1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/05/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added sample ppp options files for Verizon Blackberries
5 Sample files from Michael L. Stokes
8 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
9 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
10 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
11 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
13 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
14 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
15 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
16 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
17 order (no code change, only move)
18 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
19 possible to determine whether a program is using
20 threaded or non-threaded sockets
21 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
22 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
23 and updated the man page
24 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
25 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
28 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
29 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
30 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
31 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
32 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
33 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
34 IpModem endpoints are available
35 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
36 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
37 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
38 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
39 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
41 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
42 to file instead of stderr
43 - added man page for pppob
45 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
46 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
48 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
51 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
52 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
53 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
54 I'm looking at you...)
55 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
56 if no command line arguments are specified
57 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
58 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
60 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
61 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
62 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
63 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
64 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
65 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
66 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
67 like a null terminated string... also added more
68 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
69 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
70 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
71 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
72 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
73 on database records, for testing
74 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
75 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
76 which completes builder support
77 Checksums from the following commands now match:
78 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
79 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
80 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
81 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
82 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
84 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
86 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
89 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
90 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
91 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
94 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
97 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
98 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

113 number in ProbeResult
114 - also added ProbeResult constructor
115 - merged changes from visibility branch:
116 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
117 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
118 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
119 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such

224 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
226 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
227 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
229 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
230 to avoid the CVS directories
231 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
232 diff.gz and dsc files
233 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
234 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
237 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
238 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
239 real opensync libraries
241 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
242 building RPM's from CVS
243 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
244 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
245 on ./configure command line
247 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
248 so that the database name is stored as the first line
250 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
252 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
253 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
255 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
256 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
258 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
259 Paul Dugas for the tip
261 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
262 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
263 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
264 - updated AUTHORS file
266 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
267 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
268 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
269 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
270 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
271 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
272 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
273 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
275 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
276 - updated copyright statments for 2008
278 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
280 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
281 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
286 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
290 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
293 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
294 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
296 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
297 - added pause to maintainer release script
303 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
307 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
309 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
310 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
312 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
313 search by busname / devname
314 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
315 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
316 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
317 bus/device names, and updated the man page
318 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
319 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
320 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
321 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
322 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
323 spec file for opensuse
325 - added better error checking to breset
326 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
327 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
328 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
329 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
330 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
331 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
332 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
334 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
335 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
336 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
337 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
338 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
339 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
340 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
341 make applications look more capable, not less.
342 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
343 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
344 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
347 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
348 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
351 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
352 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
353 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
354 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
355 at the same time as usb_storage.
356 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
357 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
358 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
359 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
360 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
361 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
362 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
363 fail naturally on these devices.
364 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
366 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
367 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
369 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
370 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
372 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
374 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
375 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
376 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
377 that release package builds can be done faster
379 - opensync plugin fixes:
380 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
381 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
382 and keep track of the hierarchy when
383 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
384 - added support for searching for attributes only
385 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
386 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
388 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
389 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
390 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
391 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
392 ToBarry conversion results
393 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
395 - fixed typo in previous fix
397 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
398 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
399 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
404 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
408 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
409 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
411 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
412 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
413 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
414 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
416 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
417 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
419 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
420 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
421 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
422 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
423 without recompiling the kernel.
424 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
426 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
427 information in README files to html format, so that it
428 is commonly available on the web
429 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
430 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
432 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
433 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
436 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
437 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
438 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
439 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
440 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
441 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
442 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
443 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
444 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
445 explanatory document for various system requirements
446 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
448 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
449 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
450 for opensuse rpm builds
452 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
453 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
454 - fixed build target to i386
455 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
458 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
459 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
460 will be updated more frequently
462 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
463 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
464 configure scripts to support external build directories
465 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
466 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
467 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
468 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
469 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
472 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
473 parse the comma separated string into an array,
475 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
476 and will affect backward compatibility with
477 old serialization datafiles
478 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
479 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
481 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
482 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
484 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
485 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
486 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
487 - fixed in opensync plugin:
488 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
489 so added lower case conversion routine
490 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
491 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
492 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
493 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
495 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
496 - added status message to endpoint override
498 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
499 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
500 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
501 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
502 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
503 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
505 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
506 The description is now part of the probe results
507 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
508 a new attribute definition.
509 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
510 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
511 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
512 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
513 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
514 in order to better support SWIG and Python
516 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
517 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
518 settings automatically where possible
519 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
520 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
522 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
523 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
524 error.cc is now an empty shell
525 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
526 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
527 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
528 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
529 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
531 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
536 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
540 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
541 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
542 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
544 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
545 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
547 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
548 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
549 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
550 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
551 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
553 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
554 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
555 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
556 endian bug in the process)
557 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
558 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
559 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
560 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
561 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
562 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
563 - opensync-plugin/README update
564 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
565 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
566 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
568 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
570 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
573 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
574 for the broken-down name instead of N
575 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
576 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
577 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
578 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
579 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
580 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
581 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
582 registered two. Moving to single change commit
583 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
584 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
585 ease memory pressure in the library.
586 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
588 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
589 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
590 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
592 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
594 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
595 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
596 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
597 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
598 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
599 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
600 record into the device.... First/Last Name
601 fields are position sensitive, and the code
602 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
603 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
604 were not updated to handle the new field
605 table added for the postal address changes
608 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
609 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
610 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
611 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
612 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
613 UID strings, instead of just numbers
614 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
615 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
616 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
617 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
618 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
620 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
621 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
622 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
623 sync the wrong device and lose data.
624 Actions to take on new PIN:
625 - force slow_sync, or
627 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
628 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
629 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
630 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
632 - changed PIN error message number to hex
634 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
635 "Backup in progress..."
636 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
637 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
638 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
639 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
640 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
641 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
642 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
643 a new class called PostalAddress
644 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
645 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
646 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
647 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
649 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
651 - added vCard converter class
652 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
653 of empty attribute values and parameters,
654 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
655 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
656 an extra nth argument, in order to search
657 for multiple attributes with the same name...
658 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
659 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
660 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
663 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
664 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
665 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
666 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
670 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
671 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
672 new Barry ID would look like a new change
673 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
674 - added support for slow sync
675 - added clear() to idmap class
676 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
677 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
678 - added Notification time support
679 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
680 does not exist in a vformat data block
681 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
682 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
683 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
684 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
685 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
686 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
687 special cases in the future
689 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
691 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
692 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
693 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
695 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
696 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
697 library API that is not yet finished... will be
698 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
699 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
701 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
702 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
703 the goal is to be able to do:
704 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
706 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
707 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
708 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
709 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
711 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
712 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
714 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
716 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
717 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
719 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
720 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
721 in general use will not break on build
722 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
723 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
724 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
726 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
728 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
729 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
730 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
731 SetIds() is already there
732 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
733 and moved into record.h
734 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
736 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
737 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
738 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
739 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
741 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
743 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
744 - changes to PIN message patch:
745 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
746 - fixed tab alignment throughout
747 - removed typedef from Address struct
748 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
749 going to be a standalone type
750 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
751 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
752 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
753 backing on a field for other use
754 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
755 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
756 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
757 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
758 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
759 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
760 PIN Message so that we store both of these
763 - added item to gui/TODO
764 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
766 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
767 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
768 modified to split into the new separate files system
769 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
770 - reformatted the code to match coding style
772 - added copyright notice
773 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
774 - placed in Barry namespace
775 - added #ifdef header protectors
776 - added new files to Makefile.am
777 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
778 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
779 Brian Edginton's patch
780 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
781 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
784 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
785 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
789 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
790 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
791 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
792 linker errors with the new file layout
794 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
795 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
796 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
798 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
799 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
800 and added a command line option to turn
801 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
802 - command line option --help now also works
803 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
804 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
805 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
806 localizing the constants in one place
808 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
809 fields in Contact and Calendar records
810 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
811 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
812 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
813 Outlook from the comments.
814 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
815 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
816 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
817 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
818 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
823 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
824 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
827 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
828 based on the example plugin in the opensync
829 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
833 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
834 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
835 and then success afterward
836 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
837 - added item to gui's todo list
838 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
842 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
846 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
847 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
849 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
850 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
851 - updated maintainer/README
852 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
854 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
855 - bumped release number in barry.spec
858 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
859 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
860 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
861 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
863 - added development note to README
865 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
868 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
869 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
872 - removed some unneeded trace logs
873 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
875 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
876 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
878 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
879 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
881 - opensync module work:
882 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
883 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
884 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
885 a hard coded calendar record state table
886 - added lots of logging throughout
887 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
888 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
889 causing another sync on the next run
890 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
891 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
892 written to the Blackberry
893 - more opensync module work:
894 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
895 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
896 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
897 the environment classes
898 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
899 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
901 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
902 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
903 a sample configuration
904 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
905 on success (opensync module)
906 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
907 - allowed comments in the config file
908 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
909 routines are not available from the plugin side
912 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
913 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
914 only use idProduct, and updated man page
915 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
916 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
917 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
918 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
919 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
920 and the old search didn't always work
921 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
922 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
923 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
924 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
925 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
926 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
927 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
928 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
929 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
931 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
932 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
933 the vevent20 data (experimental)
935 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
936 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
938 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
940 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
941 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
943 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
945 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
947 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
948 FullName, even if there was no last name)
949 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
950 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
951 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
952 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
953 this special case, without relying on string length.
954 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
955 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
956 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
958 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
960 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
961 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
962 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
963 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
964 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
965 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
966 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
967 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
968 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
970 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
971 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
973 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
974 udev rules for the Pearl
975 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
977 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
978 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
979 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
980 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
981 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
982 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
983 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
984 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
985 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
986 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
987 - added license file to each package
988 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
991 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
992 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
994 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
995 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
996 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
998 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
999 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1000 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1001 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1002 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1003 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1004 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1005 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1006 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1008 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1009 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1015 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1018 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1020 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1021 device discovery code
1022 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1023 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1024 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1025 than are really available... in this case, let's
1026 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1027 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1028 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1029 - ReleaseChecklist update
1030 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1031 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1034 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1035 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1037 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1038 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1039 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1040 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1041 no databases selected in configuration
1042 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1043 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1044 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1045 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1046 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1048 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1049 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1050 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1051 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1052 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1053 -v now controls this as well
1054 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1055 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1056 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1057 the beginning of USB conversations
1058 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1059 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1060 its sequence number behaviour
1061 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1062 socket 0 level command
1063 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1064 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1065 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1066 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1067 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1068 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1069 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1070 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1071 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1072 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1073 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1074 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1075 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1077 - updated controller.cc:
1078 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1079 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1080 selecting modes, as it should use the
1081 socket 0 sequence number
1082 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1083 - updated some .cvsignore files
1085 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1086 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1091 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1092 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1093 new PasswordChallenge struct
1094 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1095 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1096 password hashing logic.
1097 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1099 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1100 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1101 - major LDIF overhaul:
1102 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1104 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1105 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1106 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1108 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1110 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1111 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1113 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1114 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1115 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1116 - large update to btool manpage
1117 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1119 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1120 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1121 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1122 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1123 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1124 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1125 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1126 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1127 instead of hardcoding it.
1129 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1130 - minor tweaks to README
1131 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1132 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1133 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1134 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1135 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1136 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1137 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1139 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1140 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1141 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1142 - added iomanip to debug.h
1143 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1144 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1147 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1148 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1149 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1150 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1153 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1154 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1156 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1158 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1159 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1160 one base class: Barry::Error
1161 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1162 - added BadPassword exception
1168 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1169 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1170 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1171 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1172 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1173 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1174 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1176 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1177 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1178 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1179 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1180 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1181 due to pending reads
1183 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1184 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1186 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1187 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1188 - iostream output size fixes
1189 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1190 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1191 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1192 this is still experimental
1193 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1194 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1196 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1197 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1198 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1199 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1201 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1202 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1203 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1204 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1205 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1206 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1207 and record objects that use it.
1208 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1209 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1211 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1212 This returns the default rectype that should work
1213 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1214 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1215 records, this info would be good to know.
1216 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1217 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1218 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1219 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1220 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1221 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1222 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1223 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1224 - backup GUI updates:
1225 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1226 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1227 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1228 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1229 i.e. Backup or Restore
1230 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1231 it appears to be read-only on the device
1232 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1233 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1234 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1235 supported now by the library
1237 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1238 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1240 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1241 using the library should not care about endianness
1242 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1243 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1245 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1247 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1248 Version call instead
1249 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1251 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1252 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1253 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1255 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1256 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1257 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1259 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1260 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1261 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1262 through btool, for development
1263 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1264 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1265 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1266 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1267 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1268 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1269 exceptions need to be handled with
1270 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1271 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1272 - added pending gui/TODO items
1274 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1275 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1276 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1277 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1278 when we try to write to it)
1279 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1281 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1283 - updated copyright dates for the new year

1287 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1289 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1290 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1291 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1292 backups only at this point
1294 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1295 - added version API, returning version number and string
1296 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1297 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1298 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1299 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1301 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1302 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1304 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1305 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1306 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1307 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1309 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1311 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1313 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1314 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1316 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1318 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1319 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1321 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1322 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1323 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1324 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1325 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1326 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1328 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1329 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1330 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1332 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1333 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1334 a future Debian install
1335 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1336 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1337 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1338 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1340 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1341 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1342 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1358 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1359 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1360 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1361 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1362 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1364 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1365 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1366 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1367 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1368 properly when installed standalone
1369 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1370 installed barry library
1371 - added commentary on version number system
1372 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1373 system supercedes it

1401 uploading to device to fail
1403 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1405 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1406 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1407 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1408 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1409 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1410 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1412 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1413 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1414 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1415 exceptions leak into the C library code
1417 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1418 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1420 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1421 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1423 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1426 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1427 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1428 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1429 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1430 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1431 header of its own, in the case of email
1432 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1433 Record does not know the details of the packet
1434 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1435 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1436 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1437 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1438 the record format details, but does know the
1439 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1441 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1442 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1443 record formats being the same even with different
1444 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1445 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1446 See the header size of the email record after
1448 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1449 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1450 The Controller object does not know the format
1451 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1452 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1453 to talk to the device.
1454 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1456 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1458 - added sample hotplug scripts
1459 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1460 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1461 handle non-little-endian machines
1462 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1463 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1464 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1465 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1466 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1467 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1468 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1469 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1471 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1473 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1474 flags of individual blackberry device records

1481 - removed slow sync functions for now
1483 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1484 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1485 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1486 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1487 the base classes for all exceptions
1488 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1489 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1491 - added to Contact record class:
1493 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1494 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1495 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1503 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1505 - old and new description
1507 - bes domain / domain
1508 - date change in legal.txt
1509 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1510 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1511 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1512 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1513 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1515 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1516 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1517 - added AUTHORS file
1518 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1519 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1520 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1545 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1546 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1547 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1567 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1568 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1569 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1570 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1571 throw exception in controller.cc
1572 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1573 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1574 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1575 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1576 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1577 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1578 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1594 - added boost::serialization to build
1595 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1596 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1597 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1598 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1599 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1601 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1610 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1611 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1614 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1615 optimize away protocol struct casts

1621 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1622 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1623 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1624 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1626 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1649 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1650 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1651 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1652 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1653 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1654 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1655 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1656 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1657 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1658 seem to need more time...)
1659 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1660 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1661 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1662 with Python, if used(?)
1663 - added Message class for Email records
1664 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1665 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1682 a public API function
1683 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1684 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1686 - added mode checks to Controller
1687 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1688 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

1693 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1694 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1695 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1696 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1697 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1698 from the Command Table
1699 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1700 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1701 the Cassis spec more closely
1702 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1703 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1704 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1707 - added Doxyfile to the project
1709 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1710 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1711 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1713 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1714 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1715 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1716 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1717 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1718 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1719 less buffer than data copied
1720 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1721 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1722 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1723 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1725 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1726 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1728 - implemented socket::Close()
1729 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1731 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1733 - added .cvsignore files to project
1734 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1736 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1737 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1738 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1740 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1741 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1742 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1744 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1745 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1746 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1747 - regular debug output
1748 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1749 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1750 - raw data dump output
1751 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1752 numbers into english (limited success)
1753 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1754 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1755 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1756 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1757 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1758 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1759 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1760 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1761 for socket 0 operations.
1762 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1766 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1767 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1768 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1769 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1771 - syncberry tree started
