2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - removed old, unused spec file and scripts for bcharge-only release
5 - fixed rpm build instructions in web docs
6 - reduced minimum password retry level from 6 to 3... Reinhold Schoeb
7 reports that his 8800 device only lets him set a password
8 retry range between 3 and 5, instead of the usual 10 that
11 - added "known issues" section to main www doc page
12 - fixed virtual function mis-name bug in btool's null parser
13 - added -i option to brecsum, to include record IDs in the sums
14 - applied Ashley Willis's btool 0.12 null parser patch to CVS, which
15 required some manual porting changes...
16 - removed bool reference argument in GetParser()
18 - applied Ashley Willis's perlbarry package, putting it in the
19 new contrib/ directory
21 - now that btool patch is applied, don't need it in contrib
22 - removed openssl from dependencies documentation, as barry now
24 - added libtool to dependencies documentation
25 - rpm/barry.spec file now assumes gui and opensync, with conditional
26 checks depending which system it is being built on...
27 --with gui and --with opensync are no longer needed.
28 - updated release scripts to build RPMs with the new spec file
30 - updated udev rules to recognize devices with the 8004 Product ID
31 - fixed bug in test/buildtest.sh when opensync is not pre-built
32 - fixed more lintian warnings on Ubuntu
33 - fixed tiny subheadings in modem web document
34 - added syncing howto web document
35 - updated TODO list, adding Troubleshooting item, and morphing
36 the modem item into the RPC daemon item
37 - moved old doc/TroubleShooting.txt document to web, and updated
39 - added tip to sync web docs, for using DebugMode on hangs
41 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
42 the directory that contains it
43 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
45 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
46 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
47 headers, as it is an internal header only
48 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
49 - added -j option to make to speed builds
50 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
52 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
53 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
54 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
55 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
56 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
57 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
59 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
60 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
62 - added beginnings of a build system test script
63 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
64 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
66 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
67 well as listing some network security concerns

75 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
76 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
77 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
79 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
80 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
81 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
82 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
85 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
86 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
87 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
88 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
89 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
90 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
91 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
92 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
94 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
95 - documentation updates:
96 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
97 - added instructions for building from tarball

123 - added ppp options and chat scripts, with postinit
124 script to set permissions
125 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
127 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
128 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
129 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
131 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
134 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,
135 enabled "usepeerdns" in both, and disabled the speed

146 them automatically in binary packages
147 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
148 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
150 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
151 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
152 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
153 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
154 such as with pppob...
155 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
156 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
157 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
158 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
159 order (no code change, only move)
160 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
161 possible to determine whether a program is using
162 threaded or non-threaded sockets
163 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
164 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
165 and updated the man page
166 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
167 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
170 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
171 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
172 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
173 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
174 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
175 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
176 IpModem endpoints are available
177 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
178 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
179 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
180 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
181 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
183 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
184 to file instead of stderr
185 - added man page for pppob
187 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
188 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
190 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
193 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
194 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
195 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
196 I'm looking at you...)
197 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
198 if no command line arguments are specified
199 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
200 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
202 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
203 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
204 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
205 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
206 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
207 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
208 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
209 like a null terminated string... also added more
210 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
211 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
212 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
213 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
214 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
215 on database records, for testing
216 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
217 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
218 which completes builder support
219 Checksums from the following commands now match:
220 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
221 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
222 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
223 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
224 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
226 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
227 work again... Thanks!
228 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
231 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
232 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
233 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
236 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
239 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
240 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

368 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
369 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
371 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
372 to avoid the CVS directories
373 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
374 diff.gz and dsc files
375 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
376 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
379 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
380 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
381 real opensync libraries
383 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
384 building RPM's from CVS
385 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
386 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
387 on ./configure command line
389 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
390 so that the database name is stored as the first line
392 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
394 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
395 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
397 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
398 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
400 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
401 Paul Dugas for the tip
403 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
404 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
405 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
406 - updated AUTHORS file
408 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
409 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
410 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
411 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
412 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
413 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
414 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
415 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
417 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
418 - updated copyright statments for 2008
420 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
422 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
423 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
428 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
432 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
435 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
436 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
438 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
439 - added pause to maintainer release script
445 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
449 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
451 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
452 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
454 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
455 search by busname / devname
456 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
457 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
458 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
459 bus/device names, and updated the man page
460 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
461 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
462 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
463 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
464 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
465 spec file for opensuse
467 - added better error checking to breset
468 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
469 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
470 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
471 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
472 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
473 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
474 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
476 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
477 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
478 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
479 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
480 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
481 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
482 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
483 make applications look more capable, not less.
484 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
485 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
486 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
489 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
490 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
493 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
494 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
495 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
496 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
497 at the same time as usb_storage.
498 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
499 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
500 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
501 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
502 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
503 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
504 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
505 fail naturally on these devices.
506 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
508 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
509 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
511 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
512 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
514 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
516 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
517 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
518 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
519 that release package builds can be done faster
521 - opensync plugin fixes:
522 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
523 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
524 and keep track of the hierarchy when
525 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
526 - added support for searching for attributes only
527 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
528 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
530 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
531 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
532 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
533 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
534 ToBarry conversion results
535 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
537 - fixed typo in previous fix
539 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
540 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
541 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
546 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
550 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
551 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
553 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
554 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
555 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
556 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
558 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
559 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
561 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
562 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
563 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
564 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
565 without recompiling the kernel.
566 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
568 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
569 information in README files to html format, so that it
570 is commonly available on the web
571 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
572 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
574 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
575 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
578 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
579 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
580 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
581 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
582 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
583 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
584 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
585 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
586 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
587 explanatory document for various system requirements
588 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
590 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
591 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
592 for opensuse rpm builds
594 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
595 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
596 - fixed build target to i386
597 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
600 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
601 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
602 will be updated more frequently
604 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
605 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
606 configure scripts to support external build directories
607 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
608 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
609 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
610 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
611 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
614 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
615 parse the comma separated string into an array,
617 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
618 and will affect backward compatibility with
619 old serialization datafiles
620 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
621 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
623 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
624 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
626 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
627 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
628 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
629 - fixed in opensync plugin:
630 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
631 so added lower case conversion routine
632 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
633 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
634 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
635 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
637 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
638 - added status message to endpoint override
640 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
641 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
642 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
643 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
644 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
645 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
647 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
648 The description is now part of the probe results
649 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
650 a new attribute definition.
651 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
652 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
653 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
654 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
655 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
656 in order to better support SWIG and Python
658 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
659 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
660 settings automatically where possible
661 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
662 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
664 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
665 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
666 error.cc is now an empty shell
667 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
668 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
669 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
670 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
671 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
673 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
678 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
682 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
683 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
684 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
686 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
687 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
689 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
690 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
691 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
692 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
693 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
695 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
696 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
697 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
698 endian bug in the process)
699 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
700 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
701 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
702 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
703 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
704 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
705 - opensync-plugin/README update
706 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
707 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
708 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
710 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
712 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
715 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
716 for the broken-down name instead of N
717 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
718 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
719 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
720 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
721 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
722 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
723 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
724 registered two. Moving to single change commit
725 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
726 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
727 ease memory pressure in the library.
728 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
730 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
731 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
732 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
734 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
736 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
737 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
738 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
739 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
740 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
741 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
742 record into the device.... First/Last Name
743 fields are position sensitive, and the code
744 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
745 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
746 were not updated to handle the new field
747 table added for the postal address changes
750 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
751 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
752 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
753 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
754 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
755 UID strings, instead of just numbers
756 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
757 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
758 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
759 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
760 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
762 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
763 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
764 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
765 sync the wrong device and lose data.
766 Actions to take on new PIN:
767 - force slow_sync, or
769 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
770 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
771 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
772 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
774 - changed PIN error message number to hex
776 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
777 "Backup in progress..."
778 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
779 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
780 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
781 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
782 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
783 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
784 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
785 a new class called PostalAddress
786 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
787 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
788 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
789 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
791 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
793 - added vCard converter class
794 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
795 of empty attribute values and parameters,
796 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
797 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
798 an extra nth argument, in order to search
799 for multiple attributes with the same name...
800 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
801 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
802 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
805 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
806 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
807 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
808 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
812 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
813 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
814 new Barry ID would look like a new change
815 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
816 - added support for slow sync
817 - added clear() to idmap class
818 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
819 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
820 - added Notification time support
821 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
822 does not exist in a vformat data block
823 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
824 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
825 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
826 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
827 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
828 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
829 special cases in the future
831 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
833 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
834 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
835 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
837 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
838 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
839 library API that is not yet finished... will be
840 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
841 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
843 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
844 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
845 the goal is to be able to do:
846 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
848 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
849 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
850 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
851 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
853 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
854 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
856 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
858 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
859 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
861 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
862 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
863 in general use will not break on build
864 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
865 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
866 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
868 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
870 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
871 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
872 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
873 SetIds() is already there
874 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
875 and moved into record.h
876 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
878 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
879 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
880 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
881 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
883 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
885 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
886 - changes to PIN message patch:
887 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
888 - fixed tab alignment throughout
889 - removed typedef from Address struct
890 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
891 going to be a standalone type
892 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
893 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
894 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
895 backing on a field for other use
896 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
897 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
898 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
899 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
900 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
901 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
902 PIN Message so that we store both of these
905 - added item to gui/TODO
906 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
908 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
909 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
910 modified to split into the new separate files system
911 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
912 - reformatted the code to match coding style
914 - added copyright notice
915 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
916 - placed in Barry namespace
917 - added #ifdef header protectors
918 - added new files to Makefile.am
919 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
920 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
921 Brian Edginton's patch
922 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
923 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
926 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
927 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
931 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
932 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
933 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
934 linker errors with the new file layout
936 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
937 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
938 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
940 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
941 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
942 and added a command line option to turn
943 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
944 - command line option --help now also works
945 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
946 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
947 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
948 localizing the constants in one place
950 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
951 fields in Contact and Calendar records
952 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
953 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
954 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
955 Outlook from the comments.
956 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
957 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
958 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
959 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
960 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
965 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
966 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
969 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
970 based on the example plugin in the opensync
971 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
975 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
976 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
977 and then success afterward
978 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
979 - added item to gui's todo list
980 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
984 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
988 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
989 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
991 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
992 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
993 - updated maintainer/README
994 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
996 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
997 - bumped release number in barry.spec
1000 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
1001 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
1002 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
1003 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
1005 - added development note to README
1007 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
1010 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
1011 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
1014 - removed some unneeded trace logs
1015 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
1017 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1018 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1020 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1021 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1023 - opensync module work:
1024 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1025 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1026 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1027 a hard coded calendar record state table
1028 - added lots of logging throughout
1029 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1030 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1031 causing another sync on the next run
1032 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1033 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1034 written to the Blackberry
1035 - more opensync module work:
1036 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1037 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1038 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1039 the environment classes
1040 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1041 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1043 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1044 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1045 a sample configuration
1046 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1047 on success (opensync module)
1048 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1049 - allowed comments in the config file
1050 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1051 routines are not available from the plugin side
1054 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1055 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1056 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1057 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1058 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1059 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1060 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1061 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1062 and the old search didn't always work
1063 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1064 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1065 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1066 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1067 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1068 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1069 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1070 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1071 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1073 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1074 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1075 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1077 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1078 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1080 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1082 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1083 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1085 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1087 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1089 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1090 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1091 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1092 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1093 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1094 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1095 this special case, without relying on string length.
1096 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1097 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1098 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1100 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1102 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1103 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1104 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1105 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1106 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1107 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1108 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1109 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1110 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1112 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1113 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1115 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1116 udev rules for the Pearl
1117 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1119 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1120 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1121 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1122 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1123 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1124 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1125 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1126 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1127 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1128 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1129 - added license file to each package
1130 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1133 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1134 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1136 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1137 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1138 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1140 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1141 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1142 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1143 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1144 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1145 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1146 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1147 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1148 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1150 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1151 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1157 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1160 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1162 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1163 device discovery code
1164 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1165 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1166 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1167 than are really available... in this case, let's
1168 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1169 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1170 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1171 - ReleaseChecklist update
1172 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1173 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1176 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1177 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1179 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1180 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1181 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1182 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1183 no databases selected in configuration
1184 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1185 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1186 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1187 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1188 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1190 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1191 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1192 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1193 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1194 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1195 -v now controls this as well
1196 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1197 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1198 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1199 the beginning of USB conversations
1200 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1201 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1202 its sequence number behaviour
1203 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1204 socket 0 level command
1205 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1206 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1207 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1208 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1209 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1210 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1211 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1212 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1213 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1214 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1215 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1216 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1217 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1219 - updated controller.cc:
1220 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1221 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1222 selecting modes, as it should use the
1223 socket 0 sequence number
1224 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1225 - updated some .cvsignore files
1227 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1228 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1233 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1234 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1235 new PasswordChallenge struct
1236 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1237 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1238 password hashing logic.
1239 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1241 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1242 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1243 - major LDIF overhaul:
1244 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1246 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1247 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1248 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1250 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1252 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1253 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1255 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1256 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1257 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1258 - large update to btool manpage
1259 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1261 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1262 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1263 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1264 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1265 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1266 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1267 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1268 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1269 instead of hardcoding it.
1271 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1272 - minor tweaks to README
1273 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1274 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1275 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1276 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1277 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1278 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1279 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1281 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1282 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1283 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1284 - added iomanip to debug.h
1285 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1286 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1289 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1290 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1291 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1292 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1295 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1296 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1298 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1300 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1301 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1302 one base class: Barry::Error
1303 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1304 - added BadPassword exception
1310 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1311 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1312 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1313 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1314 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1315 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1316 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1318 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1319 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1320 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1321 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1322 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1323 due to pending reads
1325 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1326 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1328 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1329 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1330 - iostream output size fixes
1331 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1332 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1333 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1334 this is still experimental
1335 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1336 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1338 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1339 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1340 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1341 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1343 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1344 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1345 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1346 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1347 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1348 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1349 and record objects that use it.
1350 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1351 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1353 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1354 This returns the default rectype that should work
1355 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1356 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1357 records, this info would be good to know.
1358 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1359 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1360 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1361 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1362 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1363 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1364 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1365 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1366 - backup GUI updates:
1367 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1368 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1369 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1370 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1371 i.e. Backup or Restore
1372 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1373 it appears to be read-only on the device
1374 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1375 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1376 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1377 supported now by the library
1379 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1380 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1382 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1383 using the library should not care about endianness
1384 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1385 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1387 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1389 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1390 Version call instead
1391 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1393 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1394 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1395 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1397 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1398 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1399 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1401 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1402 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1403 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1404 through btool, for development
1405 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1406 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1407 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1408 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1409 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1410 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1411 exceptions need to be handled with
1412 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1413 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1414 - added pending gui/TODO items
1416 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1417 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1418 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1419 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1420 when we try to write to it)
1421 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1423 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1425 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1426 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1427 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1428 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1429 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1431 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1432 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1433 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1434 backups only at this point
1436 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1437 - added version API, returning version number and string
1438 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1439 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1440 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1441 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1443 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1444 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1446 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1447 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1448 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1449 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1451 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1453 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1455 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1456 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1458 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1460 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1461 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1463 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1464 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1465 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1466 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1467 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1468 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1470 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1471 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1472 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1474 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1475 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1476 a future Debian install
1477 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1478 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1479 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1480 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1482 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1483 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1484 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1485 - fixed more endian issues
1486 - minor update to TODO
1488 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1489 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1491 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1492 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1493 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1494 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1496 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1497 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1498 on old build system if wanted
1499 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1500 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1501 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1502 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1503 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1504 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1506 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1507 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1508 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1509 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1510 properly when installed standalone
1511 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1512 installed barry library
1513 - added commentary on version number system
1514 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1515 system supercedes it

1537 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1539 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1540 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1542 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1543 uploading to device to fail
1545 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1547 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1548 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1549 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1550 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1551 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1552 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1554 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1555 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1556 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1557 exceptions leak into the C library code
1559 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1560 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1562 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1563 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1565 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1568 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1569 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1570 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1571 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1572 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1573 header of its own, in the case of email
1574 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1575 Record does not know the details of the packet
1576 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1577 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1578 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1579 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1580 the record format details, but does know the
1581 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1583 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1584 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1585 record formats being the same even with different
1586 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1587 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1588 See the header size of the email record after
1590 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1591 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1592 The Controller object does not know the format
1593 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1594 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1595 to talk to the device.
1596 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1598 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1600 - added sample hotplug scripts
1601 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1602 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1603 handle non-little-endian machines
1604 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1605 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1606 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1607 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1608 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1609 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1610 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1611 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1613 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1615 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1616 flags of individual blackberry device records
1617 - added endian macros throughout the code
1619 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1620 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1621 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1623 - removed slow sync functions for now
1625 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1626 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1627 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1628 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1629 the base classes for all exceptions
1630 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1631 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1633 - added to Contact record class:
1635 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1636 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1637 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1640 and upload it to a blackberry
1641 - updated src/.cvsignore
1643 - added parsing of service book fields:
1645 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1647 - old and new description
1649 - bes domain / domain
1650 - date change in legal.txt
1651 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1652 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1653 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1654 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1655 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1657 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1658 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1659 - added AUTHORS file
1660 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1661 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1662 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1664 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1665 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1667 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1673 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1674 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1675 support of the template Controller functions

1679 of Controller template member usage
1681 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1683 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1684 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1687 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1688 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1689 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1691 constants... constants are now removed
1692 common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc
1693 - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc)
1694 - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree

1701 - added caution warning to README, since this release will support
1702 delete / overwrite / upload functionality
1703 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1704 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1705 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1706 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1707 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1709 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1710 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1711 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1712 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1713 throw exception in controller.cc
1714 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1715 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1716 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1717 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1718 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1719 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1720 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1721 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1725 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1726 be reused for upload and download
1727 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1728 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1729 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data

1736 - added boost::serialization to build
1737 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1738 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1739 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1740 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1741 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1743 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1763 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1764 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1765 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1766 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1768 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25
1769 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1771 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage

1791 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1792 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1793 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1794 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1795 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1796 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1797 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1798 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1799 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1800 seem to need more time...)
1801 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1802 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1803 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1804 with Python, if used(?)
1805 - added Message class for Email records
1806 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1807 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1808 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1809 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1810 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1811 - cleaned up comments

1817 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1818 store object pointers
1819 - added doxygen docs
1820 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1821 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1822 better suited to its general API purpose
1823 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1824 a public API function
1825 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1826 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1828 - added mode checks to Controller
1829 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1830 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1831 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1834 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1835 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1836 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1837 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1838 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1839 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1840 from the Command Table
1841 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1842 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1843 the Cassis spec more closely
1844 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1845 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1846 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1849 - added Doxyfile to the project
1851 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1852 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1853 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1855 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1856 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1857 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1858 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1859 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1860 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1861 less buffer than data copied
1862 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1863 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1864 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1865 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1867 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1868 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1870 - implemented socket::Close()
1871 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1872 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1873 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1875 - added .cvsignore files to project
1876 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1877 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1878 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1879 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1880 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1882 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1883 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1884 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1886 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1887 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1888 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1889 - regular debug output
1890 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1891 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1892 - raw data dump output
1893 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1894 numbers into english (limited success)
1895 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1896 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1897 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1898 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1899 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1900 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1901 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1902 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1903 for socket 0 operations.
1904 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1908 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1909 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1910 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1911 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1913 - syncberry tree started
