1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
5 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
6 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
8 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
11 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,
12 enabled "usepeerdns" in both, and disabled the speed
13 setting in barry-verizon
14 - updates to website documentation
15 - added FC9 to distro list
16 - added page for BarryBackup
17 - added page for USB modem / pppob
19 - added sample ppp options files for Verizon Blackberries
20 Sample files from Michael L. Stokes
22 - renamed sample ppp peer files, in preparation for installing
23 them automatically in binary packages
24 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
25 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
27 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
28 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
29 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
30 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
32 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
33 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
34 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
35 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
36 order (no code change, only move)
37 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
38 possible to determine whether a program is using
39 threaded or non-threaded sockets
40 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
41 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
42 and updated the man page
43 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
44 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
47 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
48 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
49 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
50 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
51 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
52 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
53 IpModem endpoints are available
54 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
55 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
56 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
57 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
58 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
60 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
61 to file instead of stderr
62 - added man page for pppob
64 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
65 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
67 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
70 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
71 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
72 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
73 I'm looking at you...)
74 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
75 if no command line arguments are specified
76 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
77 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
79 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
80 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
81 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
82 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
83 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
84 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
85 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
86 like a null terminated string... also added more
87 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
88 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
89 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
90 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
91 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
92 on database records, for testing
93 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
94 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
95 which completes builder support
96 Checksums from the following commands now match:
97 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
98 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
99 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
100 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
101 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
103 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
104 work again... Thanks!
105 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
108 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
109 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
110 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
113 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
116 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
117 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

133 - also added ProbeResult constructor
134 - merged changes from visibility branch:
135 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
136 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes

243 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
245 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
246 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
248 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
249 to avoid the CVS directories
250 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
251 diff.gz and dsc files
252 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
253 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
256 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
257 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
258 real opensync libraries
260 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
261 building RPM's from CVS
262 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
263 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
264 on ./configure command line
266 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
267 so that the database name is stored as the first line
269 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
271 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
272 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
274 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
275 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
277 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
278 Paul Dugas for the tip
280 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
281 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
282 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
283 - updated AUTHORS file
285 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
286 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
287 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
288 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
289 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
290 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
291 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
292 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
294 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
295 - updated copyright statments for 2008
297 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
299 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
300 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
305 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
309 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
312 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
313 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
315 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
316 - added pause to maintainer release script
322 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
326 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
328 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
329 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
331 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
332 search by busname / devname
333 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
334 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
335 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
336 bus/device names, and updated the man page
337 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
338 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
339 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
340 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
341 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
342 spec file for opensuse
344 - added better error checking to breset
345 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
346 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
347 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
348 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
349 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
350 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
351 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
353 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
354 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
355 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
356 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
357 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
358 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
359 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
360 make applications look more capable, not less.
361 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
362 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
363 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
366 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
367 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
370 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
371 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
372 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
373 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
374 at the same time as usb_storage.
375 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
376 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
377 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
378 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
379 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
380 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
381 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
382 fail naturally on these devices.
383 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
385 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
386 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
388 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
389 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
391 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
393 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
394 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
395 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
396 that release package builds can be done faster
398 - opensync plugin fixes:
399 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
400 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
401 and keep track of the hierarchy when
402 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
403 - added support for searching for attributes only
404 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
405 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
407 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
408 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
409 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
410 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
411 ToBarry conversion results
412 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
414 - fixed typo in previous fix
416 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
417 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
418 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
423 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
427 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
428 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
430 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
431 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
432 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
433 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
435 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
436 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
438 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
439 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
440 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
441 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
442 without recompiling the kernel.
443 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
445 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
446 information in README files to html format, so that it
447 is commonly available on the web
448 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
449 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
451 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
452 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
455 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
456 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
457 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
458 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
459 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
460 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
461 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
462 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
463 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
464 explanatory document for various system requirements
465 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
467 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
468 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
469 for opensuse rpm builds
471 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
472 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
473 - fixed build target to i386
474 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
477 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
478 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
479 will be updated more frequently
481 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
482 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
483 configure scripts to support external build directories
484 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
485 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
486 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
487 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
488 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
491 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
492 parse the comma separated string into an array,
494 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
495 and will affect backward compatibility with
496 old serialization datafiles
497 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
498 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
500 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
501 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
503 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
504 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
505 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
506 - fixed in opensync plugin:
507 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
508 so added lower case conversion routine
509 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
510 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
511 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
512 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
514 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
515 - added status message to endpoint override
517 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
518 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
519 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
520 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
521 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
522 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
524 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
525 The description is now part of the probe results
526 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
527 a new attribute definition.
528 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
529 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
530 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
531 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
532 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
533 in order to better support SWIG and Python
535 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
536 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
537 settings automatically where possible
538 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
539 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
541 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
542 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
543 error.cc is now an empty shell
544 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
545 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
546 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
547 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
548 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
550 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
555 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
559 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
560 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
561 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
563 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
564 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
566 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
567 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
568 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
569 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
570 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
572 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
573 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
574 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
575 endian bug in the process)
576 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
577 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
578 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
579 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
580 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
581 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
582 - opensync-plugin/README update
583 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
584 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
585 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
587 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
589 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
592 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
593 for the broken-down name instead of N
594 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
595 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
596 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
597 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
598 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
599 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
600 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
601 registered two. Moving to single change commit
602 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
603 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
604 ease memory pressure in the library.
605 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
607 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
608 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
609 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
611 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
613 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
614 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
615 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
616 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
617 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
618 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
619 record into the device.... First/Last Name
620 fields are position sensitive, and the code
621 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
622 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
623 were not updated to handle the new field
624 table added for the postal address changes
627 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
628 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
629 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
630 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
631 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
632 UID strings, instead of just numbers
633 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
634 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
635 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
636 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
637 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
639 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
640 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
641 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
642 sync the wrong device and lose data.
643 Actions to take on new PIN:
644 - force slow_sync, or
646 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
647 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
648 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
649 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
651 - changed PIN error message number to hex
653 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
654 "Backup in progress..."
655 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
656 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
657 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
658 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
659 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
660 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
661 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
662 a new class called PostalAddress
663 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
664 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
665 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
666 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
668 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
670 - added vCard converter class
671 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
672 of empty attribute values and parameters,
673 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
674 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
675 an extra nth argument, in order to search
676 for multiple attributes with the same name...
677 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
678 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
679 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
682 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
683 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
684 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
685 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
689 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
690 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
691 new Barry ID would look like a new change
692 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
693 - added support for slow sync
694 - added clear() to idmap class
695 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
696 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
697 - added Notification time support
698 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
699 does not exist in a vformat data block
700 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
701 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
702 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
703 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
704 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
705 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
706 special cases in the future
708 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
710 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
711 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
712 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
714 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
715 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
716 library API that is not yet finished... will be
717 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
718 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
720 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
721 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
722 the goal is to be able to do:
723 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
725 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
726 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
727 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
728 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
730 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
731 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
733 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
735 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
736 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
738 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
739 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
740 in general use will not break on build
741 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
742 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
743 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
745 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
747 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
748 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
749 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
750 SetIds() is already there
751 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
752 and moved into record.h
753 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
755 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
756 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
757 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
758 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
760 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
762 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
763 - changes to PIN message patch:
764 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
765 - fixed tab alignment throughout
766 - removed typedef from Address struct
767 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
768 going to be a standalone type
769 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
770 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
771 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
772 backing on a field for other use
773 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
774 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
775 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
776 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
777 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
778 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
779 PIN Message so that we store both of these
782 - added item to gui/TODO
783 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
785 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
786 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
787 modified to split into the new separate files system
788 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
789 - reformatted the code to match coding style
791 - added copyright notice
792 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
793 - placed in Barry namespace
794 - added #ifdef header protectors
795 - added new files to Makefile.am
796 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
797 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
798 Brian Edginton's patch
799 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
800 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
803 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
804 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
808 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
809 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
810 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
811 linker errors with the new file layout
813 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
814 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
815 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
817 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
818 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
819 and added a command line option to turn
820 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
821 - command line option --help now also works
822 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
823 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
824 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
825 localizing the constants in one place
827 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
828 fields in Contact and Calendar records
829 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
830 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
831 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
832 Outlook from the comments.
833 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
834 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
835 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
836 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
837 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
842 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
843 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
846 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
847 based on the example plugin in the opensync
848 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
852 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
853 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
854 and then success afterward
855 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
856 - added item to gui's todo list
857 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
861 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
865 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
866 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
868 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
869 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
870 - updated maintainer/README
871 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
873 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
874 - bumped release number in barry.spec
877 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
878 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
879 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
880 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
882 - added development note to README
884 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
887 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
888 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
891 - removed some unneeded trace logs
892 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
894 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
895 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
897 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
898 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
900 - opensync module work:
901 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
902 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
903 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
904 a hard coded calendar record state table
905 - added lots of logging throughout
906 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
907 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
908 causing another sync on the next run
909 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
910 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
911 written to the Blackberry
912 - more opensync module work:
913 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
914 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
915 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
916 the environment classes
917 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
918 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
920 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
921 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
922 a sample configuration
923 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
924 on success (opensync module)
925 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
926 - allowed comments in the config file
927 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
928 routines are not available from the plugin side
931 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
932 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
933 only use idProduct, and updated man page
934 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
935 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
936 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
937 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
938 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
939 and the old search didn't always work
940 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
941 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
942 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
943 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
944 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
945 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
946 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
947 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
948 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
950 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
951 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
952 the vevent20 data (experimental)
954 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
955 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
957 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
959 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
960 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
962 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
964 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
966 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
967 FullName, even if there was no last name)
968 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
969 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
970 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
971 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
972 this special case, without relying on string length.
973 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
974 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
975 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
977 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
979 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
980 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
981 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
982 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
983 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
984 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
985 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
986 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
987 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
989 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
990 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
992 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
993 udev rules for the Pearl
994 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
996 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
997 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
998 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
999 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1000 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1001 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1002 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1003 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1004 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1005 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1006 - added license file to each package
1007 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1010 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1011 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1013 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1014 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1015 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1017 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1018 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1019 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1020 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1021 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1022 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1023 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1024 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1025 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1027 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1028 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1034 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1037 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1039 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1040 device discovery code
1041 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1042 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1043 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1044 than are really available... in this case, let's
1045 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1046 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1047 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1048 - ReleaseChecklist update
1049 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1050 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1053 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1054 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1056 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1057 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1058 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1059 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1060 no databases selected in configuration
1061 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1062 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1063 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1064 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1065 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1067 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1068 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1069 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1070 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1071 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1072 -v now controls this as well
1073 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1074 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1075 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1076 the beginning of USB conversations
1077 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1078 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1079 its sequence number behaviour
1080 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1081 socket 0 level command
1082 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1083 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1084 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1085 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1086 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1087 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1088 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1089 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1090 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1091 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1092 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1093 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1094 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1096 - updated controller.cc:
1097 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1098 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1099 selecting modes, as it should use the
1100 socket 0 sequence number
1101 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1102 - updated some .cvsignore files
1104 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1105 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1110 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1111 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1112 new PasswordChallenge struct
1113 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1114 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1115 password hashing logic.
1116 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1118 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1119 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1120 - major LDIF overhaul:
1121 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1123 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1124 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1125 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1127 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1129 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1130 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1132 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1133 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1134 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1135 - large update to btool manpage
1136 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1138 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1139 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1140 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1141 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1142 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1143 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1144 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1145 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1146 instead of hardcoding it.
1148 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1149 - minor tweaks to README
1150 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1151 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1152 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1153 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1154 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1155 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1156 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1158 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1159 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1160 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1161 - added iomanip to debug.h
1162 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1163 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1166 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1167 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1168 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1169 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1172 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1173 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1175 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1177 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1178 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1179 one base class: Barry::Error
1180 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1181 - added BadPassword exception
1187 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1188 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1189 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1190 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1191 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1192 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1193 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1195 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1196 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1197 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1198 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1199 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1200 due to pending reads
1202 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1203 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1205 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1206 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1207 - iostream output size fixes
1208 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1209 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1210 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1211 this is still experimental
1212 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1213 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1215 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1216 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1217 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1218 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1220 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1221 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1222 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1223 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1224 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1225 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1226 and record objects that use it.
1227 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1228 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1230 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1231 This returns the default rectype that should work
1232 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1233 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1234 records, this info would be good to know.
1235 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1236 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1237 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1238 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1239 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1240 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1241 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1242 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1243 - backup GUI updates:
1244 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1245 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1246 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1247 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1248 i.e. Backup or Restore
1249 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1250 it appears to be read-only on the device
1251 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1252 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1253 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1254 supported now by the library
1256 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1257 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1259 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1260 using the library should not care about endianness
1261 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1262 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1264 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1266 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1267 Version call instead
1268 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1270 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1271 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1272 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1274 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1275 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1276 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1278 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1279 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1280 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1281 through btool, for development
1282 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1283 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1284 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1285 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1286 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1287 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1288 exceptions need to be handled with
1289 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1290 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1291 - added pending gui/TODO items
1293 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1294 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1295 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1296 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1297 when we try to write to it)
1298 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1300 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1302 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1303 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1304 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1305 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1306 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1308 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1309 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1310 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1311 backups only at this point
1313 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1314 - added version API, returning version number and string
1315 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1316 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1317 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1318 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1320 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1321 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1323 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1324 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1325 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1326 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1328 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1330 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1332 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1333 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1335 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1337 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1338 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1340 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1341 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1342 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1343 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1344 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1345 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1347 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1348 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1349 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1351 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1352 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1353 a future Debian install
1354 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1355 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1356 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1357 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1359 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1360 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1361 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1374 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1375 on old build system if wanted
1376 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1377 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1378 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1379 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1380 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1381 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1383 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1384 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1385 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1386 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1387 properly when installed standalone
1388 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1389 installed barry library
1390 - added commentary on version number system
1391 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1392 system supercedes it

1414 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1416 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1417 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert

1420 uploading to device to fail
1422 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1424 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1425 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1426 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1427 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1428 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1429 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1431 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1432 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1433 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1434 exceptions leak into the C library code
1436 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1437 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1439 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1440 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1442 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1445 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1446 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1447 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1448 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1449 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1450 header of its own, in the case of email
1451 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1452 Record does not know the details of the packet
1453 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1454 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1455 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1456 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1457 the record format details, but does know the
1458 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1460 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1461 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1462 record formats being the same even with different
1463 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1464 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1465 See the header size of the email record after
1467 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1468 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1469 The Controller object does not know the format
1470 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1471 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1472 to talk to the device.
1473 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1475 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1477 - added sample hotplug scripts
1478 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1479 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1480 handle non-little-endian machines
1481 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1482 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1483 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1484 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1485 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1486 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1487 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1488 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1490 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1492 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1493 flags of individual blackberry device records
1494 - added endian macros throughout the code
1496 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1497 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1498 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1500 - removed slow sync functions for now
1502 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1503 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1504 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1505 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1506 the base classes for all exceptions
1507 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1508 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1510 - added to Contact record class:
1512 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1513 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1514 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1517 and upload it to a blackberry
1518 - updated src/.cvsignore
1520 - added parsing of service book fields:
1522 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1524 - old and new description
1526 - bes domain / domain
1527 - date change in legal.txt
1528 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1529 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1530 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1531 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1532 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1534 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1535 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1536 - added AUTHORS file
1537 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1538 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1539 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1541 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1542 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1544 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1550 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1551 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1552 support of the template Controller functions

1556 of Controller template member usage
1558 - copyright dates updated for 2006

1564 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1565 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1566 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1586 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1587 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1588 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1589 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1590 throw exception in controller.cc
1591 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1592 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1593 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1594 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1595 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1596 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1597 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1613 - added boost::serialization to build
1614 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1615 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1616 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1617 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1618 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1620 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1629 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1630 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1633 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1634 optimize away protocol struct casts

1640 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1641 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1642 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1643 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1645 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1668 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1669 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1670 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1671 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1672 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1673 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1674 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1675 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1676 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1677 seem to need more time...)
1678 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1679 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1680 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1681 with Python, if used(?)
1682 - added Message class for Email records
1683 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1684 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1685 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1698 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1699 better suited to its general API purpose
1700 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1701 a public API function
1702 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1703 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1705 - added mode checks to Controller
1706 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1707 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1708 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1711 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1712 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1713 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1714 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1715 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1716 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1717 from the Command Table
1718 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1719 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1720 the Cassis spec more closely
1721 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1722 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1723 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1726 - added Doxyfile to the project
1728 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1729 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1730 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1732 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1733 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1734 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1735 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1736 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1737 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1738 less buffer than data copied
1739 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1740 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1741 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1742 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1744 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1745 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1747 - implemented socket::Close()
1748 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1749 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1750 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1752 - added .cvsignore files to project
1753 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1754 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1755 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1756 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1757 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1759 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1760 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1761 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1763 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1764 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1765 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1766 - regular debug output
1767 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1768 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1769 - raw data dump output
1770 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1771 numbers into english (limited success)
1772 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1773 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1774 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1775 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1776 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1777 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1778 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
