2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added "known issues" section to main www doc page
5 - fixed virtual function mis-name bug in btool's null parser
6 - added -i option to brecsum, to include record IDs in the sums
7 - applied Ashley Willis's btool 0.12 null parser patch to CVS, which
8 required some manual porting changes...
9 - removed bool reference argument in GetParser()
11 - applied Ashley Willis's perlbarry package, putting it in the
12 new contrib/ directory
14 - now that btool patch is applied, don't need it in contrib
16 - updated udev rules to recognize devices with the 8004 Product ID
17 - fixed bug in test/buildtest.sh when opensync is not pre-built
18 - fixed more lintian warnings on Ubuntu
19 - fixed tiny subheadings in modem web document
20 - added syncing howto web document
21 - updated TODO list, adding Troubleshooting item, and morphing
22 the modem item into the RPC daemon item
23 - moved old doc/TroubleShooting.txt document to web, and updated
25 - added tip to sync web docs, for using DebugMode on hangs
27 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
28 the directory that contains it
29 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
31 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
32 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
33 headers, as it is an internal header only
34 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
35 - added -j option to make to speed builds
36 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
38 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
39 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
40 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
41 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
42 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
43 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
45 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
46 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
48 - added beginnings of a build system test script
49 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
50 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
52 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
53 well as listing some network security concerns

65 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
66 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
67 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering

71 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
72 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
73 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
74 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
75 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
76 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
77 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
78 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
80 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
81 - documentation updates:
82 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
83 - added instructions for building from tarball

110 script to set permissions
111 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
113 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc

115 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
117 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
120 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,

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

352 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
354 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
355 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
357 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
358 to avoid the CVS directories
359 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
360 diff.gz and dsc files
361 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
362 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
365 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
366 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
367 real opensync libraries
369 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
370 building RPM's from CVS
371 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
372 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
373 on ./configure command line
375 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
376 so that the database name is stored as the first line
378 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
380 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
381 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
383 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
384 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
386 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
387 Paul Dugas for the tip
389 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
390 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
391 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
392 - updated AUTHORS file
394 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
395 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
396 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
397 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
398 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
399 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
400 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
401 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
403 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
404 - updated copyright statments for 2008
406 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
408 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
409 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
414 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
418 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
421 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
422 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
424 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
425 - added pause to maintainer release script
431 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
435 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
437 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
438 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
440 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
441 search by busname / devname
442 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
443 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
444 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
445 bus/device names, and updated the man page
446 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
447 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
448 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
449 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
450 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
451 spec file for opensuse
453 - added better error checking to breset
454 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
455 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
456 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
457 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
458 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
459 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
460 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
462 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
463 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
464 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
465 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
466 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
467 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
468 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
469 make applications look more capable, not less.
470 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
471 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
472 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
475 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
476 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
479 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
480 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
481 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
482 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
483 at the same time as usb_storage.
484 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
485 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
486 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
487 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
488 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
489 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
490 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
491 fail naturally on these devices.
492 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
494 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
495 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
497 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
498 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
500 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
502 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
503 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
504 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
505 that release package builds can be done faster
507 - opensync plugin fixes:
508 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
509 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
510 and keep track of the hierarchy when
511 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
512 - added support for searching for attributes only
513 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
514 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
516 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
517 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
518 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
519 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
520 ToBarry conversion results
521 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
523 - fixed typo in previous fix
525 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
526 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
527 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
532 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
536 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
537 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
539 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
540 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
541 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
542 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
544 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
545 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
547 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
548 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
549 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
550 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
551 without recompiling the kernel.
552 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
554 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
555 information in README files to html format, so that it
556 is commonly available on the web
557 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
558 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
560 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
561 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
564 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
565 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
566 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
567 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
568 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
569 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
570 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
571 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
572 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
573 explanatory document for various system requirements
574 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
576 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
577 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
578 for opensuse rpm builds
580 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
581 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
582 - fixed build target to i386
583 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
586 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
587 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
588 will be updated more frequently
590 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
591 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
592 configure scripts to support external build directories
593 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
594 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
595 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
596 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
597 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
600 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
601 parse the comma separated string into an array,
603 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
604 and will affect backward compatibility with
605 old serialization datafiles
606 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
607 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
609 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
610 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
612 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
613 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
614 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
615 - fixed in opensync plugin:
616 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
617 so added lower case conversion routine
618 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
619 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
620 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
621 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
623 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
624 - added status message to endpoint override
626 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
627 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
628 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
629 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
630 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
631 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
633 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
634 The description is now part of the probe results
635 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
636 a new attribute definition.
637 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
638 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
639 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
640 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
641 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
642 in order to better support SWIG and Python
644 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
645 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
646 settings automatically where possible
647 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
648 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
650 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
651 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
652 error.cc is now an empty shell
653 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
654 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
655 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
656 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
657 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
659 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
664 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
668 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
669 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
670 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
672 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
673 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
675 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
676 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
677 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
678 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
679 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
681 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
682 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
683 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
684 endian bug in the process)
685 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
686 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
687 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
688 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
689 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
690 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
691 - opensync-plugin/README update
692 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
693 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
694 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
696 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
698 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
701 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
702 for the broken-down name instead of N
703 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
704 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
705 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
706 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
707 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
708 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
709 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
710 registered two. Moving to single change commit
711 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
712 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
713 ease memory pressure in the library.
714 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
716 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
717 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
718 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
720 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
722 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
723 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
724 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
725 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
726 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
727 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
728 record into the device.... First/Last Name
729 fields are position sensitive, and the code
730 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
731 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
732 were not updated to handle the new field
733 table added for the postal address changes
736 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
737 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
738 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
739 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
740 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
741 UID strings, instead of just numbers
742 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
743 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
744 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
745 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
746 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
748 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
749 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
750 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
751 sync the wrong device and lose data.
752 Actions to take on new PIN:
753 - force slow_sync, or
755 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
756 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
757 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
758 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
760 - changed PIN error message number to hex
762 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
763 "Backup in progress..."
764 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
765 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
766 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
767 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
768 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
769 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
770 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
771 a new class called PostalAddress
772 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
773 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
774 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
775 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
777 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
779 - added vCard converter class
780 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
781 of empty attribute values and parameters,
782 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
783 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
784 an extra nth argument, in order to search
785 for multiple attributes with the same name...
786 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
787 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
788 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
791 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
792 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
793 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
794 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
798 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
799 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
800 new Barry ID would look like a new change
801 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
802 - added support for slow sync
803 - added clear() to idmap class
804 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
805 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
806 - added Notification time support
807 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
808 does not exist in a vformat data block
809 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
810 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
811 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
812 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
813 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
814 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
815 special cases in the future
817 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
819 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
820 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
821 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
823 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
824 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
825 library API that is not yet finished... will be
826 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
827 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
829 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
830 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
831 the goal is to be able to do:
832 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
834 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
835 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
836 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
837 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
839 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
840 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
842 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
844 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
845 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
847 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
848 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
849 in general use will not break on build
850 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
851 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
852 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
854 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
856 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
857 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
858 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
859 SetIds() is already there
860 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
861 and moved into record.h
862 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
864 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
865 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
866 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
867 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
869 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
871 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
872 - changes to PIN message patch:
873 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
874 - fixed tab alignment throughout
875 - removed typedef from Address struct
876 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
877 going to be a standalone type
878 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
879 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
880 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
881 backing on a field for other use
882 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
883 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
884 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
885 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
886 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
887 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
888 PIN Message so that we store both of these
891 - added item to gui/TODO
892 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
894 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
895 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
896 modified to split into the new separate files system
897 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
898 - reformatted the code to match coding style
900 - added copyright notice
901 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
902 - placed in Barry namespace
903 - added #ifdef header protectors
904 - added new files to Makefile.am
905 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
906 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
907 Brian Edginton's patch
908 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
909 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
912 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
913 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
917 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
918 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
919 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
920 linker errors with the new file layout
922 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
923 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
924 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
926 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
927 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
928 and added a command line option to turn
929 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
930 - command line option --help now also works
931 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
932 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
933 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
934 localizing the constants in one place
936 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
937 fields in Contact and Calendar records
938 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
939 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
940 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
941 Outlook from the comments.
942 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
943 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
944 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
945 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
946 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
951 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
952 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
955 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
956 based on the example plugin in the opensync
957 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
961 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
962 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
963 and then success afterward
964 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
965 - added item to gui's todo list
966 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
970 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
974 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
975 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
977 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

979 - updated maintainer/README
980 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
982 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
983 - bumped release number in barry.spec
986 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
987 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
988 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
989 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
991 - added development note to README
993 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
996 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
997 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
1000 - removed some unneeded trace logs
1001 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
1003 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1004 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1006 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1007 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1009 - opensync module work:
1010 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1011 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1012 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1013 a hard coded calendar record state table
1014 - added lots of logging throughout
1015 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1016 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1017 causing another sync on the next run
1018 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1019 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1020 written to the Blackberry
1021 - more opensync module work:
1022 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1023 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1024 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1025 the environment classes
1026 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1027 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1029 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1030 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1031 a sample configuration
1032 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1033 on success (opensync module)
1034 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1035 - allowed comments in the config file
1036 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1037 routines are not available from the plugin side
1040 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1041 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1042 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1043 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1044 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1045 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1046 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1047 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1048 and the old search didn't always work
1049 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1050 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1051 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1052 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1053 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1054 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1055 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1056 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1057 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1059 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1060 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1061 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1063 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1064 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1066 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1068 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1069 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1071 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1073 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1075 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1076 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1077 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1078 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1079 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1080 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1081 this special case, without relying on string length.
1082 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1083 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1084 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1086 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1088 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1089 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1090 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1091 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1092 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1093 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1094 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1095 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1096 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1098 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1099 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1101 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1102 udev rules for the Pearl
1103 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1105 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1106 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1107 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1108 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1109 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1110 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1111 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1112 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1113 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1114 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1115 - added license file to each package
1116 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1119 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1120 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1122 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1123 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1124 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1126 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1127 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1128 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1129 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1130 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1131 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1132 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1133 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1134 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1136 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1137 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1143 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1146 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1148 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1149 device discovery code
1150 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1151 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1152 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1153 than are really available... in this case, let's
1154 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1155 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1156 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1157 - ReleaseChecklist update
1158 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1159 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1162 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1163 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1165 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1166 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1167 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1168 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1169 no databases selected in configuration
1170 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1171 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1172 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1173 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1174 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1176 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1177 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1178 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1179 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1180 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1181 -v now controls this as well
1182 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1183 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1184 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1185 the beginning of USB conversations
1186 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1187 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1188 its sequence number behaviour
1189 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1190 socket 0 level command
1191 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1192 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1193 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1194 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1195 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1196 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1197 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1198 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1199 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1200 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1201 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1202 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1203 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1205 - updated controller.cc:
1206 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1207 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1208 selecting modes, as it should use the
1209 socket 0 sequence number
1210 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1211 - updated some .cvsignore files
1213 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1214 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1219 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1220 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1221 new PasswordChallenge struct
1222 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1223 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1224 password hashing logic.
1225 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1227 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1228 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1229 - major LDIF overhaul:
1230 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1232 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1233 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1234 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1236 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1238 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1239 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1241 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1242 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1243 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1244 - large update to btool manpage
1245 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1247 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1248 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1249 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1250 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1251 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1252 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1253 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1254 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1255 instead of hardcoding it.
1257 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1258 - minor tweaks to README
1259 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1260 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1261 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1262 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1263 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1264 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1265 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1267 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1268 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1269 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1270 - added iomanip to debug.h
1271 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1272 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1275 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1276 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1277 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1278 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1281 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1282 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1284 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1286 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1287 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1288 one base class: Barry::Error
1289 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1290 - added BadPassword exception
1296 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1297 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1298 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1299 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1300 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1301 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1302 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1304 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1305 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1306 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1307 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1308 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1309 due to pending reads
1311 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1312 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1314 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1315 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1316 - iostream output size fixes
1317 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1318 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1319 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1320 this is still experimental
1321 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1322 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1324 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1325 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1326 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1327 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1329 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1330 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1331 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1332 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1333 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1334 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1335 and record objects that use it.
1336 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1337 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1339 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1340 This returns the default rectype that should work
1341 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1342 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1343 records, this info would be good to know.
1344 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1345 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1346 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1347 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1348 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1349 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1350 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1351 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1352 - backup GUI updates:
1353 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1354 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1355 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1356 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1357 i.e. Backup or Restore
1358 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1359 it appears to be read-only on the device
1360 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1361 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1362 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1363 supported now by the library
1365 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1366 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1368 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1369 using the library should not care about endianness
1370 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1371 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1373 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1375 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1376 Version call instead
1377 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1379 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1380 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1381 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1383 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1384 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1385 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1387 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1388 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1389 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1390 through btool, for development
1391 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1392 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1393 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1394 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1395 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1396 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1397 exceptions need to be handled with
1398 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1399 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1400 - added pending gui/TODO items
1402 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1403 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1404 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1405 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1406 when we try to write to it)
1407 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1409 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1411 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1412 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1413 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1414 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1415 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1417 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1418 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1419 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1420 backups only at this point
1422 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1423 - added version API, returning version number and string
1424 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1425 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1426 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1427 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1429 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1430 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1432 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1433 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1434 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1435 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1437 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1439 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1441 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1442 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1444 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1446 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1447 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1449 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1450 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1451 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1452 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1453 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1454 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1456 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1457 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1458 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1460 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1461 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1462 a future Debian install
1463 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1464 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1465 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1466 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1468 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1469 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1470 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1471 - fixed more endian issues
1472 - minor update to TODO
1474 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1475 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1477 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1478 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1479 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1480 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1482 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1483 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1484 on old build system if wanted
1485 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1486 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1487 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1488 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1489 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1490 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1492 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1493 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1494 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1495 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1496 properly when installed standalone
1497 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1498 installed barry library
1499 - added commentary on version number system
1500 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1501 system supercedes it

1523 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1525 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1526 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1528 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1529 uploading to device to fail
1531 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1533 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1534 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1535 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1536 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1537 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1538 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1540 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1541 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1542 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1543 exceptions leak into the C library code
1545 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1546 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1548 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1549 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1551 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1554 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1555 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1556 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1557 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1558 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1559 header of its own, in the case of email
1560 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1561 Record does not know the details of the packet
1562 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1563 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1564 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1565 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1566 the record format details, but does know the
1567 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1569 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1570 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1571 record formats being the same even with different
1572 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1573 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1574 See the header size of the email record after
1576 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1577 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1578 The Controller object does not know the format
1579 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1580 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1581 to talk to the device.
1582 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1584 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1586 - added sample hotplug scripts
1587 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1588 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1589 handle non-little-endian machines
1590 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1591 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1592 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1593 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1594 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1595 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1596 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1597 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1599 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1601 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1602 flags of individual blackberry device records
1603 - added endian macros throughout the code
1605 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1606 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1607 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1609 - removed slow sync functions for now
1611 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1612 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1613 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1614 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1615 the base classes for all exceptions
1616 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1617 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1619 - added to Contact record class:
1621 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1622 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1623 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1626 and upload it to a blackberry
1627 - updated src/.cvsignore
1629 - added parsing of service book fields:
1631 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1633 - old and new description
1635 - bes domain / domain
1636 - date change in legal.txt
1637 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1638 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1639 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1640 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1641 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1643 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1644 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1645 - added AUTHORS file
1646 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1647 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1648 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1650 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1651 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf

1665 of Controller template member usage
1667 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1669 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1670 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1673 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1674 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1675 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1687 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1688 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1689 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1690 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1691 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1692 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1693 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1695 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1696 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1697 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1698 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1699 throw exception in controller.cc
1700 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1701 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1702 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1703 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1704 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1705 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1706 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1707 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1722 - added boost::serialization to build
1723 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1724 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1725 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1726 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1727 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1729 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1730 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1731 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld

1738 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1739 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1742 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1743 optimize away protocol struct casts

1749 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1750 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1751 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1752 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1754 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1777 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1778 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1779 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1780 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1781 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1782 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1783 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1784 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1785 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1786 seem to need more time...)
1787 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1788 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1789 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1790 with Python, if used(?)
1791 - added Message class for Email records
1792 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1793 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1794 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1795 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1796 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1797 - cleaned up comments
1798 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
1799 - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
1800 - added Makefile.conf
1801 - added copyright notices to source files
1802 - added COPYING file with GPL
1803 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1804 store object pointers
1805 - added doxygen docs
1806 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1807 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1808 better suited to its general API purpose
1809 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1810 a public API function
1811 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1812 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1814 - added mode checks to Controller
1815 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1816 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1817 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1820 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1821 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1822 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1823 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1824 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1825 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1826 from the Command Table
1827 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1828 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1829 the Cassis spec more closely
1830 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1831 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1832 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1835 - added Doxyfile to the project
1837 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1838 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1839 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1841 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1842 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1843 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1844 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1845 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1846 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1847 less buffer than data copied
1848 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1849 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1850 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1851 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1853 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1854 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1856 - implemented socket::Close()
1857 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1858 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1859 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1861 - added .cvsignore files to project
1862 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1863 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1864 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1865 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1866 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1868 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1869 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1870 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1872 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1873 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1874 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1875 - regular debug output
1876 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1877 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1878 - raw data dump output
1879 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1880 numbers into english (limited success)
1881 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1882 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1883 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1884 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1885 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1886 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1887 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1888 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1889 for socket 0 operations.
1890 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1894 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1895 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1896 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1897 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1899 - syncberry tree started
