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

113 that doesn't respond won't halt everything
114 - refactored some of the probe code, and added checks for
116 - added Probe::DumpAll()
117 - added Open() call to pppob.cc (not yet complete)

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

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

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

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

826 - updated maintainer/README
827 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
829 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
830 - bumped release number in barry.spec
833 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
834 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
835 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
836 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
838 - added development note to README
840 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
843 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
844 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
847 - removed some unneeded trace logs
848 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
850 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
851 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
853 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
854 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
856 - opensync module work:
857 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
858 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
859 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
860 a hard coded calendar record state table
861 - added lots of logging throughout
862 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
863 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
864 causing another sync on the next run
865 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
866 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
867 written to the Blackberry
868 - more opensync module work:
869 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
870 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
871 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
872 the environment classes
873 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
874 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
876 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
877 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
878 a sample configuration
879 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
880 on success (opensync module)
881 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
882 - allowed comments in the config file
883 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
884 routines are not available from the plugin side
887 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
888 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
889 only use idProduct, and updated man page
890 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
891 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
892 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
893 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
894 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
895 and the old search didn't always work
896 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
897 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
898 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
899 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
900 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
901 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
902 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
903 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
904 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
906 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
907 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
908 the vevent20 data (experimental)
910 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
911 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
913 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
915 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
916 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
918 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
920 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
922 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
923 FullName, even if there was no last name)
924 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
925 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
926 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
927 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
928 this special case, without relying on string length.
929 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
930 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
931 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
933 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
935 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
936 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
937 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
938 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
939 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
940 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
941 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
942 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
943 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
945 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
946 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
948 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
949 udev rules for the Pearl
950 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
952 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
953 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
954 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
955 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
956 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
957 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
958 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
959 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
960 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
961 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
962 - added license file to each package
963 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
966 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
967 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
969 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
970 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
971 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
973 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
974 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
975 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
976 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
977 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
978 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
979 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
980 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
981 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
983 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
984 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
990 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
993 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
995 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
996 device discovery code
997 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
998 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
999 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1000 than are really available... in this case, let's
1001 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1002 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1003 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1004 - ReleaseChecklist update
1005 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1006 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1009 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1012 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1013 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1014 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1015 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1016 no databases selected in configuration
1017 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1018 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1019 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1020 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1021 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1023 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1024 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1025 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1026 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1027 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1028 -v now controls this as well
1029 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1030 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1031 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1032 the beginning of USB conversations
1033 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1034 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1035 its sequence number behaviour
1036 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1037 socket 0 level command
1038 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1039 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1040 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1041 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1042 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1043 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1044 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1045 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1046 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1047 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1048 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1049 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1050 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1052 - updated controller.cc:
1053 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1054 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1055 selecting modes, as it should use the
1056 socket 0 sequence number
1057 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1058 - updated some .cvsignore files
1060 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1061 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1066 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1067 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1068 new PasswordChallenge struct
1069 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1070 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1071 password hashing logic.
1072 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1074 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1075 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1076 - major LDIF overhaul:
1077 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1079 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1080 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1081 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1083 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1085 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1086 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1088 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1089 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1090 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1091 - large update to btool manpage
1092 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1094 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1095 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1096 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1097 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1098 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1099 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1100 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1101 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1102 instead of hardcoding it.
1104 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1105 - minor tweaks to README
1106 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1107 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1108 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1109 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1110 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1111 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1112 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1114 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1115 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1116 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1117 - added iomanip to debug.h
1118 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1119 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1122 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1123 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1124 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1125 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1128 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1129 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1131 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1133 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1134 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1135 one base class: Barry::Error
1136 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1137 - added BadPassword exception
1143 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1144 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1145 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1146 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1147 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1148 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1149 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1151 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1152 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1153 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1154 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1155 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1156 due to pending reads
1158 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1159 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1161 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1162 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1163 - iostream output size fixes
1164 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1165 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1166 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1167 this is still experimental
1168 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1169 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1171 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1172 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1173 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1174 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1176 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1177 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1178 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1179 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1180 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1181 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1182 and record objects that use it.
1183 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1184 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1186 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1187 This returns the default rectype that should work
1188 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1189 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1190 records, this info would be good to know.
1191 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1192 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1193 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1194 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1195 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1196 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1197 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1198 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1199 - backup GUI updates:
1200 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1201 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1202 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1203 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1204 i.e. Backup or Restore
1205 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1206 it appears to be read-only on the device
1207 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1208 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1209 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1210 supported now by the library
1212 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1213 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1215 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1216 using the library should not care about endianness
1217 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1218 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1220 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1222 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1223 Version call instead
1224 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1226 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1227 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1228 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1230 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1231 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1232 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1234 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1235 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1236 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1237 through btool, for development
1238 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1239 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1240 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1241 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1242 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1243 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,

1245 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1246 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1247 - added pending gui/TODO items
1249 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1250 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy

1252 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1253 when we try to write to it)

1270 - added version API, returning version number and string
1271 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1272 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1273 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake

1276 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1277 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1279 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1280 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1281 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1282 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1284 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1286 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1288 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1289 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1291 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1293 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1294 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1296 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1297 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1298 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1299 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1300 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1301 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1303 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1304 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage

1313 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1315 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1316 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1317 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1336 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1337 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1339 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1340 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1341 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1342 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1343 properly when installed standalone
1344 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1345 installed barry library
1346 - added commentary on version number system

1383 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1384 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1385 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1387 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1388 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1389 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1390 exceptions leak into the C library code
1392 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1393 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1395 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1396 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1398 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1401 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1402 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1403 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1404 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1405 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1406 header of its own, in the case of email
1407 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1408 Record does not know the details of the packet
1409 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1410 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1411 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1412 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1413 the record format details, but does know the
1414 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1416 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1417 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1418 record formats being the same even with different
1419 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1420 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1421 See the header size of the email record after
1423 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1424 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1425 The Controller object does not know the format
1426 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1427 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1428 to talk to the device.
1429 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1431 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1433 - added sample hotplug scripts
1434 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1435 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1436 handle non-little-endian machines
1437 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1438 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1439 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1440 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1441 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1442 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1443 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1444 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1446 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1448 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1449 flags of individual blackberry device records

1456 - removed slow sync functions for now
1458 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1459 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1460 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1461 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1462 the base classes for all exceptions
1463 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1464 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1478 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1480 - old and new description
1482 - bes domain / domain
1483 - date change in legal.txt
1484 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1485 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1486 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1487 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1488 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1490 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1491 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1492 - added AUTHORS file
1493 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1494 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1495 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1543 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1544 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1545 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1546 throw exception in controller.cc
1547 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1548 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1549 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1550 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1551 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1552 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1553 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1570 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1571 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1572 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1573 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1574 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1576 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1596 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1597 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1598 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1599 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h

1624 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1625 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1626 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1627 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1628 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1629 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1630 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1631 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1632 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1633 seem to need more time...)
1634 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1635 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1636 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1637 with Python, if used(?)
1638 - added Message class for Email records
1639 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1640 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1669 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1670 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1671 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1672 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1673 from the Command Table
1674 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1675 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1676 the Cassis spec more closely
1677 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1678 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1679 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1682 - added Doxyfile to the project
1684 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1685 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1686 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1688 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1689 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1690 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1691 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1693 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1694 less buffer than data copied
1695 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1696 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1697 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1698 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1700 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1701 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1703 - implemented socket::Close()
1704 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0

1706 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1708 - added .cvsignore files to project
1709 - added README notes to document the source architecture

1712 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1713 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1715 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1716 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1717 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1719 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1720 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1721 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1722 - regular debug output
1723 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1724 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1725 - raw data dump output
1726 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1727 numbers into english (limited success)
1728 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1729 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1730 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1731 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1732 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1733 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1734 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1735 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1736 for socket 0 operations.
1737 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1741 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1742 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1743 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1744 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1746 - syncberry tree started
