1 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
5 "Backup in progress..."
6 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
7 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
8 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
9 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
10 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
11 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
12 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
13 a new class called PostalAddress
14 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
15 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
16 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
17 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
19 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
21 - added vCard converter class
22 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
23 of empty attribute values and parameters,
24 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
25 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
26 an extra nth argument, in order to search
27 for multiple attributes with the same name...
28 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
29 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
30 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
33 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
34 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
35 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
36 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
40 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
41 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
42 new Barry ID would look like a new change
43 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
44 - added support for slow sync
45 - added clear() to idmap class
46 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
47 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
48 - added Notification time support
49 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
50 does not exist in a vformat data block
51 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
52 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
53 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
54 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
55 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
56 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
57 special cases in the future
59 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
61 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
62 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
63 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
65 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
66 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
67 library API that is not yet finished... will be
68 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
69 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
71 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
72 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
73 the goal is to be able to do:
74 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
76 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
77 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
78 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
79 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
81 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
82 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
84 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
86 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
87 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
89 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
90 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
91 in general use will not break on build
92 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
93 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
94 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
96 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
98 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
99 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
100 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
101 SetIds() is already there
102 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
103 and moved into record.h
104 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
106 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
107 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
108 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
109 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
111 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
113 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
114 - changes to PIN message patch:
115 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
116 - fixed tab alignment throughout
117 - removed typedef from Address struct
118 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
119 going to be a standalone type
120 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
121 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
122 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
123 backing on a field for other use
124 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
125 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
126 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
127 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
128 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
129 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
130 PIN Message so that we store both of these
133 - added item to gui/TODO
134 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
136 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
137 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
138 modified to split into the new separate files system
139 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
140 - reformatted the code to match coding style
142 - added copyright notice
143 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
144 - placed in Barry namespace
145 - added #ifdef header protectors
146 - added new files to Makefile.am
147 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
148 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
149 Brian Edginton's patch
150 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
151 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
154 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
155 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
159 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
160 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
161 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
162 linker errors with the new file layout
164 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
165 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
166 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
168 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
169 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
170 and added a command line option to turn
171 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
172 - command line option --help now also works
173 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
174 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
175 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
176 localizing the constants in one place
178 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
179 fields in Contact and Calendar records
180 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
181 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
182 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
183 Outlook from the comments.
184 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
185 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
186 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
187 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
188 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
193 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
194 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
197 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
198 based on the example plugin in the opensync
199 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
203 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
204 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
205 and then success afterward
206 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
207 - added item to gui's todo list
208 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
212 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
216 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
217 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
219 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
220 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
221 - updated maintainer/README
222 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
224 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
225 - bumped release number in barry.spec
228 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
229 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
230 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
231 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
233 - added development note to README
235 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
238 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
239 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
242 - removed some unneeded trace logs
243 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
245 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
246 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
248 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
249 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
251 - opensync module work:
252 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
253 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
254 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
255 a hard coded calendar record state table
256 - added lots of logging throughout
257 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
258 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
259 causing another sync on the next run
260 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
261 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
262 written to the Blackberry
263 - more opensync module work:
264 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
265 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
266 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
267 the environment classes
268 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
269 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
271 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
272 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
273 a sample configuration
274 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
275 on success (opensync module)
276 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
277 - allowed comments in the config file
278 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
279 routines are not available from the plugin side
282 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
283 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
284 only use idProduct, and updated man page
285 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
286 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
287 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
288 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
289 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
290 and the old search didn't always work
291 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
292 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
293 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
294 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
295 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
296 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
297 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
298 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
299 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
301 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
302 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
303 the vevent20 data (experimental)
305 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
306 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
308 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
310 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
311 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
313 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
315 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
317 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
318 FullName, even if there was no last name)
319 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
320 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
321 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
322 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
323 this special case, without relying on string length.
324 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
325 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
326 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
328 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
330 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
331 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
332 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
333 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
334 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
335 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
336 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
337 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
338 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
340 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
341 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
343 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
344 udev rules for the Pearl
345 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
347 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
348 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
349 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
350 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
351 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
352 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
353 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
354 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
355 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
356 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
357 - added license file to each package
358 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
361 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
362 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
364 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
365 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
366 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
368 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
369 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
370 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
371 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
372 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
373 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
374 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
375 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
376 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
378 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
379 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
385 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
388 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
390 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
391 device discovery code
392 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
393 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
394 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
395 than are really available... in this case, let's
396 just ignore the missing data and assume success
397 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
398 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
399 - ReleaseChecklist update
400 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
401 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
404 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
405 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
407 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
408 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
409 - added initial release maintainer scripts
410 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
411 no databases selected in configuration
412 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
413 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
414 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
415 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
416 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
418 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
419 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
420 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
421 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
422 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
423 -v now controls this as well
424 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
425 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
426 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
427 the beginning of USB conversations
428 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
429 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
430 its sequence number behaviour
431 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
432 socket 0 level command
433 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
434 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
435 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
436 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
437 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
438 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
439 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
440 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
441 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
442 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
443 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
444 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
445 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
447 - updated controller.cc:
448 - uses new socket 0 implementation
449 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
450 selecting modes, as it should use the
451 socket 0 sequence number
452 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
453 - updated some .cvsignore files
455 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
456 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
461 - moved Command() to base Packet class
462 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
463 new PasswordChallenge struct
464 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
465 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
466 password hashing logic.
467 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
469 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
470 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
471 - major LDIF overhaul:
472 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
474 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
475 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
476 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
478 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
480 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
481 notes fields were missed in old version if not
483 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
484 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
485 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
486 - large update to btool manpage
487 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
489 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
490 - removed commented code from translate.cc
491 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
492 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
493 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
494 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
495 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
496 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
497 instead of hardcoding it.
499 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
500 - minor tweaks to README
501 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
502 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
503 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
504 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
505 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
506 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
507 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
509 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
510 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
511 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
512 - added iomanip to debug.h
513 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
514 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
517 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
518 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
519 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
520 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
523 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
524 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
526 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
528 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
529 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
530 one base class: Barry::Error
531 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
532 - added BadPassword exception
538 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
539 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
540 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
541 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
542 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
543 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
544 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
546 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
547 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
548 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
549 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
550 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
553 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
554 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
556 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
557 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
558 - iostream output size fixes
559 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
560 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
561 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
562 this is still experimental
563 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
564 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
566 - uncommented the about box menu handler
567 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
568 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
569 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
571 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
572 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
573 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
574 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
575 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
576 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
577 and record objects that use it.
578 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
579 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
581 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
582 This returns the default rectype that should work
583 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
584 the device, but in the case where a database has no
585 records, this info would be good to know.
586 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
587 to use GetDefaultRecType()
588 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
589 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
590 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
591 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
592 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
593 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
594 - backup GUI updates:
595 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
596 and changed the logic so the restore continues
597 even if there was a protocol error on one database
598 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
599 i.e. Backup or Restore
600 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
601 it appears to be read-only on the device
602 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
603 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
604 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
605 supported now by the library
607 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
608 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
610 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
611 using the library should not care about endianness
612 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
613 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
615 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
617 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
619 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
621 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
622 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
623 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
625 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
626 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
627 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
629 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
630 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
631 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
632 through btool, for development
633 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
634 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
635 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
636 - finished implementation of GUI restore
637 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
638 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
639 exceptions need to be handled with
640 Glib::add_exception_handler()
641 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
642 - added pending gui/TODO items
644 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
645 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
646 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
647 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
648 when we try to write to it)
649 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
651 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
653 - updated copyright dates for the new year

662 backups only at this point
664 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
665 - added version API, returning version number and string
666 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
667 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
668 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
669 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
671 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
672 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
674 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
675 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
676 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
677 leaving the device in Desktop mode
679 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
681 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
683 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
684 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
686 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
688 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
689 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
691 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
692 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
693 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
694 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
695 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
696 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
698 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
699 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
700 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
702 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs

704 a future Debian install
705 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
706 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
707 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
708 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
710 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
711 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
712 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

731 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
732 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
734 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
735 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
736 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
737 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
738 properly when installed standalone
739 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
740 installed barry library

778 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
779 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
780 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
782 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
783 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
784 more use of the base exception to make sure no
785 exceptions leak into the C library code
787 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
788 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
790 - fixed casting error in opensync module
791 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
793 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
796 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
797 splitting the code into 3 groups:
798 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
799 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
800 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
801 header of its own, in the case of email
802 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
803 Record does not know the details of the packet
804 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
805 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
806 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
807 providing an API for it... packet does not know
808 the record format details, but does know the
809 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
811 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
812 of operation formats and record formats, with the
813 record formats being the same even with different
814 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
815 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
816 See the header size of the email record after
818 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
819 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
820 The Controller object does not know the format
821 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
822 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
823 to talk to the device.
824 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
826 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
828 - added sample hotplug scripts
829 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
830 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
831 handle non-little-endian machines
832 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
833 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
834 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
835 and cause a failure to reach the device...
836 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
837 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
838 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
839 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
841 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
843 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
844 flags of individual blackberry device records
845 - added endian macros throughout the code

851 - removed slow sync functions for now
853 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
854 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
855 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
856 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
857 the base classes for all exceptions
858 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
859 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

863 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
864 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
865 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

873 - old and new unique ID (UID)
875 - old and new description
877 - bes domain / domain
878 - date change in legal.txt
879 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
880 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
881 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
882 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
883 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
885 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
886 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
888 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
889 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
890 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
892 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
893 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

933 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
934 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
935 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
937 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
938 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
939 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
940 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
941 throw exception in controller.cc
942 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
943 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
944 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
945 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
946 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
947 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
948 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
949 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser
950 class, and "all day event" flag support
952 - added autoconf to Todo list
953 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
954 be reused for upload and download

965 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
966 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
967 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
968 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
969 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
971 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
972 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data

976 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
977 - added builder.h, to support uploading
978 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
979 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
980 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
981 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
984 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
985 optimize away protocol struct casts

991 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
992 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
993 structs are completely hidden in the library...
994 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1019 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1020 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1021 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1022 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1023 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1024 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1025 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1026 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1027 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1028 seem to need more time...)
1029 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1030 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1031 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1032 with Python, if used(?)
1033 - added Message class for Email records
1034 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1035 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1064 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1065 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1066 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the

1068 from the Command Table
1069 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1070 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1071 the Cassis spec more closely
1072 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1073 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1074 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1077 - added Doxyfile to the project
1079 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1080 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1081 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1083 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1084 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1085 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1086 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1088 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1089 less buffer than data copied
1090 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1091 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1092 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1093 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1095 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1096 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1098 - implemented socket::Close()
1099 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1107 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1108 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1110 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1111 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1112 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1114 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1115 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1116 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1117 - regular debug output
1118 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1119 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1120 - raw data dump output
1121 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1122 numbers into english (limited success)
1123 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1124 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1125 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1126 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1127 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1128 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1129 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1130 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1131 for socket 0 operations.
1132 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1136 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1137 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1138 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1139 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
