1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
5 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
6 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
7 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
11 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
12 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
13 new Barry ID would look like a new change
14 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
15 - added support for slow sync
16 - added clear() to idmap class
17 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
18 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
19 - added Notification time support
20 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
21 does not exist in a vformat data block
22 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
23 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
24 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
25 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
26 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
27 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
28 special cases in the future
30 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
32 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
33 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
34 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
36 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
37 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
38 library API that is not yet finished... will be
39 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
40 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
42 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
43 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
44 the goal is to be able to do:
45 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
47 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
48 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
49 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
50 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
52 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
53 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
55 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
57 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
58 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
60 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
61 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
62 in general use will not break on build
63 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
64 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
65 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
67 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
69 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
70 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
71 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
72 SetIds() is already there
73 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
74 and moved into record.h
75 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
77 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
78 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
79 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
80 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
82 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
84 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
85 - changes to PIN message patch:
86 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
87 - fixed tab alignment throughout
88 - removed typedef from Address struct
89 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
90 going to be a standalone type
91 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
92 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
93 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
94 backing on a field for other use
95 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
96 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
97 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
98 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
99 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
100 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
101 PIN Message so that we store both of these
104 - added item to gui/TODO
105 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
107 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
108 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
109 modified to split into the new separate files system
110 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
111 - reformatted the code to match coding style
113 - added copyright notice
114 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
115 - placed in Barry namespace
116 - added #ifdef header protectors
117 - added new files to Makefile.am
118 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
119 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
120 Brian Edginton's patch
121 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
122 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
125 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
126 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
130 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
131 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
132 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
133 linker errors with the new file layout
135 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
136 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
137 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
139 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
140 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
141 and added a command line option to turn
142 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
143 - command line option --help now also works
144 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
145 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
146 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
147 localizing the constants in one place
149 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
150 fields in Contact and Calendar records
151 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
152 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
153 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
154 Outlook from the comments.
155 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
156 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
157 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
158 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
159 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
164 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
165 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
168 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
169 based on the example plugin in the opensync
170 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
174 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
175 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
176 and then success afterward
177 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
178 - added item to gui's todo list
179 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
183 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
187 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
188 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
190 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

192 - updated maintainer/README
193 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
195 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
196 - bumped release number in barry.spec
199 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
200 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
201 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
202 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
204 - added development note to README
206 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
209 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
210 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
213 - removed some unneeded trace logs
214 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
216 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
217 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
219 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
220 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
222 - opensync module work:
223 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
224 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
225 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
226 a hard coded calendar record state table
227 - added lots of logging throughout
228 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
229 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
230 causing another sync on the next run
231 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
232 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
233 written to the Blackberry
234 - more opensync module work:
235 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
236 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
237 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
238 the environment classes
239 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
240 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
242 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
243 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
244 a sample configuration
245 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
246 on success (opensync module)
247 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
248 - allowed comments in the config file
249 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
250 routines are not available from the plugin side
253 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
254 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
255 only use idProduct, and updated man page
256 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
257 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
258 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
259 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
260 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
261 and the old search didn't always work
262 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
263 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
264 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
265 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
266 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
267 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
268 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
269 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
270 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
272 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
273 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
274 the vevent20 data (experimental)
276 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
277 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
279 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
281 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
282 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
284 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
286 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
288 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
289 FullName, even if there was no last name)
290 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
291 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
292 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
293 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
294 this special case, without relying on string length.
295 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
296 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
297 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
299 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
301 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
302 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
303 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
304 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
305 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
306 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
307 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
308 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
309 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
311 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
312 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
314 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
315 udev rules for the Pearl
316 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
318 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
319 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
320 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
321 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
322 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
323 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
324 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
325 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
326 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
327 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
328 - added license file to each package
329 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
332 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
333 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
335 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
336 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
337 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
339 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
340 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
341 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
342 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
343 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
344 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
345 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
346 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
347 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
349 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
350 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
356 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
359 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
361 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
362 device discovery code
363 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
364 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
365 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
366 than are really available... in this case, let's
367 just ignore the missing data and assume success
368 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
369 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
370 - ReleaseChecklist update
371 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
372 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
375 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
376 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
378 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
379 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
380 - added initial release maintainer scripts
381 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
382 no databases selected in configuration
383 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
384 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
385 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
386 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
387 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
389 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
390 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
391 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
392 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
393 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
394 -v now controls this as well
395 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
396 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
397 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
398 the beginning of USB conversations
399 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
400 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
401 its sequence number behaviour
402 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
403 socket 0 level command
404 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
405 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
406 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
407 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
408 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
409 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
410 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
411 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
412 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
413 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
414 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
415 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
416 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
418 - updated controller.cc:
419 - uses new socket 0 implementation
420 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
421 selecting modes, as it should use the
422 socket 0 sequence number
423 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
424 - updated some .cvsignore files
426 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
427 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
432 - moved Command() to base Packet class
433 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
434 new PasswordChallenge struct
435 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
436 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
437 password hashing logic.
438 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
440 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
441 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
442 - major LDIF overhaul:
443 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
445 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
446 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
447 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
449 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
451 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
452 notes fields were missed in old version if not
454 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
455 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
456 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
457 - large update to btool manpage
458 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
460 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
461 - removed commented code from translate.cc
462 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
463 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
464 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
465 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
466 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
467 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
468 instead of hardcoding it.
470 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
471 - minor tweaks to README
472 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
473 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
474 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
475 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
476 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
477 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
478 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
480 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
481 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
482 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
483 - added iomanip to debug.h
484 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
485 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
488 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
489 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
490 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
491 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
494 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
495 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
497 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
499 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
500 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
501 one base class: Barry::Error
502 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
503 - added BadPassword exception
509 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
510 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
511 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
512 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
513 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
514 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
515 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
517 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
518 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
519 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
520 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
521 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
524 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
525 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
527 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
528 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
529 - iostream output size fixes
530 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
531 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
532 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
533 this is still experimental
534 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
535 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
537 - uncommented the about box menu handler
538 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
539 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
540 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
542 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
543 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
544 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
545 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
546 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
547 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
548 and record objects that use it.
549 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
550 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
552 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
553 This returns the default rectype that should work
554 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
555 the device, but in the case where a database has no
556 records, this info would be good to know.
557 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
558 to use GetDefaultRecType()
559 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
560 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
561 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
562 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
563 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
564 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
565 - backup GUI updates:
566 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
567 and changed the logic so the restore continues
568 even if there was a protocol error on one database
569 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
570 i.e. Backup or Restore
571 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
572 it appears to be read-only on the device
573 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
574 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
575 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
576 supported now by the library
578 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
579 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
581 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
582 using the library should not care about endianness
583 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
584 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
586 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
588 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
590 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
592 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
593 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
594 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
596 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
597 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
598 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
600 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
601 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
602 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
603 through btool, for development
604 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
605 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
606 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
607 - finished implementation of GUI restore
608 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
609 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,

643 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
645 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
646 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
647 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
648 leaving the device in Desktop mode
650 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
652 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
654 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
655 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us

663 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
664 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
665 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in

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

758 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
759 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
761 - fixed casting error in opensync module
762 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
764 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
767 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
768 splitting the code into 3 groups:
769 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
770 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
771 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
772 header of its own, in the case of email
773 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
774 Record does not know the details of the packet
775 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
776 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
777 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
778 providing an API for it... packet does not know
779 the record format details, but does know the
780 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
782 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
783 of operation formats and record formats, with the
784 record formats being the same even with different
785 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
786 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
787 See the header size of the email record after
789 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
790 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
791 The Controller object does not know the format
792 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
793 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
794 to talk to the device.
795 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
797 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
799 - added sample hotplug scripts

801 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
802 handle non-little-endian machines
803 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
804 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
805 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
806 and cause a failure to reach the device...
807 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
808 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
809 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
810 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
812 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
814 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
815 flags of individual blackberry device records

826 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
827 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
828 the base classes for all exceptions
829 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
830 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

844 - old and new unique ID (UID)
846 - old and new description
848 - bes domain / domain
849 - date change in legal.txt
850 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
851 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
852 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
853 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
854 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
856 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
857 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
859 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
860 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
861 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

908 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
909 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
910 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
911 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
912 throw exception in controller.cc
913 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
914 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
915 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
916 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
917 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
918 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions

939 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
940 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
942 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

962 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
963 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
964 structs are completely hidden in the library...

990 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
991 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
992 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
993 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
994 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
995 Observed maximum blank count: 1
996 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
997 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
998 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
999 seem to need more time...)
1000 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1001 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1002 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1003 with Python, if used(?)
1004 - added Message class for Email records
1005 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1006 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1039 from the Command Table
1040 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1041 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1042 the Cassis spec more closely
1043 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing

1045 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1048 - added Doxyfile to the project
1050 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1051 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1052 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent

1060 less buffer than data copied
1061 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1062 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1063 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1064 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1066 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1067 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1069 - implemented socket::Close()
1070 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1079 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1081 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1082 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1083 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1085 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1086 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1087 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1088 - regular debug output
1089 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1090 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1091 - raw data dump output
1092 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1093 numbers into english (limited success)
1094 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1095 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1096 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1097 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1098 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1099 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1100 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1101 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1102 for socket 0 operations.
1103 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1107 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1108 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1109 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
