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

122 number in ProbeResult
123 - also added ProbeResult constructor
124 - merged changes from visibility branch:
125 - GCC visibility support, limiting what symbols are
126 visible in the shared library, libbarry... this makes
127 a drastic reduction in the symbol table, and should
128 avoid future name clashes with other libraries such

235 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
236 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
238 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
239 to avoid the CVS directories
240 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
241 diff.gz and dsc files
242 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
243 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
246 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
247 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
248 real opensync libraries
250 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
251 building RPM's from CVS
252 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
253 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
254 on ./configure command line
256 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
257 so that the database name is stored as the first line
259 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
261 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
262 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
264 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
265 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
267 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
268 Paul Dugas for the tip
270 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
271 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
272 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
273 - updated AUTHORS file
275 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
276 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
277 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
278 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
279 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
280 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
281 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
282 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
284 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
285 - updated copyright statments for 2008
287 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
289 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
290 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
295 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
299 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
302 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
303 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
305 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
306 - added pause to maintainer release script
312 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
316 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
318 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
319 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
321 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
322 search by busname / devname
323 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
324 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
325 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
326 bus/device names, and updated the man page
327 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
328 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
329 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
330 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
331 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
332 spec file for opensuse
334 - added better error checking to breset
335 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
336 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
337 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
338 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
339 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
340 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
341 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
343 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
344 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
345 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
346 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
347 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
348 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
349 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
350 make applications look more capable, not less.
351 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
352 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
353 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
356 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
357 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
360 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
361 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
362 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
363 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
364 at the same time as usb_storage.
365 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
366 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
367 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
368 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
369 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
370 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
371 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
372 fail naturally on these devices.
373 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
375 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
376 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
378 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
379 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
381 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
383 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
384 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
385 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
386 that release package builds can be done faster
388 - opensync plugin fixes:
389 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
390 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
391 and keep track of the hierarchy when
392 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
393 - added support for searching for attributes only
394 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
395 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
397 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
398 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
399 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
400 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
401 ToBarry conversion results
402 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
404 - fixed typo in previous fix
406 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
407 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
408 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
413 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
417 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
418 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
420 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
421 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
422 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
423 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
425 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
426 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
428 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
429 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
430 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
431 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
432 without recompiling the kernel.
433 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
435 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
436 information in README files to html format, so that it
437 is commonly available on the web
438 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
439 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
441 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
442 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
445 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
446 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
447 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
448 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
449 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
450 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
451 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
452 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
453 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
454 explanatory document for various system requirements
455 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
457 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
458 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
459 for opensuse rpm builds
461 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
462 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
463 - fixed build target to i386
464 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
467 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
468 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
469 will be updated more frequently
471 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
472 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
473 configure scripts to support external build directories
474 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
475 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
476 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
477 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
478 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
481 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
482 parse the comma separated string into an array,
484 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
485 and will affect backward compatibility with
486 old serialization datafiles
487 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
488 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
490 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
491 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
493 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
494 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
495 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
496 - fixed in opensync plugin:
497 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
498 so added lower case conversion routine
499 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
500 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
501 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
502 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
504 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
505 - added status message to endpoint override
507 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
508 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
509 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
510 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
511 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
512 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
514 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
515 The description is now part of the probe results
516 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
517 a new attribute definition.
518 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
519 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
520 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
521 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
522 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
523 in order to better support SWIG and Python
525 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
526 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
527 settings automatically where possible
528 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
529 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
531 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
532 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
533 error.cc is now an empty shell
534 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
535 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
536 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
537 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
538 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
540 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
545 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
549 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
550 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
551 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
553 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
554 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
556 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
557 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
558 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
559 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
560 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
562 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
563 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
564 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
565 endian bug in the process)
566 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
567 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
568 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
569 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
570 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
571 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
572 - opensync-plugin/README update
573 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
574 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
575 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
577 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
579 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
582 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
583 for the broken-down name instead of N
584 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
585 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
586 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
587 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
588 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
589 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
590 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
591 registered two. Moving to single change commit
592 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
593 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
594 ease memory pressure in the library.
595 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
597 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
598 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
599 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
601 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
603 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
604 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
605 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
606 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
607 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
608 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
609 record into the device.... First/Last Name
610 fields are position sensitive, and the code
611 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
612 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
613 were not updated to handle the new field
614 table added for the postal address changes
617 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
618 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
619 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
620 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
621 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
622 UID strings, instead of just numbers
623 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
624 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
625 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
626 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
627 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
629 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
630 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
631 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
632 sync the wrong device and lose data.
633 Actions to take on new PIN:
634 - force slow_sync, or
636 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
637 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
638 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
639 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
641 - changed PIN error message number to hex
643 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
644 "Backup in progress..."
645 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
646 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
647 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
648 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
649 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
650 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
651 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
652 a new class called PostalAddress
653 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
654 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
655 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
656 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
658 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
660 - added vCard converter class
661 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
662 of empty attribute values and parameters,
663 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
664 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
665 an extra nth argument, in order to search
666 for multiple attributes with the same name...
667 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
668 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
669 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
672 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
673 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
674 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
675 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
679 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
680 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
681 new Barry ID would look like a new change
682 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
683 - added support for slow sync
684 - added clear() to idmap class
685 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
686 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
687 - added Notification time support
688 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
689 does not exist in a vformat data block
690 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
691 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
692 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
693 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
694 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
695 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
696 special cases in the future
698 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
700 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
701 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
702 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
704 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
705 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
706 library API that is not yet finished... will be
707 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
708 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
710 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
711 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
712 the goal is to be able to do:
713 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
715 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
716 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
717 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
718 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
720 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
721 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
723 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
725 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
726 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
728 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
729 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
730 in general use will not break on build
731 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
732 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
733 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
735 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
737 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
738 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
739 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
740 SetIds() is already there
741 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
742 and moved into record.h
743 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
745 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
746 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
747 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
748 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
750 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
752 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
753 - changes to PIN message patch:
754 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
755 - fixed tab alignment throughout
756 - removed typedef from Address struct
757 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
758 going to be a standalone type
759 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
760 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
761 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
762 backing on a field for other use
763 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
764 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
765 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
766 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
767 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
768 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
769 PIN Message so that we store both of these
772 - added item to gui/TODO
773 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
775 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
776 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
777 modified to split into the new separate files system
778 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
779 - reformatted the code to match coding style
781 - added copyright notice
782 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
783 - placed in Barry namespace
784 - added #ifdef header protectors
785 - added new files to Makefile.am
786 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
787 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
788 Brian Edginton's patch
789 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
790 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
793 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
794 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
798 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
799 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
800 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
801 linker errors with the new file layout
803 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
804 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
805 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
807 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
808 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
809 and added a command line option to turn
810 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
811 - command line option --help now also works
812 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
813 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
814 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
815 localizing the constants in one place
817 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
818 fields in Contact and Calendar records
819 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
820 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
821 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
822 Outlook from the comments.
823 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
824 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
825 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
826 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
827 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
832 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
833 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
836 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
837 based on the example plugin in the opensync
838 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
842 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
843 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
844 and then success afterward
845 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
846 - added item to gui's todo list
847 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
851 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
855 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
856 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
858 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
859 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
860 - updated maintainer/README
861 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
863 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
864 - bumped release number in barry.spec
867 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
868 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
869 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
870 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
872 - added development note to README
874 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
877 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
878 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
881 - removed some unneeded trace logs
882 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
884 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
885 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
887 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
888 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
890 - opensync module work:
891 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
892 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
893 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
894 a hard coded calendar record state table
895 - added lots of logging throughout
896 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
897 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
898 causing another sync on the next run
899 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
900 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
901 written to the Blackberry
902 - more opensync module work:
903 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
904 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
905 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
906 the environment classes
907 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
908 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
910 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
911 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
912 a sample configuration
913 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
914 on success (opensync module)
915 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
916 - allowed comments in the config file
917 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
918 routines are not available from the plugin side
921 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
922 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
923 only use idProduct, and updated man page
924 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
925 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
926 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
927 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
928 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
929 and the old search didn't always work
930 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
931 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
932 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
933 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
934 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
935 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
936 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
937 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
938 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
940 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
941 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
942 the vevent20 data (experimental)
944 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
945 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
947 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
949 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
950 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
952 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
954 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
956 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
957 FullName, even if there was no last name)
958 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
959 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
960 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
961 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
962 this special case, without relying on string length.
963 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
964 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
965 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
967 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
969 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
970 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
971 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
972 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
973 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
974 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
975 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
976 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
977 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
979 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
980 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
982 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
983 udev rules for the Pearl
984 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
986 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
987 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
988 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
989 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
990 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
991 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
992 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
993 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
994 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
995 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
996 - added license file to each package
997 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1000 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1001 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1003 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1004 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1005 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1007 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1008 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1009 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1010 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1011 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1012 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1013 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1014 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1015 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1017 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1018 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1024 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1027 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1029 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1030 device discovery code
1031 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1032 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1033 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1034 than are really available... in this case, let's
1035 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1036 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1037 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1038 - ReleaseChecklist update
1039 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1040 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1043 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1044 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1046 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1047 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1048 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1049 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1050 no databases selected in configuration
1051 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1052 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1053 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1054 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1055 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1057 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1058 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1059 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1060 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1061 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1062 -v now controls this as well
1063 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1064 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1065 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1066 the beginning of USB conversations
1067 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1068 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1069 its sequence number behaviour
1070 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1071 socket 0 level command
1072 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1073 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1074 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1075 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1076 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1077 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1078 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1079 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1080 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1081 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1082 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1083 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1084 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1086 - updated controller.cc:
1087 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1088 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1089 selecting modes, as it should use the
1090 socket 0 sequence number
1091 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1092 - updated some .cvsignore files
1094 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1095 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1100 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1101 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1102 new PasswordChallenge struct
1103 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1104 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1105 password hashing logic.
1106 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1108 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1109 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1110 - major LDIF overhaul:
1111 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1113 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1114 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1115 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1117 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1119 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1120 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1122 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1123 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1124 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1125 - large update to btool manpage
1126 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1128 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1129 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1130 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1131 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1132 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1133 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1134 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1135 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1136 instead of hardcoding it.
1138 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1139 - minor tweaks to README
1140 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1141 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1142 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1143 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1144 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1145 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1146 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1148 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1149 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1150 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1151 - added iomanip to debug.h
1152 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1153 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1156 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1157 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1158 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1159 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1162 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1163 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1165 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1167 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1168 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1169 one base class: Barry::Error
1170 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1171 - added BadPassword exception
1177 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1178 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1179 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1180 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1181 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1182 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1183 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1185 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1186 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1187 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1188 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1189 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1190 due to pending reads
1192 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1193 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1195 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1196 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1197 - iostream output size fixes
1198 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1199 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1200 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1201 this is still experimental
1202 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1203 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1205 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1206 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1207 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1208 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1210 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1211 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1212 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1213 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1214 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1215 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1216 and record objects that use it.
1217 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1218 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1220 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1221 This returns the default rectype that should work
1222 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1223 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1224 records, this info would be good to know.
1225 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1226 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1227 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1228 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1229 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1230 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1231 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1232 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1233 - backup GUI updates:
1234 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1235 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1236 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1237 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1238 i.e. Backup or Restore
1239 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1240 it appears to be read-only on the device
1241 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1242 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1243 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1244 supported now by the library
1246 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1247 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1249 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1250 using the library should not care about endianness
1251 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1252 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1254 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1256 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1257 Version call instead
1258 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1260 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1261 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1262 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1264 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1265 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1266 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1268 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1269 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1270 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1271 through btool, for development
1272 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1273 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1274 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1275 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1276 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1277 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1278 exceptions need to be handled with
1279 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1280 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1281 - added pending gui/TODO items
1283 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1284 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1285 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1286 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1287 when we try to write to it)
1288 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1290 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1292 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1293 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1294 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1295 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1296 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1298 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1299 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1300 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1301 backups only at this point
1303 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1304 - added version API, returning version number and string
1305 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1306 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1307 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1308 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1310 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1311 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1313 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1314 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1315 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1316 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1318 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1320 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1322 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1323 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1325 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1327 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1328 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1330 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1331 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1332 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1333 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1334 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1335 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1337 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1338 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1339 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1341 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1342 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1343 a future Debian install
1344 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1345 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1346 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1347 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1349 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1350 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1351 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1367 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1368 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1369 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1370 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1371 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1373 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1374 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1375 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1376 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1377 properly when installed standalone
1378 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1379 installed barry library
1380 - added commentary on version number system
1381 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1382 system supercedes it

1404 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1406 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1407 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1409 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1410 uploading to device to fail
1412 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1414 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1415 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1416 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1417 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1418 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1419 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1421 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1422 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1423 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1424 exceptions leak into the C library code
1426 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1427 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1429 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1430 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1432 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1435 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1436 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1437 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1438 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1439 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1440 header of its own, in the case of email
1441 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1442 Record does not know the details of the packet
1443 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1444 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1445 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1446 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1447 the record format details, but does know the
1448 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1450 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1451 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1452 record formats being the same even with different
1453 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1454 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1455 See the header size of the email record after
1457 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1458 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1459 The Controller object does not know the format
1460 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1461 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1462 to talk to the device.
1463 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1465 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1467 - added sample hotplug scripts
1468 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1469 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1470 handle non-little-endian machines
1471 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1472 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1473 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1474 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1475 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1476 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1477 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1478 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1480 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1482 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1483 flags of individual blackberry device records

1490 - removed slow sync functions for now
1492 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1493 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1494 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1495 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1496 the base classes for all exceptions
1497 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1498 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1500 - added to Contact record class:
1502 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1503 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1504 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1510 - added parsing of service book fields:
1512 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1514 - old and new description
1516 - bes domain / domain
1517 - date change in legal.txt
1518 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1519 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1520 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1521 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1522 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1524 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1525 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1526 - added AUTHORS file
1527 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1528 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1529 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1554 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1555 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1556 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1576 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1577 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1578 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1579 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1580 throw exception in controller.cc
1581 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1582 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1583 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1584 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1585 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1586 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1587 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1603 - added boost::serialization to build
1604 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1605 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1606 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1607 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1608 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1610 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1619 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1620 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1623 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1624 optimize away protocol struct casts

1630 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1631 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1632 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1633 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1635 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1658 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1659 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1660 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1661 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1662 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1663 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1664 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1665 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1666 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1667 seem to need more time...)
1668 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1669 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1670 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1671 with Python, if used(?)
1672 - added Message class for Email records
1673 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1674 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1690 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1691 a public API function
1692 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1693 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1695 - added mode checks to Controller
1696 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1697 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1698 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded

1702 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1703 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1704 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1705 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1706 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1707 from the Command Table
1708 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1709 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1710 the Cassis spec more closely
1711 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1712 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1713 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1716 - added Doxyfile to the project
1718 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1719 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1720 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1722 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1723 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1724 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1725 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1726 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1727 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1728 less buffer than data copied
1729 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1730 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1731 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1732 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1734 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1735 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1737 - implemented socket::Close()
1738 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1739 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1740 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1742 - added .cvsignore files to project
1743 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1744 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1745 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1746 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1747 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1749 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1750 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1751 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1753 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1754 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1755 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1756 - regular debug output
1757 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1758 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1759 - raw data dump output
1760 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1761 numbers into english (limited success)
1762 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1763 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1764 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1765 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1766 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1767 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1768 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1769 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1770 for socket 0 operations.
1771 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1775 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1776 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1777 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1778 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1780 - syncberry tree started
