1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/06/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
5 well as listing some network security concerns
7 - added modem reset workaround to web documentation page
8 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
9 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
10 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
11 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
12 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
13 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
14 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
15 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
17 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
18 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
19 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
20 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
23 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
24 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
25 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
26 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
27 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
28 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
29 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
30 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
32 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
33 - documentation updates:

52 and updated the build process to support them.
53 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
54 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
55 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
56 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc

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

306 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
307 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
309 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
310 to avoid the CVS directories
311 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
312 diff.gz and dsc files
313 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
314 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
317 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
318 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
319 real opensync libraries
321 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
322 building RPM's from CVS
323 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
324 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
325 on ./configure command line
327 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
328 so that the database name is stored as the first line
330 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
332 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
333 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
335 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
336 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
338 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
339 Paul Dugas for the tip
341 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
342 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
343 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
344 - updated AUTHORS file
346 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
347 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
348 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
349 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
350 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
351 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
352 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
353 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
355 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
356 - updated copyright statments for 2008
358 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
360 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
361 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
366 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
370 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
373 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
374 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
376 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
377 - added pause to maintainer release script
383 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
387 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
389 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
390 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
392 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
393 search by busname / devname
394 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
395 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
396 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
397 bus/device names, and updated the man page
398 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
399 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
400 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
401 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
402 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
403 spec file for opensuse
405 - added better error checking to breset
406 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
407 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
408 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
409 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
410 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
411 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
412 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
414 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
415 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
416 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
417 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
418 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
419 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
420 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
421 make applications look more capable, not less.
422 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
423 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
424 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
427 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
428 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
431 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
432 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
433 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
434 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
435 at the same time as usb_storage.
436 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
437 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
438 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
439 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
440 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
441 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
442 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
443 fail naturally on these devices.
444 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
446 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
447 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
449 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
450 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
452 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
454 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
455 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
456 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
457 that release package builds can be done faster
459 - opensync plugin fixes:
460 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
461 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
462 and keep track of the hierarchy when
463 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
464 - added support for searching for attributes only
465 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
466 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
468 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
469 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
470 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
471 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
472 ToBarry conversion results
473 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
475 - fixed typo in previous fix
477 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
478 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
479 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
484 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
488 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
489 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
491 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
492 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
493 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
494 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
496 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
497 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
499 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
500 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
501 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
502 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
503 without recompiling the kernel.
504 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
506 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
507 information in README files to html format, so that it
508 is commonly available on the web
509 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
510 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
512 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
513 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
516 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
517 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
518 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
519 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
520 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
521 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
522 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
523 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
524 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
525 explanatory document for various system requirements
526 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
528 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
529 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
530 for opensuse rpm builds
532 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
533 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
534 - fixed build target to i386
535 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
538 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
539 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
540 will be updated more frequently
542 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
543 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
544 configure scripts to support external build directories
545 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
546 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
547 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
548 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
549 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
552 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
553 parse the comma separated string into an array,
555 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
556 and will affect backward compatibility with
557 old serialization datafiles
558 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
559 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
561 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
562 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
564 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
565 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
566 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
567 - fixed in opensync plugin:
568 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
569 so added lower case conversion routine
570 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
571 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
572 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
573 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
575 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
576 - added status message to endpoint override
578 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
579 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
580 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
581 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
582 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
583 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
585 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
586 The description is now part of the probe results
587 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
588 a new attribute definition.
589 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
590 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
591 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
592 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
593 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
594 in order to better support SWIG and Python
596 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
597 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
598 settings automatically where possible
599 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
600 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
602 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
603 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
604 error.cc is now an empty shell
605 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
606 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
607 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
608 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
609 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
611 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
616 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
620 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
621 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
622 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
624 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
625 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
627 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
628 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
629 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
630 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
631 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
633 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
634 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
635 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
636 endian bug in the process)
637 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
638 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
639 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
640 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
641 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
642 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
643 - opensync-plugin/README update
644 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
645 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
646 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
648 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
650 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
653 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
654 for the broken-down name instead of N
655 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
656 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
657 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
658 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
659 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
660 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
661 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
662 registered two. Moving to single change commit
663 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
664 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
665 ease memory pressure in the library.
666 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
668 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
669 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
670 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
672 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
674 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
675 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
676 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
677 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
678 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
679 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
680 record into the device.... First/Last Name
681 fields are position sensitive, and the code
682 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
683 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
684 were not updated to handle the new field
685 table added for the postal address changes
688 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
689 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
690 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
691 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
692 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
693 UID strings, instead of just numbers
694 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
695 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
696 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
697 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
698 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
700 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
701 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
702 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
703 sync the wrong device and lose data.
704 Actions to take on new PIN:
705 - force slow_sync, or
707 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
708 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
709 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
710 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
712 - changed PIN error message number to hex
714 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
715 "Backup in progress..."
716 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
717 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
718 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
719 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
720 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
721 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
722 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
723 a new class called PostalAddress
724 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
725 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
726 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
727 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
729 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
731 - added vCard converter class
732 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
733 of empty attribute values and parameters,
734 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
735 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
736 an extra nth argument, in order to search
737 for multiple attributes with the same name...
738 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
739 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
740 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
743 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
744 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
745 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
746 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
750 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
751 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
752 new Barry ID would look like a new change
753 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
754 - added support for slow sync
755 - added clear() to idmap class
756 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
757 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
758 - added Notification time support
759 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
760 does not exist in a vformat data block
761 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
762 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
763 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
764 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
765 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
766 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
767 special cases in the future
769 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
771 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
772 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
773 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
775 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
776 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
777 library API that is not yet finished... will be
778 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
779 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
781 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
782 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
783 the goal is to be able to do:
784 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
786 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
787 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
788 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
789 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
791 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
792 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
794 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
796 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
797 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
799 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
800 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
801 in general use will not break on build
802 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
803 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
804 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
806 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
808 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
809 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
810 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
811 SetIds() is already there
812 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
813 and moved into record.h
814 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
816 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
817 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
818 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
819 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
821 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
823 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
824 - changes to PIN message patch:
825 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
826 - fixed tab alignment throughout
827 - removed typedef from Address struct
828 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
829 going to be a standalone type
830 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
831 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
832 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
833 backing on a field for other use
834 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
835 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
836 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
837 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
838 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
839 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
840 PIN Message so that we store both of these
843 - added item to gui/TODO
844 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
846 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
847 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
848 modified to split into the new separate files system
849 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
850 - reformatted the code to match coding style
852 - added copyright notice
853 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
854 - placed in Barry namespace
855 - added #ifdef header protectors
856 - added new files to Makefile.am
857 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
858 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
859 Brian Edginton's patch
860 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
861 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
864 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
865 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
869 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
870 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
871 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
872 linker errors with the new file layout
874 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
875 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
876 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
878 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
879 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
880 and added a command line option to turn
881 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
882 - command line option --help now also works
883 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
884 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
885 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
886 localizing the constants in one place
888 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
889 fields in Contact and Calendar records
890 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
891 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
892 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
893 Outlook from the comments.
894 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
895 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
896 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
897 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
898 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
903 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
904 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
907 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
908 based on the example plugin in the opensync
909 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
913 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
914 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
915 and then success afterward
916 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
917 - added item to gui's todo list
918 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
922 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
926 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
927 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
929 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
930 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
931 - updated maintainer/README
932 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
934 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
935 - bumped release number in barry.spec
938 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
939 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
940 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
941 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
943 - added development note to README
945 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
948 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
949 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
952 - removed some unneeded trace logs
953 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
955 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
956 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
958 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
959 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
961 - opensync module work:
962 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
963 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
964 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
965 a hard coded calendar record state table
966 - added lots of logging throughout
967 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
968 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
969 causing another sync on the next run
970 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
971 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
972 written to the Blackberry
973 - more opensync module work:
974 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
975 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
976 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
977 the environment classes
978 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
979 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
981 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
982 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
983 a sample configuration
984 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
985 on success (opensync module)
986 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
987 - allowed comments in the config file
988 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
989 routines are not available from the plugin side
992 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
993 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
994 only use idProduct, and updated man page
995 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
996 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
997 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
998 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
999 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1000 and the old search didn't always work
1001 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1002 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1003 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1004 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1005 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1006 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1007 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1008 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1009 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1011 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1012 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1013 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1015 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1016 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1018 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1020 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1021 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1023 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1025 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1027 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1028 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1029 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1030 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1031 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1032 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1033 this special case, without relying on string length.
1034 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1035 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1036 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1038 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1040 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1041 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1042 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1043 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1044 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1045 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1046 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1047 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1048 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1050 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1051 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1053 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1054 udev rules for the Pearl
1055 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1057 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1058 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1059 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1060 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1061 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1062 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1063 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1064 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1065 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1066 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1067 - added license file to each package
1068 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1071 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1072 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1074 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1075 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1076 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1078 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1079 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1080 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1081 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1082 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1083 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1084 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1085 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1086 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1088 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1089 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1095 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1098 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1100 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1101 device discovery code
1102 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1103 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1104 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1105 than are really available... in this case, let's
1106 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1107 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1108 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1109 - ReleaseChecklist update
1110 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1111 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1114 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1115 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1117 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1118 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1119 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1120 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1121 no databases selected in configuration
1122 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1123 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1124 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1125 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1126 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1128 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1129 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1130 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1131 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1132 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1133 -v now controls this as well
1134 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1135 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1136 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1137 the beginning of USB conversations
1138 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1139 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1140 its sequence number behaviour
1141 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1142 socket 0 level command
1143 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1144 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1145 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1146 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1147 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1148 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1149 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1150 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1151 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1152 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1153 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1154 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1155 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1157 - updated controller.cc:
1158 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1159 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1160 selecting modes, as it should use the
1161 socket 0 sequence number
1162 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1163 - updated some .cvsignore files
1165 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1166 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1171 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1172 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1173 new PasswordChallenge struct
1174 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1175 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1176 password hashing logic.
1177 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1179 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1180 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1181 - major LDIF overhaul:
1182 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1184 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1185 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1186 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1188 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1190 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1191 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1193 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1194 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1195 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1196 - large update to btool manpage
1197 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1199 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1200 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1201 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1202 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1203 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1204 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1205 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1206 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1207 instead of hardcoding it.
1209 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1210 - minor tweaks to README
1211 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1212 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1213 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1214 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1215 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1216 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1217 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1219 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1220 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1221 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1222 - added iomanip to debug.h
1223 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1224 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1227 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1228 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1229 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1230 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1233 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1234 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1236 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1238 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1239 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1240 one base class: Barry::Error
1241 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1242 - added BadPassword exception
1248 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1249 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1250 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1251 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1252 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1253 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1254 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1256 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1257 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1258 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1259 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1260 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1261 due to pending reads
1263 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1264 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1266 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1267 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1268 - iostream output size fixes
1269 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1270 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1271 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1272 this is still experimental
1273 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1274 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1276 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1277 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1278 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1279 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1281 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1282 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1283 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1284 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1285 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1286 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1287 and record objects that use it.
1288 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1289 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1291 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1292 This returns the default rectype that should work
1293 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1294 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1295 records, this info would be good to know.
1296 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1297 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1298 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1299 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1300 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1301 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1302 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1303 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1304 - backup GUI updates:
1305 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1306 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1307 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1308 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1309 i.e. Backup or Restore
1310 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1311 it appears to be read-only on the device
1312 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1313 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1314 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1315 supported now by the library
1317 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1318 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1320 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1321 using the library should not care about endianness
1322 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1323 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1325 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1327 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1328 Version call instead
1329 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1331 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1332 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1333 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1335 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1336 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1337 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1339 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1340 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1341 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1342 through btool, for development
1343 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1344 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1345 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1346 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1347 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1348 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1349 exceptions need to be handled with
1350 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1351 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1352 - added pending gui/TODO items
1354 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1355 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1356 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1357 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1358 when we try to write to it)
1359 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1361 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1363 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1364 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1365 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1366 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1367 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1369 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1370 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1371 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1372 backups only at this point
1374 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1375 - added version API, returning version number and string
1376 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1377 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1378 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1379 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1381 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1382 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1384 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1385 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1386 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1387 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1389 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1391 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1393 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1394 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1396 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1398 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1399 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1401 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1402 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1403 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1404 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1405 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1406 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1408 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1409 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1410 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1412 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1413 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1414 a future Debian install
1415 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1416 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1417 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1418 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1420 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1421 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1422 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1423 - fixed more endian issues
1424 - minor update to TODO
1426 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1427 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1429 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1430 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1431 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1432 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1434 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1435 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1436 on old build system if wanted
1437 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1438 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1439 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1440 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1441 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1442 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1444 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1445 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1446 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1447 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1448 properly when installed standalone
1449 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1450 installed barry library
1451 - added commentary on version number system
1452 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1453 system supercedes it
1454 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1455 - added library version number to autoconf build
1456 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1457 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1475 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1477 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1478 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1480 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1481 uploading to device to fail
1483 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1485 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1486 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc

1488 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1489 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1490 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1492 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1493 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1494 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1495 exceptions leak into the C library code
1497 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1498 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1500 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1501 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1503 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1506 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1507 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1508 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1509 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1510 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1511 header of its own, in the case of email
1512 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1513 Record does not know the details of the packet
1514 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1515 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1516 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1517 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1518 the record format details, but does know the
1519 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1521 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1522 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1523 record formats being the same even with different
1524 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1525 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1526 See the header size of the email record after
1528 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1529 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1530 The Controller object does not know the format
1531 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1532 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1533 to talk to the device.
1534 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1536 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1538 - added sample hotplug scripts
1539 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1540 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1541 handle non-little-endian machines
1542 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1543 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1544 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1545 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1546 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1547 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1548 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1549 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1551 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1553 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1554 flags of individual blackberry device records
1555 - added endian macros throughout the code
1557 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1558 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1559 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1561 - removed slow sync functions for now
1563 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1564 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1565 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1566 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1567 the base classes for all exceptions
1568 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1569 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1571 - added to Contact record class:
1573 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1574 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1575 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1578 and upload it to a blackberry
1579 - updated src/.cvsignore
1581 - added parsing of service book fields:
1583 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1585 - old and new description
1587 - bes domain / domain
1588 - date change in legal.txt
1589 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1590 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1591 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1592 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1593 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1595 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1596 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1597 - added AUTHORS file
1598 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1599 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1600 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1602 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1603 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1605 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1607 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile

1609 to the Controller class
1610 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1611 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1612 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1613 support of the template Controller functions
1614 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1615 returning errors properly

1617 of Controller template member usage
1619 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1621 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1622 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1625 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1626 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1627 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1647 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1648 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1649 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1650 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1651 throw exception in controller.cc
1652 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1653 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1654 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1655 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1656 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1657 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1658 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1659 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1662 - added autoconf to Todo list
1663 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1664 be reused for upload and download
1665 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1666 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1667 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data

1674 - added boost::serialization to build
1675 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1676 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1677 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1678 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1679 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1681 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1682 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1683 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1684 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1686 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc

1688 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1689 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1690 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1691 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1694 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1695 optimize away protocol struct casts

1701 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1702 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1703 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1704 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1706 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1729 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1730 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1731 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1732 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1733 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1734 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1735 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1736 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1737 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1738 seem to need more time...)
1739 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1740 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1741 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1742 with Python, if used(?)
1743 - added Message class for Email records
1744 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1745 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1746 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1759 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1760 better suited to its general API purpose
1761 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1762 a public API function
1763 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1764 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1766 - added mode checks to Controller
1767 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1768 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1769 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1772 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1773 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1774 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1775 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1776 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1777 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1778 from the Command Table
1779 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1780 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1781 the Cassis spec more closely
1782 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1783 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1784 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1787 - added Doxyfile to the project
1789 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1790 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1791 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1793 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1794 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1795 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1796 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1797 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1798 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1799 less buffer than data copied
1800 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1801 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1802 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1803 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1805 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1806 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1808 - implemented socket::Close()
1809 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1810 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1811 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1813 - added .cvsignore files to project
1814 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1815 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1816 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1817 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1818 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1820 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1821 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1822 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1824 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1825 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1826 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1827 - regular debug output
1828 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1829 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1830 - raw data dump output
1831 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1832 numbers into english (limited success)
1833 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1834 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1835 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1836 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1837 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1838 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1839 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1840 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1841 for socket 0 operations.
1842 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1846 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1847 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1848 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1849 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1851 - syncberry tree started
