[barry.git] / ChangeLog

Release: version 0.17.0 - 2010/01/??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2010/12/31
        - merged translation and general bug fixes from Nicolas Vivien
        - lib: merged Nicolas Vivien's BlackBerry.alx parser
        - lib: changed pointer handling in src/a_*.h to use shared_ptr<>
2010/12/24
        - lib: cleaned up Clear() functions in all record classes
                Primarily fixed some missing variables.
        - lib: added record parser for the Content Store database
        - tools: added simple output mode to bio for Content Store
                This supports extracting files and photos from Content Store.
        - lib: fixed display bug in Date's operator<<
        - lib: added HomeFax, MobilePhone2, and Nickname fields to Contact
        - lib: tweaked tarfile.cc so it skips all directory names instead
                of throwing exceptions... this allows reading of tarball
                backups that may have been created by tar or perlbarry's
                ipd2tgz tool
2010/12/21
        - tools: added bio command line tool, Barry Input / Output
                Supports IO for devices, tar backups, boost, ldif streams,
                mime streams, hex and human dumps, and sha1 output
2010/12/19
        - lib: fixed capitalization API consistency in pin.h
2010/12/13
        - tools: fixed StartParser/EndParser bug in brecsum and bfuse
                These calls are not used or called by the library anymore.
        - lib: added DBDataBuilder class, to make it easy to wrap a DBData
                object in a builder for APIs that need it
        - lib: added DeviceParser class, which behaves like a parser
                in that it accepts incoming DBData blocks, but instead
                of parsing them, writes them to the device.
                Therefore to copy: DeviceBuilder -> Pipe -> DeviceParser
2010/12/07
        - tools: added -i charset support to btardump
2010/12/04
        - lib: add ALX parser by Nicolas VIVIEN
        - lib: add browser bookmarks parser by Nicolas VIVIEN
        - tools: added -V option to btardump by Nicolas VIVIEN, to output in the new 
                MIME vformat mode for records that are supported
2010/12/02
        - doc: clarified btardump help, and added btardump.1 manpage
2010/11/30
        - lib: fixed but in Messages parser, which used CheckSize()
                inappropriately
        - lib: added Data version of TarFile::ReadNextFile() (optimization)
        - lib: allow Packet class to override receive buffer on the fly
        - lib: added Data::Append()
        - lib: substantial cleanup of the Builder API, removing the
                Retrieve() and BuildDone() steps, and using just
                BuildRecord() and FetchRecord(), depending on whether
                the caller needs offset support or not.
                In this change, the TarFile Data optimization is used.
        - lib: another API change, for Parser, removing StartParser()
                and EndParser()
        - lib: optimized Mode::DBLoader to allow application level data buffers
        - lib: added DeviceBuilder class, which gives a Builder interface
                to reading records directly from a device
        - lib: added a swath of new parser assistant classes: HexDumpParser,
                RecordParserBase, NullStore<>, DumpStore<>, MultiRecordParser,
                AllRecordStore, AllRecordDumpStore, AllRecordParser,
                and TeeParser
        - examples: added pipedump.cc to demo how to use some of the new
                builders, parsers, and pipe class
        - tools: added btardump for parsing backup files from command line
2010/11/16
        - doc: clarified btool -X in its man page
2010/11/09
        - doc: updated Fedora's RPM git repo URL
2010/11/02
        - added library dependency info to pkg-config .pc files
        - cleaned up constructor and initialization order and pointer
                issues found by the automatic API tester at:
                http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/versions/barry.html
2010/11/01
        - lib: fixed header bugs
        - maint: added abi checker scripts and config
2010/10/28
        - changed the versioning sheme for Barry, updating doc/VersionNotes,
                src/Makefile.am, and ChangeLog
        - updated maintainer scripts to support 3-number versions
2010/10/20
        - lib: simplified parser and builder API, using the new DBData class
                This also updates the DBData class to support copy-on-write
                in construction, to avoid copies wherever possible.
                Also, this patch affects a lot of code, and it is all
                updated at once.
2010/10/18
        - lib: removed needless data copy in Socket::Packet()
        - lib: moved command/response buffers into Desktop class itself
        - lib: added DBData and DBLoader... these classes make it possible
                for the programmer to control the database record loading
                process, instead of using the parser callback mechanism...
                this is the beginning stage of adding generic data flow
                channels to Barry, to hopefully make it easy to pass
                data from backup files to devices, from device to device,
                from backup to backup, and more
2010/10/14
        - lib: fixed timeout mismatch behaviour between USB and Router
                The default timeout (-1) for usbwrap is about 30 seconds,
                while the default timeout (-1) for the DataQueues used
                by the Router is forever.  The router now accepts a default
                read timeout of its own, and defaults to the same 30
                seconds as usbwrap.
2010/10/13
        - a number of build tweaks for compiling command line tools
                on Windows
2010/10/07
        - made bcharge more flexible... Dual mode is not the default anymore,
                since newer devices seem to present themselves in a sane
                manner via USB.  Instead -o and -d only happen if specified.
                This patch also adds a new option, -g, which will set dual
                mode only if Interface Class 255 (database) is not found.
                Also updated the udev rules to use -d and -g as appropriate.
        - reverted commit c7685942140b123bf110e755ce11a97c3c6372f7 (the
                UnrouteableReadError patch) since it was discovered that
                usb bulk reads of 0 bytes are possible and valid
2010/10/05
        - doc: added note about --with-libintl-prefix=/opt/local/ on Mac OSX
                Thanks to Toby Gray for reporting this.
2010/10/04
        - merged from Toby Gray:
                - missing header in builder.h
                - added try/catch in SimpleReadThread()
                - added fallback to set_altinterface() in probe
        - added gettext.h convenience header to support --disable-nls
                Toby Gray discovered that when --disable-nls is used or
                on systems that do not support <libintl.h> well, it
                is recommended to use the gettext.h header as specified
                in the gettext documentation:
                http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#lib_002fgettext_002eh
                This commit adds gettext.h to both tools/ and the gui/
        - lib: added Builder::BuildDone() to make the multiple-call
                possibility of Retrieve() more explicit
        - lib: added Pipe class to join builders and parsers together
2010/10/02
        - lib: added start of libbarrybackup, and copied tarfile support
                from gui
        - lib: added DBName support to parsers and builders
        - lib: added BackupError and RestoreError exceptions
        - lib: removed the dbId from Builder::Retrieve()
        - tools: changed parser/builder auto_ptr to shared_ptr
        - added libbarrybackup*.pc file to install target
        - lib: added EndOfFile() to Builder
        - lib: added Backup parser and Restore builder classes
                These classes are based on the backup and restore logic of
                the GUI's DeviceIface.cc code, but made general.
        - tools: added tar backup option to btool (!)
2010/10/01
        - lib: cleaned up missing BXEXPORT / BXLOCAL flags for exceptions
                http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
        - lib: fixed build bug where GCC visibility flags were missing from
                the libbarrysync library
        - merged clear halt fixes from Toby Gray, which should make it
                possible to use Barry and usb-storage at the same time
2010/09/30
        - merged build fixes from Toby Gray
        - merged UnroutableReadError exception patch from Toby Gray
        - moved platform specific detail into tools/platform.h
2010/09/21
        - merged constant and timeout fixes from Toby Gray
        - lib: added belt-and-suspenders fix to usb Read functions
                This is to avoid the possibility of inappropriate asserts
2010/09/20
        - removed ppa_build.sh per request by Martin Owens
        - debian: added autopoint to build deps
                The new Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu Maverick have split out
                the autopoint script from the gettext package.  On systems
                with gettext 0.18 or newer, we require autopoint, and hope
                that autopoint depends on gettext.
2010/09/19
        - further split up the m4 directories to make the submodules
                yet more independent
        - debian: added back the autoreconf targets, but not cleanup targets
2010/09/18
        - debian: remove all autoreconf and cleanup targets
                Having the debian/rules files try to manage their own
                autoreconf is too much of a headache.  Binary packages
                should start with a valid autoconf and gettext / autopoint
                system already in place.
                This patch removes any temptation to believe otherwise.
                If you have been building source packages from git
                already, just add a call to "./buildgen.sh" before your
                debian binary build.
        - maint: overhaul of release / test build scripts
                Made scripts configurable by user, in case others have
                chroot build systems of their own.
2010/09/16
        - debian: updated rules to allow for building with an external debian/
        - applied Martin Owens' patch to add a debian directory to
                the opensync-plugin-0.4x plugin
        - debian: moved 0.22 plugin packaging to its own directory
2010/09/15
        - set AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR to [.] instead of parent directory, to make
                the submodules more independent
        - lib: fixed Makefile.am to install semaphore.h and scoped_lock.h
                This is needed for the raw channel code.
2010/09/11
        - added -A option to bjavaloader save
2010/09/07
        - added hardware contribution section to AUTHORS
2010/09/03
        - merged Toby Gray's and Adrian Taylor's RAW channel support code
        - updated debian binary package with brawchannel and examples and
                ppp chat scripts as docs
        - updated rpm barry.spec with brawchannel and ppp README
2010/08/31
        - os4x: optimized dirty flag clearing
                Clearing the dirty flags on newly updated records requires
                a reconnect, but it only requires one reconnect, and no
                reconnect it needed if nothing is written to the device,
                so skip the reconnect whenever possible, which makes syncing
                much faster
2010/08/30
        - lib: use thread-safe getpwuid_r() in config file code
2010/08/18
        - fixed build bug, where libbarrysync was still used even if glib2
                was not found on the system.  Thanks to Eric Arseneau
                for finding this during his Mac build testing.
        - added LTLIBINTL and LTLIBICONV to tools/Makefile.am for systems
                that have separate libraries for these features, such as
                the Mac
        - buildgen.sh calls libtoolize and glibtoolize now (Mac support)
2010/08/15
        - lib: fixed bug in ISO timezone detection... must be in [-+]HH[:]MM
                format, with 2 digits for the hours and minutes
2010/08/12
        - lib: added better ISO timestamp support... Now handles timestamps
                with dashes and colons, including timestamps with their
                own timezone offsets
        - lib: fixed vsnprintf() error check bug in log.cc... and added
                code to allocate memory if message is too long for
                static buffer
2010/07/29
        - applied patch from Martin Owens fixing version dependencies in
                debian binary packages
2010/07/22
        - gettext: removed autogenerated files and generate them in buildgen.sh
                Not sure if the version will matter, but since gettext 0.17
                is the only gettext version in common use (Ubuntu 10.04
                doesn't even have 0.18 yet) we'll stick with it for now.
                Hopefully 0.18's autopoint is smart enough to update things
                automatically.  I don't have 0.18 to test with.
2010/07/21
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's compile fix and French translation patches
2010/07/20
        - sync: added 1 second wait during Reconnect() to let firmware settle
                This seems to help prevent the firmware hang fixed yesterday,
                which ultimately speeds up the whole sync
        - os4x: reverted run-as-process undo commit... now runs as process
                again... I believe the timeout was the firmware issue, not
                an opensync issue
2010/07/19
        - lib: added ability to do a USB ClearHalt() from socket level
        - lib: added ability to override USB default timeout from controller
        - sync: added workarounds for firmware hang issue
                This workaround overrides the timeout due to a firmware
                issue: sometimes the firmware will hang during a plugin
                Reconnect(), during the shutdown stage when the plugin
                attempts to update the device's dirty flags.  When the
                device hangs like this, it fails to respond to a
                Desktop::Open().  To work around this, we set the default
                timeout to 15 seconds so that we find this failure early
                enough to fix it within opensync's 30 second timeout.
                Then if we get such a timeout, we do the Reconnect again and
                hope for the best... this often fixes it.
2010/07/17
        - lib: added tm_to_iso() to tzwrapper functions
        - lib: vbase now has default implementation of vTimeConverter (was
                vTimeZone) with a simpler API, based on TzWrapper underneath
        - lib: pulled in os4x vbase code, so both plugins are using one
                set of vformat code
        - lib: added vtodo and vjournal vformat support from os4x plugin
        - deb: added new libbarrysync library to debian binary package
        - tools: added -V option to btool, to output in the new MIME vformat
                mode for records that are supported
2010/07/16
        - lib: added BARRY_GCC_FORMAT_CHECK() for printf() style arg checking
        - lib: added C-style BarryLogf() function for internal use
        - libsync: moved vformat-related code from os22 to library
        - lib: included tzwrapper in Barry and Barrified the namespace
2010/07/13
        - os4x: undo run-as-process setting, since some tests indicate that
                sync will timeout
2010/07/10
        - ppp: copied barry-sprint to barry-telus, which also works
                Thanks to Matt McGirr who confirmed it works with Telus
        - os4x: run plugin as process... other opensync plugins seem to run
                better with this, and it seems like a good idea to isolate
                plugins as much as possible
2010/07/08
        - fixed bug in both opensync plugins where they would attempt to
                access a database, even if it was disabled in the config.
                Thanks to R. Brent Clements for reporting this bug.
2010/06/26
        - added Pete Zaitcev's usbmon-6, with some minor changes to
                remove root requirements and pretty up the hex dump format
2010/06/12
        - applied chat scripts for Orange Spain from Adrian Gibanel
        - updated debian and rpm packages with new chatscripts
2010/06/04
        - os22: ported Nicolas Vivien's multi-calendar patch to 0.22 plugin
                From commit: eb4d68df8d06f734e79e13ea05f7755aa5b0a5f3
                This patch is untested with multiple calendars as I don't
                have a device for such testing, but is identical to
                the 0.4x plugin code.
2010/06/03
        - doc: added wireshark USB capture method to USB-capture.txt
        - lib: added GetStore() access function to RecordParser template class
        - lib: Improved the record class operator<() member functions, basing
                the sort order on multiple fields in many cases.  This should
                produce a fairly stable sort for a given data set, regardless
                of RecordId.  This should be useful for scripted tests.
        - tools: Added -I command line option to make use of new sort order
        - man: Updated btool manpage
2010/05/29
        - applied 3 patches from Nicolas Vivien that add:
                - Calendar - All parser
                - special handling for syncing of multiple calendars
                - compiler fixes
        - lib: updated src/s11n-boost.h with new CalendarID and CalendarAll
        - lib: refactored Calendar*::Dump() functions
                note: this introduces a change in my earlier policy that
                avoided virtual functions in the record classes...
                the duplicate code overhead is just too heavy, and
                I think I was wrong to be afraid of virtual functions
                in containers anyway... vive la virtual! :-)
2010/05/28
        - rpm: added Fedora 13 support, and cleaned up conditionals
        - udev: fixed permissions issue, so device shows up in lsusb
                output even for users not in plugdev
        - applied two patches from Nicolas Vivien, one fixing a precision
                bug in BuildField() and another adding a 64bit BuildField()
2010/05/13
        - lib: fixed compile error in j_message.h
                Thanks to Raymond Blostein for the bug report and the
                link to the explanation of the C++ standard change:
                https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/522327/comments/1
2010/05/11
        - ppp: cleaned up ppp options files and put notes in README
                Thanks to feedback from Matt Machado for Rogers specific
                notes, and for recommendation to have one copy of
                comments for the PPP options.
2010/04/19
        - lib: added LDIF mapping support for Contact::Image fields
        - lib: fixed signed extension bug in base64 encoder
        - sync: ported Photo support from 0.4x plugin to 0.22 plugin
2010/03/30
        - updated Fedora and Mandriva maintainer info
2010/03/18

                changes didn't always cause a library rebuild
2010/01/15
        - updated barry.spec to install 69-blackberry.rules on Fedora 12
                note that this further breaks the opensuse build, but
                that is not currently supported anyway, due to lack of time
        - doc: added notes on tools to use for building RPMs in homedir
2010/01/04
        - udev: added 69-blackberry.rules for Fedora 12 systems. Thanks
                to Nathanael Noblet (list email dated 2009/12/30)

2009/12/15
        - lib: added operator==() to ProbeResult, and operator!= to Pin

                by default, but they can be saved and loaded separately.
                This new global config file is for global defaults,
                preferences, etc.
        - lib: added IsVerbose() API call

        - merged Nicolas Vivien's debug parser lib updates
                with change:
                - fixed API spelling typo and capitalization
        - added firmware upgrade to TODO list
        - added checks for pthread function errors in Thread class
        - moved #defines out of public dp_codinfo.h into dp_codinfo.cc
                Applications probably don't care about these.
        - changed string arguments to const references
        - added STL-style typedefs to list classes to make looping easier
                and easier to change types if needed
        - added libbarrydp as dependency for libbarryjdwp
        - replaced direct cout usage with dout() in dp_codinfo.cc
                - added Barry::Init to bdptest.cc, defaulting to verbose
                  mode, to keep the same behaviour as expected
        - use more generic std::istream in dp_codinfo, instead of ifstream
        - use references with iterator looping to avoid copies, and
                use const where appropriate
        - added typedef for j_server.cc's ConsoleCallbackType
        - tightened up member variable init and cleanup in JDWServer class
        - added exceptions in JDWServer class where marked TODO
        - made setup sequence dependent on previous steps, in acceptThread,
                so that the logic doesn't assume success where it could
                have failed
2009/09/10
        - added copyright notices to all source files in bjdwp/
                This is based on the initial README included in
                the patches from Nicolas Vivien stating that bjdwp
                was under the GPL.
        - added GPL license as file bjdwp/COPYING, since bjdwp is
                somewhat standalone, like the plugins and the gui
        - bjdwp: removed jdwplog() in favour of identical barryverbose()
        - bjdwp: moved into main tree from bjdwp/ and created two new
                libraries: libbarrydp and libbarryjdwp
2009/09/09
        - fixed potential loss of serial data during PPP init
                when seding the AT test, usually the OK response is
                sent to the callback, but if the expected non-serial
                response doesn't appear, the OK is lost... this fix
                passes the OK to the callback, which fixes some chatscript
                behaviour
        - gui: updated web documentation and screenshots
2009/09/08
        - changed wording on GUI reload button to clarify what it does
        - added documentation on how to change the theme for GTK+ apps
                when not using the Gnome desktop environment
        - fixed broken links in web doc generation
2009/09/05
        - applied backup GUI patches from Ryan Li:
                - resolved crash while disconnecting from no devices
                - added confirmation dialog before quitting
        - gui: handled case where the user exits via window manager Close
                button
                - also refactored 'working' confirmation logic
2009/09/04
        - fixed socket RawReceive verbose log message
                when reading from the default queue, the queue knows the
                endpoint, not the socket object
2009/09/03
        - added version output when -v is used in pppob
2009/09/02
        - fixed syncing of 8 contact phone numbers. Reported by
                Ian B. MacDonald, 2009/08/22
        - ported above syncing fix to opensync 0.4x plugin
        - applied Martin Owens' Barry logos 'patch'
2009/09/01
        - applied chatscript patch from Andrew Nording
                Sourceforge tracker #2848549
        - added KPN chatscripts to DEB and RPM binary packages
        - added KPN to script list in doc/www/modem.php
        - pulled from Nicolas Vivien: a909925ef6bf3d75b1597a9ddd16f52201690cbb
                Fixes for library and bjdwp documentation
        - moved bjdwp/doc/* to doc/bjdwp/ to keep docs in one spot
2009/08/31
        - pulled from Nicolas Vivien's repo.or.cz repo: bjvmdebug support
                With rebase changes and fixes to library.
                Fixes to library:
                - fixed buffer size checks in m_jvmdebug.cc
                - used #defines instead of hard coded numbers where possible
                - added FIXME to tidy up the Unknowns in the API
                - commented out Mode::Close(): not convinced that applications
                        should have to worry about socket-level details
                - added #define for JVM STOP command
                - removed unused Socket::PacketJVM() functions
                - made sizeof check in JVMPacket::Size() more specific
                Rebase changes:
                - removed executable chmod bits from BarryDemo java samples
                - removed copyrighted Sun documentation from bjdwp/doc/
        - fixed longstanding buffer size check bug in CheckSize()
        - updated AUTHORS
        - applied Ryan Li's latest threaded GUI patch (2009/08/25 email)
                - gui: added a wrapper around pStatusbar->push() to avoid
                        the never ending push syndrome
        - gui: added PIN to the "please name new device" dialog
        - gui: added statusbar workaround: normally the statusbar shows
                Ready after initialization, but since the initial Scan()
                happens right away, and the statusbar doesn't seem to
                update the screen until the handler is finished,
                we update the status bar during init instead
2009/08/30
        - applied Martin Owens' ppa_build.sh patch
        - added version output when -v is used in btool
        - changed USB verbose bus tree dump (i.e. btool -v) so the
                hex/decimal values look more like lsusb -v output,
                for ease of debugging
2009/08/29
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
                - Doxyfile
                - rpm/barry.spec
                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
                - opensync-plugin-0.4x/src/barry_sync.cc

        - applied Nicolas Vivien's phone duplication patch (opensync 0.4x)
        - fixed missing conflict check in vcard code in opensync 0.4x plugin
        - backported new TYPE parsing code from opensync-0.4x plugin to
                old opensync 0.22 plugin
        - added X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT support in both sync plugins to retain
                phone number order
2009/08/17
        - added pin and password command line support to bfuse
        - updated bfuse man page
2009/07/29
        - added border to barrybackup doc images
2009/07/28
        - updated license and URL in barry.spec
        - updated barrybackup Credits dialog to reference AUTHORS file
        - updated barrybackup.1 man page
        - updated doc/www scripts to generate more dynamic pages,
                so subheaders are not hard coded... this helps support
                updating the new NetDirect website
        - commented out out-of-date docs in hacking.php
        - marked milestone 4 complete (javaloader)
        - linked device compatibility list from index.php
2009/07/10
        - changed pppob to report if Serial was fallback or command line
        - started device compatibility list in web docs
2009/07/07
        - applied Ryan Li's GUI enhancement patches, which let the user
                switch devices without restarting, with fixes:
                - reorganized BackupWindow.glade for better spacing
                        - fixed width issue (main window was set to 275
                          width, which made things too narrow on Debian
                          Lenny
                        - moved buttons beside the drop down box, to
                          mimic old GUI behaviour
                        - added space around the middle controls, but
                          not around the menu bar or status bar, which
                          should be right against the outer window.
                - renamed m_device_num to m_device_count for clarity
                - changed m_device_count to unsigned int to fix compiler
                  warnings
                - removed gtkmm call to unset_model()
                  The function unset_model() is only available in gtkmm
                  2.16, and Debian Lenny only has 2.12, and won't compile.
                  Since set_model() automatically does the unset for us,
                  just reorganize the calls so Lenny is supported.
2009/07/06
        - applied Ryan Li's SMS clarification patch
2009/07/02
        - added Martin Owens' new Ubuntu PPA link to docs
        - added DEPUTY documentation and updated AUTHORS
2009/06/30
        - documentation updates
                - added SMS to list of parsers in documentation
                - updated sync notes for Fedora 9 and 10 in documentation
                - removed Martin Owens' PPA binary package link, since
                        I can't find the binaries anymore
        - reverted commit 2d0e60d1: put hal fdi files back
        - updated HAL FDI files for Fedora 11
                - duplicated directory hierarchy under hal
                - added 19-blackberry-acl.fdi to add the access_control
                        capability to blackberry devices when they are
                        plugged in.  As long as this file is under
                        the 10osvendor directory, then
                        20-acl-management.fdi runs after it, adding
                        the hal-acl-tool callout, which does the low
                        level getfacl/setfacl work on the /dev/bus/usb/*/*
                        device file.
                related thread:
        http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2009-June/000247.html
        - changed hal fdi policy to use "pda" instead of "scanner"
        - applied Ryan Li's 7-bit GSM conversion patch for SMS records
        - applied Ryan Li's barrybackup patch: can now select backup path
2009/06/26
        - fixed install location of hal fdi files in debian and rpm
                HAL reserves /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop
                for files that the project itself distributes, so
                we get to use 20thirdparty.
2009/06/24
        - cleaning up autoconf warnings on Fedora 11
        - changed buildgen.sh to run libtoolize first for all subprojects,
                otherwise, a later project's run may copy files into ../m4
                after having created configure for a previous project.
                This would cause a makefile discrepency during the build
                on some systems (Fedora 11), and cause configure to be
                incorrectly regenerated mid-build, due to timestamps.
2009/06/21
        - updated dependencies documentation page
2009/06/20
        - added BadPacket exception, for socket errors that need to meddle
                with the response code
        - added special case for JavaLoader's Goodbye packet
                On older devices, such as the 7750 and 7130, they respond
                with a NOT_SUPPORTED error instead of an ACK, for Goodbye
                packet commands.  This is seen in Windows traffic as well,
                so should not be considered an error.  Thanks to Josh Kropf
                for confirming this protocol behaviour.
        - updated socket.cc to use new BadPacket exception where appropriate
        - pulled from Josh Kropf: 0f1cca2fa69d0810d439ade4fb3dd0dfa15c89a6
                - fixed size issue with deviceinfo command on 7130 devices

        - reworked autoconf rules to handle every kind of Boost dependency:
                - let user enable/disable from configure, default to
                        disable, but error if enabled and not available
                - let user specify separate include and lib paths, since
                        some Boost installations have an additional
                        boost-1.34.1 style directory in them
                        - default to no path overrides, using system defaults
                - let user specify name of serialization library, since
                        the name of the library can change whether you're
                        building from source or not
                        - default to searching for boost_serialization or
                                boost_serialization-mt, and error if not found
                - New configure switches are:
                  --enable-boost                   Handles enable/disable
                  --with-boost-include=path        Override the include path
                  --with-boost-lib=path            Override the lib path
                  --with-boost-serialization=name  Override the name of
                                                   serialization library
                                                   to link with
        - updated documentation, build test, and binary packages to use
                new switches
2009/06/18
        - added non-backward-compatibility note to man/btool.1
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's LDIF patches, clarifying split
                between work and home addresses, and adding support
                for the homePostalAddress LDAP field

                Nathanael Noblet for reporting this.
        - applied Ryan Li's PPP chat script for China Mobile
        - added barry-chinamobile chat script to RPM and Debian packages
        - renamed blacklist-berry_charge to blacklist-berry_charge.conf
                for Debian sid and Fedora 11.  Thanks to Rodrigo Linfati
                for reporting.
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's autoconf patch to automatically
                search for boost_serialization or boost_serialization-mt
2009/05/12
        - applied Dr. J A Gow's category patches (task + memo)
                - fixed compile error when using Boost
                - cleaned up Categories handling:
                        - s11n-boost.h
                        - Dump() should be consistent across Calendar, Memo, Task
                        - fixed i18n support to category names
                - cleaned up code formatting to match surrounding code
        - moved CategoryList to its own class, and removed duplicated
                string conversion code
        - removed protocol-specific MemoType and TaskType fields from
                their corresponding record classes

                and Bookmark documentation patch
2009/05/08
        - applied most of Dr. J A Gow's recurring iCal sync patch
                - did not include the pure upper case changes, since
                  it is an RFC bug in SynCE
                  see http://www.mail-archive.com/barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01109.html
                - added starttime to RecurToBarryCal() args, to make the
                  prerequisites clear (StartTime must be determined before
                  recurrence is parsed)
                - added check that COUNT is not zero (RFC requirement)
                - fixed timezone drift: using gmtime() + mktime() uses two
                  different timezones... use localtime() + mktime()  instead
                - comment resizing
                - reformatted if/else FREQ tests into a more readable
                  sequence, and fixed a logic error in the yearly count
                  advance, which should only happen when FREQ == YEARLY

                - added and tidied comments
                - made CallLog::Clear() match the class declaration order,
                  fixed missing member, and used enum names to set
                  enum defaults

                - fixed "VTOTO" typo
                - now that there's a Desktop::ClearDatabase() call,
                  use it in SaveDatabase() to reduce code duplication
                - use separate vector<> clearDbNames in btool
                  to eliminate chance of mixing -d and -a argument
                  types and losing data
                - reverted VNOTE change in vformat.c
                - added VFORMAT_JOURNAL support to vformat.c based on
                  r2795 of the opensync vformat plugin

2009/05/01
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's zsh patch
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's memo sync patch
                - added MEMO_TYPE 'm' to built memo record
        - updated btool to include new Memo builder
        - updated config.rpath to latest from Debian stable
2009/04/27
        - removed free() in tarfile.cc, since some distros have bugs in
                th_get_pathname() that doesn't return a freeable string

                added "reset to factory" command to bjavaloader
        - split creation of deb src tarballs into separate script
                instead of tar-create.sh
        - added more statements for the m4/ directory in configure.ac
                and Makefile.am, attempting to eliminate build warnings
                on FC10, as reported by Christopher Stover

        - applied opensync Photo support patches from Nicolas Vivien
        - renamed SequencePacket() to HideSequencePacket() for clarity
                This is a temporary measure... this sequence packet
                code needs to be cleaned up.
        - added Photo support to examples/addcontact.cc
        - removed try/catch from vcard/vevent, pending feedback from Nicolas

        - added endpoint override to Probe class while testing the 7130
                When using btool's -e option, the Probe class still
                attempted to probe endpoints as it saw fit.
2009/04/02
        - fixed double-free bug in opensync 0.4x plugin

        - updated buildgen.sh to handle ctags for multiple opensyncs
        - fixed inverted logic when doing a hashtable slowsync (opensync 0.4x)
        - fixed uninitialized osync_trace args in both vformat.c files
2009/04/01
        - opensync 0.4x changes due to upstream API updates

                        uid mapping and hashtables respectively
2009/03/31
        - opensync 0.4x changes due to upstream API updates

2009/03/27
        - changed PIN format from decimal to hex in opensync-0.4x plugin
                config
        - added special case so photo data does not print raw in btool dumps
        - fixed call to trace.logf() in plugin code... should never call
                a printf-like function unless you use a constant "%s"
        - made opensync-0.4x:vformat.c's base64 routines const-correct
        - fixed free()-crash bug in both vformat.c files
                When generating the resulting VCARD data, vformat.c assigned
                static strings to a dynamic heap list pointer, and the
                later free always failed.

        - pulled from Josh Kropf: 7ed1df560ea7cc6a2205d8f8627c00c7aaed2294
                added wipe support to bjavaloader
        - added confirmation step to bjavaloader wipe, so it is harder to
                accidentally wipe your device
        - applied zsh patch from Nicolas Vivien for bjavaloader wipe
2009/03
        - changes inspired from Rick Scott's XmBlackberry

2009/03/05
        - pulled from Josh Kropf: b3d3a6f48fe008e8842c057df4a653a04b9c56ce
                - compile fix when using __DEBUG_MODE__
                - fixed timeout when calling JavaLoader::GetDir on device
                        with zero modules
2009/03/04
        - fixed embarrassing incorrect exception messages in usbwrap.cc
                Fortunately, these didn't affect my timeout testing.
        - added Data::QuickZap(), so that usb read errors don't
                return old data
        - inlined Data::QuickZap()
        - added usb_set_altinterface() call to Interface class
                This should hopefully workaround the change in 2.6.28
                kernels where set_interface is not called by the kernel
                automatically anymore.
2009/03/03

                        - applied Nicolas Vivien's opensync-0.4x
                          Calendar+Contact patch

2009/02/19
        - pulled from Josh Kropf: 9b63a99867b3314b8d42212cac05a6f28860d37b
                - saving large modules in pkzip format
                - cleaned up StartStream function; use JLPacket instance
                - refactored SendStream; use JLPacket instance and use simple
                        function for seeking to next cod file in input stream
        - made following changes to Josh Kropf's patches
                - Added CODFILE_TYPE_SIMPLE check back in
                - Minor change of c_str() to data() where a null terminator
                        is not needed
                - Fixed unlikely buffer overflow in m_javaloader.cc
                        Goal: never trust outside sources of
                        information (including that from the device) when
                        managing our own buffers.
                - Removed CodFile forward declaration, since class does not
                        exist anymore
                - Fixed typo in configure.ac, and made missing zlib warning
                        more emphatic
                - Added clarifying comment to CodFileBuilder
                - Fixed potential reference bug in CodFileBuilder constructor
                        It is possible that the const std::string& passed
                        into the constructor is a temporary, so make a copy
                        of it instead of just holding a reference.
                - Removed multi-unget call in cod.cc -- only one unget() is
                        guaranteed in C++.  It appears that the unget is
                        unnecessary, since the following code seeks to end
                        and back to beginning anyway.
                - Added copyright line for Josh Kropf in cod.cc and
                        cod-internal.h
                - Fixed incorrect zlib check, since zlib doesn't support
                        pkg-config on most systems yet.  Changed it to
                        use AC_CHECK_LIB, and added a --with-zlib configure
                        option which will cause configure to halt if
                        zlib is not available.  Added --with-zlib to
                        binary package builds, and to build test script.
        - added zlib to rpm and deb build requirements list
2009/02/18
        - updated USB capture logs archive page with new logs from Josh Kropf
        - applied as patch Josh Kropf's annotated javaloader-reset.txt log

                device requests a reset
2009/02/15
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's RecordId patch for Contact class...
                this updates Barry to deal with the new record ID behaviour
                on the Storm
2009/02/13
        - removed unneeded call to .c_str() in EmailAddress stream operator
        - added support for Calendar fields: Organizer, Accepted, Invited

                and added a specific rules file for openSUSE 11.1
        - updated Debian and RPM binary scripts to point to correct udev files
2009/02/07
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's patch to fix the timeout issue on the
                Blackberry Storm
2009/02/04
        - applied Josh Kropf's save module patch
                - minor whitespace fixes
                - removed unneeded exception (fstream closes files
                  automatically on exit of scope, or exception)
                - fixed compile error with variable sized array...
                  replaced with std::vector<> instead of memcpy,
                  in JavaLoader::SaveData()
                - commented out an unused variable
2009/02/03
        - commented out AT+CREG? in barry-rogers.chat, since it causes some
                Blackberry devices to reboot
        - applied Josh Kropf's eventlog and clear eventlog patches
                - capitalized JLEventlogEntry fields, to match other
                  record classes
                - use constant when parsing entry
                - renamed a define
        - sweeping cleanup of record classes and clarified all constant
                conversions i.e. whenever converting between a protocol
                constant and an API constant, do it through a function,
                in case the constants change on the Blackberry side
2009/01/31
        - applied patch of binary VSM file from Robert Yaklin
2009/01/30
        - moved Nicolas Vivien's codfile code into library class API
                - this change avoids having packed structs exposed in
                  installable header files, and gives the library
                  user an easy way to work with COD files
                - added CodFile class
                - added JavaLoader::LoadApp(CodFile&)
                - cleaned up bjavaloader to use new API
                - moved codfile_*_t structs to internal header
                - also fixed command line status output when exceptions
                  are caught (unrelated fix)
        - added / updated manpages: bfuse, bjavaloader, btool
        - added fuse to build dependencies for rpm and deb packages
        - updated web docs, adding libfuse to dependencies page
                - added libiconv as well
2009/01/29
        - applied screenshot and zsh patch from Nicolas Vivien
          His git log, as posted to the mailing list, was:
                Remove bscreenshot binary
                Add screenshot option to bjavaloader binary
                Add comments in the code
                Use defines beside of integer constant
                Use b2hons to be compliant with evrywhat host
                ZSH scripts completion
                Use BMP structs beside of unreadable buffer !
          His changelog notes:
                - add command GetScreenShot to JLPacket class
                - add JLScreenInfo to protocol structures
        - updated AUTHORS
        - minor tweaks to Nicolas's screenshot+zsh patch:
                - renamed DIR_ENTRY and SS_ENTRY to DATA_ENTRY constant
                  as suggested by comments
                - fixed some packet size checks
                - whitespace fixes
                - removed unneeded packet.GetReceive(), since response
                  buffer is the same as what GetReceive() returns
                - used AutoClose for fopen() calls in bjavaloader.cc
                  for exception safety
                - removed manual buffer handling in favour of Data object
                  in JavaLoader::GetScreenshot()
        - removed "unknown packet" exception from Socket::PacketData()
                I think it is probably better to handle javaloader-level
                errors and codes in the JavaLoader class, not the low-
                level Socket class.
        - added erase and force erase support to bjavaloader, library, and zsh
                - force erase is experimental
        - applied documentation patch from Robert Yaklin on VSM file format
                - did slight formatting changes before applying, for 80
                  columns, and set file to unix format instead of DOS
        - added links to new USB capture logs from Robert Yaklin to
                logs.php doc page
        - cleaned up src/Makefile.am, regarding non-install headers
        - moved Nicolas Vivien's bitmap conversion code into library API
                - added bmp.h api, and moved internal structs to bmp-internal.h
                - added size checks and endian conversion to bitmap
                  conversion code, so this code should run anywhere
2009/01/27
        - added link Josh Kropf's 'Blackberry development in linux' blog
                post to doc/www/index.php
        - added USB capture log archive page to www docs
        - added config.rpath, needed by new AM_ICONV check
                Thanks to Bill Paul for debugging this.
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's opensync plugin 0.4x patch
2009/01/26
        - added template wrapper for iconv() due to casting differences on
                various platforms... thanks to Bill Paul for FreeBSD testing
        - added AM_ICONV automake/autoconf check to configure.ac
                This should take care of checking for libc or library
                iconv installs, and checking the iconv() prototype for whether
                const is needed or not.  This removes the need for the
                template added earlier.
2009/01/25
        - applied patch from Josh Kropf making bjavaloader's syntax more
                compatible with the windows version, to make cross
                platform build scripts possible
        - applied Josh Kropf's settime syntax patch
        - clarified timezone behaviour in javaloader settime
        - added flag to JavaLoader mode class, so StopStream() is called
                automatically in the destructor if not called manually
2009/01/24
        - added another ctor to BadSize exception class
        - fixed bug in SocketZero where it checked sequence on packets
                from non-zero sockets
        - javaloader list mode updates:
                - added Dump() code to directory classes
                - fixed size issue with JLDirEntry header size define
                - fixed size checks in entry parser
                - fixed copy before in JLDirectory, now uses vector
                - moved bjavaloader's Start/StopStream calls to main()
2009/01/23
        - removed default argument to CheckSize() so all code specifies
                the size it really needs
        - fixed bug in ParseData() that didn't copy data to receive arg
        - adding additional javaloader commands and refactoring
                this is a work in progress:
                - added JLPacket class, encapsulating javaloader protocol
                - added new defines for more JL commands
                - refactored socket class, using PacketData()
                        for JL, and Packet() for Desktop (still needs
                        some work to be really clean)
                - began implementing new commands (SetTime())
                - thanks to Rick Scott for his reverse engineering effort
                        in XmBlackBerry, which inspired this code
        - refactored packet.cc to make JLPacket even tighter
        - updated doc/USB-capture.txt with link to vusb-analyzer
                Thanks to Martin Owens for the link.
        - added a set of be_*() endian swap functions, for big endian data
                JavaLoader code seems to use big endian a lot.
        - simplified bjavaloader.cc's command line args to make room for more
        - cleaned up big endian code to use new be_* swap macros
        - added protocol and packet code for directory / subdir commands
        - added preliminary directory support to JavaLoader class
2009/01/22
        - reverted experimental handshaking in IpModem, since the session_key
                patch fixed Bill Paul's issue
        - finished adding IConverter support to r_task and r_timezone
        - removed r_message_base.h from doxygen RecordParserClasses group
        - removed unused ClassType variable from Task record class
        - refactored Calendar and Task record classes, creating new
                RecurBase to handle recurrence data
        - removed FIXME in Socket::Packet(), since socket is set in Send()
        - cleaned up socket handling and comments in packet.cc
2009/01/20
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's javaloader patch, fixing constant defines
                and other small fixes
        - minor whitespace and spelling fixes to above patch
        - changed m_ipmodem.cc to send the session key even without password
                which should help reduce the "special packets" coming from
                the device.
                Thanks to Rick Scott and Andy Herkey.
2009/01/17
        - refactored pthread timeout creation into ThreadTimeout() function
        - added experimental handshaking to IpModem.  This is in response
                to Bill Paul's email regarding what he was seeing in the
                logs with the special code packets which we dropped
                on the floor.  This code is to test whether this handshaking
                theory is true.
2009/01/16
        - made maintainer script make-deb-local.sh more robust
        - added list of target binary packages in ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - changed to more general Fedora link to Chris Stover's packages
2009/01/15
        - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch for the Bold
        - minor fixes to above patch, and in addition to above patch:
                - use sizeof(seed), instead of type, in case of future changes
                - removed commented out code
                - added the null password check back to SendPassword(),
                  for historical reasons
                - removed the null and zero default arguments to
                  SendPassword(), since they make no sense
                - added define for session key size, and added size check
        - added missing string.h header to src/m_javaloader.cc
        - updated Debian and RPM packages to include bjavaloader
2009/01/14
        - applied Nicolas Vivien's bjavaloader patch
        - small fixups to above patch:
                - moved cod.h from installable headers to internal headers
                - whitespace edits
                - copyright statement tweaks
                - added blog URLs to copyright list in cod.h where parts
                        of the structs appear to come from
                - removed unused variables to compile with strict settings
                - changed char to unsigned char to fix strict compiler
                        warnings
                - removed duplicated a/b from Socket messages, and moved
                        read/write text to front, in socket.cc
                - added NetDirect copyright notice to bjavaloader.cc, since
                        it is based on btool.cc
                - removed unused boost-specific code from bjavaloader.cc
        - more fixes to above patch: (bjavaloader.cc specifically)
                - moved cod.h back to installable headers, since tools/
                        programs depend on it... this should be fixed
                        or put in the library as a COD-reading API
                        so that applications don't need to worry about
                        packed files, etc.
                - fixed potential buffer overflow: removed buffer read used
                        to skip ahead in file, and replaced with fseek()
                - changed SendAppFile() to report errors by exception
                        instead of by return value, which wasn't checked
                        anyway... and C++'d the file handle closing
                - removed unused StateTableCommand, leftover from btool
                - added check for unlikely case of COD file being larger
                        than size_t, breaking the fread() assumption
                        for the type == 0xC0DE case
                - added checks for fread() failures
                - fixed compiler warnings when comparing signed/unsigned,
                        and changed file operation types from plain int
                        to size_t/off_t
        - changes to src/m_javaloader.cc:
                - fixed comments to remove Desktop-oriented notes
                - moved variables closer to their use point
                - removed the duplicated response Data objects in favour
                        of just one (each default Data object uses 0x4000
                        bytes of heap)
                - removed manual endian swap in favour of htobl()
                        - oops... this size field is actually big endian.
                          Since all Barry code assumes that Blackberry
                          protocol traffic is little endian, a special
                          case needs to be added in m_javaloader.cc for
                          this field.  The special case uses autoconf's
                          endian define.
                        - fixed long long problem in endian.h (ISO C++
                          compilers don't support long long) and made
                          the bswap() functions always available
                - removed unused CommandType and m_commandTable members
                - fixed exception error messages to indicate command #
                        instead of Desktop message
                - changed Packet() call to PacketData() when sending
                        file size, since there is no command
        - added eout() data dump to socket::Packet() unknown send error
        - fixed my incorrect off_t/size_t check in bjavaloader.cc
        - removed the '0' JL_UNKNOWN4 command from src/protocol.h,
                since the PacketData() change above now handles that,
                and I don't think that byte is actually a command, but
                really part of the uint32_t size
                - Also fixed one remaining 0 command, to use PacketData()
2009/01/09
        - added AT+CLAC note to contrib/modemtest.rb, recording tidbit
                from mailing list
        - updated copyright dates for 2009
2008/12/11
        - fixed missing slash in config sample in doc/www/sync.php
                Thanks to sourceforge tracker #2413683 for reporting
2008/12/01
        - added more notes to doc/USB-capture.txt, documenting my kernel
                setup for capturing USB traffic, and added size-limiting
                kernel patch
        - added TODO list item for the Blackberry Storm
2008/11/30
        - moved Product ID constants into a single place (src/common.h)
                and updated bcharge
        - added Product ID 8007 for the Blackberry Storm... needs testing
2008/11/27
        - applied ppp chat script patch for AT&T Cingular from
                Richard Esplin
        - added new chat scripts to debian and rpm packages
        - added known sources of additional Barry binary packages to index.php
        - turned on call/caller graph support in Doxygen output
2008/11/23
        - applied 'patch' of Martin Owens' Content Store documentation
        - updated AUTHORS
2008/11/22
        - large refactoring of all message/email record classes, and more
                There is now a MessageBase base class, which combines
                common email record parsing code in one class.  This base
                class is reused by all the specific messages record classes.
                This commit also includes support for multiple email
                addresses per email, as well as giving IConverter support
                to all message classes.
        - deleted empty *.cc files from project
        - updated TODO file, removing opensync i18n bug
        - added TODO item for password support in Opensync... try to avoid
                storing the password in the sync config in plain text
        - fixed dll export bug on ErrnoError exception class
        - added BadPackedFormat exception for internal use
        - ServiceBook: added IConverter support, and general cleanup
                Refactored ServiceBook class and added some experimental
                template functions to generalize the FieldLink table
                processing.  If possible, this needs to be expanded
                to the general record classes, to reduce the amount of
                code duplication during processing of FieldLinks and
                CommonField structures.
                Also, ServiceBook deals with packed fields, which should
                also be extrapolated for general use, and reused if
                possible for the new "Calendar - All" Blackberry databases
                that are coming out on the new devices and firmare.
2008/11/21
        - updated man/btool.1 with new -i option
        - fixed bug where opensync plugin didn't pass IConverter to Desktop
        - added IConverter support to r_calendar.cc
        - renamed utf8Needed to iconvNeeded, for consistency
        - added IConverter support to r_folder.cc
        - added IConverter support to r_memo.cc
        - added IConverter support to r_message.cc
        - added EmailAddressList, in preparation for multi-address email
2008/11/20
        - changed Parser base class to pure abstract... this is so that
                future API changes to the Parse base class will be
                detected by the compiler as errors
        - added NullParser class, which performs the old Parser function
        - changed all FieldLink arrays to static
        - added new IConverter class to support converting the Blackberry's
                WINDOWS-1252 charset to/from UTF-8 and more
        - fixed bug in IConverter that saved end of string instead of
                beginning
        - reorganized barry.h app header and record.h header, so that
                internal builds have fewer dependencies
        - large parser/builder API change, adding IConverter support
                This change starts at the top (Mode::Desktop) which
                takes an optional IConverter object for parsing and
                building conversions.  The Desktop class passes
                this IConverter object to Packet, Parser, and Builder (and
                thereby, the corresponding Record classes) as needed.
                This adds an extra pointer to a fair number of calls
                in the stack, but maintains flexibility without putting
                too much of a burden on Parser writers, which could be
                application writers.
                The primary use of this architecture is to pass in an
                IConverter configured to convert to UTF-8... this is
                basically the only useful conversion method, but others
                are possible if you want to play.
        - first record class to support string conversions: Contact
        - reverted the barry.h and record.h reorganization, since
                the gui depends on it
        - reorganized barry.h and record.h again, making inclusion of
                the record headers dependent on whether it is a library
                build or not

2008/10/31
        - commented out the info.subsystem match level in HAL FDI file...
                this should let the FDI work on old and new systems.
                HAL version 0.5.8 (used by Debian Etch) has the deprecated
                info.bus property, and doesn't have info.subsystem yet.

                - This fix has a conflict when a cell phone number is
                        marked as the preferred contact as well.
                        See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=20081030231045.GA28989%40foursquare.net
                        for the full details.
                - This fix also changes the VCARD output... pager phone
                        numbers are given the TYPE code of "pager"
                        instead of "msg".

                Stokes, since his provider was getting stuck on the ATZ
2008/10/16
        - applied Andy Herkey's modemtest.rb ruby script to contrib/
                from his Aug 9, 2008 email to the mailing list

        - clarified front page www doc, adding date of last release
                and license
        - cherry-picked changes from Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo's debian git repo
                - debian/rules was stripping wrong library names
                - FSF address was incorrect (also updated other source
                        files throughout the tree myself)
                - more complete debian/copyright file
2008/09/24
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2008/09/24

                official Debian packages which start at 0.14-1
        - moved Doxyfile from src/Makefile.am to Makefile.am
        - made RPM spec file match debian version number
        - www documentation updates for 0.14
2008/09/19

2008/09/13
        - added notes in ReleaseChecklist.txt regarding the new tarball
                tags in the git repos
2008/09/12
        - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - moving items from private todo list to TODO file
        - removed unused variable from maintainer/git-release-tar.sh
        - added new maintainer/git-tagged-tar.sh, which puts more data
                in the git repo, to make it easier for official Debian
                package creation
        - moved src/Doxyfile to ./Doxyfile to avoid ".." in the config...
                the ".." paths confused doxygen and caused it to generate
                non-relative paths in the documentation.
        - added umask to maintainer/git-extract.sh, so it works even without
                a pre-configured git
        - updated maintainer/tar-prepare.sh to match the new Doxyfile
        - added maintainer/tagged-release.sh, as replacement for the
                release.sh top level script, when using git
        - removed CVS-style ID code from contrib/barry-unbind-storage.sh
                since it made it look like cdfrey wrote it
        - removed doc/CodingStyle.txt as it is now documented in html
2008/08/29
        - added device name and backup label support to the GUI
                It is now possible to name devices, instead of just
                operating by PIN number, and it is possible to now
                add a text label to the backup tar filenames.
        - added the device names to the device selection dialog
2008/08/26

                git://git.debian.org/git/users/jsogo/barry.git
                - Add binary dependency of libbarry-dev on libusb-dev
                - Rename libbarry to libbarry0, per debian policy
                - Add exact dependency on binary:Version for every
                        -dbg and -dev package
                - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0
        - updated AUTHORS
        - clarified barrybackup error message when no records available
                Added a check so that "no databases selected" and
                "no records available" are two distinct error messages.
2008/08/21
        - applied ppp chat script patch from Mick Reed
        - updated RPM and Debian packages with new tmobileus ppp scripts
        - added T-Mobile US to web documentation
        - updated AUTHORS
        - clarified sync docs regarding slow-sync... avoid it if possible
        - tuned doxygen config, and moved generated files to doc/www/doxygen
        - added git-release-tar.sh, replacing CVS's make-release-tar.sh
                Also added doxygen to the release tarball creation, so
                the source code's doxygen documentation is automatically
                generated upon release.
        - split git-release-tar.sh into reusable component scripts
2008/08/14
        - added exception handler for invalid command line options in GUI

        - added distro section to AUTHORS
        - fixed comment and whitespace problems in time.{h,cc}
        - Converted Birthday from string to Date, and added Anniversary
                support.  Birthday and Anniversary fields now use a new
                Date struct, and Barry validates the data to some extent.
                - updated example code and opensync plugin to match
        - applied Lee Dixon's Location and Description plugin patch,
                with minor whitespace edits
2008/08/12
        - added Birthday field to examples/addcontact.cc for testing
2008/08/11
        - applied Lee Dixon's Birthday field and opensync patch
                - fixed coding format issues
        - updated AUTHORS
2008/08/07
        - fixed bug in m_ipmodem.cc that included a null terminator in
                first AT command
        - fixed RFC 2426 conformance bug...  RFC 2426, 3.1.1 states that FN
                MUST be present in the vcard object.  If there is no name
                available, then we use the Company name if available.  It
                should be, since the Blackberry requires either name or Company
                in order to create a new address.  If Company is blank too, then
                we insert "(Blank Name)".
                - On the flip side of this same bug, it is possible to receive
                        non-conformant vcard data from evolution / opensync
                        that does not include FN.  Since the Blackberry
                        doesn't require this information, remove the
                        exception, and only throw an exception if FN
                        or Company are both blank.
                - REVERT: removed the Company and "(Blank Name)" workarounds,
                        and just produce an invalid vcard if no full name,
                        since with multiple syncing, this will come back
                        to bite us with duplicated Company name data
        - added sanity check to contact class for blank name and company
        - added BadData exception class, and documented it
2008/08/06
        - fixed bug in vAttr::GetValue that ignored index for single valued
                attributes... this should fix the endless loop / memory
                exhaustion that some people have been seeing
                Thanks to Lee Dixon for reporting this bug in detail!
        - added TODO list item for implementing recurring calendar items
2008/08/01
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
                - src/Doxyfile
                - rpm/barry.spec
                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
        - updated web docs showing how to set the password when using modem
        - added section to docs on how to test the modem connection

                - added -j option to make to speed builds
                - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
                        clean up after itself
                - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
        - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
                David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
                Thanks David!  'make distcheck' now works, but only in
                an environment like buildtest.sh creates.

        - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
        - added mozilla's sha1 code from git

                Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that

                potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
                the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
                mozilla implementation which is GPL.

2008/05/23
        - added ppp/README
        - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,
                enabled "usepeerdns" in both, and disabled the speed
                setting in barry-verizon
        - updates to website documentation
                - added FC9 to distro list
                - added page for BarryBackup
                - added page for USB modem / pppob
2008/05/22
        - added sample ppp options files for Verizon Blackberries
                Sample files from Michael L. Stokes
        - updated AUTHORS
        - renamed sample ppp peer files, in preparation for installing
                them automatically in binary packages
        - modified verizon options file to use pppob
        - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
2008/05/16
        - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
                function, which now localizes all sequence packet
                handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
                order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
                such as with pppob...
                FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
                the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
                should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
        - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
                order (no code change, only move)
        - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
                possible to determine whether a program is using
                threaded or non-threaded sockets
        - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
                the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
                and updated the man page
        - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
        - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
                pppd is killed
2008/05/15
        - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
        - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
        - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
                empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
                copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
        - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
                IpModem endpoints are available
        - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
                modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
        - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
        - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
                which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
                and uses PppFilter
        - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
                to file instead of stderr
        - added man page for pppob
2008/05/10
        - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
                so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
2008/05/09
        - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
                0.13 release
2008/05/02
        - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
                distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
                the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
                I'm looking at you...)
        - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
                if no command line arguments are specified
        - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
                ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
2008/05/01
        - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
        - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
                in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
                have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
        - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
        - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
                so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
                like a null terminated string... also added more
                BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
        - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
        - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
                it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
        - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
                on database records, for testing
        - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
        - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
                which completes builder support
                Checksums from the following commands now match:
                        brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
                        btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
                        btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
                        brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
                        diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
2008/04/29
        - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
                work again... Thanks!
        - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
        - updated AUTHORS
2008/04/26
        - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
                asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
                goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
2008/04/25
        - updated NEWS file
        - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
                to Controller
2008/04/25
        - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
          The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

        2008/04/25
                - added thread-safe logging mechanism
                - added preliminary IP modem support... requires a recent
                        device... serial mode is not yet supported
                - merged HEAD changes
        2008/03/27
                - changed Barry::Init() so programmer can choose where
                        debug and exception information goes, instead of
                        always to stdout
        2008/03/22
                - merged HEAD changes
        2008/03/20
                - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
                        number in ProbeResult
                - also added ProbeResult constructor
                - merged changes from visibility branch:
                        - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
                          visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
                          a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
                          avoid future name clashes with other libraries such
                          as opensync
                          See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

                - controller object now saves a copy of the probe result
                        and provides an API to retrieve it
                - added sanity checks to m_serial.cc
                - fixed probe behaviour so that a USB probe on an endpoint
                        that doesn't respond won't halt everything
                - refactored some of the probe code, and added checks for
                        IP modem endpoints
                - added Probe::DumpAll()
                - added Open() call to pppob.cc (not yet complete)
        2008/01/30

                - changed free list copy in router.cc to use
                        DataQueue::append_from()
                - finished packet.{h,cc} implementation, ready for testing
                - finished controller.{h,cc}, ready for testing
                - finished m_desktop.{h,cc}, ready for testing

                - moved Raw Send/Receive socket functions to private
                - fixed packet header size bug in socket that caused
                        socket ID override to be skipped
                - fixed incorrect use of gettimeofday()
                - fixed race condition where Controller could destroy
                        the Usb::Device object before the SocketRoutingQueue
                        was done with it
                - fixed segfault in SocketZero::RawSend() when a router
                        was in use
                - fixed Open() bugs in btool... Open() must be outside of loops
                - btool uses the router thread now, for testing
                - partially implemented m_serial.{h,cc}... needs testing
                - added automatic buffer allocation to SocketRoutingQueue
                        constructor
                - made AllocateBuffers() a little smarter, so it was not
                        pure appending
                - added a context data pointer to the SocketRoutingQueue
                        RegisterInterest callback
                - added RegisterInterest functionality to Socket class
                - added exceptions on router read errors in socketzero
        2008/01/26

                - more router implementation
                - simplified pppob
                - audit and cleanup of socket.{h,cc} code... looks ready
                        for testing now, once things compile again
                - removed FIXME in router.*
                - removed pthread header from pppob as it is not needed
        2007/11/22
                - merged HEAD changes
        2007/10/25
                - merged HEAD changes
        2007/10/19
                - branch started, to track development of the new socket
                        architecture, and new mode architecture, needed
                        to support GPRS modem support, and threaded
                        USB access
                - committed work-in-progress... does not compile

2008/04/10
        - added Tasks and Memos to TODO list
2008/03/27

        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
                - src/Doxyfile
                - rpm/barry.spec
                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
        - added GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are visible
                in the shared library, libbarry... this makes a drastic
                reduction in the symbol table, and should avoid future
                name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
                See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2008/03/21
        - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
                to avoid the CVS directories
        - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
                diff.gz and dsc files
        - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
        - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
                scripts
2008/03/13
        - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
                copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
                real opensync libraries
2008/03/07
        - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
                building RPM's from CVS
        - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
                in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
                on ./configure command line
2008/03/06
        - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
                so that the database name is stored as the first line
                of the file
        - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
                written by btool
        - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
        - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
2008/03/01
        - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
        - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
2008/02/29
        - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
                Paul Dugas for the tip
2008/02/28
        - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
        - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
                tar.bz2/tar.gz change
        - updated AUTHORS file
2008/02/22
        - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
                it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
                instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
                should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
        - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
        - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
                --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
                Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.

                <recordclass>::GetDBName()
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
                - src/Doxygen
                - rpm/barry.spec
                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
        - updated TODO

Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/12/01
        - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
        - added pause to maintainer release script
2007/11/30
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc

                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc

Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/11/30
        - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
                search by busname / devname
        - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
                Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
        - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
                bus/device names, and updated the man page
        - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
                behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
                concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
        - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
        - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
                spec file for opensuse
2007/11/29
        - added better error checking to breset
        - commented the sleep() for the 8830
        - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
                claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
                by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
                the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
                possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
                to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
                is loaded!
        - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
                exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
                log the error in an internal array and keep going.
                This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
                with two devices plugged in at the same time.
                BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
                        behaviour, but in practice, it should only
                        make applications look more capable, not less.
        - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
        - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
        - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
                they are so verbose
2007/11/27
        - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
                before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
                to need this
2007/11/23
        - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
        - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
                we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
                to call it if unnecessary.  This allows us to run
                at the same time as usb_storage.
                Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
        - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
                Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
                it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
                in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
                to reset it back to 0006.  The sleep allows the device
                to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
                fail naturally on these devices.
                This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
2007/11/09
        - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
                suggestion.  Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
                suggestion.
        - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
                Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
        - AUTHORS update
        - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
                opensync plugin
        - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
        - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
        - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
                that release package builds can be done faster
2007/10/26
        - opensync plugin fixes:
                - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
                - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
                        and keep track of the hierarchy when
                        parsing an iCalendar, etc.
                - added support for searching for attributes only
                        inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
                        DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
2007/10/25
        - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
                member variables, leaving them uninitialized
        - added examples/addcalendar.cc
        - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
                ToBarry conversion results
        - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
                mktime, in vformat.c
                - fixed typo in previous fix
2007/10/12
        - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
                file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
                Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
                - src/Doxygen
                - rpm/barry.spec
                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
        - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
                the opensync plugin
                Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
        - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
        - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
                source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.

Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/09/29
        - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
                information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
                See bcharge.cc for comments.  If device/power/level or
                device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
                without recompiling the kernel.
        - updated website docs with autosuspend info
2007/09/27
        - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
                information in README files to html format, so that it
                is commonly available on the web
        - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
                .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
2007/09/22
        - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
                but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
                needed.... hmmmm
2007/09/21
        - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
        - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
                with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
                it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
                using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
        - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
        - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
        - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
        - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
                explanatory document for various system requirements
        - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
2007/09/20
        - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
        - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
                for opensuse rpm builds
2007/09/13
        - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
                automated opensuse 10.2 builds
                - fixed build target to i386
                - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
                        of overwriting it
2007/09/07
        - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
                moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
                will be updated more frequently
2007/09/05
        - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
                of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
                configure scripts to support external build directories
        - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
                the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
        - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
        - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
        - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
                maintainer script
2007/08/24
        - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
                parse the comma separated string into an array,
                and back
                Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
                        and will affect backward compatibility with
                        old serialization datafiles
        - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
        - added Category support to the opensync plugin
2007/08/23
        - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
        - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
                to throw it on error
        - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
                connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
                that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
        - fixed in opensync plugin:
                - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
                        so added lower case conversion routine
                - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
                        is the street, address2 is the extended address,
                        and address3 is the PO Box.  The Blackberry
                        doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
2007/08/20
        - added -e endpoint override option to btool
        - added status message to endpoint override
2007/08/18
        - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
                systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
                incorrectly.  Went a little paranoid here, since
                AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
                so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
                changes in the future... ugh.  See src/strnlen.h for
                the gory details.
        - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
                The description is now part of the probe results
                along with the PIN.  Updates to protocol.h, adding
                a new attribute definition.
                Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
                XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
        - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
        - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
        - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
                in order to better support SWIG and Python
2007/08/17
        - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
        - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
                settings automatically where possible
        - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
        - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
2007/08/16
        - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
                processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
                error.cc is now an empty shell
        - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
        - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
                Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
        - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
                case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
2007/08/09
        - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
        - version bump:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
                - src/Doxygen
                - rpm/barry.spec
                - debian/changelog
                - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
        - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
                that may fail under normal operation, in this case

Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/08/03
        - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
        - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
        - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
        - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
                Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
                devices
        - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
                - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
                - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
                        endian bug in the process)
                - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
        - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
        - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
        - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
        - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
        - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
        - opensync-plugin/README update
        - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
                testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
        - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
2007/08/01
        - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
2007/07/28
        - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
2007/07/27
        - opensync plugin:
                - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
                        for the broken-down name instead of N
                - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
                - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
                        and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
                - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
                        to single-change-commit.  Why?  Because opensync
                        0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
                        and calls one batch commit function, even if you
                        registered two.  Moving to single change commit
                        mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
                        from the plugin as well, and can in theory
                        ease memory pressure in the library.
                - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
                        syncing completion
                - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
                        since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
                        be updated until a disconnect occurs.
2007/07/26
        - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
                requiring a file
        - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
                This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
                to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
        - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
                - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
                        if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
                        record into the device.... First/Last Name
                        fields are position sensitive, and the code
                        was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
                - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
                        were not updated to handle the new field
                        table added for the postal address changes
                        on 2007/07/20, oops
        - opensync plugin:
                - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
                        turn debug output on/off without recompiling
                - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
                        the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
                        code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
                        UID strings, instead of just numbers
                - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
                        configure properly, it will fail... this is a
                        safety measure to avoid syncing with different
                        devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
                        this should be fixed someday, to handle this
                        automatically
                        On second thought... is this right?  Perhaps
                        it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
                        is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
                        sync the wrong device and lose data.
                        Actions to take on new PIN:
                                - force slow_sync, or
                                - fail
                - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
                        main barry_sync.cc plugin code
                - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
                        in the case where a sync only read data from it,
                        and didn't write
                - changed PIN error message number to hex
2007/07/20
        - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
                "Backup in progress..."
        - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
        - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
                strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
                and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
        - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
                is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
        - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
                a new class called PostalAddress
        - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
        - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
                new PostalAddress class and renamed it
                PostalAddress::GetLabel()
        - opensync plugin:
                - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
                        called vBase
                - added vCard converter class
                - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
                        of empty attribute values and parameters,
                        since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
                - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
                        an extra nth argument, in order to search
                        for multiple attributes with the same name...
                        the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
                        but we're moving away from vformat when we move
                        to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
                        pain
2007/07/19
        - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
                to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
                added by udev, when first plugged in.  Running bcharge
                back-to-back multiple times can crash some
                Blackberries.
2007/07/14
        - opensync plugin:
                - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
                        from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
                        new Barry ID would look like a new change
                        when syncing back from Barry -> external.
                - added support for slow sync
                - added clear() to idmap class
                - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
                - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
                - added Notification time support
                - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
                        does not exist in a vformat data block
        - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
                the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
                are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
        - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
                disabled timestamps, and added debug output
                for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
                special cases in the future
2007/07/13
        - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
2007/07/12
        - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
                and proceed with OpenSync 0.22.  Reverting the
                opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
2007/07/06
        - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
        - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
                library API that is not yet finished... will be
                committed to opensync svn tree when complete
        - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
2007/06/29
        - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
        - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
                the goal is to be able to do:
                        btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
                        mutt -f email.mbox
        - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
        - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
        - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
        - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
2007/06/28
        - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
        - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
                in configure.ac
        - added boost usage message to btool -h output
2007/06/21
        - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
        - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
2007/06/14
        - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
                like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
                in general use will not break on build
        - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
        - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
2007/06/08
        - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
                dependency
        - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
        - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
        - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
                SetIds() is already there
        - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
                and moved into record.h
        - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
                be more mbox-like
        - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
        - opensync compiles again, with 0.30!  (not functional yet)
                - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
        - updated release checklist for opensync version number
2007/06/07
        - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
2007/06/06
        - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
        - changes to PIN message patch:
                - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
                - fixed tab alignment throughout
                - removed typedef from Address struct
                - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
                        going to be a standalone type
                - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
                - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
                        uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
                        backing on a field for other use
        - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
                is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
                API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
                RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
                MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
                a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
                PIN Message so that we store both of these
        - updated AUTHORS
2007/05/27
        - added item to gui/TODO

                modified to split into the new separate files system
        - changes to memos and tasks classes:
                - reformatted the code to match coding style
                        (come on Brian) :-)
                - added copyright notice
                - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
                - placed in Barry namespace
                - added #ifdef header protectors
                - added new files to Makefile.am
                - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
        - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
                Brian Edginton's patch
                (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
        - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt

        - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
        - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
                - ClassFlag
                - FreeBusyFlag
                - Clear() fixes
        - fixed broken formatting in above patch
        - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
        - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
                linker errors with the new file layout
2007/05/17
        - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
                /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
        - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
        - backup gui:
                - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
                - changed the default for debug output to "off"
                        and added a command line option to turn
                        it on if necessary  (--debug-output)
                - command line option --help now also works
        - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
                RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
                code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
                localizing the constants in one place
2007/05/11
        - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
                fields in Contact and Calendar records
        - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS

                removed commented out code, and removed mention of
                Outlook from the comments.
        - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
        - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
        - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
                have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
        - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
                libbarry
                libbarry-dev
                barry-util
                barrybackup-gui
        - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
        - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
                small on Debian Etch
        - opensync plugin:
                - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
                        based on the example plugin in the opensync
                        svn tree...  this is a work in progress, and so far
                        is incomplete
2007/05/04
        - opensync plugin:
                - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
                - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
                        and then success afterward
        - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
        - added item to gui's todo list

                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
                - src/Doxygen
                - rpm/barry*.spec

                - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
                - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
                        if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
                        xml data format...
                - added development note to README
2007/04/29
        - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
                build instructions

                - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
2007/04/27
        - opensync module:
                - removed some unneeded trace logs
                - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
                        m_Data pointer
                - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
                        must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"

                - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
                - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
2007/04/26
        - opensync module work:
                - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
                        numeric ID's from the Blackberry
                - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
                        a hard coded calendar record state table
                - added lots of logging throughout
                - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
                        change object's uid, but created a new ID,
                        causing another sync on the next run
                        i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
                - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
                        written to the Blackberry
        - more opensync module work:
                - refactored the environment class into another subclass
                        called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
                        alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
                        the environment classes
                - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
                - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
2007/04/20
        - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
                file for the opensync module... and filled it with
                a sample configuration
        - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
                on success (opensync module)
        - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
        - allowed comments in the config file
        - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
                routines are not available from the plugin side
2007/04/19
        - updated gui/TODO
        - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
                changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
                only use idProduct, and updated man page
        - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
        - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
                pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
                of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
                in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
                and the old search didn't always work
        - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
                the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
        - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
        - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
                the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
        - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
        - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
        - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
                offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
                search at 0
        - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
                using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
                the vevent20 data (experimental)
2007/04/04
        - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
                and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
2007/03/30
        - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
                if found
        - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
                the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
                of the project
        - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
2007/03/29
        - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
        - updated AUTHORS
        - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
                FullName, even if there was no last name)
        - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
                Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
                first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
                the first name will be empty.  Fixed parser to handle
                this special case, without relying on string length.
                Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
        - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
        - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
2007/03/17
        - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
2007/03/16
        - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
                Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
        - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
                the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
        - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
        - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
                device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
                a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
                the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
                in some cases
        - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
        - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
2007/03/08
        - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
                udev rules for the Pearl
        - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
                functionality
        - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
                RPM's... Thank you!  Notes in the README taken from
                the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
        - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
                and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
                to build cleanly on RHEL 4
        - modified rpm/barry.spec:
                - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
                - fixed "barry-backup" typo
                - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
                - added license file to each package
                - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
                        discussion
        - updated AUTHORS
        - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
        - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
                for the bug report
        - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
                systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
                newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
                user.
        - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
                part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
                on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
        - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
        - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
        - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
        - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
        - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
                functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
                as a guide
        - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
        - added preliminary pppob command line tool
2007/03/02
        - version bump in:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc

                - src/Doxyfile
                - rpm/barry.spec
        - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
                for it
        - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
                device discovery code
        - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
                when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc.  Seems that
                some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
                than are really available... in this case, let's
                just ignore the missing data and assume success
        - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
        - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
        - ReleaseChecklist update
        - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
        - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
                dependency

Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/02/28
        - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
                Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
        - added initial release maintainer scripts
        - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
                no databases selected in configuration
                Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
        - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
        - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
        - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
        - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
2007/02/23
        - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
                if in data dump mode.  In btool, -v controls this output.
        - minor stream formatting fix in btool
        - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
        - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
                -v now controls this as well
        - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
                implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
                - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
                        the beginning of USB conversations
                - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
                - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
                        its sequence number behaviour
                - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
                        socket 0 level command
                - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
                - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
                - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
                - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
                - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
                - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
                        members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
                        don't generate errors themselves, but only can
                        have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
                        Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
                - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
                - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
                - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
                        of socket 0 packets
                - updated controller.cc:
                        - uses new socket 0 implementation
                        - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
                                selecting modes, as it should use the
                                socket 0 sequence number
        - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
        - updated some .cvsignore files
        - updated TODO
        - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
        - added the following to ZeroPacket:
                - ChallengeSeed()
                - RemainingTries()
                - SocketResponse()
                - SocketSqeuence()
        - moved Command() to base Packet class
        - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
                new PasswordChallenge struct
        - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
                Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
                password hashing logic.
        - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
2007/02/22
        - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
        - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
        - major LDIF overhaul:
                - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
                        into its own
                - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
                        in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
                - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
                        contact field names
                - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
                        if necessary
                - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
                        notes fields were missed in old version if not
                        encoded
                - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
                        constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
                - updated btool and upldif to use new features
        - large update to btool manpage
        - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
2007/02/15
        - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
        - removed commented code from translate.cc
        - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
                Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
                This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
        - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
        - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
                Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
                instead of hardcoding it.
2007/02/10
        - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
        - minor tweaks to README
        - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
                Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
        - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
        - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
                fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
                and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
                probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
2007/02/09
        - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
        - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
        - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
        - added iomanip to debug.h
        - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
                This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
2007/02/04
        - updated AUTHORS
        - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
                if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
                Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
        - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
                from Ian Darwin
2007/02/03
        - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
        - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
        - updated AUTHORS
        - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
2007/02/02
        - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
                Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
                one base class: Barry::Error
        - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
        - added BadPassword exception
2007/02/01
        - version bump in:
                - configure.ac
                - src/Makefile.am
                - src/version.cc
                - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
        - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
        - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
                sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
                - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
                        operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
                        in the future.
                - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
                - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
        - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
        - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
        - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
                due to pending reads

Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/01/26
        - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
        - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
        - iostream output size fixes
        - added option to btool to reset the device via software
        - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
        - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
                this is still experimental
        - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
                class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
                Debian stable
        - uncommented the about box menu handler
        - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
        - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
2007/01/25
        - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
                and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries.  This
                field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
                Browser Options.  It is unknown what this field really
                means, but we're calling it RecType.  Updated the API
                to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
                and record objects that use it.
        - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
                Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
                32 bits
        - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
                This returns the default rectype that should work
                for that record.  Ideally this should be retrieved from
                the device, but in the case where a database has no
                records, this info would be good to know.
        - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
                to use GetDefaultRecType()
        - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
        - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
                socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
                we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
                back.  (In the official release, you need to uncomment
                ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
        - backup GUI updates:
                - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
                        and changed the logic so the restore continues
                        even if there was a protocol error on one database
                - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
                        i.e. Backup or Restore
                - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
                        it appears to be read-only on the device
                - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
                - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
                - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
                        supported now by the library
2007/01/21
        - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
        - changes to patch:
                - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
                        using the library should not care about endianness
                - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
                        so that endian.h never makes it into the final
                        install
                - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
                        for the same reason
                - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
                        Version call instead
        - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
        - updated AUTHORS
        - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
                now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
                Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
2007/01/20
        - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
                timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
                extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
                some older devices
        - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
                library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
                this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
                through btool, for development
        - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
                operations, so the GUI is updated properly
        - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
        - finished implementation of GUI restore
        - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
                occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
                exceptions need to be handled with
                Glib::add_exception_handler()
        - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
        - added pending gui/TODO items
2007/01/19
        - backup GUI now properly shows progress
        - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
        - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
                when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
                when we try to write to it)
        - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
2007/01/18
        - moved Data class into Barry namespace
2007/01/13
        - updated copyright dates for the new year
        - clarified exception message in controller.cc
        - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
        - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
        - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - updated README
        - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
                use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
        - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
                backups only at this point
2007/01/11
        - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
        - added version API, returning version number and string
        - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
        - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
                which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
                Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
2007/01/05
        - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
        - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
                in probe.h)
        - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
                controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
                before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
                leaving the device in Desktop mode
2007/01/04
        - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
                different rules
        - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
                USB product ID 6
        - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
                yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
2006/12/29
        - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am

Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006/12/29
        - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
        - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
                This begins the barry binary release, currently only
                including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
                the future.  Future binary packages will likely include
                libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
                depend on.
        - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
        - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
        - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
                package scripts
        - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
        - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
                a future Debian install
        - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
        - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
        - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
                on my system and need to compile releases with stable
2006/12/21
        - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
                NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
                        Just use your distro's libusb packages.
        - fixed more endian issues
        - minor update to TODO
2006/12/15
        - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
        - added doc/USB-capture.txt
2006/12/08
        - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
        - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
        - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
        - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
2006/12/07
        - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
        - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
                on old build system if wanted
        - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
        - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
        - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
                into their own tools/ subdirectory
        - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
        - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
                use only
        - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
                barry as a library, to move the programs into their
                own tools directory, and support a proper installation
        - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
                properly when installed standalone
        - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
                installed barry library
        - added commentary on version number system
        - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
                system supercedes it
        - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
        - added library version number to autoconf build
        - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
        - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
        - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
                option... may need to revisit this later
        - quick installation update in README
2006/12/01
        - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
                some size checks
        - fixed endian issues in time.h
        - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
                the time zone table for better defaults in North America
        - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
        - added support for Calendar recurrence data
        - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
2006/11/24
        - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
        - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data

Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006/11/23
        - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
        - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
                from any int
        - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
                uploading to device to fail
2006/11/10
        - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
                and their hierarchy
        - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
        - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
        - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
                GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
        - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
                specified multiple times to work with multiple records
                at once
        - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
        - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
                more use of the base exception to make sure no
                exceptions leak into the C library code

Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006/10/12
        - fixed casting error in opensync module
        - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
2006/09/29
        - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t.  Thanks Ron Gage for
                the bug report
2006/09/08
        - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
                splitting the code into 3 groups:
                - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
                        this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
                        as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
                        header of its own, in the case of email
                        Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
                        Record does not know the details of the packet
                        formats, only the formats of its own record data.
                - packet: handles building of complete command packets
                        and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
                        providing an API for it... packet does not know
                        the record format details, but does know the
                        details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
                        packet format.
                        So far, it seems that there is a real separation
                        of operation formats and record formats, with the
                        record formats being the same even with different
                        database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
                        OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
                        See the header size of the email record after
                        refactoring.
                - controller: handles device state, and the management of
                        sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
                        The Controller object does not know the format
                        of either the record or the packet it is sending,
                        but does know the protocol handshake logic used
                        to talk to the device.
        - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
                we come!
        - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
2006/09/01
        - added sample hotplug scripts
        - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
        - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
                handle non-little-endian machines
        - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
        - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
                can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
                and cause a failure to reach the device...
                FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
                fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
                the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
                Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
                engineered.
        - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
                for smarter syncing
        - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
                flags of individual blackberry device records
        - added endian macros throughout the code
2006/07/13
        - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
        - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
        - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
                for development)
        - removed slow sync functions for now
2006/07/07
        - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
        - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
                stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
        - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
                the base classes for all exceptions
        - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
                on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
2006/06/22
        - added to Contact record class:
                - Clear()
                - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
        - added fragmented send support to Socket class
        - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
        - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
        - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
                and upload it to a blackberry
        - updated src/.cvsignore
2006/06/16
        - added parsing of service book fields:
                - old and new name
                - old and new unique ID (UID)
                - content ID (CID)
                - old and new description
                - DSID
                - bes domain / domain
        - date change in legal.txt
        - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
                ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
        - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
                seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
                in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
2006/06/09
        - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
                of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
        - added AUTHORS file
        - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
                bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
                but not controller.  Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
2006/05/25
        - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
        - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
2006/05/18
        - make clean cleans up tests properly now
2006/03/31
        - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
        - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
                to the Controller class
                - new file: controllertmpl.h
        - documentation fixes in builder.h
        - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
                support of the template Controller functions
        - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
                returning errors properly
        - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
                of Controller template member usage
2006/03/29
        - copyright dates updated for 2006
2006/01/05
        - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
                Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
2005/12/30
        - added clean target to convenience Makefile
        - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
        - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
        - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
                it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
                constants... constants are now removed
                common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
        - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
        - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree
        - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree
        - added roadmap to Todo list
2005/12/29
        - added convenience Makefile in root directory
        - added Hacking document
        - minor touchups to README
        - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
                delete / overwrite / upload functionality
        - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
        - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
        - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
                probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
        - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
2005/12/23
        - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
        - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
        - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
        - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
                throw exception in controller.cc
        - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
                contact data to the device, it may be important to write
                group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
                This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
        - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
        - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
        - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
        - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser
                class, and "all day event" flag support
2005/12/22
        - added autoconf to Todo list
        - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
                be reused for upload and download
        - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
                controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
        - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
        - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
        - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
                this obsolete)
        - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
2005/12/10
        - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
        - added boost::serialization to build
        - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
        - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
                required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
                a special 3 byte size packet is sent
        - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
                properly serialized
        - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
        - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
        - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
        - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
2005/12/08
        - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
        - added builder.h, to support uploading
        - minor comment fixes in parser.h
        - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
        - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
        - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
                for later saving
2005/12/07
        - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
                optimize away protocol struct casts
                see:
                http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235
                http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2003/08/11/0001.html

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

Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2005/11/25
        - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage
        - updated README for release
        - renamed SBError exception class to BError
        - updated Doxyfile to version 1.4.5
        - added more doxygen comments
2005/11/24
        - added conversion routines (and tests) between time_t and min1900_t
        - added -v option to btool to dynamically control protocol dumping
        - removed duplicated database database table display in controller.cc
        - minor spelling corrections
        - added copyright to usbwrap.{h,cc} as per earlier meeting
        - added support for Old protocol Calendar entries
2005/11/20
        - added legal.txt, to save typing when adding new source files
        - ignore test-base64 file (cvsignore)
        - added contact-to-ldif generation, and updated supporting code
        - added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
        - added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
        - added README documentation in preparation for future release
2005/11/19
        - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
        - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
                reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
                from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
                Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
                Observed maximum blank count: 1
        - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
        - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
        - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
                seem to need more time...)
        - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
        - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
                protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
                with Python, if used(?)
        - added Message class for Email records
        - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
                general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
                available, and parses it with a Parser object
        - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
        - added test code to retrieve and display all email
        - cleaned up comments
        - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
        - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
        - added Makefile.conf
        - added copyright notices to source files
        - added COPYING file with GPL
        - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
                store object pointers
        - added doxygen docs
        - added header comments to convo.awk script
        - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
                better suited to its general API purpose
        - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
                a public API function
        - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
                generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
                the command line
        - added mode checks to Controller
        - added -t and -d command line options to btool
        - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
        - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
                file based
2005/11/18
        - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
        - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
        - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
        - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
        - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
                confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
                from the Command Table
        - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
        - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
                the Cassis spec more closely
        - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
        - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
                This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
                destructors
2005/11/17
        - added Doxyfile to the project
        - tuned Makefile
        - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
                RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
                Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
                data transfers.
        - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
                Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
        - added Database database parsing and protocol support
                Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
        - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
        - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
                less buffer than data copied
        - added "easy exception" debug output macro
        - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
        - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
                command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
                data
        - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
        - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
                saved
        - implemented socket::Close()
        - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
        - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
        - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
2005/11/11
        - added .cvsignore files to project
        - added README notes to document the source architecture
        - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
                mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
        - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
        - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
                -l = list only
                -p = specify pin of blackberry device
        - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
                opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
                results
        - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
                with plain data buffers with little performance impact
        - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
                - regular debug output
                - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
                        syslog someday, and never turned off)
                - raw data dump output
        - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
                numbers into english (limited success)
        - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
                use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
        - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
        - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
                __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
        - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
        - finished Socket::Open() call  (Close() not yet implemented)
        - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
                for socket 0 operations.
        - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
                MAKE_PACKET()
                COMMAND()
                IS_COMMAND()
        - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
        - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
        - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
        - added Contact record parsing, and test code
