21 - updated rpm spec file history
22 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
23 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
24 and updated the build process to support them.
25 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
26 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
27 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
28 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc
29 - deleted old src/Makefile.orig

38 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
39 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
41 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
44 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,

57 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
58 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
60 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
61 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
62 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
63 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
65 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
66 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
67 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
68 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
69 order (no code change, only move)
70 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
71 possible to determine whether a program is using
72 threaded or non-threaded sockets
73 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
74 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
75 and updated the man page
76 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob

80 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
81 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
82 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
83 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
84 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
85 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
86 IpModem endpoints are available
87 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
88 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
89 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
90 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
91 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
93 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
94 to file instead of stderr
95 - added man page for pppob
97 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
98 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
100 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
103 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
104 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
105 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
106 I'm looking at you...)
107 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
108 if no command line arguments are specified
109 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
110 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
112 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
113 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
114 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
115 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
116 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
117 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
118 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
119 like a null terminated string... also added more
120 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
121 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
122 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
123 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
124 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
125 on database records, for testing
126 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
127 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
128 which completes builder support
129 Checksums from the following commands now match:
130 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
131 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
132 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
133 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
134 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
136 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
137 work again... Thanks!
138 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
141 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
142 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
143 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
146 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
149 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
150 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

276 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
278 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
279 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
281 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
282 to avoid the CVS directories
283 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
284 diff.gz and dsc files
285 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
286 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
289 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
290 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
291 real opensync libraries
293 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
294 building RPM's from CVS
295 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
296 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
297 on ./configure command line
299 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
300 so that the database name is stored as the first line
302 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
304 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
305 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
307 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
308 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
310 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
311 Paul Dugas for the tip
313 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
314 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
315 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
316 - updated AUTHORS file
318 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
319 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
320 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
321 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
322 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
323 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
324 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
325 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
327 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
328 - updated copyright statments for 2008
330 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
332 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
333 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
338 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
342 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
345 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
346 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
348 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
349 - added pause to maintainer release script
355 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
359 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
361 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
362 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
364 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
365 search by busname / devname
366 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
367 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
368 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
369 bus/device names, and updated the man page
370 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
371 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
372 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
373 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
374 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
375 spec file for opensuse
377 - added better error checking to breset
378 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
379 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
380 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
381 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
382 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
383 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
384 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
386 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
387 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
388 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
389 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
390 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
391 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
392 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
393 make applications look more capable, not less.
394 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
395 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
396 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
399 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
400 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
403 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
404 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
405 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
406 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
407 at the same time as usb_storage.
408 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
409 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
410 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
411 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
412 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
413 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
414 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
415 fail naturally on these devices.
416 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
418 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
419 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
421 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
422 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
424 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
426 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
427 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
428 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
429 that release package builds can be done faster
431 - opensync plugin fixes:
432 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
433 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
434 and keep track of the hierarchy when
435 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
436 - added support for searching for attributes only
437 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
438 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
440 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
441 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
442 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
443 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
444 ToBarry conversion results
445 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
447 - fixed typo in previous fix
449 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
450 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
451 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
456 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
460 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
461 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
463 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
464 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
465 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
466 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
468 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
469 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
471 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
472 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
473 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
474 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
475 without recompiling the kernel.
476 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
478 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
479 information in README files to html format, so that it
480 is commonly available on the web
481 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
482 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
484 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
485 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
488 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
489 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
490 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
491 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
492 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
493 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
494 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
495 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
496 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
497 explanatory document for various system requirements
498 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
500 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
501 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
502 for opensuse rpm builds
504 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
505 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
506 - fixed build target to i386
507 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
510 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
511 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
512 will be updated more frequently
514 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
515 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
516 configure scripts to support external build directories
517 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
518 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
519 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
520 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
521 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
524 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
525 parse the comma separated string into an array,
527 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
528 and will affect backward compatibility with
529 old serialization datafiles
530 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
531 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
533 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
534 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
536 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
537 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
538 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
539 - fixed in opensync plugin:
540 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
541 so added lower case conversion routine
542 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
543 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
544 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
545 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
547 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
548 - added status message to endpoint override
550 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
551 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
552 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
553 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
554 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
555 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
557 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
558 The description is now part of the probe results
559 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
560 a new attribute definition.
561 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
562 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
563 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
564 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
565 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
566 in order to better support SWIG and Python
568 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
569 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
570 settings automatically where possible
571 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
572 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
574 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
575 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
576 error.cc is now an empty shell
577 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
578 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
579 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
580 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
581 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
583 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
588 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
592 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
593 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
594 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
596 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
597 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
599 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
600 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
601 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
602 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
603 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
605 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
606 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
607 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
608 endian bug in the process)
609 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
610 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
611 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
612 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
613 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
614 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
615 - opensync-plugin/README update
616 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
617 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
618 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
620 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
622 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
625 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
626 for the broken-down name instead of N
627 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
628 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
629 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
630 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
631 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
632 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
633 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
634 registered two. Moving to single change commit
635 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
636 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
637 ease memory pressure in the library.
638 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
640 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
641 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
642 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
644 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
646 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
647 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
648 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
649 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
650 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
651 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
652 record into the device.... First/Last Name
653 fields are position sensitive, and the code
654 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
655 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
656 were not updated to handle the new field
657 table added for the postal address changes
660 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
661 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
662 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
663 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
664 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
665 UID strings, instead of just numbers
666 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
667 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
668 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
669 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
670 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
672 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
673 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
674 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
675 sync the wrong device and lose data.
676 Actions to take on new PIN:
677 - force slow_sync, or
679 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
680 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
681 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
682 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
684 - changed PIN error message number to hex
686 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
687 "Backup in progress..."
688 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
689 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
690 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
691 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
692 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
693 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
694 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
695 a new class called PostalAddress
696 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
697 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
698 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
699 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
701 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
703 - added vCard converter class
704 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
705 of empty attribute values and parameters,
706 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
707 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
708 an extra nth argument, in order to search
709 for multiple attributes with the same name...
710 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
711 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
712 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
715 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
716 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
717 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
718 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
722 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
723 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
724 new Barry ID would look like a new change
725 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
726 - added support for slow sync
727 - added clear() to idmap class
728 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
729 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
730 - added Notification time support
731 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
732 does not exist in a vformat data block
733 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
734 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
735 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
736 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
737 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
738 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
739 special cases in the future
741 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
743 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
744 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
745 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
747 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
748 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
749 library API that is not yet finished... will be
750 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
751 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
753 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
754 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
755 the goal is to be able to do:
756 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
758 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
759 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
760 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
761 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
763 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
764 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
766 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
768 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
769 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
771 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
772 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
773 in general use will not break on build
774 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
775 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
776 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
778 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
780 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
781 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
782 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
783 SetIds() is already there
784 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
785 and moved into record.h
786 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
788 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
789 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
790 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
791 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
793 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
795 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
796 - changes to PIN message patch:
797 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
798 - fixed tab alignment throughout
799 - removed typedef from Address struct
800 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
801 going to be a standalone type
802 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
803 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
804 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
805 backing on a field for other use
806 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
807 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
808 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
809 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
810 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
811 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
812 PIN Message so that we store both of these
815 - added item to gui/TODO
816 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
818 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
819 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
820 modified to split into the new separate files system
821 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
822 - reformatted the code to match coding style
824 - added copyright notice
825 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
826 - placed in Barry namespace
827 - added #ifdef header protectors
828 - added new files to Makefile.am
829 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
830 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
831 Brian Edginton's patch
832 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
833 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
836 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
837 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
841 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
842 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
843 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
844 linker errors with the new file layout
846 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
847 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
848 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
850 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
851 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
852 and added a command line option to turn
853 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
854 - command line option --help now also works
855 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
856 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
857 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
858 localizing the constants in one place
860 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
861 fields in Contact and Calendar records
862 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
863 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
864 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
865 Outlook from the comments.
866 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
867 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
868 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
869 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
870 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
875 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
876 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
879 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
880 based on the example plugin in the opensync
881 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
885 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
886 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
887 and then success afterward
888 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
889 - added item to gui's todo list
890 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
894 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
898 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
899 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
901 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
902 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
903 - updated maintainer/README
904 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
906 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
907 - bumped release number in barry.spec
910 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
911 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
912 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
913 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
915 - added development note to README
917 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
920 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
921 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
924 - removed some unneeded trace logs
925 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
927 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
928 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
930 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
931 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
933 - opensync module work:
934 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
935 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
936 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
937 a hard coded calendar record state table
938 - added lots of logging throughout
939 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
940 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
941 causing another sync on the next run
942 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
943 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
944 written to the Blackberry
945 - more opensync module work:
946 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
947 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
948 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
949 the environment classes
950 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
951 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
953 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
954 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
955 a sample configuration
956 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
957 on success (opensync module)
958 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
959 - allowed comments in the config file
960 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
961 routines are not available from the plugin side
964 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
965 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
966 only use idProduct, and updated man page
967 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
968 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
969 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
970 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
971 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
972 and the old search didn't always work
973 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
974 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
975 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
976 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
977 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
978 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
979 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
980 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
981 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
983 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
984 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
985 the vevent20 data (experimental)
987 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
988 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
990 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
992 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
993 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
995 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
997 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
999 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1000 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1001 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1002 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1003 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1004 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1005 this special case, without relying on string length.
1006 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1007 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1008 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1010 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1012 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1013 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1014 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1015 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1016 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1017 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1018 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1019 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1020 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1022 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1023 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1025 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1026 udev rules for the Pearl
1027 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1029 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1030 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1031 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1032 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1033 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1034 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1035 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1036 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1037 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1038 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1039 - added license file to each package
1040 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1043 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1044 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1046 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1047 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1048 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1050 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1051 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1052 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1053 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1054 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1055 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1056 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1057 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1058 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1060 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1061 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1067 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1070 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1072 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1073 device discovery code
1074 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1075 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1076 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1077 than are really available... in this case, let's
1078 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1079 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1080 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1081 - ReleaseChecklist update
1082 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes

1087 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1089 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1090 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1091 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1092 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1093 no databases selected in configuration
1094 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1095 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown

1097 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1098 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1100 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1101 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1102 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1103 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1104 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1105 -v now controls this as well
1106 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1107 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1108 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1109 the beginning of USB conversations
1110 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1111 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1112 its sequence number behaviour
1113 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1114 socket 0 level command
1115 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1116 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1117 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1118 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1119 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1120 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1121 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1122 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1123 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1124 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1125 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1126 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1127 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1129 - updated controller.cc:
1130 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1131 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1132 selecting modes, as it should use the
1133 socket 0 sequence number
1134 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1135 - updated some .cvsignore files
1137 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1138 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1143 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1144 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1145 new PasswordChallenge struct
1146 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1147 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1148 password hashing logic.
1149 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1151 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1152 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1153 - major LDIF overhaul:
1154 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1156 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1157 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1158 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1160 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1162 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1163 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1165 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1166 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1167 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1168 - large update to btool manpage
1169 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1171 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1172 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1173 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1174 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1175 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1176 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1177 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1178 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1179 instead of hardcoding it.
1181 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1182 - minor tweaks to README
1183 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1184 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1185 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1186 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1187 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1188 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1189 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1191 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1192 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1193 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1194 - added iomanip to debug.h
1195 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1196 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1199 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1200 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1201 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1202 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1205 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1206 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1208 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1210 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1211 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1212 one base class: Barry::Error
1213 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1214 - added BadPassword exception
1220 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1221 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1222 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1223 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1224 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1225 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1226 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1228 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1229 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1230 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1231 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1232 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1233 due to pending reads
1235 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1236 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1238 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1239 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1240 - iostream output size fixes
1241 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1242 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1243 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1244 this is still experimental
1245 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1246 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1248 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1249 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1250 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1251 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1253 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1254 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1255 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1256 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1257 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1258 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1259 and record objects that use it.
1260 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1261 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1263 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1264 This returns the default rectype that should work
1265 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1266 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1267 records, this info would be good to know.
1268 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1269 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1270 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1271 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1272 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1273 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1274 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1275 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1276 - backup GUI updates:
1277 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1278 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1279 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1280 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1281 i.e. Backup or Restore
1282 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1283 it appears to be read-only on the device
1284 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1285 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1286 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1287 supported now by the library
1289 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1290 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1292 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1293 using the library should not care about endianness
1294 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1295 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1297 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1299 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1300 Version call instead
1301 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1303 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1304 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1305 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1307 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1308 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1309 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1311 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1312 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1313 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1314 through btool, for development
1315 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1316 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1317 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1318 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1319 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1320 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1321 exceptions need to be handled with
1322 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1323 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1324 - added pending gui/TODO items
1326 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1327 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1328 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1329 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1330 when we try to write to it)
1331 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1333 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1335 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1336 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1337 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1338 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1339 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1341 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1342 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1343 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1344 backups only at this point
1346 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1347 - added version API, returning version number and string
1348 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1349 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1350 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1351 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1353 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1354 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1356 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1357 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1358 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1359 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1361 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1363 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1365 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1366 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1368 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1370 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1371 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1373 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1374 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1375 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1376 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1377 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1378 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1380 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1381 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1382 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1384 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1385 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1386 a future Debian install
1387 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1388 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1389 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1390 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1392 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1393 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1394 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1395 - fixed more endian issues
1396 - minor update to TODO
1398 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/

1406 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1407 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1408 on old build system if wanted
1409 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1410 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1411 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1412 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1413 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1414 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1416 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1417 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1418 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1419 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1420 properly when installed standalone
1421 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1422 installed barry library
1423 - added commentary on version number system
1424 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1425 system supercedes it
1426 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1427 - added library version number to autoconf build
1428 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1429 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1447 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1449 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1450 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1452 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1453 uploading to device to fail
1455 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1457 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1458 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1459 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1460 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1461 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1462 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1464 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1465 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1466 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1467 exceptions leak into the C library code
1469 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1470 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1472 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1473 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1475 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1478 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1479 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1480 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1481 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1482 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1483 header of its own, in the case of email
1484 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1485 Record does not know the details of the packet
1486 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1487 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1488 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1489 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1490 the record format details, but does know the
1491 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1493 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1494 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1495 record formats being the same even with different
1496 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1497 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1498 See the header size of the email record after
1500 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1501 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1502 The Controller object does not know the format
1503 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1504 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1505 to talk to the device.
1506 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1508 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1510 - added sample hotplug scripts
1511 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1512 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1513 handle non-little-endian machines
1514 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1515 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1516 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1517 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1518 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1519 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1520 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1521 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1523 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1525 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1526 flags of individual blackberry device records
1527 - added endian macros throughout the code
1529 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1530 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1531 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1533 - removed slow sync functions for now
1535 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1536 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1537 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1538 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1539 the base classes for all exceptions
1540 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1541 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1543 - added to Contact record class:
1545 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1546 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1547 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1550 and upload it to a blackberry
1551 - updated src/.cvsignore
1553 - added parsing of service book fields:
1555 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1557 - old and new description
1559 - bes domain / domain
1560 - date change in legal.txt
1561 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1562 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1563 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1564 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1565 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1567 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1568 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1569 - added AUTHORS file
1570 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1571 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1572 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1574 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1575 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1577 - make clean cleans up tests properly now
1579 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile

1581 to the Controller class
1582 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1583 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1584 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1585 support of the template Controller functions
1586 - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(),
1587 returning errors properly

1589 of Controller template member usage
1591 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1593 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1594 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1596 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1597 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1598 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1599 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1613 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1614 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1615 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1616 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1617 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1619 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1620 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1621 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1622 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1623 throw exception in controller.cc
1624 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1625 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1626 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1627 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1628 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1629 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1630 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1631 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1646 - added boost::serialization to build
1647 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1648 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1649 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1650 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1651 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1653 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1654 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1655 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld

1662 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1663 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1666 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1667 optimize away protocol struct casts

1673 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1674 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1675 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1676 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1678 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1701 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1702 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1703 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1704 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1705 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1706 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1707 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1708 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1709 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1710 seem to need more time...)
1711 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1712 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1713 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1714 with Python, if used(?)
1715 - added Message class for Email records
1716 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1717 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1718 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1719 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1720 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1721 - cleaned up comments

1730 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1731 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1732 better suited to its general API purpose
1733 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1734 a public API function
1735 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1736 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1738 - added mode checks to Controller
1739 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1740 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1741 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1744 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1745 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1746 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1747 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1748 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1749 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1750 from the Command Table
1751 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1752 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1753 the Cassis spec more closely
1754 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1755 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1756 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1759 - added Doxyfile to the project
1761 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1762 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1763 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1765 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1766 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1767 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1768 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1769 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1770 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1771 less buffer than data copied
1772 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1773 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1774 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1775 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1777 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1778 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1780 - implemented socket::Close()
1781 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1782 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1783 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1785 - added .cvsignore files to project
1786 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1787 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1788 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1789 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1790 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1792 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1793 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1794 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1796 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1797 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1798 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1799 - regular debug output
1800 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1801 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1802 - raw data dump output
1803 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1804 numbers into english (limited success)
1805 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1806 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1807 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1808 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1809 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1810 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1811 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1812 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1813 for socket 0 operations.
1814 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1818 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1819 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1820 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1821 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1823 - syncberry tree started
