug.h
1899 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1900 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1903 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1904 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1905 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1906 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1909 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1910 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1912 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1914 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1915 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1916 one base class: Barry::Error
1917 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1918 - added BadPassword exception
1924 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1925 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1926 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1927 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1928 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1929 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1930 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1932 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1933 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1934 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1935 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1936 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1937 due to pending reads
1939 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1940 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1942 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1943 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1944 - iostream output size fixes
1945 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1946 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1947 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1948 this is still experimental
1949 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1950 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1952 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1953 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1954 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1955 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1957 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1958 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1959 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1960 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1961 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1962 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1963 and record objects that use it.
1964 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1965 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1967 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1968 This returns the default rectype that should work
1969 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1970 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1971 records, this info would be good to know.
1972 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1973 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1974 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1975 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1976 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1977 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1978 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1979 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1980 - backup GUI updates:
1981 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1982 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1983 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1984 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1985 i.e. Backup or Restore
1986 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1987 it appears to be read-only on the device
1988 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1989 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1990 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1991 supported now by the library
1993 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1994 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1996 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1997 using the library should not care about endianness
1998 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1999 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
2001 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
2003 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
2004 Version call instead
2005 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
2007 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
2008 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
2009 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
2011 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
2012 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
2013 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
2015 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
2016 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
2017 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
2018 through btool, for development
2019 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
2020 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
2021 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
2022 - finished implementation of GUI restore
2023 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
2024 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
2025 exceptions need to be handled with
2026 Glib::add_exception_handler()
2027 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
2028 - added pending gui/TODO items
2030 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
2031 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
2032 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
2033 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
2034 when we try to write to it)
2035 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
2037 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
2039 - updated copyright dates for the new year
2040 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
2041 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
2042 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
2043 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
2045 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
2046 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
2047 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
2048 backups only at this point
2050 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
2051 - added version API, returning version number and string
2052 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
2053 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
2054 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
2055 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
2057 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
2058 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
2060 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
2061 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
2062 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
2063 leaving the device in Desktop mode
2065 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
2067 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
2069 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
2070 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
2072 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
2074 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
2075 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2077 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
2078 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
2079 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
2080 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
2081 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
2082 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
2084 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
2085 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
2086 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
2088 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
2089 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
2090 a future Debian install
2091 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
2092 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
2093 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
2094 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
2096 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
2097 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
2098 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
2099 - fixed more endian issues
2100 - minor update to TODO
2102 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
2103 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
2105 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
2106 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
2107 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
2108 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
2110 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
2111 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
2112 on old build system if wanted
2113 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
2114 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
2115 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
2116 into their own tools/ subdirectory
2117 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
2118 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
2120 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
2121 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
2122 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
2123 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
2124 properly when installed standalone
2125 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
2126 installed barry library
2127 - added commentary on version number system
2128 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
2129 system supercedes it
2130 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
2131 - added library version number to autoconf build
2132 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
2133 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
2134 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
2135 option... may need to revisit this later
2136 - quick installation update in README
2138 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
2140 - fixed endian issues in time.h

2142 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
2143 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
2144 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
2145 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
2147 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
2148 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
2150 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
2151 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2153 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
2154 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
2156 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
2157 uploading to device to fail
2159 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
2161 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
2162 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
2163 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
2164 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
2165 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
2166 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
2168 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
2169 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
2170 more use of the base exception to make sure no
2171 exceptions leak into the C library code
2173 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
2174 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2176 - fixed casting error in opensync module
2177 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
2179 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
2182 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
2183 splitting the code into 3 groups:
2184 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
2185 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
2186 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
2187 header of its own, in the case of email
2188 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
2189 Record does not know the details of the packet
2190 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
2191 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
2192 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
2193 providing an API for it... packet does not know
2194 the record format details, but does know the
2195 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
2197 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
2198 of operation formats and record formats, with the
2199 record formats being the same even with different
2200 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
2201 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
2202 See the header size of the email record after
2204 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
2205 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
2206 The Controller object does not know the format
2207 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
2208 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
2209 to talk to the device.
2210 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
2212 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
2214 - added sample hotplug scripts
2215 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
2216 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
2217 handle non-little-endian machines
2218 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
2219 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
2220 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
2221 and cause a failure to reach the device...
2222 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
2223 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
2224 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
2225 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
2227 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
2229 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
2230 flags of individual blackberry device records
2231 - added endian macros throughout the code
2233 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
2234 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
2235 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
2237 - removed slow sync functions for now
2239 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
2240 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
2241 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
2242 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
2243 the base classes for all exceptions
2244 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
2245 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
2247 - added to Contact record class:
2249 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
2250 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
2251 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
2252 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
2253 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
2254 and upload it to a blackberry
2255 - updated src/.cvsignore
2257 - added parsing of service book fields:
2259 - old and new unique ID (UID)
2261 - old and new description
2263 - bes domain / domain
2264 - date change in legal.txt
2265 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
2266 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
2267 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
2268 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
2269 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
2271 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
2272 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
2273 - added AUTHORS file
2274 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
2275 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
2276 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
2278 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
2279 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
2281 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
2283 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
2284 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
2285 to the Controller class
2286 - new file: controllertmpl.h
2287 - documentation fixes in builder.h
2288 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
2289 support of the template Controller functions
2290 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
2291 returning errors properly
2292 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
2293 of Controller template member usage
2295 - copyright dates updated for 2006
2297 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
2298 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
2300 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
2301 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
2302 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
2303 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
2304 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
2305 constants... constants are now removed
2306 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
2307 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
2308 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree
2309 - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree
2310 - added roadmap to Todo list
2312 - added convenience Makefile in root directory
2313 - added Hacking document
2314 - minor touchups to README
2315 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
2316 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
2317 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
2318 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
2319 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
2320 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
2321 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
2323 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
2324 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
2325 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
2326 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
2327 throw exception in controller.cc
2328 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
2329 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
2330 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
2331 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
2332 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
2333 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
2334 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
2335 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

2377 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
2378 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
2379 structs are completely hidden in the library...
2380 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
2382 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

2405 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
2406 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
2407 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
2408 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
2409 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
2410 Observed maximum blank count: 1
2411 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
2412 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
2413 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
2414 seem to need more time...)
2415 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
2416 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
2417 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
2418 with Python, if used(?)
2419 - added Message class for Email records
2420 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
2421 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
2422 available, and parses it with a Parser object
2423 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
2424 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
2425 - cleaned up comments

2434 - added header comments to convo.awk script
2435 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
2436 better suited to its general API purpose
2437 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
2438 a public API function
2439 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
2440 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
2442 - added mode checks to Controller
2443 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
2444 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
2445 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
2448 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
2449 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
2450 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
2451 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
2452 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
2453 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
2454 from the Command Table
2455 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
2456 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
2457 the Cassis spec more closely
2458 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
2459 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
2460 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
2463 - added Doxyfile to the project
2465 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
2466 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
2467 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
2469 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
2470 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
2471 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
2472 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
2473 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
2474 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
2475 less buffer than data copied
2476 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
2477 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
2478 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
2479 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
2481 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
2482 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
2484 - implemented socket::Close()
2485 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

2487 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
2489 - added .cvsignore files to project
2490 - added README notes to document the source architecture

2494 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
2496 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
2497 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
2498 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
2500 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
2501 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
2502 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
2503 - regular debug output
2504 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
2505 syslog someday, and never turned off)
2506 - raw data dump output
2507 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
2508 numbers into english (limited success)
2509 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
2510 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
2511 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
2512 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
2513 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
2514 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
2515 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
2516 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
2517 for socket 0 operations.
2518 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
2522 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
2523 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
2524 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
2525 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
2527 - syncberry tree started
