1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/06/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added modem reset workaround to web documentation page
6 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
7 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
8 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
9 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
10 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
11 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
12 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
13 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
15 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
16 - documentation updates:
17 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
18 - added instructions for building from tarball

22 Andy Herkey's mailing list report
24 - added Ubuntu 8.04 to release build scripts
26 - fixed compile errors in gui when compiling with gcc 4.3.x
27 - added ppp options and chatscript files to RPM build

32 - updated rpm spec file history
33 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
34 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
35 and updated the build process to support them.
36 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
37 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
38 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
39 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc
40 - deleted old src/Makefile.orig
41 - updated Debian binary package:
42 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, pppob, upldif,
44 - added ppp options and chat scripts, with postinit
45 script to set permissions
46 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
48 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
49 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
50 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
52 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs

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

287 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
289 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
290 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
292 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
293 to avoid the CVS directories
294 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
295 diff.gz and dsc files
296 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
297 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
300 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
301 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
302 real opensync libraries
304 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
305 building RPM's from CVS
306 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
307 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
308 on ./configure command line
310 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
311 so that the database name is stored as the first line
313 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
315 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
316 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
318 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
319 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
321 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
322 Paul Dugas for the tip
324 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
325 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
326 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
327 - updated AUTHORS file
329 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
330 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
331 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
332 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
333 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
334 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
335 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
336 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
338 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
339 - updated copyright statments for 2008
341 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
343 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
344 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
349 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
353 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
356 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
357 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
359 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
360 - added pause to maintainer release script
366 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
370 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
372 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
373 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
375 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
376 search by busname / devname
377 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
378 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
379 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
380 bus/device names, and updated the man page
381 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
382 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
383 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
384 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
385 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
386 spec file for opensuse
388 - added better error checking to breset
389 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
390 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
391 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
392 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
393 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
394 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
395 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
397 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
398 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
399 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
400 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
401 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
402 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
403 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
404 make applications look more capable, not less.
405 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
406 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
407 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
410 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
411 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
414 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
415 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
416 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
417 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
418 at the same time as usb_storage.
419 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
420 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
421 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
422 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
423 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
424 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
425 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
426 fail naturally on these devices.
427 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
429 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
430 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
432 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
433 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
435 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
437 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
438 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
439 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
440 that release package builds can be done faster
442 - opensync plugin fixes:
443 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
444 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
445 and keep track of the hierarchy when
446 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
447 - added support for searching for attributes only
448 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
449 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
451 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
452 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
453 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
454 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
455 ToBarry conversion results
456 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
458 - fixed typo in previous fix
460 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
461 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
462 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
467 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
471 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
472 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
474 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
475 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
476 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
477 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
479 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
480 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
482 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
483 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
484 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
485 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
486 without recompiling the kernel.
487 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
489 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
490 information in README files to html format, so that it
491 is commonly available on the web
492 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
493 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
495 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
496 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
499 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
500 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
501 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
502 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
503 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
504 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
505 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
506 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
507 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
508 explanatory document for various system requirements
509 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
511 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
512 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
513 for opensuse rpm builds
515 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
516 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
517 - fixed build target to i386
518 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
521 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
522 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
523 will be updated more frequently
525 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
526 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
527 configure scripts to support external build directories
528 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
529 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
530 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
531 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
532 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
535 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
536 parse the comma separated string into an array,
538 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
539 and will affect backward compatibility with
540 old serialization datafiles
541 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
542 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
544 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
545 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
547 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
548 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
549 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
550 - fixed in opensync plugin:
551 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
552 so added lower case conversion routine
553 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
554 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
555 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
556 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
558 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
559 - added status message to endpoint override
561 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
562 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
563 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
564 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
565 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
566 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
568 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
569 The description is now part of the probe results
570 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
571 a new attribute definition.
572 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
573 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
574 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
575 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
576 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
577 in order to better support SWIG and Python
579 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
580 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
581 settings automatically where possible
582 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
583 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
585 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
586 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
587 error.cc is now an empty shell
588 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
589 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
590 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
591 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
592 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
594 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
599 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
603 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
604 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
605 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
607 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
608 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
610 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
611 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
612 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
613 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
614 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
616 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
617 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
618 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
619 endian bug in the process)
620 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
621 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
622 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
623 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
624 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
625 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
626 - opensync-plugin/README update
627 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
628 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
629 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
631 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
633 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
636 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
637 for the broken-down name instead of N
638 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
639 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
640 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
641 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
642 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
643 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
644 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
645 registered two. Moving to single change commit
646 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
647 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
648 ease memory pressure in the library.
649 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
651 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
652 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
653 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
655 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
657 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
658 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
659 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
660 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
661 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
662 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
663 record into the device.... First/Last Name
664 fields are position sensitive, and the code
665 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
666 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
667 were not updated to handle the new field
668 table added for the postal address changes
671 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
672 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
673 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
674 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
675 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
676 UID strings, instead of just numbers
677 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
678 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
679 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
680 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
681 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
683 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
684 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
685 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
686 sync the wrong device and lose data.
687 Actions to take on new PIN:
688 - force slow_sync, or
690 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
691 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
692 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
693 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
695 - changed PIN error message number to hex
697 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
698 "Backup in progress..."
699 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
700 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
701 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
702 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
703 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
704 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
705 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
706 a new class called PostalAddress
707 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
708 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
709 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
710 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
712 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
714 - added vCard converter class
715 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
716 of empty attribute values and parameters,
717 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
718 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
719 an extra nth argument, in order to search
720 for multiple attributes with the same name...
721 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
722 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
723 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
726 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
727 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
728 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
729 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
733 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
734 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
735 new Barry ID would look like a new change
736 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
737 - added support for slow sync
738 - added clear() to idmap class
739 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
740 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
741 - added Notification time support
742 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
743 does not exist in a vformat data block
744 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
745 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
746 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
747 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
748 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
749 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
750 special cases in the future
752 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
754 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
755 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
756 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
758 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
759 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
760 library API that is not yet finished... will be
761 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
762 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
764 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
765 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
766 the goal is to be able to do:
767 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
769 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
770 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
771 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
772 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
774 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
775 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
777 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
779 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
780 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
782 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
783 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
784 in general use will not break on build
785 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
786 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
787 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
789 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
791 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
792 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
793 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
794 SetIds() is already there
795 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
796 and moved into record.h
797 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
799 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
800 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
801 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
802 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
804 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
806 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
807 - changes to PIN message patch:
808 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
809 - fixed tab alignment throughout
810 - removed typedef from Address struct
811 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
812 going to be a standalone type
813 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
814 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
815 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
816 backing on a field for other use
817 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
818 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
819 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
820 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
821 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
822 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
823 PIN Message so that we store both of these
826 - added item to gui/TODO
827 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
829 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
830 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
831 modified to split into the new separate files system
832 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
833 - reformatted the code to match coding style
835 - added copyright notice
836 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
837 - placed in Barry namespace
838 - added #ifdef header protectors
839 - added new files to Makefile.am
840 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
841 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
842 Brian Edginton's patch
843 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
844 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
847 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
848 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
852 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
853 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
854 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
855 linker errors with the new file layout
857 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
858 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
859 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
861 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
862 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
863 and added a command line option to turn
864 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
865 - command line option --help now also works
866 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
867 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
868 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
869 localizing the constants in one place
871 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
872 fields in Contact and Calendar records
873 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
874 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
875 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
876 Outlook from the comments.
877 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
878 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
879 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
880 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
881 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
886 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
887 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
890 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
891 based on the example plugin in the opensync
892 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
896 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
897 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
898 and then success afterward
899 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
900 - added item to gui's todo list
901 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
905 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
909 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
910 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
912 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
913 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
914 - updated maintainer/README
915 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
917 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
918 - bumped release number in barry.spec
921 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
922 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
923 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
924 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
926 - added development note to README
928 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
931 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
932 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
935 - removed some unneeded trace logs
936 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
938 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
939 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
941 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
942 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
944 - opensync module work:
945 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
946 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
947 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
948 a hard coded calendar record state table
949 - added lots of logging throughout
950 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
951 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
952 causing another sync on the next run
953 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
954 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
955 written to the Blackberry
956 - more opensync module work:
957 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
958 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
959 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
960 the environment classes
961 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
962 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
964 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
965 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
966 a sample configuration
967 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
968 on success (opensync module)
969 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
970 - allowed comments in the config file
971 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
972 routines are not available from the plugin side
975 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
976 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
977 only use idProduct, and updated man page
978 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
979 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
980 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
981 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
982 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
983 and the old search didn't always work
984 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
985 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
986 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
987 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
988 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
989 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
990 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
991 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
992 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
994 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
995 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
996 the vevent20 data (experimental)
998 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
999 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1001 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1003 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1004 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1006 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1008 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1010 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1011 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1012 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1013 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1014 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1015 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1016 this special case, without relying on string length.
1017 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1018 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1019 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1021 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1023 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1024 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1025 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1026 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1027 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1028 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1029 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1030 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1031 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1033 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1034 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1036 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1037 udev rules for the Pearl
1038 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1040 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1041 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1042 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1043 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1044 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1045 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1046 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1047 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1048 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1049 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1050 - added license file to each package
1051 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1054 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1055 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1057 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1058 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1059 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1061 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1062 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1063 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1064 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1065 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1066 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1067 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1068 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1069 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1071 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1072 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1078 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1081 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1083 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1084 device discovery code
1085 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1086 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1087 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1088 than are really available... in this case, let's
1089 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1090 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1091 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1092 - ReleaseChecklist update
1093 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1094 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1097 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1098 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1100 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1101 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1102 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1103 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1104 no databases selected in configuration
1105 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1106 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1107 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1108 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1109 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1111 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1112 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1113 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1114 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1115 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1116 -v now controls this as well
1117 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1118 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1119 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1120 the beginning of USB conversations
1121 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1122 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1123 its sequence number behaviour
1124 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1125 socket 0 level command
1126 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1127 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1128 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1129 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1130 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1131 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1132 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1133 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1134 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1135 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1136 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1137 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1138 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1140 - updated controller.cc:
1141 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1142 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1143 selecting modes, as it should use the
1144 socket 0 sequence number
1145 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1146 - updated some .cvsignore files
1148 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1149 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1154 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1155 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1156 new PasswordChallenge struct
1157 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1158 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1159 password hashing logic.
1160 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1162 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1163 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1164 - major LDIF overhaul:
1165 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1167 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1168 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1169 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1171 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1173 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1174 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1176 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1177 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1178 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1179 - large update to btool manpage
1180 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1182 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1183 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1184 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1185 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1186 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1187 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1188 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1189 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1190 instead of hardcoding it.
1192 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1193 - minor tweaks to README
1194 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1195 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1196 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1197 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1198 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1199 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1200 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1202 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1203 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1204 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1205 - added iomanip to debug.h
1206 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1207 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1210 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1211 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1212 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1213 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1216 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1217 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1219 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1221 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1222 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1223 one base class: Barry::Error
1224 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1225 - added BadPassword exception
1231 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1232 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1233 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1234 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1235 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1236 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1237 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1239 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1240 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1241 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1242 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1243 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1244 due to pending reads
1246 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1247 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1249 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1250 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1251 - iostream output size fixes
1252 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1253 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1254 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1255 this is still experimental
1256 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1257 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1259 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1260 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1261 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1262 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1264 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1265 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1266 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1267 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1268 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1269 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1270 and record objects that use it.
1271 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1272 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1274 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1275 This returns the default rectype that should work
1276 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1277 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1278 records, this info would be good to know.
1279 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1280 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1281 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1282 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1283 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1284 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1285 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1286 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1287 - backup GUI updates:
1288 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1289 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1290 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1291 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1292 i.e. Backup or Restore
1293 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1294 it appears to be read-only on the device
1295 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1296 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1297 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1298 supported now by the library
1300 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1301 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1303 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1304 using the library should not care about endianness
1305 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1306 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1308 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1310 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1311 Version call instead
1312 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1314 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1315 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1316 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1318 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1319 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1320 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1322 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1323 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1324 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1325 through btool, for development
1326 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1327 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1328 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1329 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1330 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1331 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1332 exceptions need to be handled with
1333 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1334 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1335 - added pending gui/TODO items
1337 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1338 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1339 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1340 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1341 when we try to write to it)
1342 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1344 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1346 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1347 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1348 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1349 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1350 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1352 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1353 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1354 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1355 backups only at this point
1357 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1358 - added version API, returning version number and string
1359 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1360 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1361 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1362 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1364 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1365 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1367 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1368 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1369 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1370 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1372 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1374 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1376 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1377 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1379 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1381 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1382 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1384 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1385 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1386 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1387 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1388 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1389 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1391 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1392 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1393 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1395 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1396 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1397 a future Debian install
1398 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1399 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1400 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1401 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1403 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1404 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1405 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1406 - fixed more endian issues
1407 - minor update to TODO
1409 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1410 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1412 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1413 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1414 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1415 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1417 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1418 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1419 on old build system if wanted
1420 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1421 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1422 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1423 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1424 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1425 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1427 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1428 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1429 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1430 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1431 properly when installed standalone
1432 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1433 installed barry library
1434 - added commentary on version number system
1435 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1436 system supercedes it
1437 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1438 - added library version number to autoconf build
1439 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1440 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
1441 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
1442 option... may need to revisit this later

1458 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1460 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1461 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1463 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1464 uploading to device to fail
1466 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1468 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1469 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1470 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1471 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1472 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1473 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1475 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1476 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1477 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1478 exceptions leak into the C library code
1480 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1481 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1483 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1484 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1486 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1489 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1490 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1491 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1492 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1493 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1494 header of its own, in the case of email
1495 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1496 Record does not know the details of the packet
1497 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1498 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1499 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1500 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1501 the record format details, but does know the
1502 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1504 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1505 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1506 record formats being the same even with different
1507 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1508 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1509 See the header size of the email record after
1511 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1512 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1513 The Controller object does not know the format
1514 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1515 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1516 to talk to the device.
1517 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1519 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1521 - added sample hotplug scripts
1522 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1523 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1524 handle non-little-endian machines
1525 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1526 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1527 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1528 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1529 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1530 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1531 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1532 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1534 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1536 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1537 flags of individual blackberry device records
1538 - added endian macros throughout the code
1540 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1541 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1542 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1544 - removed slow sync functions for now
1546 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1547 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1548 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1549 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1550 the base classes for all exceptions
1551 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1552 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1554 - added to Contact record class:
1556 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1557 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1558 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1560 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1561 and upload it to a blackberry
1562 - updated src/.cvsignore
1564 - added parsing of service book fields:
1566 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1568 - old and new description
1570 - bes domain / domain
1571 - date change in legal.txt
1572 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1573 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1574 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1575 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1576 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1578 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1579 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1580 - added AUTHORS file
1581 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1582 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1583 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1585 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1586 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1588 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1590 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile
1591 - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members
1592 to the Controller class
1593 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1594 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1595 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1596 support of the template Controller functions
1597 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1598 returning errors properly

1600 of Controller template member usage
1602 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1604 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1605 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1607 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1608 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1609 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1610 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1611 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1612 constants... constants are now removed
1613 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1614 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)

1624 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1625 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1626 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1627 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1628 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1630 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1631 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1632 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1633 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1634 throw exception in controller.cc
1635 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1636 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1637 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1638 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1639 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1640 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1641 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1642 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1646 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1647 be reused for upload and download
1648 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1649 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1650 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data

1657 - added boost::serialization to build
1658 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1659 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1660 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1661 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1662 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1664 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1665 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1666 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1667 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1669 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc

1671 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1672 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1673 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1674 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1677 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1678 optimize away protocol struct casts

1684 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1685 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1686 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1687 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1689 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1710 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1712 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1713 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1714 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1715 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1716 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1717 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1718 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1719 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1720 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1721 seem to need more time...)
1722 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1723 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1724 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1725 with Python, if used(?)
1726 - added Message class for Email records
1727 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1728 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1729 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1730 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1731 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1732 - cleaned up comments

1742 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1743 better suited to its general API purpose
1744 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1745 a public API function
1746 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1747 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1749 - added mode checks to Controller
1750 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1751 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1752 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1755 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1756 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1757 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1758 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1759 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1760 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1761 from the Command Table
1762 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1763 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1764 the Cassis spec more closely
1765 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1766 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1767 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1770 - added Doxyfile to the project
1772 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1773 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1774 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1776 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1777 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1778 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1779 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1780 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1781 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1782 less buffer than data copied
1783 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1784 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1785 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1786 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1788 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1789 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1791 - implemented socket::Close()
1792 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1793 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1794 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1796 - added .cvsignore files to project
1797 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1798 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1799 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1800 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1801 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1803 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1804 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1805 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1807 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1808 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1809 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1810 - regular debug output
1811 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1812 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1813 - raw data dump output
1814 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1815 numbers into english (limited success)
1816 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1817 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1818 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1819 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1820 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1821 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1822 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1823 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1824 for socket 0 operations.
1825 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1829 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1830 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1831 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1832 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1834 - syncberry tree started
