1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
5 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
6 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
7 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
8 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
9 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
10 IpModem endpoints are available
11 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
12 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
13 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
14 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
15 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
17 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
18 to file instead of stderr
19 - added man page for pppob
21 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
22 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
24 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
27 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
28 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
29 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
30 I'm looking at you...)
31 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
32 if no command line arguments are specified
33 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
34 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
36 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
37 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
38 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
39 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
40 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
41 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
42 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
43 like a null terminated string... also added more
44 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
45 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
46 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
47 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
48 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
49 on database records, for testing
50 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
51 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
52 which completes builder support
53 Checksums from the following commands now match:
54 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
55 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
56 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
57 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
58 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
60 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
62 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
65 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
66 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
67 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
70 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
73 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
74 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.
77 - added thread-safe logging mechanism
78 - added preliminary IP modem support... requires a recent
79 device... serial mode is not yet supported
82 - changed Barry::Init() so programmer can choose where
83 debug and exception information goes, instead of
88 - fixed bug in probe class, which missed storing the PIN
90 - also added ProbeResult constructor
91 - merged changes from visibility branch:
92 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
93 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
94 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
95 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such

200 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
202 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
203 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
205 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
206 to avoid the CVS directories
207 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
208 diff.gz and dsc files
209 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
210 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
213 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
214 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
215 real opensync libraries
217 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
218 building RPM's from CVS
219 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
220 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
221 on ./configure command line
223 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
224 so that the database name is stored as the first line
226 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
228 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
229 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
231 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
232 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
234 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
235 Paul Dugas for the tip
237 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
238 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
239 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
240 - updated AUTHORS file
242 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
243 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
244 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
245 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
246 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
247 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
248 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
249 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
251 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
252 - updated copyright statments for 2008
254 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
256 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
257 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
262 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
266 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
269 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
270 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
272 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
273 - added pause to maintainer release script
279 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
283 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
285 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
286 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
288 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
289 search by busname / devname
290 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
291 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
292 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
293 bus/device names, and updated the man page
294 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
295 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
296 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
297 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
298 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
299 spec file for opensuse
301 - added better error checking to breset
302 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
303 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
304 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
305 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
306 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
307 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
308 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
310 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
311 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
312 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
313 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
314 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
315 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
316 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
317 make applications look more capable, not less.
318 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
319 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
320 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
323 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
324 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
327 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
328 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
329 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
330 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
331 at the same time as usb_storage.
332 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
333 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
334 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
335 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
336 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
337 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
338 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
339 fail naturally on these devices.
340 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
342 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
343 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
345 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
346 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
348 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
350 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
351 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
352 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
353 that release package builds can be done faster
355 - opensync plugin fixes:
356 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
357 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
358 and keep track of the hierarchy when
359 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
360 - added support for searching for attributes only
361 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
362 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
364 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
365 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
366 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
367 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
368 ToBarry conversion results
369 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
371 - fixed typo in previous fix
373 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
374 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
375 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
380 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
384 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
385 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
387 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
388 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
389 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
390 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
392 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
393 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
395 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
396 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
397 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
398 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
399 without recompiling the kernel.
400 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
402 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
403 information in README files to html format, so that it
404 is commonly available on the web
405 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
406 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
408 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
409 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
412 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
413 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
414 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
415 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
416 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
417 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
418 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
419 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
420 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
421 explanatory document for various system requirements
422 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
424 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
425 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
426 for opensuse rpm builds
428 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
429 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
430 - fixed build target to i386
431 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
434 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
435 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
436 will be updated more frequently
438 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
439 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
440 configure scripts to support external build directories
441 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
442 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
443 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
444 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
445 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
448 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
449 parse the comma separated string into an array,
451 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
452 and will affect backward compatibility with
453 old serialization datafiles
454 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
455 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
457 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
458 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
460 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
461 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
462 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
463 - fixed in opensync plugin:
464 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
465 so added lower case conversion routine
466 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
467 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
468 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
469 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
471 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
472 - added status message to endpoint override
474 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
475 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
476 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
477 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
478 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
479 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
481 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
482 The description is now part of the probe results
483 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
484 a new attribute definition.
485 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
486 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
487 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
488 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
489 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
490 in order to better support SWIG and Python
492 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
493 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
494 settings automatically where possible
495 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
496 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
498 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
499 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
500 error.cc is now an empty shell
501 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
502 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
503 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
504 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
505 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
507 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
512 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
516 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
517 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
518 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
520 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
521 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
523 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
524 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
525 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
526 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
527 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
529 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
530 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
531 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
532 endian bug in the process)
533 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
534 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
535 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
536 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
537 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
538 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
539 - opensync-plugin/README update
540 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
541 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
542 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
544 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
546 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
549 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
550 for the broken-down name instead of N
551 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
552 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
553 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
554 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
555 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
556 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
557 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
558 registered two. Moving to single change commit
559 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
560 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
561 ease memory pressure in the library.
562 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
564 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
565 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
566 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
568 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
570 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
571 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
572 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
573 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
574 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
575 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
576 record into the device.... First/Last Name
577 fields are position sensitive, and the code
578 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
579 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
580 were not updated to handle the new field
581 table added for the postal address changes
584 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
585 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
586 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
587 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
588 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
589 UID strings, instead of just numbers
590 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
591 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
592 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
593 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
594 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
596 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
597 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
598 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
599 sync the wrong device and lose data.
600 Actions to take on new PIN:
601 - force slow_sync, or
603 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
604 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
605 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
606 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
608 - changed PIN error message number to hex
610 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
611 "Backup in progress..."
612 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
613 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
614 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
615 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
616 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
617 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
618 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
619 a new class called PostalAddress
620 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
621 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
622 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
623 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
625 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
627 - added vCard converter class
628 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
629 of empty attribute values and parameters,
630 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
631 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
632 an extra nth argument, in order to search
633 for multiple attributes with the same name...
634 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
635 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
636 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
639 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
640 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
641 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
642 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
646 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
647 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
648 new Barry ID would look like a new change
649 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
650 - added support for slow sync

652 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
653 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
654 - added Notification time support
655 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
656 does not exist in a vformat data block
657 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
658 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
659 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
660 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
661 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
662 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
663 special cases in the future
665 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
667 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
668 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
669 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
671 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
672 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
673 library API that is not yet finished... will be
674 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
675 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
677 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
678 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
679 the goal is to be able to do:
680 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
682 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
683 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
684 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
685 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
687 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
688 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
690 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
692 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
693 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
695 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
696 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
697 in general use will not break on build
698 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
699 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
700 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
702 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
704 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
705 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
706 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
707 SetIds() is already there
708 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
709 and moved into record.h
710 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
712 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
713 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)

720 - changes to PIN message patch:
721 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
722 - fixed tab alignment throughout
723 - removed typedef from Address struct
724 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
725 going to be a standalone type
726 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
727 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
728 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
729 backing on a field for other use
730 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
731 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
732 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
733 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
734 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
735 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
736 PIN Message so that we store both of these
739 - added item to gui/TODO
740 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
742 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme

748 - added copyright notice
749 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
750 - placed in Barry namespace
751 - added #ifdef header protectors
752 - added new files to Makefile.am
753 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
754 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
755 Brian Edginton's patch
756 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
757 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
760 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
761 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
765 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
766 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
767 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
768 linker errors with the new file layout
770 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
771 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
772 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
774 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
775 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
776 and added a command line option to turn
777 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
778 - command line option --help now also works
779 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
780 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
781 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
782 localizing the constants in one place
784 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
785 fields in Contact and Calendar records
786 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
787 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
788 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
789 Outlook from the comments.
790 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
791 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
792 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
793 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
794 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
799 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
800 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
803 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
804 based on the example plugin in the opensync
805 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
809 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
810 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
811 and then success afterward
812 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
813 - added item to gui's todo list
814 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
818 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
822 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
823 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

827 - updated maintainer/README
828 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
830 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
831 - bumped release number in barry.spec
834 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
835 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
836 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
837 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
839 - added development note to README
841 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
844 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
845 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
848 - removed some unneeded trace logs
849 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
851 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
852 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
854 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
855 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
857 - opensync module work:
858 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
859 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
860 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
861 a hard coded calendar record state table
862 - added lots of logging throughout
863 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
864 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
865 causing another sync on the next run
866 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
867 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
868 written to the Blackberry
869 - more opensync module work:
870 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
871 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
872 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
873 the environment classes
874 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
875 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
877 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
878 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
879 a sample configuration
880 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
881 on success (opensync module)
882 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
883 - allowed comments in the config file
884 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
885 routines are not available from the plugin side
888 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
889 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
890 only use idProduct, and updated man page
891 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
892 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
893 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
894 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
895 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
896 and the old search didn't always work
897 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
898 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
899 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
900 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
901 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
902 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
903 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
904 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
905 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
907 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
908 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
909 the vevent20 data (experimental)
911 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
912 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
914 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
916 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
917 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
919 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
921 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
923 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
924 FullName, even if there was no last name)
925 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
926 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
927 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
928 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
929 this special case, without relying on string length.
930 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
931 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
932 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
934 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
936 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
937 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
938 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
939 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
940 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
941 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
942 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
943 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
944 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
946 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
947 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
949 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
950 udev rules for the Pearl
951 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
953 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
954 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
955 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
956 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
957 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
958 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
959 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
960 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
961 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
962 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
963 - added license file to each package
964 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
967 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
968 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
970 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
971 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
972 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
974 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
975 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
976 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
977 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
978 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
979 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
980 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
981 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
982 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
984 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
985 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
991 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
994 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
996 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
997 device discovery code
998 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
999 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1000 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1001 than are really available... in this case, let's
1002 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1003 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1004 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1005 - ReleaseChecklist update
1006 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1007 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1010 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1013 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1014 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1015 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1016 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1017 no databases selected in configuration
1018 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1019 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1020 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1021 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1022 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1024 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1025 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1026 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1027 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1028 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1029 -v now controls this as well
1030 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1031 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1032 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1033 the beginning of USB conversations
1034 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1035 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1036 its sequence number behaviour
1037 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1038 socket 0 level command
1039 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1040 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1041 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1042 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1043 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1044 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1045 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1046 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1047 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1048 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1049 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1050 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1051 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1053 - updated controller.cc:
1054 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1055 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1056 selecting modes, as it should use the
1057 socket 0 sequence number
1058 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1059 - updated some .cvsignore files
1061 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1062 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1067 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1068 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1069 new PasswordChallenge struct
1070 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1071 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1072 password hashing logic.
1073 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1075 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1076 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1077 - major LDIF overhaul:
1078 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1080 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1081 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1082 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1084 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1086 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1087 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1089 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1090 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1091 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1092 - large update to btool manpage
1093 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1095 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1096 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1097 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1098 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1099 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1100 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1101 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1102 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1103 instead of hardcoding it.
1105 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1106 - minor tweaks to README
1107 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1108 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1109 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1110 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1111 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1112 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1113 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1115 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1116 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1117 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1118 - added iomanip to debug.h
1119 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1120 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1123 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1124 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1125 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1126 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1129 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1130 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1132 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1134 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1135 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1136 one base class: Barry::Error
1137 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1138 - added BadPassword exception
1144 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1145 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1146 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1147 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1148 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1149 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1150 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1152 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1153 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1154 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1155 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1156 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1157 due to pending reads
1159 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1160 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1162 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1163 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1164 - iostream output size fixes
1165 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1166 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1167 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1168 this is still experimental
1169 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1170 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1172 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1173 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1174 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1175 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1177 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1178 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1179 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1180 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1181 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1182 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1183 and record objects that use it.
1184 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1185 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1187 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1188 This returns the default rectype that should work
1189 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1190 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1191 records, this info would be good to know.
1192 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1193 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1194 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1195 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1196 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1197 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1198 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1199 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1200 - backup GUI updates:
1201 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1202 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1203 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1204 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1205 i.e. Backup or Restore
1206 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1207 it appears to be read-only on the device
1208 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1209 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1210 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1211 supported now by the library
1213 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1214 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1216 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1217 using the library should not care about endianness
1218 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1219 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1221 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1223 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1224 Version call instead
1225 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1227 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1228 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1229 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1231 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1232 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1233 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1235 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1236 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1237 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1238 through btool, for development
1239 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1240 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1241 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1242 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1243 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1244 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1245 exceptions need to be handled with
1246 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1247 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1248 - added pending gui/TODO items
1250 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1251 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1252 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1253 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1254 when we try to write to it)
1255 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace

1271 - added version API, returning version number and string
1272 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1273 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1274 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1275 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1277 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1278 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1280 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1281 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1282 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1283 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1285 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1287 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1289 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1290 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1292 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1294 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1295 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1297 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1298 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1299 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1300 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1301 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1302 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1304 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1305 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1306 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1308 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs

1310 a future Debian install
1311 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1312 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1313 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1314 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1316 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1317 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1318 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1336 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1337 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1338 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1340 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1341 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1342 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1343 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1344 properly when installed standalone
1345 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1346 installed barry library
1347 - added commentary on version number system

1377 uploading to device to fail
1379 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1381 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1382 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1383 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1384 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1385 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1386 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1388 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1389 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1390 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1391 exceptions leak into the C library code
1393 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1394 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1396 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1397 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1399 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1402 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1403 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1404 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1405 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1406 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1407 header of its own, in the case of email
1408 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1409 Record does not know the details of the packet
1410 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1411 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1412 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1413 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1414 the record format details, but does know the
1415 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1417 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1418 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1419 record formats being the same even with different
1420 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1421 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1422 See the header size of the email record after
1424 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1425 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1426 The Controller object does not know the format
1427 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1428 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1429 to talk to the device.
1430 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1432 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1434 - added sample hotplug scripts
1435 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1436 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1437 handle non-little-endian machines
1438 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1439 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1440 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1441 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1442 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1443 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1444 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1445 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1447 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1449 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1450 flags of individual blackberry device records

1457 - removed slow sync functions for now
1459 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1460 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1461 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1462 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1463 the base classes for all exceptions
1464 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1465 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1467 - added to Contact record class:
1469 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1470 - added fragmented send support to Socket class

1479 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1481 - old and new description
1483 - bes domain / domain
1484 - date change in legal.txt
1485 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1486 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1487 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1488 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1489 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1491 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1492 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1493 - added AUTHORS file
1494 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1495 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1496 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1544 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1545 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1546 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1547 throw exception in controller.cc
1548 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1549 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1550 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1551 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1552 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1553 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1554 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1571 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1572 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1573 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1574 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1575 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1577 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1597 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1598 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1599 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1600 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1602 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1625 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1626 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1627 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1628 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1629 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1630 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1631 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1632 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1633 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1634 seem to need more time...)
1635 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1636 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1637 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1638 with Python, if used(?)
1639 - added Message class for Email records
1640 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1641 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1658 a public API function
1659 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1660 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1662 - added mode checks to Controller

1670 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1671 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1672 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1673 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1674 from the Command Table
1675 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1676 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1677 the Cassis spec more closely
1678 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1679 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1680 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1683 - added Doxyfile to the project
1685 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1686 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1687 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1689 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1690 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1691 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1692 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1694 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1695 less buffer than data copied
1696 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1697 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1698 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1699 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1701 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1702 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1704 - implemented socket::Close()
1705 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1706 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1707 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1709 - added .cvsignore files to project
1710 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1711 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1712 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1713 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1714 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1716 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1717 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1718 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1720 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1721 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1722 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1723 - regular debug output
1724 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1725 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1726 - raw data dump output
1727 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1728 numbers into english (limited success)
1729 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1730 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1731 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1732 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1733 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1734 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1735 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1736 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1737 for socket 0 operations.
1738 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1742 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1743 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1744 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1745 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1747 - syncberry tree started
