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

45 - updated rpm spec file history
46 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
47 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
48 and updated the build process to support them.
49 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
50 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
51 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
52 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc

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

302 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
303 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
305 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
306 to avoid the CVS directories
307 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
308 diff.gz and dsc files
309 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
310 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
313 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
314 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
315 real opensync libraries
317 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
318 building RPM's from CVS
319 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
320 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
321 on ./configure command line
323 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
324 so that the database name is stored as the first line
326 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
328 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
329 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
331 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
332 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
334 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
335 Paul Dugas for the tip
337 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
338 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
339 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
340 - updated AUTHORS file
342 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
343 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
344 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
345 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
346 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
347 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
348 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.

351 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
352 - updated copyright statments for 2008
354 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
356 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
357 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
362 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
366 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
369 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
372 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
373 - added pause to maintainer release script
379 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
383 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
385 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
386 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
388 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
389 search by busname / devname
390 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
391 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
392 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
393 bus/device names, and updated the man page
394 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
395 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
396 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
397 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
398 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
399 spec file for opensuse
401 - added better error checking to breset
402 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
403 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
404 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
405 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
406 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
407 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
408 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
410 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
411 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
412 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
413 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
414 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
415 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
416 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
417 make applications look more capable, not less.
418 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
419 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
420 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
423 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
424 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
427 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
428 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
429 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
430 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
431 at the same time as usb_storage.
432 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
433 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
434 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
435 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
436 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
437 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
438 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
439 fail naturally on these devices.
440 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
442 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
443 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
445 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
446 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
448 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
450 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
451 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
452 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
453 that release package builds can be done faster
455 - opensync plugin fixes:
456 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
457 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
458 and keep track of the hierarchy when
459 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
460 - added support for searching for attributes only
461 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
462 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
464 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
465 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
466 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
467 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
468 ToBarry conversion results
469 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
471 - fixed typo in previous fix
473 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
474 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
475 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
480 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
484 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
485 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
487 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
488 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
489 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
490 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
492 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
493 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
495 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
496 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
497 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
498 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
499 without recompiling the kernel.
500 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
502 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
503 information in README files to html format, so that it
504 is commonly available on the web
505 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
506 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
508 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
509 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
512 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
513 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
514 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
515 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
516 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
517 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
518 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
519 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
520 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
521 explanatory document for various system requirements
522 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
524 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
525 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
526 for opensuse rpm builds
528 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
529 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
530 - fixed build target to i386
531 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
534 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
535 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
536 will be updated more frequently
538 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
539 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
540 configure scripts to support external build directories
541 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
542 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
543 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
544 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
545 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
548 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
549 parse the comma separated string into an array,
551 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
552 and will affect backward compatibility with
553 old serialization datafiles
554 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
555 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
557 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
558 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
560 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
561 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
562 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
563 - fixed in opensync plugin:
564 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
565 so added lower case conversion routine
566 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
567 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
568 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
569 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
571 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
572 - added status message to endpoint override
574 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
575 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
576 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
577 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
578 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
579 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
581 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
582 The description is now part of the probe results
583 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
584 a new attribute definition.
585 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
586 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
587 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
588 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
589 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
590 in order to better support SWIG and Python
592 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
593 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
594 settings automatically where possible
595 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
596 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
598 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
599 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
600 error.cc is now an empty shell
601 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
602 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
603 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
604 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
605 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
607 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
612 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
616 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
617 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
618 that may fail under normal operation, in this case

627 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
629 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
630 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
631 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
632 endian bug in the process)
633 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
634 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
635 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
636 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
637 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
638 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
639 - opensync-plugin/README update
640 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
641 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
642 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
644 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
646 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
649 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
650 for the broken-down name instead of N
651 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
652 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
653 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
654 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
655 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
656 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
657 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
658 registered two. Moving to single change commit
659 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
660 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
661 ease memory pressure in the library.
662 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
664 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
665 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
666 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
668 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
670 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
671 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
672 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
673 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
674 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
675 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
676 record into the device.... First/Last Name
677 fields are position sensitive, and the code
678 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
679 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
680 were not updated to handle the new field
681 table added for the postal address changes
684 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
685 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
686 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
687 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
688 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
689 UID strings, instead of just numbers
690 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
691 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
692 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
693 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
694 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
696 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
697 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
698 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
699 sync the wrong device and lose data.
700 Actions to take on new PIN:
701 - force slow_sync, or
703 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
704 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
705 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
706 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
708 - changed PIN error message number to hex
710 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
711 "Backup in progress..."
712 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
713 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
714 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
715 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
716 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
717 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
718 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
719 a new class called PostalAddress
720 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
721 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
722 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
723 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
725 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
727 - added vCard converter class
728 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
729 of empty attribute values and parameters,
730 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
731 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
732 an extra nth argument, in order to search
733 for multiple attributes with the same name...
734 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
735 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
736 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
739 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
740 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
741 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
742 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
746 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
747 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
748 new Barry ID would look like a new change
749 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
750 - added support for slow sync
751 - added clear() to idmap class
752 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
753 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
754 - added Notification time support
755 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
756 does not exist in a vformat data block
757 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
758 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
759 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
760 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
761 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
762 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
763 special cases in the future
765 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
767 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
768 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
769 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
771 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
772 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
773 library API that is not yet finished... will be
774 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
775 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
777 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
778 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
779 the goal is to be able to do:
780 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
782 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
783 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
784 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
785 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
787 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
788 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
790 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
792 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
793 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
795 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
796 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
797 in general use will not break on build
798 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
799 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
800 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
802 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
804 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
805 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
806 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
807 SetIds() is already there
808 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
809 and moved into record.h
810 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
812 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
813 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
814 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
815 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
817 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
819 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
820 - changes to PIN message patch:
821 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
822 - fixed tab alignment throughout
823 - removed typedef from Address struct
824 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
825 going to be a standalone type
826 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
827 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
828 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
829 backing on a field for other use
830 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
831 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
832 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
833 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
834 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
835 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
836 PIN Message so that we store both of these
839 - added item to gui/TODO
840 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
842 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
843 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
844 modified to split into the new separate files system
845 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
846 - reformatted the code to match coding style
848 - added copyright notice
849 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
850 - placed in Barry namespace
851 - added #ifdef header protectors
852 - added new files to Makefile.am
853 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
854 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
855 Brian Edginton's patch
856 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
857 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
860 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
861 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
865 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
866 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
867 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
868 linker errors with the new file layout
870 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
871 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
872 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
874 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
875 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
876 and added a command line option to turn
877 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
878 - command line option --help now also works
879 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
880 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
881 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
882 localizing the constants in one place
884 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
885 fields in Contact and Calendar records
886 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
887 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
888 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
889 Outlook from the comments.
890 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
891 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
892 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
893 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
894 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
899 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
900 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
903 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
904 based on the example plugin in the opensync
905 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
909 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
910 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
911 and then success afterward
912 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
913 - added item to gui's todo list
914 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
918 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
922 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
923 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
925 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
926 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
927 - updated maintainer/README
928 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
930 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
931 - bumped release number in barry.spec
934 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
935 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
936 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
937 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
939 - added development note to README
941 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
944 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
945 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
948 - removed some unneeded trace logs
949 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
951 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
952 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
954 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
955 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
957 - opensync module work:
958 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
959 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
960 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
961 a hard coded calendar record state table
962 - added lots of logging throughout
963 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
964 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
965 causing another sync on the next run
966 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
967 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
968 written to the Blackberry
969 - more opensync module work:
970 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
971 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
972 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
973 the environment classes
974 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
975 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
977 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
978 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
979 a sample configuration
980 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
981 on success (opensync module)
982 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
983 - allowed comments in the config file
984 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
985 routines are not available from the plugin side
988 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
989 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
990 only use idProduct, and updated man page
991 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
992 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
993 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
994 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
995 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
996 and the old search didn't always work
997 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
998 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
999 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1000 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1001 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1002 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1003 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1004 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1005 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1007 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1008 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1009 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1011 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1012 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1014 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1016 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1017 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1019 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1021 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1023 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1024 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1025 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1026 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1027 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1028 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1029 this special case, without relying on string length.
1030 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1031 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1032 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1034 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1036 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1037 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1038 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1039 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1040 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1041 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1042 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1043 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1044 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1046 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1047 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1049 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1050 udev rules for the Pearl
1051 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1053 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1054 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1055 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1056 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1057 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1058 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1059 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1060 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1061 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1062 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1063 - added license file to each package
1064 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1067 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1068 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1070 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1071 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1072 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1074 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1075 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1076 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1077 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1078 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1079 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1080 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1081 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1082 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1084 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1085 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1091 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1094 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1096 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1097 device discovery code
1098 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1099 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1100 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1101 than are really available... in this case, let's
1102 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1103 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1104 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1105 - ReleaseChecklist update
1106 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1107 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1110 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1113 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1114 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1115 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1116 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1117 no databases selected in configuration
1118 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1119 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1120 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1121 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1122 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1124 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1125 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1126 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1127 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1128 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1129 -v now controls this as well
1130 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1131 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1132 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1133 the beginning of USB conversations
1134 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1135 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1136 its sequence number behaviour
1137 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1138 socket 0 level command
1139 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1140 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1141 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1142 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1143 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1144 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1145 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1146 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1147 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1148 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1149 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1150 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1151 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1153 - updated controller.cc:
1154 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1155 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1156 selecting modes, as it should use the
1157 socket 0 sequence number
1158 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1159 - updated some .cvsignore files
1161 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1162 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1167 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1168 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1169 new PasswordChallenge struct
1170 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1171 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1172 password hashing logic.
1173 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1175 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1176 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1177 - major LDIF overhaul:
1178 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1180 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1181 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1182 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1184 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1186 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1187 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1189 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1190 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1191 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1192 - large update to btool manpage
1193 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1195 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1196 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1197 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1198 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1199 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1200 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1201 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1202 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1203 instead of hardcoding it.
1205 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1206 - minor tweaks to README
1207 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1208 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1209 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1210 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1211 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1212 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1213 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1215 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1216 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1217 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1218 - added iomanip to debug.h
1219 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1220 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1223 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1224 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1225 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1226 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1229 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1230 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1232 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1234 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1235 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1236 one base class: Barry::Error
1237 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1238 - added BadPassword exception
1244 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1245 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1246 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1247 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1248 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1249 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1250 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1252 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1253 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1254 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1255 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1256 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1257 due to pending reads
1259 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1260 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1262 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1263 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1264 - iostream output size fixes
1265 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1266 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1267 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1268 this is still experimental
1269 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1270 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1272 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1273 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1274 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1275 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1277 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1278 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1279 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1280 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1281 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1282 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1283 and record objects that use it.
1284 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1285 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1287 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1288 This returns the default rectype that should work
1289 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1290 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1291 records, this info would be good to know.
1292 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1293 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1294 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1295 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1296 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1297 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1298 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1299 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1300 - backup GUI updates:
1301 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1302 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1303 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1304 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1305 i.e. Backup or Restore
1306 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1307 it appears to be read-only on the device
1308 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1309 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1310 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1311 supported now by the library
1313 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1314 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1316 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1317 using the library should not care about endianness
1318 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1319 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1321 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1323 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1324 Version call instead
1325 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1327 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1328 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1329 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1331 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1332 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1333 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1335 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1336 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1337 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1338 through btool, for development
1339 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1340 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1341 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1342 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1343 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1344 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1345 exceptions need to be handled with
1346 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1347 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1348 - added pending gui/TODO items
1350 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1351 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1352 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1353 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1354 when we try to write to it)
1355 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1357 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1359 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1360 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1361 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1362 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1363 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1365 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1366 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1367 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1368 backups only at this point
1370 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1371 - added version API, returning version number and string
1372 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1373 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1374 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1375 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1377 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1378 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1380 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1381 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1382 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1383 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1385 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1387 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1389 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1390 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1392 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1394 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1395 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1397 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1398 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1399 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1400 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1401 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1402 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1404 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1405 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1406 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1408 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1409 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1410 a future Debian install
1411 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1412 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1413 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1414 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1416 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1417 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1418 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1419 - fixed more endian issues
1420 - minor update to TODO
1422 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1423 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1425 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1426 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1427 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1428 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1430 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1431 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1432 on old build system if wanted
1433 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1434 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1435 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1436 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1437 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1438 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1440 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1441 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1442 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1443 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1444 properly when installed standalone
1445 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1446 installed barry library
1447 - added commentary on version number system
1448 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1449 system supercedes it
1450 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1451 - added library version number to autoconf build
1452 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1453 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1471 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1473 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1474 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1476 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1477 uploading to device to fail
1479 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1481 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1482 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1483 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1484 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1485 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1486 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1488 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1489 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1490 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1491 exceptions leak into the C library code
1493 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1494 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1496 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1497 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1499 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1502 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1503 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1504 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1505 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1506 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1507 header of its own, in the case of email
1508 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1509 Record does not know the details of the packet
1510 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1511 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1512 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1513 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1514 the record format details, but does know the
1515 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1517 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1518 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1519 record formats being the same even with different
1520 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1521 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1522 See the header size of the email record after
1524 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1525 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1526 The Controller object does not know the format
1527 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1528 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1529 to talk to the device.
1530 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1532 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1534 - added sample hotplug scripts
1535 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1536 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1537 handle non-little-endian machines
1538 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1539 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1540 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1541 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1542 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1543 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1544 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1545 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1547 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1549 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1550 flags of individual blackberry device records
1551 - added endian macros throughout the code
1553 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1554 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1555 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1557 - removed slow sync functions for now
1559 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1560 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1561 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1562 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1563 the base classes for all exceptions
1564 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1565 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1567 - added to Contact record class:
1569 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1570 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1571 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1574 and upload it to a blackberry
1575 - updated src/.cvsignore
1577 - added parsing of service book fields:
1579 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1581 - old and new description
1583 - bes domain / domain
1584 - date change in legal.txt
1585 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1586 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1587 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1588 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1589 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1591 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1592 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1593 - added AUTHORS file
1594 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1595 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1596 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1598 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1599 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1601 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1605 to the Controller class
1606 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1607 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1608 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1609 support of the template Controller functions

1613 of Controller template member usage
1615 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1617 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1618 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1643 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1644 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1645 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1646 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1647 throw exception in controller.cc
1648 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1649 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1650 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1651 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1652 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1653 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1654 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1655 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1670 - added boost::serialization to build
1671 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1672 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1673 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1674 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1675 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1677 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1678 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1679 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1680 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1682 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc

1684 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1685 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1686 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1687 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1690 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1691 optimize away protocol struct casts

1697 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1698 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1699 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1700 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1702 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1725 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1726 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1727 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1728 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1729 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1730 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1731 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1732 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1733 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1734 seem to need more time...)
1735 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1736 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1737 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1738 with Python, if used(?)
1739 - added Message class for Email records
1740 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1741 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1742 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1755 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1756 better suited to its general API purpose
1757 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1758 a public API function
1759 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1760 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1762 - added mode checks to Controller
1763 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1764 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1765 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1768 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1769 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1770 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1771 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1772 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1773 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1774 from the Command Table
1775 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1776 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1777 the Cassis spec more closely
1778 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1779 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1780 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1783 - added Doxyfile to the project
1785 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1786 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1787 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1789 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1790 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1791 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1792 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1793 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1794 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1795 less buffer than data copied
1796 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1797 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1798 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1799 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1801 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1802 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1804 - implemented socket::Close()
1805 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1806 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1807 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1809 - added .cvsignore files to project
1810 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1811 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1812 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1813 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1814 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1816 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1817 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1818 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1820 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1821 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1822 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1823 - regular debug output
1824 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1825 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1826 - raw data dump output
1827 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1828 numbers into english (limited success)
1829 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1830 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1831 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1832 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1833 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1834 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1835 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1836 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1837 for socket 0 operations.
1838 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1842 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1843 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1844 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1845 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1847 - syncberry tree started
