1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/06/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
5 the directory that contains it
6 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
8 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
10 - added beginnings of a build system test script
11 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
12 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
14 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
15 well as listing some network security concerns
17 - added modem reset workaround to web documentation page
18 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
19 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
20 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
21 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
22 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
23 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
24 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
25 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
27 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
28 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
29 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
30 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
33 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
34 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
35 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
36 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
37 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
38 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
39 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
40 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
42 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
43 - documentation updates:
44 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
45 - added instructions for building from tarball

95 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
96 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
98 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
99 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
100 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
101 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
102 such as with pppob...
103 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
104 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
105 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
106 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
107 order (no code change, only move)
108 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
109 possible to determine whether a program is using
110 threaded or non-threaded sockets
111 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
112 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
113 and updated the man page
114 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
115 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
118 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
119 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
120 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
121 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
122 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
123 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
124 IpModem endpoints are available
125 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
126 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
127 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
128 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
129 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,

132 to file instead of stderr
133 - added man page for pppob
135 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
136 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
138 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
141 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
142 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
143 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
144 I'm looking at you...)
145 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
146 if no command line arguments are specified
147 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
148 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
150 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
151 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
152 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
153 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
154 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
155 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
156 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
157 like a null terminated string... also added more
158 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
159 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
160 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
161 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
162 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
163 on database records, for testing
164 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
165 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
166 which completes builder support
167 Checksums from the following commands now match:
168 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
169 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
170 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
171 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
172 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
174 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
175 work again... Thanks!
176 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
179 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
180 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
181 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
184 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
187 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
188 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

314 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
316 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
317 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
319 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
320 to avoid the CVS directories
321 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
322 diff.gz and dsc files
323 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
324 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
327 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
328 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
329 real opensync libraries
331 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
332 building RPM's from CVS
333 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
334 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
335 on ./configure command line
337 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
338 so that the database name is stored as the first line
340 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
342 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
343 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
345 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
346 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
348 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
349 Paul Dugas for the tip
351 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
352 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
353 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
354 - updated AUTHORS file
356 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
357 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
358 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
359 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
360 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
361 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
362 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
363 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
365 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
366 - updated copyright statments for 2008
368 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
370 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
371 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
376 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
380 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
383 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
384 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
386 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
387 - added pause to maintainer release script
393 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
397 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
399 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
400 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
402 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
403 search by busname / devname
404 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
405 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
406 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
407 bus/device names, and updated the man page
408 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
409 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
410 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
411 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
412 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
413 spec file for opensuse
415 - added better error checking to breset
416 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
417 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
418 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
419 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
420 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
421 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
422 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
424 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
425 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
426 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
427 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
428 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
429 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
430 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
431 make applications look more capable, not less.
432 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
433 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
434 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
437 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
438 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
441 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
442 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
443 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
444 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
445 at the same time as usb_storage.
446 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
447 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
448 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
449 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
450 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
451 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
452 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
453 fail naturally on these devices.
454 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
456 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
457 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
459 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
460 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
462 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
464 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
465 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
466 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
467 that release package builds can be done faster
469 - opensync plugin fixes:
470 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
471 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
472 and keep track of the hierarchy when
473 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
474 - added support for searching for attributes only
475 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
476 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
478 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
479 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
480 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
481 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
482 ToBarry conversion results
483 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
485 - fixed typo in previous fix
487 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
488 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
489 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
494 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
498 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
499 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
501 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
502 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
503 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
504 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
506 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
507 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
509 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
510 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
511 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
512 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
513 without recompiling the kernel.
514 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
516 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
517 information in README files to html format, so that it
518 is commonly available on the web
519 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
520 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
522 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
523 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
526 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
527 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
528 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
529 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
530 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
531 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
532 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
533 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
534 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
535 explanatory document for various system requirements
536 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
538 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
539 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
540 for opensuse rpm builds
542 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
543 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
544 - fixed build target to i386
545 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
548 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
549 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
550 will be updated more frequently
552 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
553 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
554 configure scripts to support external build directories
555 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
556 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
557 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
558 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
559 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
562 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
563 parse the comma separated string into an array,
565 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
566 and will affect backward compatibility with
567 old serialization datafiles
568 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
569 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
571 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
572 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
574 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
575 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
576 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
577 - fixed in opensync plugin:
578 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
579 so added lower case conversion routine
580 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
581 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
582 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
583 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
585 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
586 - added status message to endpoint override
588 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
589 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
590 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
591 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
592 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
593 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
595 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
596 The description is now part of the probe results
597 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
598 a new attribute definition.
599 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
600 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
601 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
602 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
603 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
604 in order to better support SWIG and Python
606 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
607 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
608 settings automatically where possible
609 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
610 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
612 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
613 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
614 error.cc is now an empty shell
615 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
616 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
617 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
618 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
619 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
621 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
626 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
630 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
631 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
632 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
634 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
635 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
637 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
638 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
639 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
640 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
641 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
643 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
644 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
645 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
646 endian bug in the process)
647 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
648 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
649 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
650 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
651 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
652 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
653 - opensync-plugin/README update
654 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
655 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
656 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
658 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
660 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
663 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
664 for the broken-down name instead of N
665 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
666 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
667 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
668 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
669 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
670 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
671 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
672 registered two. Moving to single change commit
673 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
674 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
675 ease memory pressure in the library.
676 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
678 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
679 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
680 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
682 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
684 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
685 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
686 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
687 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
688 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
689 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
690 record into the device.... First/Last Name
691 fields are position sensitive, and the code
692 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
693 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
694 were not updated to handle the new field
695 table added for the postal address changes
698 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
699 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
700 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
701 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
702 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
703 UID strings, instead of just numbers
704 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
705 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
706 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
707 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
708 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
710 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
711 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
712 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
713 sync the wrong device and lose data.
714 Actions to take on new PIN:
715 - force slow_sync, or
717 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
718 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
719 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
720 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
722 - changed PIN error message number to hex
724 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
725 "Backup in progress..."
726 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
727 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
728 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
729 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
730 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
731 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
732 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
733 a new class called PostalAddress
734 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
735 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
736 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
737 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
739 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
741 - added vCard converter class
742 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
743 of empty attribute values and parameters,
744 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
745 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
746 an extra nth argument, in order to search
747 for multiple attributes with the same name...
748 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
749 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
750 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
753 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
754 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
755 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
756 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
760 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
761 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
762 new Barry ID would look like a new change
763 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
764 - added support for slow sync
765 - added clear() to idmap class
766 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
767 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
768 - added Notification time support
769 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
770 does not exist in a vformat data block
771 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
772 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
773 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
774 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
775 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
776 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
777 special cases in the future
779 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
781 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
782 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
783 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
785 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
786 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
787 library API that is not yet finished... will be
788 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
789 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
791 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
792 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
793 the goal is to be able to do:
794 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
796 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
797 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
798 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
799 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
801 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
802 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
804 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
806 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
807 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
809 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
810 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
811 in general use will not break on build
812 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
813 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
814 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
816 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
818 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
819 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
820 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
821 SetIds() is already there
822 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
823 and moved into record.h
824 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
826 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
827 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
828 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
829 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
831 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
833 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
834 - changes to PIN message patch:
835 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
836 - fixed tab alignment throughout
837 - removed typedef from Address struct
838 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
839 going to be a standalone type
840 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
841 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
842 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
843 backing on a field for other use
844 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
845 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
846 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
847 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
848 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
849 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
850 PIN Message so that we store both of these
853 - added item to gui/TODO
854 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
856 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
857 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
858 modified to split into the new separate files system
859 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
860 - reformatted the code to match coding style
862 - added copyright notice
863 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
864 - placed in Barry namespace
865 - added #ifdef header protectors
866 - added new files to Makefile.am
867 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
868 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
869 Brian Edginton's patch
870 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
871 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
874 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
875 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
879 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
880 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
881 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
882 linker errors with the new file layout
884 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
885 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
886 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
888 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
889 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
890 and added a command line option to turn
891 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
892 - command line option --help now also works
893 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
894 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
895 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
896 localizing the constants in one place
898 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
899 fields in Contact and Calendar records
900 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
901 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
902 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
903 Outlook from the comments.
904 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
905 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
906 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
907 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
908 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
913 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
914 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
917 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
918 based on the example plugin in the opensync
919 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
923 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
924 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
925 and then success afterward
926 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
927 - added item to gui's todo list
928 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
932 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
936 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
937 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
939 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
940 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
941 - updated maintainer/README
942 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
944 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
945 - bumped release number in barry.spec
948 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
949 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
950 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
951 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
953 - added development note to README
955 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
958 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
959 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
962 - removed some unneeded trace logs
963 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
965 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
966 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
968 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
969 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
971 - opensync module work:
972 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
973 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
974 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
975 a hard coded calendar record state table
976 - added lots of logging throughout
977 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
978 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
979 causing another sync on the next run
980 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
981 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
982 written to the Blackberry
983 - more opensync module work:
984 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
985 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
986 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
987 the environment classes
988 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
989 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
991 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
992 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
993 a sample configuration
994 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
995 on success (opensync module)
996 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
997 - allowed comments in the config file
998 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
999 routines are not available from the plugin side
1002 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1003 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1004 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1005 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1006 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1007 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1008 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1009 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1010 and the old search didn't always work
1011 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1012 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1013 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1014 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1015 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1016 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1017 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1018 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1019 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1021 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1022 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1023 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1025 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1026 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1028 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1030 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1031 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1033 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1035 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1037 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1038 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1039 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1040 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1041 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1042 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1043 this special case, without relying on string length.
1044 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1045 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1046 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1048 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1050 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1051 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1052 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1053 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1054 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1055 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1056 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1057 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1058 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1060 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1061 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1063 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1064 udev rules for the Pearl
1065 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1067 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1068 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1069 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1070 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1071 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1072 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1073 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1074 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1075 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1076 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1077 - added license file to each package
1078 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1081 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1082 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1084 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1085 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1086 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1088 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1089 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1090 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1091 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1092 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1093 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1094 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1095 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1096 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1098 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1099 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1105 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1108 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1110 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1111 device discovery code
1112 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1113 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1114 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1115 than are really available... in this case, let's
1116 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1117 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1118 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1119 - ReleaseChecklist update
1120 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1121 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1124 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1125 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1127 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1128 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1129 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1130 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1131 no databases selected in configuration
1132 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1133 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1134 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1135 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1136 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1138 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1139 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1140 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1141 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1142 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1143 -v now controls this as well
1144 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1145 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1146 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1147 the beginning of USB conversations
1148 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1149 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1150 its sequence number behaviour
1151 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1152 socket 0 level command
1153 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1154 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1155 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1156 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1157 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1158 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1159 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1160 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1161 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1162 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1163 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1164 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1165 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1167 - updated controller.cc:
1168 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1169 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1170 selecting modes, as it should use the
1171 socket 0 sequence number
1172 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1173 - updated some .cvsignore files
1175 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1176 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1181 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1182 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1183 new PasswordChallenge struct
1184 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1185 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1186 password hashing logic.
1187 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1189 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1190 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1191 - major LDIF overhaul:
1192 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1194 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1195 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1196 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1198 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1200 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1201 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1203 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1204 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1205 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1206 - large update to btool manpage
1207 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1209 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1210 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1211 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1212 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1213 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1214 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1215 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1216 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1217 instead of hardcoding it.
1219 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1220 - minor tweaks to README
1221 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1222 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1223 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1224 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1225 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1226 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1227 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1229 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1230 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1231 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1232 - added iomanip to debug.h
1233 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1234 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1237 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1238 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1239 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1240 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1243 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1244 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1246 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1248 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1249 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1250 one base class: Barry::Error
1251 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1252 - added BadPassword exception
1258 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1259 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1260 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1261 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1262 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1263 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1264 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1266 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1267 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1268 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1269 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1270 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1271 due to pending reads
1273 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1274 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1276 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1277 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1278 - iostream output size fixes
1279 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1280 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1281 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1282 this is still experimental
1283 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1284 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1286 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1287 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1288 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1289 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1291 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1292 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1293 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1294 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1295 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1296 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1297 and record objects that use it.
1298 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1299 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1301 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1302 This returns the default rectype that should work
1303 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1304 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1305 records, this info would be good to know.
1306 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1307 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1308 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1309 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1310 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1311 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1312 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1313 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1314 - backup GUI updates:
1315 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1316 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1317 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1318 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1319 i.e. Backup or Restore
1320 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1321 it appears to be read-only on the device
1322 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1323 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1324 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1325 supported now by the library
1327 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1328 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1330 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1331 using the library should not care about endianness
1332 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1333 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1335 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1337 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1338 Version call instead
1339 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1341 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1342 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1343 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1345 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1346 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1347 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1349 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1350 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1351 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1352 through btool, for development
1353 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1354 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1355 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1356 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1357 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1358 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1359 exceptions need to be handled with
1360 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1361 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1362 - added pending gui/TODO items
1364 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1365 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1366 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1367 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1368 when we try to write to it)
1369 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1371 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1373 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1374 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1375 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1376 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1377 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1379 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1380 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1381 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1382 backups only at this point
1384 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1385 - added version API, returning version number and string
1386 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1387 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1388 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1389 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1391 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1392 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1394 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1395 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1396 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1397 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1399 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1401 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1403 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1404 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1406 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1408 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1409 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1411 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1412 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1413 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1414 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1415 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1416 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1418 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1419 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1420 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1422 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1423 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1424 a future Debian install
1425 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1426 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1427 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1428 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1430 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1431 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1432 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1433 - fixed more endian issues
1434 - minor update to TODO
1436 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1437 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1439 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1440 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1441 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1442 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1444 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1445 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1446 on old build system if wanted
1447 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1448 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1449 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1450 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1451 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1452 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1454 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1455 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1456 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1457 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1458 properly when installed standalone
1459 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1460 installed barry library
1461 - added commentary on version number system
1462 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1463 system supercedes it
1464 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1465 - added library version number to autoconf build
1466 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1467 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1485 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1487 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1488 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1490 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1491 uploading to device to fail
1493 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1495 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1496 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1497 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1498 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1499 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1500 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1502 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1503 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1504 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1505 exceptions leak into the C library code
1507 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1510 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1511 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1513 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1516 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1517 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1518 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1519 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1520 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1521 header of its own, in the case of email
1522 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1523 Record does not know the details of the packet
1524 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1525 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1526 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1527 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1528 the record format details, but does know the
1529 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1531 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1532 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1533 record formats being the same even with different
1534 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1535 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1536 See the header size of the email record after
1538 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1539 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1540 The Controller object does not know the format
1541 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1542 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1543 to talk to the device.
1544 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1546 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1548 - added sample hotplug scripts
1549 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1550 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1551 handle non-little-endian machines
1552 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1553 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1554 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1555 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1556 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1557 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1558 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1559 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1561 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1563 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1564 flags of individual blackberry device records
1565 - added endian macros throughout the code
1567 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1568 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1569 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1571 - removed slow sync functions for now
1573 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1574 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1575 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1576 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1577 the base classes for all exceptions
1578 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1579 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1581 - added to Contact record class:
1583 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1584 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1585 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1587 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1588 and upload it to a blackberry
1589 - updated src/.cvsignore
1591 - added parsing of service book fields:
1593 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1595 - old and new description
1597 - bes domain / domain
1598 - date change in legal.txt
1599 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1600 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1601 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1602 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1603 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1605 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1606 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1607 - added AUTHORS file
1608 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1609 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1610 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1612 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1613 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1615 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1617 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1618 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1619 to the Controller class
1620 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1621 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1622 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1623 support of the template Controller functions
1624 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1625 returning errors properly

1627 of Controller template member usage
1629 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1631 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1632 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1635 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1636 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1637 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1651 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1652 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1653 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1654 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1655 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1657 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1658 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1659 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1660 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1661 throw exception in controller.cc
1662 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1663 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1664 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1665 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1666 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1667 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1668 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1669 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1672 - added autoconf to Todo list
1673 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1674 be reused for upload and download
1675 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1676 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1677 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data

1684 - added boost::serialization to build
1685 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1686 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1687 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1688 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1689 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1691 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1692 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1693 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1694 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1696 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc

1700 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1701 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1704 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1705 optimize away protocol struct casts

1711 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1712 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1713 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1714 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1716 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1717 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1719 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage

1735 - added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
1736 - added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
1737 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1739 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1740 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1741 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1742 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1743 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1744 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1745 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1746 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1747 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1748 seem to need more time...)
1749 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1750 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1751 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1752 with Python, if used(?)
1753 - added Message class for Email records
1754 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1755 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1756 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1768 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1769 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1770 better suited to its general API purpose
1771 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1772 a public API function
1773 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1774 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1776 - added mode checks to Controller
1777 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1778 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1779 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1782 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1783 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1784 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1785 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1786 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1787 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1788 from the Command Table
1789 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1790 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1791 the Cassis spec more closely
1792 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1793 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1794 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1797 - added Doxyfile to the project
1799 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1800 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1801 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1803 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1804 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1805 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1806 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1807 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1808 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1809 less buffer than data copied
1810 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1811 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1812 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1813 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1815 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1816 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1818 - implemented socket::Close()
1819 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1820 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1821 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1823 - added .cvsignore files to project
1824 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1825 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1826 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1827 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1828 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1830 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1831 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1832 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1834 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1835 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1836 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1837 - regular debug output
1838 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1839 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1840 - raw data dump output
1841 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1842 numbers into english (limited success)
1843 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1844 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1845 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1846 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1847 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1848 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1849 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1850 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1851 for socket 0 operations.
1852 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1856 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1857 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1858 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1859 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1861 - syncberry tree started
