11 - added syncing howto web document
12 - updated TODO list, adding Troubleshooting item, and morphing
13 the modem item into the RPC daemon item
14 - moved old doc/TroubleShooting.txt document to web, and updated
16 - added tip to sync web docs, for using DebugMode on hangs
18 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
19 the directory that contains it
20 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
22 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
23 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
24 headers, as it is an internal header only
25 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
26 - added -j option to make to speed builds
27 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
29 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
30 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
31 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
32 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
33 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
34 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
36 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
37 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
39 - added beginnings of a build system test script
40 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
41 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
43 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
44 well as listing some network security concerns

47 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
48 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
49 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
50 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
51 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
52 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
53 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
54 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
56 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
57 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
58 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
59 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
62 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
63 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
64 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
65 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
66 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
67 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
68 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
69 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
71 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD

98 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, pppob, upldif,
100 - added ppp options and chat scripts, with postinit
101 script to set permissions
102 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
104 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
105 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
106 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
108 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs

123 them automatically in binary packages
124 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
125 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
127 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
128 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
129 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
130 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
131 such as with pppob...
132 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
133 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
134 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
135 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
136 order (no code change, only move)
137 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
138 possible to determine whether a program is using
139 threaded or non-threaded sockets
140 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
141 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
142 and updated the man page
143 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
144 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
147 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
148 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
149 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
150 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
151 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
152 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
153 IpModem endpoints are available
154 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
155 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
156 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
157 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
158 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
160 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
161 to file instead of stderr
162 - added man page for pppob
164 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
165 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
167 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
170 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
171 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
172 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
173 I'm looking at you...)
174 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
175 if no command line arguments are specified
176 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
177 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
179 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
180 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
181 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
182 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
183 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
184 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
185 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
186 like a null terminated string... also added more
187 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
188 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
189 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
190 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
191 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
192 on database records, for testing
193 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
194 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
195 which completes builder support
196 Checksums from the following commands now match:
197 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
198 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
199 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
200 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
201 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
203 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
204 work again... Thanks!
205 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
208 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
209 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
210 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
213 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
216 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
217 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

345 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
346 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
348 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
349 to avoid the CVS directories
350 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
351 diff.gz and dsc files
352 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
353 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
356 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
357 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
358 real opensync libraries
360 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
361 building RPM's from CVS
362 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
363 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
364 on ./configure command line
366 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
367 so that the database name is stored as the first line
369 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
371 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
372 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
374 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
375 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
377 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
378 Paul Dugas for the tip
380 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
381 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
382 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
383 - updated AUTHORS file
385 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
386 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
387 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
388 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
389 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
390 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
391 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
392 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
394 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
395 - updated copyright statments for 2008
397 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
399 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
400 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
405 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
409 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
412 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
413 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
415 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
416 - added pause to maintainer release script
422 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
426 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
428 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
429 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
431 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
432 search by busname / devname
433 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
434 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
435 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
436 bus/device names, and updated the man page
437 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
438 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
439 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
440 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
441 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
442 spec file for opensuse
444 - added better error checking to breset
445 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
446 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
447 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
448 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
449 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
450 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
451 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
453 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
454 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
455 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
456 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
457 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
458 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
459 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
460 make applications look more capable, not less.
461 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
462 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
463 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
466 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
467 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
470 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
471 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
472 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
473 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
474 at the same time as usb_storage.
475 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
476 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
477 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
478 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
479 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
480 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
481 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
482 fail naturally on these devices.
483 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
485 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
486 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
488 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
489 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
491 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
493 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
494 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
495 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
496 that release package builds can be done faster
498 - opensync plugin fixes:
499 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
500 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
501 and keep track of the hierarchy when
502 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
503 - added support for searching for attributes only
504 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
505 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
507 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
508 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
509 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
510 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
511 ToBarry conversion results
512 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
514 - fixed typo in previous fix
516 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
517 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
518 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
523 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
527 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
528 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
530 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
531 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
532 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
533 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
535 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
536 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
538 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
539 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
540 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
541 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
542 without recompiling the kernel.
543 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
545 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
546 information in README files to html format, so that it
547 is commonly available on the web
548 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
549 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
551 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
552 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
555 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
556 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
557 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
558 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
559 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
560 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
561 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
562 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
563 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
564 explanatory document for various system requirements
565 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
567 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
568 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
569 for opensuse rpm builds
571 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
572 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
573 - fixed build target to i386
574 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
577 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
578 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
579 will be updated more frequently
581 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
582 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
583 configure scripts to support external build directories
584 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
585 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
586 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
587 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
588 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
591 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
592 parse the comma separated string into an array,
594 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
595 and will affect backward compatibility with
596 old serialization datafiles
597 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
598 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
600 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
601 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
603 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
604 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
605 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
606 - fixed in opensync plugin:
607 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
608 so added lower case conversion routine
609 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
610 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
611 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
612 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
614 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
615 - added status message to endpoint override
617 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
618 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
619 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
620 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
621 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
622 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
624 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
625 The description is now part of the probe results
626 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
627 a new attribute definition.
628 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
629 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
630 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
631 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
632 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
633 in order to better support SWIG and Python
635 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
636 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
637 settings automatically where possible
638 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
639 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
641 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
642 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
643 error.cc is now an empty shell
644 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
645 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
646 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
647 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
648 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
650 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
655 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
659 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
660 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
661 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
663 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
664 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
666 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
667 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
668 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
669 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
670 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
672 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
673 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
674 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
675 endian bug in the process)
676 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
677 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
678 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
679 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
680 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
681 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
682 - opensync-plugin/README update
683 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
684 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
685 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
687 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
689 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
692 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
693 for the broken-down name instead of N
694 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
695 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
696 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
697 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
698 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
699 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
700 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
701 registered two. Moving to single change commit
702 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
703 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
704 ease memory pressure in the library.
705 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
707 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
708 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
709 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
711 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
713 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
714 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
715 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
716 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
717 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
718 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
719 record into the device.... First/Last Name
720 fields are position sensitive, and the code
721 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
722 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
723 were not updated to handle the new field
724 table added for the postal address changes
727 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
728 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
729 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
730 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
731 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
732 UID strings, instead of just numbers
733 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
734 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
735 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
736 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
737 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
739 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
740 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
741 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
742 sync the wrong device and lose data.
743 Actions to take on new PIN:
744 - force slow_sync, or
746 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
747 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
748 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
749 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
751 - changed PIN error message number to hex
753 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
754 "Backup in progress..."
755 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
756 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
757 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
758 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
759 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
760 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
761 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
762 a new class called PostalAddress
763 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
764 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
765 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
766 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
768 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
770 - added vCard converter class
771 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
772 of empty attribute values and parameters,
773 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
774 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
775 an extra nth argument, in order to search
776 for multiple attributes with the same name...
777 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
778 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
779 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
782 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
783 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
784 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
785 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
789 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
790 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
791 new Barry ID would look like a new change
792 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
793 - added support for slow sync
794 - added clear() to idmap class
795 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
796 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
797 - added Notification time support
798 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
799 does not exist in a vformat data block
800 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
801 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
802 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
803 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
804 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
805 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
806 special cases in the future
808 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
810 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
811 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
812 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
814 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
815 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
816 library API that is not yet finished... will be
817 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
818 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
820 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
821 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
822 the goal is to be able to do:
823 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
825 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
826 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
827 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
828 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
830 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
831 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
833 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
835 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
836 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
838 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
839 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
840 in general use will not break on build
841 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
842 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
843 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
845 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
847 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
848 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
849 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
850 SetIds() is already there
851 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
852 and moved into record.h
853 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
855 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
856 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
857 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
858 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
860 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
862 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
863 - changes to PIN message patch:
864 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
865 - fixed tab alignment throughout
866 - removed typedef from Address struct
867 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
868 going to be a standalone type
869 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
870 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
871 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
872 backing on a field for other use
873 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
874 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
875 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
876 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
877 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
878 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
879 PIN Message so that we store both of these
882 - added item to gui/TODO
883 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
885 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
886 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
887 modified to split into the new separate files system
888 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
889 - reformatted the code to match coding style
891 - added copyright notice
892 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
893 - placed in Barry namespace
894 - added #ifdef header protectors
895 - added new files to Makefile.am
896 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
897 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
898 Brian Edginton's patch
899 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
900 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
903 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
904 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
908 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
909 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
910 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
911 linker errors with the new file layout
913 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
914 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
915 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
917 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
918 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
919 and added a command line option to turn
920 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
921 - command line option --help now also works
922 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
923 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
924 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
925 localizing the constants in one place
927 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
928 fields in Contact and Calendar records
929 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
930 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
931 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
932 Outlook from the comments.
933 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
934 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
935 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
936 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
937 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
942 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
943 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
946 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
947 based on the example plugin in the opensync
948 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
952 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
953 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
954 and then success afterward
955 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
956 - added item to gui's todo list
957 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
961 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
965 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
966 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
968 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

971 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
973 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
974 - bumped release number in barry.spec
977 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
978 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
979 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
980 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
982 - added development note to README
984 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
987 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
988 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
991 - removed some unneeded trace logs
992 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
994 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
995 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
997 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
998 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1000 - opensync module work:
1001 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1002 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1003 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1004 a hard coded calendar record state table
1005 - added lots of logging throughout
1006 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1007 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1008 causing another sync on the next run
1009 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1010 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1011 written to the Blackberry
1012 - more opensync module work:
1013 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1014 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1015 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1016 the environment classes
1017 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1018 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1020 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1021 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1022 a sample configuration
1023 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1024 on success (opensync module)
1025 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1026 - allowed comments in the config file
1027 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1028 routines are not available from the plugin side
1031 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1032 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1033 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1034 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1035 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1036 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1037 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1038 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1039 and the old search didn't always work
1040 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1041 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1042 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1043 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1044 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1045 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1046 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1047 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1048 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1050 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1051 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1052 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1054 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1055 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1057 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1059 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1060 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1062 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1064 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1066 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1067 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1068 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1069 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1070 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1071 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1072 this special case, without relying on string length.
1073 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1074 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1075 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1077 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1079 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1080 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1081 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1082 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1083 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1084 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1085 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1086 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1087 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1089 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1090 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1092 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1093 udev rules for the Pearl
1094 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1096 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1097 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1098 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1099 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1100 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1101 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1102 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1103 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1104 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1105 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1106 - added license file to each package
1107 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1110 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1111 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1113 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1114 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1115 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1117 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1118 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1119 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1120 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1121 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1122 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1123 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1124 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1125 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1127 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1128 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1134 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1137 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1139 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1140 device discovery code
1141 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1142 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1143 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1144 than are really available... in this case, let's
1145 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1146 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1147 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1148 - ReleaseChecklist update
1149 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1150 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1153 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1154 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1156 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1157 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1158 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1159 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1160 no databases selected in configuration
1161 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1162 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1163 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1164 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1165 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1167 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1168 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1169 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1170 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1171 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1172 -v now controls this as well
1173 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1174 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1175 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1176 the beginning of USB conversations
1177 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1178 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1179 its sequence number behaviour
1180 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1181 socket 0 level command
1182 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1183 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1184 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1185 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1186 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1187 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1188 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1189 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1190 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1191 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1192 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1193 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1194 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1196 - updated controller.cc:
1197 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1198 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1199 selecting modes, as it should use the
1200 socket 0 sequence number
1201 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1202 - updated some .cvsignore files
1204 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1205 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1210 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1211 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1212 new PasswordChallenge struct
1213 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1214 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1215 password hashing logic.
1216 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1218 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1219 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1220 - major LDIF overhaul:
1221 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1223 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1224 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1225 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1227 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1229 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1230 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1232 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1233 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1234 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1235 - large update to btool manpage
1236 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1238 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1239 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1240 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1241 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1242 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1243 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1244 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1245 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1246 instead of hardcoding it.
1248 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1249 - minor tweaks to README
1250 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1251 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1252 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1253 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1254 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1255 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1256 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1258 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1259 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1260 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1261 - added iomanip to debug.h
1262 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1263 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1266 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1267 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1268 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1269 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1272 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1273 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1275 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1277 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1278 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1279 one base class: Barry::Error
1280 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1281 - added BadPassword exception
1287 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1288 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1289 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1290 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1291 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1292 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1293 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1295 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1296 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1297 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1298 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1299 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1300 due to pending reads
1302 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1303 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1305 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1306 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1307 - iostream output size fixes
1308 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1309 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1310 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1311 this is still experimental
1312 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1313 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1315 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1316 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1317 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1318 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1320 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1321 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1322 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1323 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1324 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1325 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1326 and record objects that use it.
1327 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1328 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1330 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1331 This returns the default rectype that should work
1332 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1333 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1334 records, this info would be good to know.
1335 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1336 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1337 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1338 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1339 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1340 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1341 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1342 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1343 - backup GUI updates:
1344 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1345 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1346 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1347 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1348 i.e. Backup or Restore
1349 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1350 it appears to be read-only on the device
1351 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1352 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1353 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1354 supported now by the library
1356 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1357 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1359 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1360 using the library should not care about endianness
1361 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1362 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1364 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1366 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1367 Version call instead
1368 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1370 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1371 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1372 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1374 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1375 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1376 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1378 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1379 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1380 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1381 through btool, for development
1382 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1383 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1384 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1385 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1386 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1387 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1388 exceptions need to be handled with
1389 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1390 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1391 - added pending gui/TODO items
1393 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1394 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1395 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1396 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1397 when we try to write to it)
1398 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1400 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1402 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1403 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1404 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1405 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1406 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1408 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1409 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1410 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1411 backups only at this point
1413 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1414 - added version API, returning version number and string
1415 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1416 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1417 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1418 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1420 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1421 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1423 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1424 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1425 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1426 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1428 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1430 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1432 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1433 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1435 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1437 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1438 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1440 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1441 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1442 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1443 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1444 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1445 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1447 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1448 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1449 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1451 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1452 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1453 a future Debian install
1454 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1455 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1456 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1457 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1459 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1460 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1461 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1462 - fixed more endian issues
1463 - minor update to TODO
1465 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1466 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1468 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1469 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1470 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1471 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1473 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1474 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1475 on old build system if wanted
1476 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1477 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1478 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1479 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1480 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1481 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1483 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1484 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1485 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1486 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1487 properly when installed standalone
1488 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1489 installed barry library
1490 - added commentary on version number system
1491 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1492 system supercedes it

1514 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1516 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1517 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1519 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1520 uploading to device to fail
1522 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1524 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1525 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1526 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1527 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1528 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1529 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1531 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1532 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1533 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1534 exceptions leak into the C library code
1536 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1537 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1539 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1540 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1542 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1545 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1546 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1547 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1548 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1549 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1550 header of its own, in the case of email
1551 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1552 Record does not know the details of the packet
1553 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1554 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1555 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1556 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1557 the record format details, but does know the
1558 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1560 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1561 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1562 record formats being the same even with different
1563 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1564 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1565 See the header size of the email record after
1567 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1568 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1569 The Controller object does not know the format
1570 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1571 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1572 to talk to the device.
1573 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1575 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1577 - added sample hotplug scripts
1578 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1579 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1580 handle non-little-endian machines
1581 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1582 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1583 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1584 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1585 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1586 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1587 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1588 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1590 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1592 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1593 flags of individual blackberry device records
1594 - added endian macros throughout the code
1596 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1597 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1598 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1600 - removed slow sync functions for now
1602 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1603 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1604 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1605 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1606 the base classes for all exceptions
1607 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1608 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1610 - added to Contact record class:
1612 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1613 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1614 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1617 and upload it to a blackberry
1618 - updated src/.cvsignore
1620 - added parsing of service book fields:
1622 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1624 - old and new description
1626 - bes domain / domain
1627 - date change in legal.txt
1628 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1629 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1630 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1631 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1632 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1634 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1635 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1636 - added AUTHORS file
1637 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1638 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1639 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1641 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1642 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1644 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1650 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1651 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1652 support of the template Controller functions

1656 of Controller template member usage
1658 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1660 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1661 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1664 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1665 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1666 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1679 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1680 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1681 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1682 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1683 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1684 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1686 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1687 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1688 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1689 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1690 throw exception in controller.cc
1691 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1692 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1693 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1694 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1695 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1696 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1697 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1698 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1701 - added autoconf to Todo list
1702 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1703 be reused for upload and download
1704 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1705 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1706 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1707 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts

1713 - added boost::serialization to build
1714 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1715 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1716 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1717 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1718 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1720 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1721 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1722 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld

1729 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1730 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1733 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1734 optimize away protocol struct casts

1740 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1741 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1742 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1743 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1745 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1746 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1748 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage

1764 - added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
1765 - added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
1766 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1768 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1769 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1770 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1771 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1772 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1773 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1774 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1775 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1776 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1777 seem to need more time...)
1778 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1779 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1780 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1781 with Python, if used(?)
1782 - added Message class for Email records
1783 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1784 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1785 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1786 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1787 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1788 - cleaned up comments
1789 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
1790 - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
1791 - added Makefile.conf
1792 - added copyright notices to source files
1793 - added COPYING file with GPL
1794 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1795 store object pointers
1796 - added doxygen docs
1797 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1798 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1799 better suited to its general API purpose
1800 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1801 a public API function
1802 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1803 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1805 - added mode checks to Controller
1806 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1807 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1808 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1811 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1812 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1813 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1814 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1815 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1816 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1817 from the Command Table
1818 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1819 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1820 the Cassis spec more closely
1821 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1822 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1823 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1826 - added Doxyfile to the project
1828 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1829 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1830 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1832 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1833 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1834 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1835 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1836 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1837 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1838 less buffer than data copied
1839 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1840 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1841 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1842 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1844 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1845 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1847 - implemented socket::Close()
1848 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1849 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1850 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1852 - added .cvsignore files to project
1853 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1854 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1855 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1856 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1857 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1859 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1860 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1861 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1863 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1864 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1865 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1866 - regular debug output
1867 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1868 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1869 - raw data dump output
1870 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1871 numbers into english (limited success)
1872 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1873 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1874 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1875 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1876 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1877 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1878 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1879 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1880 for socket 0 operations.
1881 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1885 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1886 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1887 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1888 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1890 - syncberry tree started
