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

108 and provides an API to retrieve it
109 - added sanity checks to m_serial.cc
110 - fixed probe behaviour so that a USB probe on an endpoint
111 that doesn't respond won't halt everything
112 - refactored some of the probe code, and added checks for
114 - added Probe::DumpAll()
115 - added Open() call to pppob.cc (not yet complete)

146 RegisterInterest callback
147 - added RegisterInterest functionality to Socket class

196 name clashes with other libraries such as opensync
197 See: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
199 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
202 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
203 to avoid the CVS directories
204 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
205 diff.gz and dsc files
206 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
207 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
210 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
211 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
212 real opensync libraries
214 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
215 building RPM's from CVS
216 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
217 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
218 on ./configure command line
220 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
221 so that the database name is stored as the first line
223 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
225 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
226 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
228 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
229 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
231 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
232 Paul Dugas for the tip
234 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
235 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
236 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
237 - updated AUTHORS file
239 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
240 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
241 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
242 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
243 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
244 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
245 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
246 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
248 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
249 - updated copyright statments for 2008
251 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
253 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
254 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
259 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
263 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
266 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
267 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
269 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
270 - added pause to maintainer release script
276 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
280 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
282 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
283 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
285 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
286 search by busname / devname
287 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
288 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
289 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
290 bus/device names, and updated the man page
291 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
292 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
293 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
294 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
295 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
296 spec file for opensuse
298 - added better error checking to breset
299 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
300 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
301 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
302 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
303 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
304 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
305 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
307 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
308 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
309 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
310 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
311 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
312 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
313 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
314 make applications look more capable, not less.
315 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
316 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
317 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
320 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
321 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
324 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
325 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
326 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
327 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
328 at the same time as usb_storage.
329 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
330 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
331 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
332 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
333 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
334 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
335 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
336 fail naturally on these devices.
337 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
339 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
340 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
342 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
343 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
345 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
347 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
348 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
349 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
350 that release package builds can be done faster
352 - opensync plugin fixes:
353 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
354 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
355 and keep track of the hierarchy when
356 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
357 - added support for searching for attributes only
358 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
359 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
361 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
362 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
363 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
364 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
365 ToBarry conversion results
366 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
368 - fixed typo in previous fix
370 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
371 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
372 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
377 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
381 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
382 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
384 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
385 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
386 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
387 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
389 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
390 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
392 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
393 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
394 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
395 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
396 without recompiling the kernel.
397 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
399 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
400 information in README files to html format, so that it
401 is commonly available on the web
402 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
403 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
405 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
406 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
409 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
410 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
411 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
412 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
413 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
414 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
415 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
416 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
417 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
418 explanatory document for various system requirements
419 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
421 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
422 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
423 for opensuse rpm builds
425 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
426 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
427 - fixed build target to i386
428 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
431 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
432 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
433 will be updated more frequently
435 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
436 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
437 configure scripts to support external build directories
438 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
439 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
440 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
441 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
442 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
445 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
446 parse the comma separated string into an array,
448 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
449 and will affect backward compatibility with
450 old serialization datafiles
451 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
452 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
454 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
455 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
457 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
458 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
459 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
460 - fixed in opensync plugin:
461 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
462 so added lower case conversion routine
463 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
464 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
465 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
466 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
468 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
469 - added status message to endpoint override
471 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
472 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
473 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
474 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
475 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
476 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
478 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
479 The description is now part of the probe results
480 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
481 a new attribute definition.
482 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
483 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
484 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
485 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
486 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
487 in order to better support SWIG and Python
489 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
490 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
491 settings automatically where possible
492 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
493 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
495 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
496 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
497 error.cc is now an empty shell
498 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
499 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
500 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
501 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
502 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
504 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
509 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
513 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
514 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
515 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
517 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
518 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
520 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
521 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
522 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
523 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
524 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
526 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
527 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
528 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
529 endian bug in the process)
530 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
531 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
532 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
533 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
534 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
535 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
536 - opensync-plugin/README update
537 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
538 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
539 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
541 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
543 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
546 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
547 for the broken-down name instead of N
548 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
549 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
550 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
551 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
552 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
553 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
554 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
555 registered two. Moving to single change commit
556 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
557 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
558 ease memory pressure in the library.
559 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
561 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
562 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
563 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
565 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
567 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
568 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
569 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
570 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
571 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
572 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
573 record into the device.... First/Last Name
574 fields are position sensitive, and the code
575 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
576 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
577 were not updated to handle the new field
578 table added for the postal address changes
581 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
582 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
583 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
584 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
585 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
586 UID strings, instead of just numbers
587 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
588 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
589 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
590 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
591 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
593 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
594 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
595 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
596 sync the wrong device and lose data.
597 Actions to take on new PIN:
598 - force slow_sync, or
600 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
601 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
602 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
603 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
605 - changed PIN error message number to hex
607 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
608 "Backup in progress..."
609 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
610 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
611 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
612 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
613 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
614 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
615 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
616 a new class called PostalAddress
617 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
618 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
619 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
620 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
622 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
624 - added vCard converter class
625 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
626 of empty attribute values and parameters,
627 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
628 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
629 an extra nth argument, in order to search
630 for multiple attributes with the same name...
631 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
632 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
633 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
636 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
637 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
638 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
639 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
643 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
644 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
645 new Barry ID would look like a new change
646 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
647 - added support for slow sync
648 - added clear() to idmap class
649 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
650 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
651 - added Notification time support
652 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
653 does not exist in a vformat data block
654 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
655 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
656 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
657 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
658 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
659 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
660 special cases in the future
662 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
664 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
665 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
666 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
668 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
669 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
670 library API that is not yet finished... will be
671 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
672 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
674 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
675 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
676 the goal is to be able to do:
677 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
679 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
680 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
681 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
682 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
684 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
685 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
687 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
689 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
690 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
692 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
693 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
694 in general use will not break on build
695 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
696 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
697 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
699 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
701 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
702 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
703 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
704 SetIds() is already there
705 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
706 and moved into record.h
707 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
709 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
710 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
711 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
712 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
714 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
716 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
717 - changes to PIN message patch:
718 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
719 - fixed tab alignment throughout
720 - removed typedef from Address struct
721 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
722 going to be a standalone type
723 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
724 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
725 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
726 backing on a field for other use
727 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
728 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
729 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
730 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
731 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
732 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
733 PIN Message so that we store both of these
736 - added item to gui/TODO
737 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
739 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
740 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly

745 - added copyright notice
746 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
747 - placed in Barry namespace
748 - added #ifdef header protectors
749 - added new files to Makefile.am
750 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
751 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
752 Brian Edginton's patch
753 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
754 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
757 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
758 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
762 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
763 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
764 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
765 linker errors with the new file layout
767 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
768 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
769 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
771 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
772 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
773 and added a command line option to turn
774 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
775 - command line option --help now also works
776 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
777 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
778 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
779 localizing the constants in one place
781 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
782 fields in Contact and Calendar records
783 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
784 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
785 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
786 Outlook from the comments.
787 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
788 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
789 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
790 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
791 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
796 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
797 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
800 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
801 based on the example plugin in the opensync
802 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
806 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
807 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
808 and then success afterward
809 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
810 - added item to gui's todo list
811 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
815 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
819 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
820 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
822 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts

824 - updated maintainer/README
825 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
827 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
828 - bumped release number in barry.spec
831 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
832 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
833 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
834 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
836 - added development note to README
838 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
841 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
842 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
845 - removed some unneeded trace logs
846 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
848 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
849 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
851 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
852 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
854 - opensync module work:
855 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
856 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
857 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
858 a hard coded calendar record state table
859 - added lots of logging throughout
860 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
861 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
862 causing another sync on the next run
863 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
864 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
865 written to the Blackberry
866 - more opensync module work:
867 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
868 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
869 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
870 the environment classes
871 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
872 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
874 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
875 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
876 a sample configuration
877 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
878 on success (opensync module)
879 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
880 - allowed comments in the config file
881 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
882 routines are not available from the plugin side
885 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
886 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
887 only use idProduct, and updated man page
888 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
889 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
890 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
891 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
892 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
893 and the old search didn't always work
894 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
895 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
896 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
897 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
898 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
899 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
900 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
901 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
902 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
904 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
905 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
906 the vevent20 data (experimental)
908 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
909 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
911 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
913 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
914 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
916 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
918 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
920 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
921 FullName, even if there was no last name)
922 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
923 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
924 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
925 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
926 this special case, without relying on string length.
927 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
928 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
929 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
931 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
933 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
934 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
935 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
936 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
937 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
938 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
939 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
940 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
941 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
943 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
944 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
946 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
947 udev rules for the Pearl
948 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
950 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
951 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
952 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
953 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
954 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
955 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
956 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
957 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
958 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
959 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
960 - added license file to each package
961 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
964 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
965 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
967 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
968 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
969 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
971 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
972 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
973 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
974 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
975 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
976 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
977 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
978 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
979 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
981 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
982 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
988 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
991 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
993 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
994 device discovery code
995 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
996 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
997 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
998 than are really available... in this case, let's
999 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1000 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1001 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1002 - ReleaseChecklist update
1003 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1004 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1007 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1010 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1011 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1012 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1013 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1014 no databases selected in configuration
1015 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1016 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1017 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1018 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1019 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1021 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1022 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1023 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1024 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1025 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1026 -v now controls this as well
1027 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1028 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1029 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1030 the beginning of USB conversations
1031 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1032 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1033 its sequence number behaviour
1034 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1035 socket 0 level command
1036 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1037 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1038 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1039 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1040 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1041 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1042 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1043 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1044 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1045 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1046 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1047 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1048 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1050 - updated controller.cc:
1051 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1052 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1053 selecting modes, as it should use the
1054 socket 0 sequence number
1055 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1056 - updated some .cvsignore files
1058 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1059 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1064 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1065 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1066 new PasswordChallenge struct
1067 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1068 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1069 password hashing logic.
1070 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1072 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1073 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1074 - major LDIF overhaul:
1075 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1077 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1078 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1079 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1081 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1083 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1084 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1086 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1087 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1088 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1089 - large update to btool manpage
1090 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1092 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1093 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1094 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1095 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1096 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1097 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1098 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1099 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1100 instead of hardcoding it.
1102 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1103 - minor tweaks to README
1104 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1105 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1106 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1107 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1108 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1109 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1110 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1112 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1113 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1114 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1115 - added iomanip to debug.h
1116 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1117 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1120 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1121 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1122 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1123 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1126 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1127 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1129 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1131 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1132 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1133 one base class: Barry::Error
1134 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1135 - added BadPassword exception
1141 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1142 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1143 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1144 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1145 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1146 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1147 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1149 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1150 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1151 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1152 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1153 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1154 due to pending reads
1156 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1157 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1159 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1160 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1161 - iostream output size fixes
1162 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1163 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1164 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1165 this is still experimental
1166 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1167 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1169 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1170 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1171 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1172 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1174 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1175 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1176 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1177 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1178 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1179 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1180 and record objects that use it.
1181 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1182 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1184 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1185 This returns the default rectype that should work
1186 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1187 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1188 records, this info would be good to know.
1189 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1190 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1191 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1192 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1193 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1194 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1195 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1196 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1197 - backup GUI updates:
1198 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1199 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1200 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1201 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1202 i.e. Backup or Restore
1203 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1204 it appears to be read-only on the device
1205 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1206 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1207 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1208 supported now by the library
1210 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1211 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1213 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1214 using the library should not care about endianness
1215 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1216 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1218 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1220 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1221 Version call instead
1222 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1224 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1225 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1226 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1228 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1229 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1230 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1232 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1233 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1234 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1235 through btool, for development
1236 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1237 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1238 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1239 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1240 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1241 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,

1243 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1244 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1245 - added pending gui/TODO items
1247 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1248 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1249 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1250 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1251 when we try to write to it)

1268 - added version API, returning version number and string
1269 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1270 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,

1274 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1275 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1277 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1278 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1279 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1280 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1282 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1284 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1286 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1287 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1289 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1291 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1292 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1294 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1295 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1296 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1297 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1298 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1299 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1301 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices

1311 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1313 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1314 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1315 Just use your distro's libusb packages.

1334 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1335 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1337 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1338 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1339 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1340 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1341 properly when installed standalone
1342 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1343 installed barry library
1344 - added commentary on version number system

1381 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1382 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1383 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1385 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1386 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1387 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1388 exceptions leak into the C library code
1390 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1391 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1393 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1394 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1396 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1399 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1400 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1401 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1402 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1403 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1404 header of its own, in the case of email
1405 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1406 Record does not know the details of the packet
1407 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1408 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1409 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1410 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1411 the record format details, but does know the
1412 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1414 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1415 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1416 record formats being the same even with different
1417 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1418 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1419 See the header size of the email record after
1421 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1422 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1423 The Controller object does not know the format
1424 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1425 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1426 to talk to the device.
1427 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1429 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1431 - added sample hotplug scripts
1432 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1433 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1434 handle non-little-endian machines
1435 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1436 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1437 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1438 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1439 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1440 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1441 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1442 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1444 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1446 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1447 flags of individual blackberry device records

1454 - removed slow sync functions for now
1456 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1457 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1458 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1459 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1460 the base classes for all exceptions
1461 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1462 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources

1476 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1478 - old and new description
1480 - bes domain / domain
1481 - date change in legal.txt
1482 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1483 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1484 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1485 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1486 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1488 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1489 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1490 - added AUTHORS file
1491 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1492 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1493 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1541 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1542 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1543 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1544 throw exception in controller.cc
1545 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1546 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1547 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1548 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1549 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1550 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1551 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

1568 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1569 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1570 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1571 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1572 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1574 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1594 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1595 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1596 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1597 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1599 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1622 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1623 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1624 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1625 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1626 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1627 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1628 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1629 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1630 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1631 seem to need more time...)
1632 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1633 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1634 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1635 with Python, if used(?)
1636 - added Message class for Email records
1637 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1638 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

1655 a public API function
1656 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1657 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1659 - added mode checks to Controller

1667 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1668 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1669 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1670 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1671 from the Command Table
1672 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1673 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1674 the Cassis spec more closely
1675 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1676 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1677 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1680 - added Doxyfile to the project
1682 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1683 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1684 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1686 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1687 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1688 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1689 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class

1691 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1692 less buffer than data copied
1693 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1694 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1695 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1696 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1698 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1699 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1701 - implemented socket::Close()
1702 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1703 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1704 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1706 - added .cvsignore files to project
1707 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1708 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1709 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1710 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1711 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1713 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1714 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1715 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1717 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1718 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1719 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1720 - regular debug output
1721 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1722 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1723 - raw data dump output
1724 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1725 numbers into english (limited success)
1726 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1727 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1728 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1729 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1730 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1731 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1732 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1733 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1734 for socket 0 operations.
1735 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1739 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1740 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1741 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1742 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1744 - syncberry tree started
