2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - added "known issues" section to main www doc page
5 - fixed virtual function mis-name bug in btool's null parser
6 - added -i option to brecsum, to include record IDs in the sums
7 - applied Ashley Willis's btool 0.12 null parser patch to CVS, which
8 required some manual porting changes...
9 - removed bool reference argument in GetParser()
12 - updated udev rules to recognize devices with the 8004 Product ID
13 - fixed bug in test/buildtest.sh when opensync is not pre-built

16 - added syncing howto web document
17 - updated TODO list, adding Troubleshooting item, and morphing
18 the modem item into the RPC daemon item
19 - moved old doc/TroubleShooting.txt document to web, and updated
21 - added tip to sync web docs, for using DebugMode on hangs
23 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
24 the directory that contains it
25 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
27 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
28 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
29 headers, as it is an internal header only
30 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
31 - added -j option to make to speed builds
32 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
34 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
35 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
36 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
37 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
38 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
39 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
41 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
42 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
44 - added beginnings of a build system test script
45 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
46 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
48 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
49 well as listing some network security concerns

52 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
53 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
54 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:

61 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
62 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
63 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
64 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
67 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
68 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
69 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
70 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
71 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
72 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
73 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
74 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
76 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD

96 and updated the build process to support them.
97 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
98 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
99 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc

106 script to set permissions
107 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
109 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc

128 them automatically in binary packages
129 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
130 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
132 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
133 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
134 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
135 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
136 such as with pppob...
137 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
138 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
139 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
140 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
141 order (no code change, only move)
142 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
143 possible to determine whether a program is using
144 threaded or non-threaded sockets
145 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
146 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
147 and updated the man page
148 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
149 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
152 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
153 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
154 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
155 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
156 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
157 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
158 IpModem endpoints are available
159 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
160 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
161 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
162 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
163 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,

166 to file instead of stderr
167 - added man page for pppob
169 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
170 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
172 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
175 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
176 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
177 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
178 I'm looking at you...)
179 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
180 if no command line arguments are specified
181 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
182 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
184 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
185 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
186 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
187 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
188 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
189 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
190 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
191 like a null terminated string... also added more
192 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
193 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
194 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
195 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
196 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
197 on database records, for testing
198 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
199 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
200 which completes builder support
201 Checksums from the following commands now match:
202 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
203 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
204 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
205 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
206 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
208 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
209 work again... Thanks!
210 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
213 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
214 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
215 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
218 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
221 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
222 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

350 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
351 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
353 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
354 to avoid the CVS directories
355 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
356 diff.gz and dsc files
357 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
358 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
361 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
362 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
363 real opensync libraries
365 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
366 building RPM's from CVS
367 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
368 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
369 on ./configure command line
371 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
372 so that the database name is stored as the first line
374 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
376 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
377 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
379 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
380 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
382 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
383 Paul Dugas for the tip
385 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
386 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
387 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
388 - updated AUTHORS file
390 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
391 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
392 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
393 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
394 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
395 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
396 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
397 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
399 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
400 - updated copyright statments for 2008
402 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
404 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
405 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
410 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
414 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
417 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
418 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
420 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
421 - added pause to maintainer release script
427 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
431 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
433 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
434 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
436 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
437 search by busname / devname
438 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
439 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
440 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
441 bus/device names, and updated the man page
442 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
443 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
444 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
445 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
446 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
447 spec file for opensuse
449 - added better error checking to breset
450 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
451 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
452 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
453 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
454 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
455 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
456 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
458 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
459 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
460 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
461 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
462 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
463 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
464 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
465 make applications look more capable, not less.
466 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
467 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
468 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
471 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
472 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
475 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
476 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
477 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
478 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
479 at the same time as usb_storage.
480 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
481 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
482 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
483 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
484 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
485 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
486 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
487 fail naturally on these devices.
488 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
490 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
491 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
493 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
494 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
496 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
498 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
499 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
500 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
501 that release package builds can be done faster
503 - opensync plugin fixes:
504 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
505 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
506 and keep track of the hierarchy when
507 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
508 - added support for searching for attributes only
509 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
510 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
512 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
513 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
514 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
515 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
516 ToBarry conversion results
517 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
519 - fixed typo in previous fix
521 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
522 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
523 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
528 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
532 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
533 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
535 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
536 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
537 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
538 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
540 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
541 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
543 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
544 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
545 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
546 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
547 without recompiling the kernel.
548 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
550 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
551 information in README files to html format, so that it
552 is commonly available on the web
553 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
554 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
556 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
557 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
560 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
561 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
562 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
563 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
564 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
565 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
566 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
567 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
568 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
569 explanatory document for various system requirements
570 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
572 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
573 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
574 for opensuse rpm builds
576 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
577 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
578 - fixed build target to i386
579 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
582 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
583 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
584 will be updated more frequently
586 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
587 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
588 configure scripts to support external build directories
589 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
590 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
591 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
592 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
593 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
596 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
597 parse the comma separated string into an array,
599 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
600 and will affect backward compatibility with
601 old serialization datafiles
602 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
603 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
605 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
606 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
608 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
609 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
610 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
611 - fixed in opensync plugin:
612 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
613 so added lower case conversion routine
614 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
615 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
616 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
617 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
619 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
620 - added status message to endpoint override
622 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
623 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
624 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
625 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
626 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
627 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
629 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
630 The description is now part of the probe results
631 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
632 a new attribute definition.
633 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
634 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
635 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
636 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
637 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
638 in order to better support SWIG and Python
640 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
641 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
642 settings automatically where possible
643 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
644 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
646 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
647 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
648 error.cc is now an empty shell
649 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
650 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
651 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
652 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
653 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
655 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
660 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
664 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
665 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
666 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
668 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
669 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
671 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
672 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
673 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
674 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
675 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
677 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
678 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
679 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
680 endian bug in the process)
681 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
682 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
683 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
684 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
685 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
686 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
687 - opensync-plugin/README update
688 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
689 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
690 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
692 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
694 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
697 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
698 for the broken-down name instead of N
699 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
700 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
701 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
702 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
703 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
704 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
705 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
706 registered two. Moving to single change commit
707 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
708 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
709 ease memory pressure in the library.
710 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
712 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
713 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
714 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
716 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
718 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
719 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
720 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
721 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
722 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
723 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
724 record into the device.... First/Last Name
725 fields are position sensitive, and the code
726 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
727 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
728 were not updated to handle the new field
729 table added for the postal address changes
732 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
733 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
734 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
735 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
736 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
737 UID strings, instead of just numbers
738 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
739 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
740 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
741 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
742 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
744 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
745 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
746 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
747 sync the wrong device and lose data.
748 Actions to take on new PIN:
749 - force slow_sync, or
751 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
752 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
753 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
754 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
756 - changed PIN error message number to hex
758 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
759 "Backup in progress..."
760 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
761 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
762 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
763 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
764 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
765 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
766 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
767 a new class called PostalAddress
768 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
769 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
770 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
771 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
773 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
775 - added vCard converter class
776 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
777 of empty attribute values and parameters,
778 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
779 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
780 an extra nth argument, in order to search
781 for multiple attributes with the same name...
782 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
783 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
784 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
787 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
788 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
789 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
790 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
794 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
795 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
796 new Barry ID would look like a new change
797 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
798 - added support for slow sync
799 - added clear() to idmap class
800 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
801 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
802 - added Notification time support
803 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
804 does not exist in a vformat data block
805 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
806 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
807 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
808 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
809 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
810 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
811 special cases in the future
813 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
815 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
816 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
817 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
819 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
820 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
821 library API that is not yet finished... will be
822 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
823 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
825 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
826 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
827 the goal is to be able to do:
828 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
830 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
831 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
832 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
833 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
835 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
836 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
838 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
840 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
841 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
843 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
844 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
845 in general use will not break on build
846 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
847 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
848 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
850 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
852 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
853 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
854 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
855 SetIds() is already there
856 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
857 and moved into record.h
858 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
860 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
861 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
862 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
863 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
865 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
867 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
868 - changes to PIN message patch:
869 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
870 - fixed tab alignment throughout
871 - removed typedef from Address struct
872 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
873 going to be a standalone type
874 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
875 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
876 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
877 backing on a field for other use
878 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
879 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
880 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
881 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
882 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
883 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
884 PIN Message so that we store both of these
887 - added item to gui/TODO
888 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
890 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
891 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
892 modified to split into the new separate files system
893 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
894 - reformatted the code to match coding style
896 - added copyright notice
897 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
898 - placed in Barry namespace
899 - added #ifdef header protectors
900 - added new files to Makefile.am
901 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
902 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
903 Brian Edginton's patch
904 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
905 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
908 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
909 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
913 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
914 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
915 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
916 linker errors with the new file layout
918 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
919 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
920 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
922 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
923 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
924 and added a command line option to turn
925 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
926 - command line option --help now also works
927 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
928 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
929 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
930 localizing the constants in one place
932 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
933 fields in Contact and Calendar records
934 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
935 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
936 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
937 Outlook from the comments.
938 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
939 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
940 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
941 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
942 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
947 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
948 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
951 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
952 based on the example plugin in the opensync
953 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
957 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
958 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
959 and then success afterward
960 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
961 - added item to gui's todo list
962 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
966 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
970 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
971 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
973 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
974 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
975 - updated maintainer/README
976 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
978 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
979 - bumped release number in barry.spec
982 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
983 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
984 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
985 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
987 - added development note to README
989 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
992 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
993 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
996 - removed some unneeded trace logs
997 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
999 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1000 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1002 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1003 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1005 - opensync module work:
1006 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1007 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1008 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1009 a hard coded calendar record state table
1010 - added lots of logging throughout
1011 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1012 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1013 causing another sync on the next run
1014 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1015 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1016 written to the Blackberry
1017 - more opensync module work:
1018 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1019 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1020 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1021 the environment classes
1022 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1023 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1025 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1026 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1027 a sample configuration
1028 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1029 on success (opensync module)
1030 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1031 - allowed comments in the config file
1032 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1033 routines are not available from the plugin side
1036 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1037 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1038 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1039 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1040 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1041 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1042 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1043 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1044 and the old search didn't always work
1045 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1046 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1047 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1048 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1049 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1050 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1051 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1052 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1053 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1055 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1056 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1057 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1059 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1060 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1062 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1064 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1065 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1067 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1069 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1071 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1072 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1073 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1074 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1075 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1076 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1077 this special case, without relying on string length.
1078 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1079 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1080 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1082 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1084 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1085 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1086 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1087 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1088 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1089 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1090 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1091 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1092 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1094 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1095 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1097 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1098 udev rules for the Pearl
1099 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1101 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1102 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1103 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1104 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1105 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1106 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1107 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1108 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1109 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1110 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1111 - added license file to each package
1112 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1115 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1116 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1118 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1119 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1120 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1122 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1123 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1124 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1125 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1126 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1127 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1128 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1129 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1130 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1132 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1133 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1139 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1142 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1144 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1145 device discovery code
1146 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1147 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1148 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1149 than are really available... in this case, let's
1150 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1151 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1152 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1153 - ReleaseChecklist update
1154 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1155 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1158 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1159 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1161 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1162 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1163 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1164 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1165 no databases selected in configuration
1166 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1167 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1168 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1169 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1170 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1172 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1173 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1174 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1175 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1176 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1177 -v now controls this as well
1178 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1179 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1180 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1181 the beginning of USB conversations
1182 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1183 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1184 its sequence number behaviour
1185 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1186 socket 0 level command
1187 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1188 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1189 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1190 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1191 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1192 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1193 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1194 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1195 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1196 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1197 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1198 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1199 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1201 - updated controller.cc:
1202 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1203 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1204 selecting modes, as it should use the
1205 socket 0 sequence number
1206 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1207 - updated some .cvsignore files
1209 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1210 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1215 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1216 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1217 new PasswordChallenge struct
1218 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1219 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1220 password hashing logic.
1221 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1223 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1224 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1225 - major LDIF overhaul:
1226 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1228 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1229 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1230 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1232 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1234 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1235 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1237 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1238 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1239 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1240 - large update to btool manpage
1241 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1243 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1244 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1245 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1246 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1247 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1248 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1249 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1250 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1251 instead of hardcoding it.
1253 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1254 - minor tweaks to README
1255 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1256 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1257 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1258 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1259 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1260 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1261 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1263 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1264 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1265 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1266 - added iomanip to debug.h
1267 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1268 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1271 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1272 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1273 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1274 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1277 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1278 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1280 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1282 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1283 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1284 one base class: Barry::Error
1285 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1286 - added BadPassword exception
1292 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1293 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1294 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1295 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1296 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1297 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1298 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1300 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1301 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1302 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1303 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1304 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1305 due to pending reads
1307 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1308 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1310 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1311 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1312 - iostream output size fixes
1313 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1314 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1315 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1316 this is still experimental
1317 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1318 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1320 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1321 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1322 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1323 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1325 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1326 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1327 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1328 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1329 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1330 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1331 and record objects that use it.
1332 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1333 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1335 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1336 This returns the default rectype that should work
1337 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1338 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1339 records, this info would be good to know.
1340 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1341 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1342 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1343 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1344 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1345 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1346 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1347 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1348 - backup GUI updates:
1349 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1350 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1351 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1352 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1353 i.e. Backup or Restore
1354 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1355 it appears to be read-only on the device
1356 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1357 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1358 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1359 supported now by the library
1361 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1362 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1364 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1365 using the library should not care about endianness
1366 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1367 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1369 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1371 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1372 Version call instead
1373 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1375 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1376 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1377 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1379 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1380 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1381 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1383 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1384 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1385 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1386 through btool, for development
1387 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1388 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1389 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1390 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1391 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1392 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1393 exceptions need to be handled with
1394 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1395 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1396 - added pending gui/TODO items
1398 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1399 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1400 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1401 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1402 when we try to write to it)
1403 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1405 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1407 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1408 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1409 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1410 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1411 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1413 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1414 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1415 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1416 backups only at this point
1418 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1419 - added version API, returning version number and string
1420 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1421 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1422 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1423 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1425 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1426 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1428 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1429 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1430 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1431 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1433 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1435 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1437 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1438 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1440 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1442 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1443 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1445 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1446 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1447 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1448 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1449 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1450 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1452 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1453 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1454 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1456 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1457 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1458 a future Debian install
1459 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1460 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1461 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1462 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1464 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1465 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1466 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1467 - fixed more endian issues
1468 - minor update to TODO
1470 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1471 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1473 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1474 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1475 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1476 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1478 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1479 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1480 on old build system if wanted
1481 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1482 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1483 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1484 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1485 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1486 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1488 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1489 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1490 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1491 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1492 properly when installed standalone
1493 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1494 installed barry library
1495 - added commentary on version number system
1496 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1497 system supercedes it

1519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1521 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1522 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1524 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1525 uploading to device to fail
1527 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1529 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1530 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1531 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1532 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1533 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1534 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1536 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1537 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1538 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1539 exceptions leak into the C library code
1541 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1542 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1544 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1545 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1547 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1550 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1551 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1552 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1553 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1554 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1555 header of its own, in the case of email
1556 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1557 Record does not know the details of the packet
1558 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1559 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1560 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1561 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1562 the record format details, but does know the
1563 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1565 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1566 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1567 record formats being the same even with different
1568 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1569 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1570 See the header size of the email record after
1572 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1573 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1574 The Controller object does not know the format
1575 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1576 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1577 to talk to the device.
1578 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1580 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1582 - added sample hotplug scripts
1583 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1584 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1585 handle non-little-endian machines
1586 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1587 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1588 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1589 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1590 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1591 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1592 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1593 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1595 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1597 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1598 flags of individual blackberry device records
1599 - added endian macros throughout the code
1601 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1602 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1603 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1605 - removed slow sync functions for now
1607 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1608 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1609 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1610 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1611 the base classes for all exceptions
1612 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1613 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1615 - added to Contact record class:
1617 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1618 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1619 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1622 and upload it to a blackberry
1623 - updated src/.cvsignore
1625 - added parsing of service book fields:
1627 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1629 - old and new description
1631 - bes domain / domain
1632 - date change in legal.txt
1633 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1634 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1635 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1636 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1637 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1639 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1640 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1641 - added AUTHORS file
1642 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1643 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1644 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1646 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1647 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1649 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1653 to the Controller class
1654 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1655 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1656 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1657 support of the template Controller functions

1661 of Controller template member usage
1663 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1665 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1666 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1668 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1669 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1670 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1671 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use
1672 it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT
1673 constants... constants are now removed
1674 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1675 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1676 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

1683 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1684 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1685 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1686 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1687 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1688 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1689 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1691 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1692 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1693 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1694 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1695 throw exception in controller.cc
1696 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1697 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1698 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1699 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1700 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1701 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1702 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1703 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1718 - added boost::serialization to build
1719 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1720 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1721 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1722 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1723 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1725 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1726 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1727 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1728 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()

1734 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1735 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1738 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1739 optimize away protocol struct casts

1745 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1746 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1747 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1748 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1750 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1773 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1774 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1775 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1776 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1777 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1778 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1779 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1780 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1781 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1782 seem to need more time...)
1783 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1784 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1785 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1786 with Python, if used(?)
1787 - added Message class for Email records
1788 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1789 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1790 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1791 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1792 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1793 - cleaned up comments
1794 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
1795 - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
1796 - added Makefile.conf
1797 - added copyright notices to source files
1798 - added COPYING file with GPL
1799 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1800 store object pointers
1801 - added doxygen docs
1802 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1803 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1804 better suited to its general API purpose
1805 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1806 a public API function
1807 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1808 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1810 - added mode checks to Controller
1811 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1812 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1813 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1816 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1817 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1818 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1819 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1820 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1821 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1822 from the Command Table
1823 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1824 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1825 the Cassis spec more closely
1826 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1827 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1828 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1831 - added Doxyfile to the project
1833 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1834 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1835 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1837 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1838 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1839 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1840 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1841 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1842 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1843 less buffer than data copied
1844 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1845 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1846 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1847 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1849 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1850 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1852 - implemented socket::Close()
1853 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1854 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1855 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1857 - added .cvsignore files to project
1858 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1859 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1860 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1861 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1862 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1864 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1865 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1866 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1868 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1869 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1870 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1871 - regular debug output
1872 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1873 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1874 - raw data dump output
1875 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1876 numbers into english (limited success)
1877 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1878 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1879 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1880 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1881 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1882 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1883 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1884 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1885 for socket 0 operations.
1886 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1890 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1891 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1892 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1893 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1895 - syncberry tree started
