1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/07/??
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()
11 - applied Ashley Willis's perlbarry package, putting it in the
12 new contrib/ directory
14 - now that btool patch is applied, don't need it in contrib
15 - removed openssl from dependencies documentation, as barry now
17 - added libtool to dependencies documentation
18 - rpm/barry.spec file now assumes gui and opensync, with conditional
19 checks depending which system it is being built on...
20 --with gui and --with opensync are no longer needed.
22 - updated udev rules to recognize devices with the 8004 Product ID
23 - fixed bug in test/buildtest.sh when opensync is not pre-built
24 - fixed more lintian warnings on Ubuntu
25 - fixed tiny subheadings in modem web document
26 - added syncing howto web document
27 - updated TODO list, adding Troubleshooting item, and morphing
28 the modem item into the RPC daemon item
29 - moved old doc/TroubleShooting.txt document to web, and updated
31 - added tip to sync web docs, for using DebugMode on hangs
33 - changed test/buildtest.sh so it is safe to run from outside
34 the directory that contains it
35 - added note to patch webpage regarding testing patches to the
37 - removed mis-configured 'make dist' check from buildtest.sh
38 - added missing 'scoped_lock.h' to src/Makefile.am's non-installed
39 headers, as it is an internal header only
40 - improved buildtest.sh: speed, accuracy
41 - added -j option to make to speed builds
42 - moved cleanall check above 'make dist' as dist doesn't
44 - commented out 'make distcheck' for now, as it doesn't work
45 - added DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to root Makefile.am, similar to
46 David Everly's patch in tracker # 1973536
47 Thanks David! 'make distcheck' now works, but only in
48 an environment like buildtest.sh creates.
49 Also, buildtest.sh passes all tests now, including distcheck.
51 - removed unused src/controllertmpl.h
52 - added ppp and test directories to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST
54 - added beginnings of a build system test script
55 - fixed sha1.h so it is installed by src/Makefile.am
56 - removed old Makefile.orig from src/Makefile.am
58 - updated modem web documentation page with Sprint option, as
59 well as listing some network security concerns
61 - added modem reset workaround to web documentation page
62 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
63 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
64 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
65 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
66 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
67 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
68 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
69 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
71 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
72 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
73 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
74 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
77 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
78 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
79 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
80 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
81 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
82 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
83 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
84 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
86 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
87 - documentation updates:
88 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
89 - added instructions for building from tarball

102 - fixed missing -P option in btool manpage
103 - updated rpm spec file history
104 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
105 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
106 and updated the build process to support them.
107 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
108 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
109 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
110 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc

113 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, pppob, upldif,
115 - added ppp options and chat scripts, with postinit
116 script to set permissions
117 - fixed descriptions in control file to avoid lintian warnings
119 - fixed missing #includes in src/data.cc
120 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
121 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
123 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs
126 - reorganized sample ppp options files so they are easier to compare,
127 enabled "usepeerdns" in both, and disabled the speed

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

360 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
361 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
363 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
364 to avoid the CVS directories
365 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
366 diff.gz and dsc files
367 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
368 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
371 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
372 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
373 real opensync libraries
375 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
376 building RPM's from CVS
377 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
378 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
379 on ./configure command line
381 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
382 so that the database name is stored as the first line
384 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
386 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
387 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
389 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
390 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
392 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
393 Paul Dugas for the tip
395 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
396 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
397 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
398 - updated AUTHORS file
400 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
401 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
402 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
403 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
404 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
405 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
406 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
407 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
409 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
410 - updated copyright statments for 2008
412 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
414 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
415 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
420 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
424 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
427 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
428 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
430 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
431 - added pause to maintainer release script
437 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
441 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
443 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
444 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
446 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
447 search by busname / devname
448 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
449 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
450 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
451 bus/device names, and updated the man page
452 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
453 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
454 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
455 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
456 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
457 spec file for opensuse
459 - added better error checking to breset
460 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
461 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
462 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
463 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
464 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
465 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
466 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
468 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
469 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
470 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
471 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
472 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
473 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
474 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
475 make applications look more capable, not less.
476 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
477 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
478 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
481 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
482 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
485 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
486 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
487 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
488 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
489 at the same time as usb_storage.
490 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
491 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
492 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
493 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
494 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
495 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
496 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
497 fail naturally on these devices.
498 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
500 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
501 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
503 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
504 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
506 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
508 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
509 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
510 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
511 that release package builds can be done faster
513 - opensync plugin fixes:
514 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
515 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
516 and keep track of the hierarchy when
517 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
518 - added support for searching for attributes only
519 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
520 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
522 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
523 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
524 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
525 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
526 ToBarry conversion results
527 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
529 - fixed typo in previous fix
531 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
532 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
533 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
538 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
542 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
543 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
545 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
546 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
547 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
548 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
550 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
551 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
553 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
554 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
555 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
556 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
557 without recompiling the kernel.
558 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
560 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
561 information in README files to html format, so that it
562 is commonly available on the web
563 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
564 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
566 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
567 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
570 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
571 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
572 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
573 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
574 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
575 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
576 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
577 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
578 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
579 explanatory document for various system requirements
580 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
582 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
583 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
584 for opensuse rpm builds
586 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
587 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
588 - fixed build target to i386
589 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
592 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
593 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
594 will be updated more frequently
596 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
597 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
598 configure scripts to support external build directories
599 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
600 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
601 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
602 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
603 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
606 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
607 parse the comma separated string into an array,
609 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
610 and will affect backward compatibility with
611 old serialization datafiles
612 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
613 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
615 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
616 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
618 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
619 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
620 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
621 - fixed in opensync plugin:
622 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
623 so added lower case conversion routine
624 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
625 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
626 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
627 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
629 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
630 - added status message to endpoint override
632 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
633 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
634 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
635 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
636 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
637 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
639 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
640 The description is now part of the probe results
641 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
642 a new attribute definition.
643 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
644 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
645 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
646 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
647 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
648 in order to better support SWIG and Python
650 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
651 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
652 settings automatically where possible
653 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
654 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
656 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
657 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
658 error.cc is now an empty shell
659 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
660 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
661 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
662 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
663 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
665 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
670 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
674 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
675 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
676 that may fail under normal operation, in this case
678 Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
679 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
681 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
682 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
683 - clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
684 - added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
685 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
687 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
688 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
689 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
690 endian bug in the process)
691 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
692 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
693 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
694 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
695 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
696 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
697 - opensync-plugin/README update
698 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
699 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
700 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
702 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
704 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
707 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
708 for the broken-down name instead of N
709 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
710 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
711 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
712 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
713 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
714 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
715 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
716 registered two. Moving to single change commit
717 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
718 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
719 ease memory pressure in the library.
720 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
722 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
723 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
724 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
726 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
728 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
729 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
730 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
731 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
732 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
733 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
734 record into the device.... First/Last Name
735 fields are position sensitive, and the code
736 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
737 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
738 were not updated to handle the new field
739 table added for the postal address changes
742 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
743 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
744 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
745 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
746 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
747 UID strings, instead of just numbers
748 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
749 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
750 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
751 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
752 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
754 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
755 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
756 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
757 sync the wrong device and lose data.
758 Actions to take on new PIN:
759 - force slow_sync, or
761 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
762 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
763 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
764 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
766 - changed PIN error message number to hex
768 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
769 "Backup in progress..."
770 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
771 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
772 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
773 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
774 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
775 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
776 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
777 a new class called PostalAddress
778 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
779 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
780 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
781 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
783 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
785 - added vCard converter class
786 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
787 of empty attribute values and parameters,
788 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
789 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
790 an extra nth argument, in order to search
791 for multiple attributes with the same name...
792 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
793 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
794 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
797 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
798 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
799 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
800 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
804 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
805 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
806 new Barry ID would look like a new change
807 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
808 - added support for slow sync
809 - added clear() to idmap class
810 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
811 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
812 - added Notification time support
813 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
814 does not exist in a vformat data block
815 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
816 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
817 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
818 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
819 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
820 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
821 special cases in the future
823 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
825 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
826 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
827 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
829 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
830 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
831 library API that is not yet finished... will be
832 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
833 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
835 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
836 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
837 the goal is to be able to do:
838 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
840 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
841 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
842 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
843 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
845 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
846 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
848 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
850 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
851 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
853 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
854 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
855 in general use will not break on build
856 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
857 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
858 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
860 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
862 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
863 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
864 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
865 SetIds() is already there
866 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
867 and moved into record.h
868 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
870 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
871 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
872 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
873 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
875 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
877 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
878 - changes to PIN message patch:
879 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
880 - fixed tab alignment throughout
881 - removed typedef from Address struct
882 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
883 going to be a standalone type
884 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
885 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
886 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
887 backing on a field for other use
888 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
889 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
890 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
891 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
892 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
893 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
894 PIN Message so that we store both of these
897 - added item to gui/TODO
898 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
900 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
901 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
902 modified to split into the new separate files system
903 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
904 - reformatted the code to match coding style
906 - added copyright notice
907 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
908 - placed in Barry namespace
909 - added #ifdef header protectors
910 - added new files to Makefile.am
911 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
912 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
913 Brian Edginton's patch
914 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
915 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
918 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
919 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
923 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
924 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
925 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
926 linker errors with the new file layout
928 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
929 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
930 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
932 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
933 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
934 and added a command line option to turn
935 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
936 - command line option --help now also works
937 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
938 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
939 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
940 localizing the constants in one place
942 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
943 fields in Contact and Calendar records
944 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
945 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
946 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
947 Outlook from the comments.
948 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
949 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
950 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
951 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
952 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
957 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
958 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
961 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
962 based on the example plugin in the opensync
963 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
967 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
968 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
969 and then success afterward
970 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
971 - added item to gui's todo list
972 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
976 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
980 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
981 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
983 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
984 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
985 - updated maintainer/README
986 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
988 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
989 - bumped release number in barry.spec
992 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
993 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
994 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
995 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
997 - added development note to README
999 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
1002 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
1003 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
1006 - removed some unneeded trace logs
1007 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
1009 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
1010 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
1012 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
1013 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
1015 - opensync module work:
1016 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
1017 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
1018 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
1019 a hard coded calendar record state table
1020 - added lots of logging throughout
1021 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
1022 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
1023 causing another sync on the next run
1024 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
1025 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
1026 written to the Blackberry
1027 - more opensync module work:
1028 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
1029 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
1030 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
1031 the environment classes
1032 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
1033 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
1035 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
1036 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
1037 a sample configuration
1038 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
1039 on success (opensync module)
1040 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
1041 - allowed comments in the config file
1042 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
1043 routines are not available from the plugin side
1046 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
1047 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
1048 only use idProduct, and updated man page
1049 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
1050 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
1051 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
1052 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
1053 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
1054 and the old search didn't always work
1055 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
1056 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
1057 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
1058 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1059 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1060 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1061 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1062 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1063 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1065 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1066 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1067 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1069 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1070 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1072 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1074 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1075 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1077 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1079 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1081 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1082 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1083 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1084 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1085 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1086 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1087 this special case, without relying on string length.
1088 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1089 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1090 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1092 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1094 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1095 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1096 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1097 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1098 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1099 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1100 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1101 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1102 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1104 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1105 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1107 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1108 udev rules for the Pearl
1109 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1111 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1112 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1113 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1114 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1115 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1116 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1117 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1118 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1119 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1120 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1121 - added license file to each package
1122 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1125 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1126 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1128 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1129 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1130 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1132 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1133 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1134 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1135 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1136 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1137 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1138 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1139 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1140 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1142 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1143 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1149 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1152 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1154 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1155 device discovery code
1156 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1157 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1158 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1159 than are really available... in this case, let's
1160 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1161 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1162 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1163 - ReleaseChecklist update
1164 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1165 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1168 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1169 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1171 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1172 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1173 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1174 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1175 no databases selected in configuration
1176 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1177 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1178 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1179 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1180 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1182 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1183 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1184 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1185 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1186 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1187 -v now controls this as well
1188 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1189 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1190 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1191 the beginning of USB conversations
1192 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1193 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1194 its sequence number behaviour
1195 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1196 socket 0 level command
1197 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1198 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1199 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1200 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1201 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1202 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1203 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1204 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1205 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1206 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1207 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1208 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1209 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1211 - updated controller.cc:
1212 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1213 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1214 selecting modes, as it should use the
1215 socket 0 sequence number
1216 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1217 - updated some .cvsignore files
1219 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1220 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1225 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1226 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1227 new PasswordChallenge struct
1228 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1229 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1230 password hashing logic.
1231 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1233 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1234 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1235 - major LDIF overhaul:
1236 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1238 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1239 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1240 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1242 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1244 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1245 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1247 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1248 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1249 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1250 - large update to btool manpage
1251 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1253 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1254 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1255 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1256 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1257 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1258 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1259 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1260 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1261 instead of hardcoding it.
1263 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1264 - minor tweaks to README
1265 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1266 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1267 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1268 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1269 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1270 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1271 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1273 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1274 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1275 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1276 - added iomanip to debug.h
1277 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1278 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1281 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1282 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1283 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1284 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1287 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1288 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1290 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1292 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1293 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1294 one base class: Barry::Error
1295 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1296 - added BadPassword exception
1302 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1303 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1304 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1305 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1306 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1307 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1308 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1310 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1311 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1312 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1313 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1314 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1315 due to pending reads
1317 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1318 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1320 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1321 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1322 - iostream output size fixes
1323 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1324 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1325 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1326 this is still experimental
1327 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1328 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1330 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1331 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1332 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1333 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1335 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1336 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1337 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1338 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1339 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1340 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1341 and record objects that use it.
1342 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1343 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1345 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1346 This returns the default rectype that should work
1347 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1348 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1349 records, this info would be good to know.
1350 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1351 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1352 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1353 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1354 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1355 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1356 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1357 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1358 - backup GUI updates:
1359 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1360 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1361 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1362 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1363 i.e. Backup or Restore
1364 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1365 it appears to be read-only on the device
1366 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1367 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1368 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1369 supported now by the library
1371 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1372 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1374 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1375 using the library should not care about endianness
1376 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1377 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1379 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1381 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1382 Version call instead
1383 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1385 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1386 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1387 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1389 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1390 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1391 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1393 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1394 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1395 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1396 through btool, for development
1397 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1398 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1399 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1400 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1401 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1402 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1403 exceptions need to be handled with
1404 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1405 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1406 - added pending gui/TODO items
1408 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1409 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1410 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1411 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1412 when we try to write to it)
1413 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1415 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1417 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1418 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1419 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1420 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1421 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1423 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1424 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1425 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1426 backups only at this point
1428 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1429 - added version API, returning version number and string
1430 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1431 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1432 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1433 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1435 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1436 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1438 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1439 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1440 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1441 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1443 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1445 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1447 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1448 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1450 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1452 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1453 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1455 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1456 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1457 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1458 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1459 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1460 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1462 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1463 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1464 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1466 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1467 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1468 a future Debian install
1469 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1470 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1471 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1472 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1474 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1475 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1476 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1477 - fixed more endian issues
1478 - minor update to TODO
1480 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1481 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1483 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1484 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1485 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1486 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1488 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1489 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1490 on old build system if wanted
1491 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1492 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1493 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1494 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1495 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1496 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1498 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1499 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1500 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1501 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1502 properly when installed standalone
1503 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1504 installed barry library
1505 - added commentary on version number system
1506 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1507 system supercedes it

1529 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1531 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1532 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1534 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1535 uploading to device to fail
1537 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1539 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first

1542 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1543 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1544 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1546 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1547 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1548 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1549 exceptions leak into the C library code
1551 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1552 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1554 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1555 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1557 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1560 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1561 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1562 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1563 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1564 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1565 header of its own, in the case of email
1566 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1567 Record does not know the details of the packet
1568 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1569 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1570 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1571 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1572 the record format details, but does know the
1573 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1575 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1576 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1577 record formats being the same even with different
1578 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1579 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1580 See the header size of the email record after
1582 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1583 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1584 The Controller object does not know the format
1585 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1586 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1587 to talk to the device.
1588 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1590 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1592 - added sample hotplug scripts
1593 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1594 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1595 handle non-little-endian machines
1596 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1597 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1598 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1599 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1600 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1601 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1602 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1603 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1605 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1607 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1608 flags of individual blackberry device records
1609 - added endian macros throughout the code
1611 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1612 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1613 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1615 - removed slow sync functions for now
1617 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1618 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1619 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1620 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1621 the base classes for all exceptions
1622 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1623 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1625 - added to Contact record class:
1627 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1628 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1629 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1632 and upload it to a blackberry
1633 - updated src/.cvsignore
1635 - added parsing of service book fields:
1637 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1639 - old and new description
1641 - bes domain / domain
1642 - date change in legal.txt
1643 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1644 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1645 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1646 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1647 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1649 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1650 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1651 - added AUTHORS file
1652 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1653 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1654 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

1671 of Controller template member usage
1673 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1675 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1676 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26

1695 - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons)
1696 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1697 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1698 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1699 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1701 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1702 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1703 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1704 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1705 throw exception in controller.cc
1706 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1707 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1708 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1709 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1710 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1711 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1712 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1713 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1729 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1730 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1731 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1732 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1733 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1735 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template

1755 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1756 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1757 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1758 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1760 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1783 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1784 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1785 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1786 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1787 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1788 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1789 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1790 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1791 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1792 seem to need more time...)
1793 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1794 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1795 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1796 with Python, if used(?)
1797 - added Message class for Email records
1798 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1799 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1800 available, and parses it with a Parser object
1801 - added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
1802 - added test code to retrieve and display all email
1803 - cleaned up comments
1804 - renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
1805 - renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
1806 - added Makefile.conf
1807 - added copyright notices to source files
1808 - added COPYING file with GPL
1809 - put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
1810 store object pointers
1811 - added doxygen docs
1812 - added header comments to convo.awk script
1813 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1814 better suited to its general API purpose
1815 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1816 a public API function
1817 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1818 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1820 - added mode checks to Controller
1821 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1822 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1823 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1826 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1827 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1828 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1829 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1830 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1831 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1832 from the Command Table
1833 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1834 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1835 the Cassis spec more closely
1836 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1837 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1838 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1841 - added Doxyfile to the project
1843 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1844 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1845 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1847 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1848 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1849 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1850 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1851 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1852 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1853 less buffer than data copied
1854 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1855 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1856 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1857 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1859 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1860 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1862 - implemented socket::Close()
1863 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1864 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1865 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1867 - added .cvsignore files to project
1868 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1869 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1870 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1871 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1872 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1874 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1875 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1876 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1878 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1879 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1880 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1881 - regular debug output
1882 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1883 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1884 - raw data dump output
1885 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1886 numbers into english (limited success)
1887 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1888 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1889 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1890 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1891 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1892 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1893 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1894 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1895 for socket 0 operations.
1896 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1900 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1901 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1902 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1903 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1905 - syncberry tree started
