1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2008/05/02
4 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
5 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
6 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
7 I'm looking at you...)
8 2008/05/01
9 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
10 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
11 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
12 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
13 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
14 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
15 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
16 like a null terminated string... also added more
17 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
18 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
19 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
20 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
21 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
22 on database records, for testing
23 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
24 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
25 which completes builder support
26 Checksums from the following commands now match:
27 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
28 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
29 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
30 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
31 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
32 2008/04/29
33 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
34 work again... Thanks!
35 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
36 - updated AUTHORS
37 2008/04/26
38 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
39 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
40 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
41 2008/04/25
42 - updated NEWS file
43 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
44 to Controller
45 2008/04/25

173 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
175 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
176 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
177 2008/03/21
178 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
179 to avoid the CVS directories
180 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
181 diff.gz and dsc files
182 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
183 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
184 scripts
185 2008/03/13
186 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
187 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
188 real opensync libraries
189 2008/03/07
190 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
191 building RPM's from CVS
192 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
193 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
194 on ./configure command line
195 2008/03/06
196 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
197 so that the database name is stored as the first line
198 of the file
199 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
200 written by btool

209 2008/02/28
210 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
211 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
212 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
213 - updated AUTHORS file
214 2008/02/22
215 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
216 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
217 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
218 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
219 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
220 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
221 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
222 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
223 2008/01/25

244 2007/12/01
245 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
246 - added pause to maintainer release script
247 2007/11/30
248 - version bump:
249 - configure.ac
250 - src/Makefile.am
251 - src/version.cc
252 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
253 - src/Doxygen
254 - rpm/barry.spec
255 - debian/changelog
256 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
258 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
260 2007/11/30
261 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
262 search by busname / devname
263 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
264 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
265 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
266 bus/device names, and updated the man page
267 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
268 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
269 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
270 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
271 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
272 spec file for opensuse
273 2007/11/29
274 - added better error checking to breset
275 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
276 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
277 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
278 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
279 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
280 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
281 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
282 is loaded!
283 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
284 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
285 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
286 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
287 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
288 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
289 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
290 make applications look more capable, not less.
291 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
292 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
293 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
294 they are so verbose
295 2007/11/27
296 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
297 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
298 to need this
299 2007/11/23
300 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
301 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
302 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
303 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
304 at the same time as usb_storage.
305 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
306 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
307 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
308 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
309 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
310 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
311 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
312 fail naturally on these devices.
313 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
314 2007/11/09
315 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
316 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
317 suggestion.
318 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
319 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
320 - AUTHORS update
321 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
322 opensync plugin
323 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
324 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
325 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
326 that release package builds can be done faster
327 2007/10/26
328 - opensync plugin fixes:
329 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
330 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
331 and keep track of the hierarchy when
332 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
333 - added support for searching for attributes only
334 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
335 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
336 2007/10/25
337 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
338 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
339 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
340 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
341 ToBarry conversion results
342 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
343 mktime, in vformat.c
344 - fixed typo in previous fix
345 2007/10/12
346 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
347 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
348 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
349 - version bump:
350 - configure.ac
351 - src/Makefile.am
352 - src/version.cc
353 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
354 - src/Doxygen
355 - rpm/barry.spec
356 - debian/changelog
357 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
358 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
359 the opensync plugin
360 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
361 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
362 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
363 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
365 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
366 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
367 2007/09/29
368 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
369 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
370 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
371 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
372 without recompiling the kernel.
373 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
374 2007/09/27
375 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
376 information in README files to html format, so that it
377 is commonly available on the web
378 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
379 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
380 2007/09/22
381 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
382 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
383 needed.... hmmmm
384 2007/09/21
385 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
386 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
387 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
388 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
389 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
390 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
391 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
392 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
393 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
394 explanatory document for various system requirements
395 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
396 2007/09/20
397 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
398 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
399 for opensuse rpm builds
400 2007/09/13
401 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
402 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
403 - fixed build target to i386
404 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
405 of overwriting it
406 2007/09/07
407 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
408 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
409 will be updated more frequently
410 2007/09/05
411 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
412 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
413 configure scripts to support external build directories
414 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
415 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
416 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
417 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
418 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
419 maintainer script
420 2007/08/24
421 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
422 parse the comma separated string into an array,
423 and back
424 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
425 and will affect backward compatibility with
426 old serialization datafiles
427 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
428 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
429 2007/08/23
430 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
431 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
432 to throw it on error
433 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
434 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
435 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
436 - fixed in opensync plugin:
437 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
438 so added lower case conversion routine
439 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
440 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
441 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
442 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
443 2007/08/20
444 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
445 - added status message to endpoint override
446 2007/08/18
447 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
448 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
449 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
450 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
451 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
452 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
453 the gory details.
454 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
455 The description is now part of the probe results
456 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
457 a new attribute definition.
458 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
459 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
460 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
461 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
462 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
463 in order to better support SWIG and Python
464 2007/08/17
465 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
466 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
467 settings automatically where possible
468 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
469 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
470 2007/08/16
471 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
472 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
473 error.cc is now an empty shell
474 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
475 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
476 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
477 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
478 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
479 2007/08/09
480 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
481 - version bump:
482 - configure.ac
483 - src/Makefile.am
484 - src/version.cc
485 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
486 - src/Doxygen
487 - rpm/barry.spec
488 - debian/changelog
489 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
490 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
491 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
493 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
494 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
495 2007/08/03
496 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
497 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
498 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
499 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
500 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
501 devices
502 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
503 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
504 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
505 endian bug in the process)
506 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
507 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
508 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
509 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
510 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
511 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
512 - opensync-plugin/README update
513 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
514 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
515 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
516 2007/08/01
517 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
518 2007/07/28
519 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
520 2007/07/27
521 - opensync plugin:
522 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
523 for the broken-down name instead of N
524 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
525 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
526 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
527 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
528 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
529 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
530 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
531 registered two. Moving to single change commit
532 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
533 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
534 ease memory pressure in the library.
535 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
536 syncing completion
537 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
538 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
539 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
540 2007/07/26
541 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
542 requiring a file
543 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
544 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
545 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
546 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
547 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
548 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
549 record into the device.... First/Last Name
550 fields are position sensitive, and the code
551 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
552 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
553 were not updated to handle the new field
554 table added for the postal address changes
555 on 2007/07/20, oops
556 - opensync plugin:
557 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
558 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
559 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
560 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
561 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
562 UID strings, instead of just numbers
563 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
564 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
565 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
566 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
567 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
568 automatically
569 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
570 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
571 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
572 sync the wrong device and lose data.
573 Actions to take on new PIN:
574 - force slow_sync, or
575 - fail
576 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
577 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
578 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
579 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
580 and didn't write
581 - changed PIN error message number to hex
582 2007/07/20
583 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
584 "Backup in progress..."
585 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
586 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
587 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
588 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
589 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
590 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
591 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
592 a new class called PostalAddress
593 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
594 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
595 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
596 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
597 - opensync plugin:
598 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
599 called vBase
600 - added vCard converter class
601 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
602 of empty attribute values and parameters,
603 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
604 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
605 an extra nth argument, in order to search
606 for multiple attributes with the same name...
607 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
608 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
609 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
610 pain
611 2007/07/19
612 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
613 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
614 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
615 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
616 Blackberries.
617 2007/07/14
618 - opensync plugin:
619 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
620 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
621 new Barry ID would look like a new change
622 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
623 - added support for slow sync
624 - added clear() to idmap class
625 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
626 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
627 - added Notification time support
628 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
629 does not exist in a vformat data block
630 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
631 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
632 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
633 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
634 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
635 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
636 special cases in the future
637 2007/07/13
638 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
639 2007/07/12
640 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
641 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
642 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
643 2007/07/06
644 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
645 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
646 library API that is not yet finished... will be
647 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
648 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
649 2007/06/29
650 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
651 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
652 the goal is to be able to do:
653 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
654 mutt -f email.mbox
655 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
656 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
657 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
658 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
659 2007/06/28
660 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
661 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
662 in configure.ac
663 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
664 2007/06/21
665 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
666 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
667 2007/06/14
668 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
669 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
670 in general use will not break on build
671 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
672 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
673 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
674 2007/06/08
675 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
676 dependency
677 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
678 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
679 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
680 SetIds() is already there
681 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
682 and moved into record.h
683 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
684 be more mbox-like
685 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
686 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
687 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
688 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
689 2007/06/07
690 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
691 2007/06/06
692 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
693 - changes to PIN message patch:
694 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
695 - fixed tab alignment throughout
696 - removed typedef from Address struct
697 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
698 going to be a standalone type
699 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
700 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
701 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
702 backing on a field for other use
703 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
704 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
705 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
706 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
707 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
708 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
709 PIN Message so that we store both of these
710 - updated AUTHORS
711 2007/05/27
712 - added item to gui/TODO
713 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
714 2007/05/25
715 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme

717 modified to split into the new separate files system
718 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
719 - reformatted the code to match coding style
720 (come on Brian) :-)
721 - added copyright notice
722 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
723 - placed in Barry namespace
724 - added #ifdef header protectors
725 - added new files to Makefile.am
726 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
727 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
728 Brian Edginton's patch
729 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
730 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
731 - updated AUTHORS
732 2007/05/24
733 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
734 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
735 - ClassFlag
736 - FreeBusyFlag
737 - Clear() fixes
738 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
739 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
740 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
741 linker errors with the new file layout
742 2007/05/17
743 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
744 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
745 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
746 - backup gui:
747 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
748 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
749 and added a command line option to turn
750 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
751 - command line option --help now also works
752 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
753 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
754 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
755 localizing the constants in one place
756 2007/05/11
757 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
758 fields in Contact and Calendar records
759 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
760 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
761 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
762 Outlook from the comments.
763 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
764 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
765 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
766 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
767 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
768 libbarry
769 libbarry-dev
770 barry-util
771 barrybackup-gui
772 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
773 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
774 small on Debian Etch
775 - opensync plugin:
776 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
777 based on the example plugin in the opensync
778 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
779 is incomplete
780 2007/05/04
781 - opensync plugin:
782 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
783 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
784 and then success afterward
785 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
786 - added item to gui's todo list
787 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
788 - configure.ac
789 - src/Makefile.am
790 - src/version.cc
791 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
792 - src/Doxygen
793 - rpm/barry*.spec
795 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
796 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
797 2007/05/02
798 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

803 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
804 - bumped release number in barry.spec
805 2007/04/30
806 - opensync plugin:
807 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
808 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
809 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
810 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
811 xml data format...
812 - added development note to README
813 2007/04/29
814 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
815 build instructions
816 - opensync plugin:
817 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
818 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
819 2007/04/27
820 - opensync module:
821 - removed some unneeded trace logs
822 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
823 m_Data pointer
824 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
825 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
826 if empty
827 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
828 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
829 2007/04/26
830 - opensync module work:
831 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
832 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
833 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
834 a hard coded calendar record state table
835 - added lots of logging throughout
836 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
837 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
838 causing another sync on the next run
839 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
840 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
841 written to the Blackberry
842 - more opensync module work:
843 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
844 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
845 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
846 the environment classes
847 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
848 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
849 2007/04/20
850 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
851 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
852 a sample configuration
853 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
854 on success (opensync module)
855 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
856 - allowed comments in the config file
857 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
858 routines are not available from the plugin side
859 2007/04/19
860 - updated gui/TODO
861 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
862 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
863 only use idProduct, and updated man page
864 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
865 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
866 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
867 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
868 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
869 and the old search didn't always work
870 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
871 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
872 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
873 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
874 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
875 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
876 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
877 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
878 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
879 search at 0
880 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
881 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
882 the vevent20 data (experimental)
883 2007/04/04
884 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
885 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
886 2007/03/30
887 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
888 if found
889 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
890 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
891 of the project
892 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
893 2007/03/29
894 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
895 - updated AUTHORS
896 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
897 FullName, even if there was no last name)
898 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
899 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
900 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
901 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
902 this special case, without relying on string length.
903 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
904 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
905 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
906 2007/03/17
907 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
908 2007/03/16
909 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
910 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
911 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
912 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
913 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
914 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
915 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
916 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
917 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
918 in some cases
919 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
920 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
921 2007/03/08
922 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
923 udev rules for the Pearl
924 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
925 functionality
926 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
927 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
928 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
929 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
930 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
931 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
932 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
933 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
934 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
935 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
936 - added license file to each package
937 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
938 discussion
939 - updated AUTHORS
940 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
941 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
942 for the bug report
943 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
944 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
945 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
946 user.
947 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
948 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
949 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
950 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
951 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
952 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
953 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
954 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
955 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
956 as a guide
957 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
958 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
959 2007/03/02
960 - version bump in:
961 - configure.ac
962 - src/Makefile.am
963 - src/version.cc
964 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
965 - src/Doxyfile
966 - rpm/barry.spec
967 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
968 for it
969 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
970 device discovery code
971 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
972 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
973 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
974 than are really available... in this case, let's
975 just ignore the missing data and assume success
976 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
977 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
978 - ReleaseChecklist update
979 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
980 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
981 dependency
983 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
984 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
985 2007/02/28
986 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
987 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
988 - added initial release maintainer scripts
989 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
990 no databases selected in configuration
991 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
992 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
993 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
994 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
995 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
996 2007/02/23
997 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
998 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
999 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1000 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1001 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1002 -v now controls this as well
1003 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1004 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1005 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1006 the beginning of USB conversations
1007 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1008 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1009 its sequence number behaviour
1010 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1011 socket 0 level command
1012 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1013 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1014 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1015 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1016 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1017 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1018 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1019 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1020 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1021 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1022 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1023 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1024 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1025 of socket 0 packets
1026 - updated controller.cc:
1027 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1028 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1029 selecting modes, as it should use the
1030 socket 0 sequence number
1031 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1032 - updated some .cvsignore files
1033 - updated TODO
1034 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1035 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1036 - ChallengeSeed()
1037 - RemainingTries()
1038 - SocketResponse()
1039 - SocketSqeuence()
1040 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1041 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1042 new PasswordChallenge struct
1043 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1044 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1045 password hashing logic.
1046 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1047 2007/02/22
1048 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1049 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1050 - major LDIF overhaul:
1051 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1052 into its own
1053 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1054 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1055 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1056 contact field names
1057 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1058 if necessary
1059 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1060 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1061 encoded
1062 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1063 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1064 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1065 - large update to btool manpage
1066 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1067 2007/02/15
1068 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1069 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1070 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1071 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1072 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1073 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1074 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1075 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1076 instead of hardcoding it.
1077 2007/02/10
1078 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1079 - minor tweaks to README
1080 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1081 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1082 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1083 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1084 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1085 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1086 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1087 2007/02/09
1088 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1089 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1090 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1091 - added iomanip to debug.h
1092 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1093 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1094 2007/02/04
1095 - updated AUTHORS
1096 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1097 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1098 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1099 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1100 from Ian Darwin
1101 2007/02/03
1102 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1103 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1104 - updated AUTHORS
1105 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1106 2007/02/02
1107 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1108 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1109 one base class: Barry::Error
1110 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1111 - added BadPassword exception
1112 2007/02/01
1113 - version bump in:
1114 - configure.ac
1115 - src/Makefile.am
1116 - src/version.cc
1117 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1118 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1119 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1120 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1121 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1122 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1123 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1124 in the future.
1125 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1126 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1127 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1128 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1129 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1130 due to pending reads
1132 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1133 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1134 2007/01/26
1135 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1136 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1137 - iostream output size fixes
1138 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1139 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1140 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1141 this is still experimental
1142 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1143 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1144 Debian stable
1145 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1146 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1147 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1148 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1149 2007/01/25
1150 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1151 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1152 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1153 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1154 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1155 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1156 and record objects that use it.
1157 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1158 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1159 32 bits
1160 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1161 This returns the default rectype that should work
1162 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1163 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1164 records, this info would be good to know.
1165 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1166 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1167 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1168 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1169 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1170 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1171 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1172 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1173 - backup GUI updates:
1174 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1175 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1176 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1177 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1178 i.e. Backup or Restore
1179 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1180 it appears to be read-only on the device
1181 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1182 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1183 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1184 supported now by the library
1185 2007/01/21
1186 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1187 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1188 - changes to patch:
1189 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1190 using the library should not care about endianness
1191 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1192 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1193 install
1194 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1195 for the same reason
1196 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1197 Version call instead
1198 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1199 - updated AUTHORS
1200 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1201 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1202 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1203 2007/01/20
1204 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1205 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1206 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1207 some older devices
1208 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1209 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1210 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1211 through btool, for development
1212 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1213 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1214 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1215 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1216 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1217 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1218 exceptions need to be handled with
1219 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1220 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1221 - added pending gui/TODO items
1222 2007/01/19
1223 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1224 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1225 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1226 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1227 when we try to write to it)
1228 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1229 2007/01/18
1230 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1231 2007/01/13
1232 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1233 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1234 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1235 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1236 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1237 - updated README
1238 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1239 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1240 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1241 backups only at this point
1242 2007/01/11
1243 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1244 - added version API, returning version number and string
1245 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1246 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1247 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1248 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1249 2007/01/05
1250 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1251 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1252 in probe.h)
1253 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1254 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1255 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1256 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1257 2007/01/04
1258 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1259 different rules
1260 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1261 USB product ID 6
1262 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1263 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1264 2006/12/29
1265 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1267 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1268 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1269 2006/12/29
1270 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1271 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1272 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1273 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1274 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1275 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1276 depend on.
1277 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1278 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1279 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1280 package scripts
1281 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1282 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1283 a future Debian install
1284 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1285 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1286 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1287 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1288 2006/12/21
1289 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1290 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1291 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1292 - fixed more endian issues
1293 - minor update to TODO
1294 2006/12/15
1295 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1296 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1297 2006/12/08
1298 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1299 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1300 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1301 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1302 2006/12/07
1303 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1304 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1305 on old build system if wanted
1306 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1307 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1308 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1309 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1310 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1311 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1312 use only
1313 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1314 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1315 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1316 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1317 properly when installed standalone
1318 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1319 installed barry library
1320 - added commentary on version number system
1321 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1322 system supercedes it
1323 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1324 - added library version number to autoconf build
1325 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1326 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1327 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1328 option... may need to revisit this later
1329 - quick installation update in README
1330 2006/12/01
1331 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
1332 some size checks
1333 - fixed endian issues in time.h
1334 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
1335 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
1336 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
1337 - added support for Calendar recurrence data
1338 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
1339 2006/11/24
1340 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
1341 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
1343 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
1344 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1345 2006/11/23
1346 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1347 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1348 from any int
1349 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1350 uploading to device to fail
1351 2006/11/10

1359 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1360 at once
1361 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1362 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1363 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1364 exceptions leak into the C library code
1366 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1367 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1368 2006/10/12
1369 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1370 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1371 2006/09/29
1372 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1373 the bug report
1374 2006/09/08
1375 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1376 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1377 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1378 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1379 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1380 header of its own, in the case of email
1381 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1382 Record does not know the details of the packet
1383 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1384 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1385 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1386 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1387 the record format details, but does know the
1388 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1389 packet format.
1390 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1391 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1392 record formats being the same even with different
1393 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1394 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1395 See the header size of the email record after
1396 refactoring.
1397 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1398 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1399 The Controller object does not know the format
1400 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1401 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1402 to talk to the device.
1403 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1404 we come!
1405 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1406 2006/09/01
1407 - added sample hotplug scripts
1408 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1409 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1410 handle non-little-endian machines
1411 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1412 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1413 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1414 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1415 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1416 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1417 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1418 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1419 engineered.
1420 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1421 for smarter syncing
1422 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1423 flags of individual blackberry device records
1424 - added endian macros throughout the code
1425 2006/07/13
1426 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1427 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1428 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1429 for development)
1430 - removed slow sync functions for now
1431 2006/07/07
1432 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1433 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1434 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1435 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1436 the base classes for all exceptions
1437 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1438 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1439 2006/06/22
1440 - added to Contact record class:
1441 - Clear()
1442 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1443 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1444 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
1445 - fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
1446 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1447 and upload it to a blackberry
1448 - updated src/.cvsignore
1449 2006/06/16
1450 - added parsing of service book fields:
1451 - old and new name
1452 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1453 - content ID (CID)
1454 - old and new description
1455 - DSID
1456 - bes domain / domain
1457 - date change in legal.txt
1458 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1459 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1460 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1461 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1462 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1463 2006/06/09
1464 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1465 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1466 - added AUTHORS file
1467 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1468 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1469 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1470 2006/05/25
1471 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1472 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1473 2006/05/18
1474 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1475 2006/03/31
1476 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1477 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1478 to the Controller class
1479 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1480 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1481 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1482 support of the template Controller functions
1483 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1484 returning errors properly
1485 - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example
1486 of Controller template member usage
1487 2006/03/29
1488 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1489 2006/01/05
1490 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1491 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1492 2005/12/30
1493 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1494 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1495 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1496 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1497 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1498 constants... constants are now removed
1499 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1500 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1501 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree
1502 - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree

1508 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1509 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1510 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1511 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1512 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in

1515 2005/12/23
1516 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1517 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1518 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1519 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1520 throw exception in controller.cc
1521 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1522 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1523 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1524 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1525 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1526 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1527 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1531 - added autoconf to Todo list
1532 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1533 be reused for upload and download
1534 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1535 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1536 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data
1537 - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts
1538 - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make
1539 this obsolete)
1540 - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads
1541 2005/12/10
1542 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization
1543 - added boost::serialization to build
1544 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1545 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1546 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1547 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1548 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1549 properly serialized
1550 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1551 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1552 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1553 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()

1560 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1561 for later saving
1562 2005/12/07
1563 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1564 optimize away protocol struct casts
1565 see:

1570 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1571 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1572 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1573 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1575 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1576 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1597 2005/11/19
1598 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1599 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1600 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1601 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1602 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1603 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1604 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1605 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1606 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1607 seem to need more time...)
1608 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1609 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1610 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1611 with Python, if used(?)
1612 - added Message class for Email records
1613 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1614 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1615 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1616 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1617 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1618 - cleaned up comments

1628 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1629 better suited to its general API purpose
1630 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1631 a public API function
1632 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1633 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1634 the command line
1635 - added mode checks to Controller
1636 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1637 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1638 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1639 file based
1640 2005/11/18
1641 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1642 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1643 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1644 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1645 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1646 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1647 from the Command Table
1648 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1649 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1650 the Cassis spec more closely
1651 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1652 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1653 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1654 destructors
1655 2005/11/17
1656 - added Doxyfile to the project
1657 - tuned Makefile
1658 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1659 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1660 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1661 data transfers.
1662 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1663 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1664 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1665 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1666 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1667 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1668 less buffer than data copied
1669 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1670 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1671 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1672 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1673 data
1674 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1675 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1676 saved
1677 - implemented socket::Close()
1678 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1679 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1680 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1681 2005/11/11
1682 - added .cvsignore files to project
1683 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1684 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1685 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1686 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1687 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1688 -l = list only
1689 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1690 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1691 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1692 results
1693 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1694 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1695 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1696 - regular debug output
1697 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1698 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1699 - raw data dump output
1700 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1701 numbers into english (limited success)
1702 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1703 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1704 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1705 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1706 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1707 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1708 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1709 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1710 for socket 0 operations.
1711 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1712 MAKE_PACKET()
1713 COMMAND()
1714 IS_COMMAND()
1715 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1716 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1717 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1718 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1719 2005/10/20
1720 - syncberry tree started
