1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/06/08
4 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
5 dependency
6 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
7 2007/06/07
8 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
9 2007/06/06
10 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
11 - changes to PIN message patch:
12 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
13 - fixed tab alignment throughout
14 - removed typedef from Address struct
15 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
16 going to be a standalone type
17 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
18 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
19 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
20 backing on a field for other use
21 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
22 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
23 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
24 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
25 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
26 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
27 PIN Message so that we store both of these
28 - updated AUTHORS

82 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
83 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
84 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling

86 libbarry
87 libbarry-dev
88 barry-util
89 barrybackup-gui
90 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
91 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
92 small on Debian Etch
93 - opensync plugin:
94 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
95 based on the example plugin in the opensync
96 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
97 is incomplete
98 2007/05/04
99 - opensync plugin:
100 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)

124 - opensync plugin:
125 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
126 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
127 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
128 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
129 xml data format...
130 - added development note to README
131 2007/04/29
132 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
133 build instructions
134 - opensync plugin:
135 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
136 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
137 2007/04/27
138 - opensync module:
139 - removed some unneeded trace logs
140 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
141 m_Data pointer
142 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
143 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
144 if empty
145 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
146 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
147 2007/04/26
148 - opensync module work:
149 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
150 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
151 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
152 a hard coded calendar record state table
153 - added lots of logging throughout
154 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
155 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
156 causing another sync on the next run
157 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
158 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
159 written to the Blackberry
160 - more opensync module work:
161 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
162 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
163 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
164 the environment classes
165 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
166 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
167 2007/04/20
168 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
169 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
170 a sample configuration
171 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
172 on success (opensync module)
173 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
174 - allowed comments in the config file
175 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
176 routines are not available from the plugin side
177 2007/04/19
178 - updated gui/TODO
179 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
180 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
181 only use idProduct, and updated man page
182 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
183 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
184 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
185 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
186 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
187 and the old search didn't always work
188 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
189 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
190 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
191 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
192 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
193 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
194 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
195 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
196 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
197 search at 0
198 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
199 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
200 the vevent20 data (experimental)
201 2007/04/04
202 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
203 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
204 2007/03/30
205 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
206 if found
207 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
208 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
209 of the project
210 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
211 2007/03/29
212 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
213 - updated AUTHORS
214 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
215 FullName, even if there was no last name)
216 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
217 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
218 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
219 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
220 this special case, without relying on string length.
221 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
222 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
223 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
224 2007/03/17
225 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
226 2007/03/16
227 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
228 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
229 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
230 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
231 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
232 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
233 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
234 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
235 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
236 in some cases
237 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
238 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
239 2007/03/08
240 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
241 udev rules for the Pearl
242 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
243 functionality
244 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
245 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
246 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
247 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
248 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
249 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
250 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
251 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
252 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
253 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
254 - added license file to each package
255 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
256 discussion
257 - updated AUTHORS
258 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
259 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
260 for the bug report
261 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
262 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
263 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
264 user.
265 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
266 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
267 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
268 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
269 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
270 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
271 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
272 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
273 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
274 as a guide
275 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
276 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
277 2007/03/02
278 - version bump in:
279 - configure.ac
280 - src/Makefile.am
281 - src/version.cc
282 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
283 - src/Doxyfile
284 - rpm/barry.spec
285 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
286 for it
287 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
288 device discovery code
289 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
290 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
291 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
292 than are really available... in this case, let's
293 just ignore the missing data and assume success
294 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
295 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
296 - ReleaseChecklist update
297 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
298 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
299 dependency
301 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
302 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
303 2007/02/28
304 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
305 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
306 - added initial release maintainer scripts
307 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
308 no databases selected in configuration
309 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
310 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
311 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
312 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
313 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
314 2007/02/23
315 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
316 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
317 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
318 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
319 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
320 -v now controls this as well
321 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
322 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
323 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
324 the beginning of USB conversations
325 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
326 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
327 its sequence number behaviour
328 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
329 socket 0 level command
330 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
331 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
332 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
333 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
334 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
335 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
336 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
337 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
338 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
339 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
340 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
341 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
342 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
343 of socket 0 packets
344 - updated controller.cc:
345 - uses new socket 0 implementation
346 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
347 selecting modes, as it should use the
348 socket 0 sequence number
349 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
350 - updated some .cvsignore files
351 - updated TODO
352 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
353 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
354 - ChallengeSeed()
355 - RemainingTries()
356 - SocketResponse()
357 - SocketSqeuence()
358 - moved Command() to base Packet class
359 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
360 new PasswordChallenge struct
361 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
362 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
363 password hashing logic.
364 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
365 2007/02/22
366 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
367 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
368 - major LDIF overhaul:
369 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
370 into its own
371 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
372 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
373 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
374 contact field names
375 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
376 if necessary
377 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
378 notes fields were missed in old version if not
379 encoded
380 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
381 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
382 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
383 - large update to btool manpage
384 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
385 2007/02/15
386 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
387 - removed commented code from translate.cc
388 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
389 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
390 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
391 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
392 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
393 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
394 instead of hardcoding it.
395 2007/02/10
396 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
397 - minor tweaks to README
398 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
399 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
400 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
401 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
402 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
403 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
404 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
405 2007/02/09
406 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
407 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
408 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
409 - added iomanip to debug.h
410 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
411 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
412 2007/02/04
413 - updated AUTHORS
414 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
415 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
416 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
417 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
418 from Ian Darwin
419 2007/02/03
420 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
421 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
422 - updated AUTHORS
423 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
424 2007/02/02
425 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
426 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
427 one base class: Barry::Error
428 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
429 - added BadPassword exception
430 2007/02/01
431 - version bump in:
432 - configure.ac
433 - src/Makefile.am
434 - src/version.cc
435 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
436 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
437 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
438 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
439 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
440 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
441 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
442 in the future.
443 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
444 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
445 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
446 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
447 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
448 due to pending reads
450 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
451 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
452 2007/01/26
453 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
454 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
455 - iostream output size fixes
456 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
457 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
458 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
459 this is still experimental
460 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
461 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
462 Debian stable
463 - uncommented the about box menu handler
464 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
465 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
466 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
467 2007/01/25
468 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
469 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
470 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
471 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
472 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
473 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
474 and record objects that use it.
475 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
476 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
477 32 bits
478 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
479 This returns the default rectype that should work
480 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
481 the device, but in the case where a database has no
482 records, this info would be good to know.
483 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
484 to use GetDefaultRecType()
485 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
486 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
487 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
488 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
489 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
490 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
491 - backup GUI updates:
492 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
493 and changed the logic so the restore continues
494 even if there was a protocol error on one database
495 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
496 i.e. Backup or Restore
497 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
498 it appears to be read-only on the device
499 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
500 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
501 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
502 supported now by the library
503 2007/01/21
504 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
505 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
506 - changes to patch:
507 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
508 using the library should not care about endianness
509 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
510 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
511 install
512 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
513 for the same reason
514 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
515 Version call instead
516 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
517 - updated AUTHORS
518 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
519 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
520 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
521 2007/01/20
522 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
523 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
524 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
525 some older devices
526 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
527 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
528 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
529 through btool, for development
530 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
531 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
532 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
533 - finished implementation of GUI restore
534 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
535 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
536 exceptions need to be handled with
537 Glib::add_exception_handler()
538 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
539 - added pending gui/TODO items
540 2007/01/19
541 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
542 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
543 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
544 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
545 when we try to write to it)
546 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
547 2007/01/18
548 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
549 2007/01/13
550 - updated copyright dates for the new year
551 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
552 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
553 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
554 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
555 - updated README
556 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
557 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
558 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
559 backups only at this point
560 2007/01/11
561 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
562 - added version API, returning version number and string
563 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
564 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
565 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
566 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
567 2007/01/05
568 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
569 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
570 in probe.h)
571 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
572 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
573 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
574 leaving the device in Desktop mode
575 2007/01/04
576 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
577 different rules
578 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
579 USB product ID 6
580 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
581 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
582 2006/12/29
583 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
585 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
586 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
587 2006/12/29
588 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
589 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
590 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
591 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
592 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
593 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
594 depend on.
595 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
596 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
597 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
598 package scripts
599 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
600 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
601 a future Debian install
602 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
603 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
604 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
605 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
606 2006/12/21
607 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
608 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
609 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
610 - fixed more endian issues
611 - minor update to TODO
612 2006/12/15

625 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
626 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
627 into their own tools/ subdirectory
628 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
629 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
630 use only
631 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
632 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
633 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
634 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
635 properly when installed standalone
636 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
637 installed barry library
638 - added commentary on version number system
639 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
640 system supercedes it
641 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
642 - added library version number to autoconf build
643 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
644 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
645 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
646 option... may need to revisit this later
647 - quick installation update in README
648 2006/12/01
649 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
650 some size checks
651 - fixed endian issues in time.h

653 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
654 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
655 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
656 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
657 2006/11/24

659 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
661 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
662 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
663 2006/11/23
664 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()

677 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
678 at once
679 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
680 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
681 more use of the base exception to make sure no
682 exceptions leak into the C library code
684 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
685 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
686 2006/10/12
687 - fixed casting error in opensync module
688 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
689 2006/09/29
690 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
691 the bug report
692 2006/09/08
693 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
694 splitting the code into 3 groups:
695 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
696 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
697 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
698 header of its own, in the case of email
699 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
700 Record does not know the details of the packet
701 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
702 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
703 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
704 providing an API for it... packet does not know
705 the record format details, but does know the
706 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
707 packet format.
708 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
709 of operation formats and record formats, with the
710 record formats being the same even with different
711 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
712 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
713 See the header size of the email record after
714 refactoring.
715 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
716 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
717 The Controller object does not know the format
718 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
719 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
720 to talk to the device.
721 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
722 we come!
723 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
724 2006/09/01
725 - added sample hotplug scripts
726 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
727 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
728 handle non-little-endian machines
729 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
730 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
731 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
732 and cause a failure to reach the device...
733 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
734 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
735 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
736 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
737 engineered.
738 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
739 for smarter syncing
740 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
741 flags of individual blackberry device records
742 - added endian macros throughout the code
743 2006/07/13
744 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
745 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
746 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
747 for development)
748 - removed slow sync functions for now
749 2006/07/07
750 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
751 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
752 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
753 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
754 the base classes for all exceptions
755 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
756 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
757 2006/06/22
758 - added to Contact record class:
759 - Clear()
760 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
761 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
762 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
763 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
764 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
765 and upload it to a blackberry
766 - updated src/.cvsignore
767 2006/06/16
768 - added parsing of service book fields:
769 - old and new name
770 - old and new unique ID (UID)
771 - content ID (CID)
772 - old and new description
773 - DSID
774 - bes domain / domain
775 - date change in legal.txt
776 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
777 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
778 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
779 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
780 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
781 2006/06/09
782 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
783 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
784 - added AUTHORS file
785 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
786 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
787 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
788 2006/05/25
789 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
790 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

802 returning errors properly
803 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
804 of Controller template member usage
805 2006/03/29
806 - copyright dates updated for 2006
807 2006/01/05
808 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

811 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
812 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
813 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
814 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

817 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
818 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
819 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

834 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
835 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
836 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
837 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
838 throw exception in controller.cc
839 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
840 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
841 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
842 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
843 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
844 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
845 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

850 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
851 be reused for upload and download
852 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by

854 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
855 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
856 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
857 this obsolete)
858 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
859 2005/12/10
860 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
861 - added boost::serialization to build
862 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
863 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
864 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
865 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
866 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
867 properly serialized
868 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

878 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
879 for later saving
880 2005/12/07
881 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
882 optimize away protocol struct casts
883 see:
884 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

888 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
889 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
890 structs are completely hidden in the library...
891 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
893 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
894 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

915 2005/11/19
916 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
917 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
918 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
919 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
920 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
921 Observed maximum blank count: 1
922 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
923 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
924 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
925 seem to need more time...)
926 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
927 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
928 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
929 with Python, if used(?)
930 - added Message class for Email records
931 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
932 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
933 available, and parses it with a Parser object

946 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
947 better suited to its general API purpose
948 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
949 a public API function
950 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
951 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
952 the command line
953 - added mode checks to Controller
954 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
955 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

957 file based
958 2005/11/18
959 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
960 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
961 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
962 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
963 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
964 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
965 from the Command Table
966 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
967 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
968 the Cassis spec more closely
969 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
970 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
971 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
972 destructors
973 2005/11/17
974 - added Doxyfile to the project
975 - tuned Makefile
976 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
977 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
978 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
979 data transfers.
980 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
981 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
982 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
983 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
984 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
985 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
986 less buffer than data copied
987 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
988 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
989 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
990 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
991 data
992 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
993 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
994 saved
995 - implemented socket::Close()
996 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
997 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
998 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
999 2005/11/11
1000 - added .cvsignore files to project
1001 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1002 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1003 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1004 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1005 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1006 -l = list only
1007 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1008 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1009 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1010 results
1011 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1012 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1013 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1014 - regular debug output
1015 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1016 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1017 - raw data dump output
1018 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1019 numbers into english (limited success)
1020 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1021 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1022 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1023 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1024 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1025 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1026 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1027 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1028 for socket 0 operations.
1029 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1030 MAKE_PACKET()
1031 COMMAND()
1032 IS_COMMAND()
1033 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1034 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1035 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1036 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
