27 and updated the build process to support them.
28 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
29 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
30 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
31 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc

60 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
61 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
63 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
64 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
65 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
66 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
68 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
69 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
70 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
71 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
72 order (no code change, only move)
73 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
74 possible to determine whether a program is using
75 threaded or non-threaded sockets
76 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
77 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
78 and updated the man page

87 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
88 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
89 IpModem endpoints are available
90 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
91 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
92 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
93 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
94 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
96 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
97 to file instead of stderr
98 - added man page for pppob
100 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
101 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
103 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
106 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
107 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
108 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
109 I'm looking at you...)
110 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
111 if no command line arguments are specified
112 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
113 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
115 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
116 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
117 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
118 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
119 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
120 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
121 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
122 like a null terminated string... also added more
123 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
124 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
125 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
126 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
127 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
128 on database records, for testing
129 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
130 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
131 which completes builder support
132 Checksums from the following commands now match:
133 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
134 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
135 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
136 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
137 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
139 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
140 work again... Thanks!
141 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
144 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
145 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
146 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
149 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
152 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
153 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

279 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
281 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
282 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
284 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
285 to avoid the CVS directories
286 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
287 diff.gz and dsc files
288 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
289 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
292 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
293 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
294 real opensync libraries
296 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
297 building RPM's from CVS
298 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
299 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
300 on ./configure command line
302 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
303 so that the database name is stored as the first line
305 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
307 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
308 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
310 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
311 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
313 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
314 Paul Dugas for the tip
316 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
317 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
318 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
319 - updated AUTHORS file
321 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
322 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
323 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
324 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
325 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
326 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
327 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
328 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
330 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
331 - updated copyright statments for 2008
333 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
335 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
336 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
341 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
345 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
348 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
349 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
351 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
352 - added pause to maintainer release script
358 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
362 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
364 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
365 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
367 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
368 search by busname / devname
369 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
370 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
371 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
372 bus/device names, and updated the man page
373 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
374 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
375 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
376 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
377 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
378 spec file for opensuse
380 - added better error checking to breset
381 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
382 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
383 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
384 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
385 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
386 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
387 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
389 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
390 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
391 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
392 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
393 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
394 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
395 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
396 make applications look more capable, not less.
397 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
398 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
399 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
402 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
403 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
406 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
407 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
408 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
409 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
410 at the same time as usb_storage.
411 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
412 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
413 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
414 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
415 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
416 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
417 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
418 fail naturally on these devices.
419 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
421 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
422 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
424 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
425 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
427 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
429 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
430 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
431 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
432 that release package builds can be done faster
434 - opensync plugin fixes:
435 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
436 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
437 and keep track of the hierarchy when
438 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
439 - added support for searching for attributes only
440 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
441 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
443 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
444 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
445 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
446 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
447 ToBarry conversion results
448 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
450 - fixed typo in previous fix
452 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
453 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
454 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
459 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
463 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
464 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
466 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
467 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
468 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
469 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
471 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
472 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
474 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
475 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
476 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
477 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
478 without recompiling the kernel.
479 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
481 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
482 information in README files to html format, so that it
483 is commonly available on the web
484 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
485 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
487 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
488 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
491 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
492 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
493 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
494 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
495 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
496 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
497 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
498 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
499 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
500 explanatory document for various system requirements
501 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
503 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
504 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
505 for opensuse rpm builds
507 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
508 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
509 - fixed build target to i386
510 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
513 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
514 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
515 will be updated more frequently
517 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
518 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
519 configure scripts to support external build directories
520 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
521 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
522 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
523 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
524 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
527 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
528 parse the comma separated string into an array,
530 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
531 and will affect backward compatibility with
532 old serialization datafiles
533 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
534 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
536 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
537 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
539 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
540 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
541 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
542 - fixed in opensync plugin:
543 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
544 so added lower case conversion routine
545 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
546 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
547 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
548 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
550 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
551 - added status message to endpoint override
553 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
554 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
555 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
556 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
557 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
558 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
560 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
561 The description is now part of the probe results
562 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
563 a new attribute definition.
564 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
565 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
566 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
567 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
568 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
569 in order to better support SWIG and Python
571 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
572 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
573 settings automatically where possible
574 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
575 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
577 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
578 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
579 error.cc is now an empty shell
580 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
581 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
582 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
583 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
584 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
586 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
591 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
595 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
596 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
597 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
599 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
600 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
602 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
603 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
604 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
605 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
606 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
608 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
609 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
610 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
611 endian bug in the process)
612 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
613 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
614 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
615 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
616 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
617 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
618 - opensync-plugin/README update
619 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
620 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
621 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
623 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
625 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
628 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
629 for the broken-down name instead of N
630 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
631 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
632 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
633 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
634 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
635 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
636 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
637 registered two. Moving to single change commit
638 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
639 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
640 ease memory pressure in the library.
641 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
643 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
644 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
645 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
647 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
649 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
650 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
651 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
652 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
653 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
654 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
655 record into the device.... First/Last Name
656 fields are position sensitive, and the code
657 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
658 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
659 were not updated to handle the new field
660 table added for the postal address changes
663 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
664 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
665 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
666 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
667 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
668 UID strings, instead of just numbers
669 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
670 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
671 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
672 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
673 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
675 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
676 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
677 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
678 sync the wrong device and lose data.
679 Actions to take on new PIN:
680 - force slow_sync, or
682 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
683 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
684 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
685 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
687 - changed PIN error message number to hex
689 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
690 "Backup in progress..."
691 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
692 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
693 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
694 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
695 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
696 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
697 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
698 a new class called PostalAddress
699 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
700 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
701 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
702 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
704 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
706 - added vCard converter class
707 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
708 of empty attribute values and parameters,
709 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
710 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
711 an extra nth argument, in order to search
712 for multiple attributes with the same name...
713 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
714 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
715 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
718 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
719 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
720 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
721 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
725 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
726 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
727 new Barry ID would look like a new change
728 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
729 - added support for slow sync
730 - added clear() to idmap class
731 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
732 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
733 - added Notification time support
734 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
735 does not exist in a vformat data block
736 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
737 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
738 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
739 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
740 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
741 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
742 special cases in the future
744 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
746 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
747 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
748 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
750 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
751 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
752 library API that is not yet finished... will be
753 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
754 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
756 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
757 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
758 the goal is to be able to do:
759 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
761 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
762 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
763 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
764 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
766 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
767 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
769 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
771 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
772 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
774 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
775 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
776 in general use will not break on build
777 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
778 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
779 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
781 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
783 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
784 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
785 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
786 SetIds() is already there
787 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
788 and moved into record.h
789 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
791 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
792 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
793 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
794 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
796 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
798 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
799 - changes to PIN message patch:
800 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
801 - fixed tab alignment throughout
802 - removed typedef from Address struct
803 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
804 going to be a standalone type
805 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
806 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
807 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
808 backing on a field for other use
809 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
810 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
811 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
812 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
813 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
814 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
815 PIN Message so that we store both of these
818 - added item to gui/TODO
819 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
821 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
822 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
823 modified to split into the new separate files system

825 - reformatted the code to match coding style
827 - added copyright notice
828 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
829 - placed in Barry namespace
830 - added #ifdef header protectors
831 - added new files to Makefile.am
832 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
833 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
834 Brian Edginton's patch
835 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
836 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
839 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
840 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
844 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
845 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
846 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
847 linker errors with the new file layout
849 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
850 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
851 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
853 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
854 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
855 and added a command line option to turn
856 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
857 - command line option --help now also works
858 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
859 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
860 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
861 localizing the constants in one place
863 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
864 fields in Contact and Calendar records
865 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
866 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
867 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
868 Outlook from the comments.
869 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
870 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
871 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
872 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
873 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
878 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
879 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
882 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
883 based on the example plugin in the opensync
884 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
888 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
889 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
890 and then success afterward
891 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
892 - added item to gui's todo list
893 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
897 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
901 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
902 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
904 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
905 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
906 - updated maintainer/README
907 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
909 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
910 - bumped release number in barry.spec
913 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
914 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
915 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
916 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
918 - added development note to README
920 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
923 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
924 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
927 - removed some unneeded trace logs
928 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
930 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
931 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
933 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
934 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
936 - opensync module work:
937 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
938 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
939 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
940 a hard coded calendar record state table
941 - added lots of logging throughout
942 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
943 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
944 causing another sync on the next run
945 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
946 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
947 written to the Blackberry
948 - more opensync module work:
949 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
950 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
951 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
952 the environment classes
953 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
954 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
956 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
957 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
958 a sample configuration
959 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
960 on success (opensync module)
961 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
962 - allowed comments in the config file
963 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
964 routines are not available from the plugin side
967 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
968 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
969 only use idProduct, and updated man page
970 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
971 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
972 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
973 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
974 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
975 and the old search didn't always work
976 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
977 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
978 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
979 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
980 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
981 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
982 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
983 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
984 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
986 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
987 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
988 the vevent20 data (experimental)
990 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
991 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
993 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
995 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
996 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
998 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1000 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1002 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1003 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1004 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1005 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1006 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1007 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1008 this special case, without relying on string length.
1009 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1010 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1011 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1013 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1015 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1016 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1017 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1018 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1019 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1020 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1021 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1022 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1023 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1025 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1026 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1028 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1029 udev rules for the Pearl
1030 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1032 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1033 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1034 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1035 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1036 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1037 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1038 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1039 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1040 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1041 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1042 - added license file to each package
1043 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1046 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1047 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1049 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1050 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1051 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1053 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1054 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1055 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1056 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1057 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1058 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1059 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1060 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1061 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1063 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1064 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1070 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1073 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1075 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1076 device discovery code
1077 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1078 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1079 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1080 than are really available... in this case, let's
1081 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1082 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1083 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1084 - ReleaseChecklist update
1085 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1086 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1089 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1090 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1092 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1093 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1094 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1095 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1096 no databases selected in configuration
1097 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1098 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1099 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1100 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1101 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1103 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1104 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1105 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1106 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1107 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1108 -v now controls this as well
1109 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1110 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1111 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1112 the beginning of USB conversations
1113 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1114 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1115 its sequence number behaviour
1116 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1117 socket 0 level command
1118 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1119 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1120 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1121 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1122 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1123 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1124 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1125 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1126 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1127 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1128 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1129 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1130 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1132 - updated controller.cc:
1133 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1134 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1135 selecting modes, as it should use the
1136 socket 0 sequence number
1137 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1138 - updated some .cvsignore files
1140 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1141 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1146 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1147 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1148 new PasswordChallenge struct
1149 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1150 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1151 password hashing logic.
1152 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1154 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1155 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1156 - major LDIF overhaul:
1157 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1159 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1160 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1161 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1163 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1165 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1166 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1168 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1169 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1170 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1171 - large update to btool manpage
1172 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1174 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1175 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1176 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1177 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1178 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1179 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1180 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1181 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1182 instead of hardcoding it.
1184 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1185 - minor tweaks to README
1186 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1187 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1188 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1189 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1190 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1191 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1192 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1194 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1195 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1196 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1197 - added iomanip to debug.h
1198 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1199 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1202 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1203 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1204 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1205 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1208 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1209 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1211 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1213 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1214 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1215 one base class: Barry::Error
1216 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1217 - added BadPassword exception
1223 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1224 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1225 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1226 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1227 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1228 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1229 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1231 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1232 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1233 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1234 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1235 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1236 due to pending reads
1238 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1239 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1241 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1242 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1243 - iostream output size fixes
1244 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1245 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1246 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1247 this is still experimental
1248 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1249 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1251 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1252 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1253 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1254 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1256 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1257 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1258 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1259 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1260 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1261 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1262 and record objects that use it.
1263 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1264 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1266 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1267 This returns the default rectype that should work
1268 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1269 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1270 records, this info would be good to know.
1271 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1272 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1273 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1274 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1275 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1276 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1277 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1278 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1279 - backup GUI updates:
1280 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1281 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1282 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1283 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1284 i.e. Backup or Restore
1285 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1286 it appears to be read-only on the device
1287 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1288 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1289 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1290 supported now by the library
1292 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1293 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1295 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1296 using the library should not care about endianness
1297 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1298 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1300 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1302 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1303 Version call instead
1304 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1306 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1307 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1308 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1310 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1311 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1312 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1314 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1315 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1316 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1317 through btool, for development
1318 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1319 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1320 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1321 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1322 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1323 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1324 exceptions need to be handled with
1325 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1326 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1327 - added pending gui/TODO items
1329 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1330 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1331 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1332 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1333 when we try to write to it)
1334 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1336 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1338 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1339 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1340 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1341 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1342 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1344 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1345 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1346 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1347 backups only at this point
1349 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1350 - added version API, returning version number and string
1351 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1352 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1353 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1354 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1356 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1357 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1359 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1360 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1361 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1362 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1364 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1366 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1368 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1369 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1371 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1373 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1374 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1376 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1377 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1378 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1379 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1380 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1381 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1383 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1384 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1385 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1387 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1388 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1389 a future Debian install
1390 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1391 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1392 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1393 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1395 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1396 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1397 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1398 - fixed more endian issues
1399 - minor update to TODO
1401 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/

1407 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1409 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1410 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1411 on old build system if wanted
1412 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1413 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1414 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1415 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1416 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1417 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1419 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1420 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1421 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1422 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1423 properly when installed standalone
1424 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1425 installed barry library
1426 - added commentary on version number system
1427 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1428 system supercedes it
1429 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1430 - added library version number to autoconf build
1431 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1432 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1450 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1452 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1453 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1455 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1456 uploading to device to fail
1458 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1460 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first

1464 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1465 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1467 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1468 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1469 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1470 exceptions leak into the C library code
1472 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1473 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1475 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1476 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1478 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1481 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1482 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1483 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1484 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1485 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1486 header of its own, in the case of email
1487 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1488 Record does not know the details of the packet
1489 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1490 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1491 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1492 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1493 the record format details, but does know the
1494 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1496 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1497 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1498 record formats being the same even with different
1499 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1500 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1501 See the header size of the email record after
1503 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1504 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1505 The Controller object does not know the format
1506 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1507 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1508 to talk to the device.
1509 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1511 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1513 - added sample hotplug scripts
1514 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1515 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1516 handle non-little-endian machines
1517 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1518 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1519 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1520 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1521 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1522 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1523 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1524 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1526 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1528 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1529 flags of individual blackberry device records
1530 - added endian macros throughout the code
1532 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1533 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1534 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1536 - removed slow sync functions for now
1538 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1539 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1540 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1541 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1542 the base classes for all exceptions
1543 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1544 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1546 - added to Contact record class:
1548 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1549 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1550 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1551 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1552 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1553 and upload it to a blackberry
1554 - updated src/.cvsignore
1556 - added parsing of service book fields:
1558 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1560 - old and new description
1562 - bes domain / domain
1563 - date change in legal.txt
1564 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1565 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1566 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1567 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1568 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1570 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1571 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1572 - added AUTHORS file
1573 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1574 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1575 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1577 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1578 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1580 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1600 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1601 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1602 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1622 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1623 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1624 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1625 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1626 throw exception in controller.cc
1627 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1628 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1629 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1630 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1631 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1632 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1633 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1649 - added boost::serialization to build
1650 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1651 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1652 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1653 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1654 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1656 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1665 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1666 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1669 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1670 optimize away protocol struct casts

1676 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1677 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1678 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1679 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1681 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1704 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1705 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1706 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1707 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1708 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1709 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1710 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1711 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1712 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1713 seem to need more time...)
1714 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1715 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1716 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1717 with Python, if used(?)
1718 - added Message class for Email records
1719 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1720 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1721 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1734 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1735 better suited to its general API purpose
1736 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1737 a public API function
1738 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1739 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1741 - added mode checks to Controller
1742 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1743 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1744 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1747 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1748 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1749 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1750 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1751 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1752 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1753 from the Command Table
1754 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1755 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1756 the Cassis spec more closely
1757 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1758 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1759 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1762 - added Doxyfile to the project
1764 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1765 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1766 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1768 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1769 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1770 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1771 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1772 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1773 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1774 less buffer than data copied
1775 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1776 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1777 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1778 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1780 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1781 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1783 - implemented socket::Close()
1784 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1785 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1786 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1788 - added .cvsignore files to project
1789 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1790 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1791 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1792 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1793 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1795 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1796 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1797 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1799 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1800 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1801 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1802 - regular debug output
1803 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1804 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1805 - raw data dump output
1806 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1807 numbers into english (limited success)
1808 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1809 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1810 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1811 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1812 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1813 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1814 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1815 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1816 for socket 0 operations.
1817 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1821 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1822 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1823 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1824 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1826 - syncberry tree started
