Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/11/30
- added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
search by busname / devname
- added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
- added command line options to btool for the above Probe
bus/device names, and updated the man page
- updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
- added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
- fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
spec file for opensuse
2007/11/29
- added better error checking to breset
- commented the sleep() for the 8830
- added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
is loaded!
- changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
log the error in an internal array and keep going.
This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
with two devices plugged in at the same time.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
behaviour, but in practice, it should only
make applications look more capable, not less.
- updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
- added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
- added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
they are so verbose
2007/11/27
- added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
to need this
2007/11/23
- added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
- added code to check whether the configuration is the one
we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
to call it if unnecessary.  This allows us to run
at the same time as usb_storage.
Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
- added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
to reset it back to 0006.  The sleep allows the device
to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
fail naturally on these devices.
This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
2007/11/09
- added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
suggestion.  Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
suggestion.
- fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
- AUTHORS update
- fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
opensync plugin
- updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
- updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
- split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
that release package builds can be done faster
2007/10/26
- opensync plugin fixes:
- fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
- added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
and keep track of the hierarchy when
parsing an iCalendar, etc.
- added support for searching for attributes only
inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
2007/10/25
- fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
member variables, leaving them uninitialized
- added examples/addcalendar.cc
- added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
ToBarry conversion results
- added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
mktime, in vformat.c
- fixed typo in previous fix
2007/10/12
- renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
- version bump:
- configure.ac
- src/Makefile.am
- src/version.cc
- gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
- src/Doxygen
- rpm/barry.spec
- debian/changelog
- opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
- fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
the opensync plugin
Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
- added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
- modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.

Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/09/29
- adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
See bcharge.cc for comments.  If device/power/level or
device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
without recompiling the kernel.
- updated website docs with autosuspend info
2007/09/27
- large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
information in README files to html format, so that it
is commonly available on the web
- added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
.html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
2007/09/22
- added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
needed.... hmmmm
2007/09/21
- updated README to mention new tree build configure options
- fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
- added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
- converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
- added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
- added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
explanatory document for various system requirements
- turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
2007/09/20
- added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
- adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
for opensuse rpm builds
2007/09/13
- fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
automated opensuse 10.2 builds
- fixed build target to i386
- changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
of overwriting it
2007/09/07
- added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
will be updated more frequently
2007/09/05
- applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
configure scripts to support external build directories
- reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
- removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
- added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
- added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
maintainer script
2007/08/24
- fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
parse the comma separated string into an array,
and back
Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
and will affect backward compatibility with
old serialization datafiles
- added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
- added Category support to the opensync plugin
2007/08/23
- fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
- added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
to throw it on error
- changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
- fixed in opensync plugin:
- some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
so added lower case conversion routine
- changed the order of address lines, so that address1
is the street, address2 is the extended address,
and address3 is the PO Box.  The Blackberry
doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
2007/08/20
- added -e endpoint override option to btool
- added status message to endpoint override
2007/08/18
- added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
incorrectly.  Went a little paranoid here, since
AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
changes in the future... ugh.  See src/strnlen.h for
the gory details.
- added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
The description is now part of the probe results
along with the PIN.  Updates to protocol.h, adding
a new attribute definition.
Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
- fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
- updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
- moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
in order to better support SWIG and Python
2007/08/17
- changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
- added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
settings automatically where possible
- updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
- updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
2007/08/16
- cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
error.cc is now an empty shell
- added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
- removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
- added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
2007/08/09
- added better error checking to bcharge.cc
- version bump:
- configure.ac
- src/Makefile.am
- src/version.cc
- gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
- src/Doxygen
- rpm/barry.spec
- debian/changelog
- opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
- removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
that may fail under normal operation, in this case

Release: version 0.8 - 2007/08/03
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/08/03
- moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
- added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc
- clarified unhandled packet error message in socket.cc
- added temporary workaround in opensync-plugin environment's
Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
devices
- fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
- fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
- fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
endian bug in the process)
- moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
- added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
- changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
- added opensync-plugin to configure script build
- added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
- slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
- opensync-plugin/README update
- added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
- added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
2007/08/01
- added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
2007/07/28
- added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
2007/07/27
- opensync plugin:
- fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
for the broken-down name instead of N
- added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
- added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
- changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
to single-change-commit.  Why?  Because opensync
0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
and calls one batch commit function, even if you
registered two.  Moving to single change commit
mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
from the plugin as well, and can in theory
ease memory pressure in the library.
- added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
syncing completion
- disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
be updated until a disconnect occurs.
2007/07/26
- added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
requiring a file
- added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
- fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
- fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
record into the device.... First/Last Name
fields are position sensitive, and the code
was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
- fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
were not updated to handle the new field
table added for the postal address changes
on 2007/07/20, oops
- opensync plugin:
- changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
turn debug output on/off without recompiling
- moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
UID strings, instead of just numbers
- changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
configure properly, it will fail... this is a
safety measure to avoid syncing with different
devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
this should be fixed someday, to handle this
automatically
On second thought... is this right?  Perhaps
it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
sync the wrong device and lose data.
Actions to take on new PIN:
- force slow_sync, or
- fail
- incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
main barry_sync.cc plugin code
- fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
in the case where a sync only read data from it,
and didn't write
- changed PIN error message number to hex
2007/07/20
- minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
"Backup in progress..."
- renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
- added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
- moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
- refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
a new class called PostalAddress
- renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
- moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
new PostalAddress class and renamed it
PostalAddress::GetLabel()
- opensync plugin:
- refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
called vBase
- added vCard converter class
- commented out the code that skipped over the adding
of empty attribute values and parameters,
since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
- movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
an extra nth argument, in order to search
for multiple attributes with the same name...
the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
but we're moving away from vformat when we move
to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
pain
2007/07/19
- added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
added by udev, when first plugged in.  Running bcharge
back-to-back multiple times can crash some
Blackberries.
2007/07/14
- opensync plugin:
- fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
new Barry ID would look like a new change
when syncing back from Barry -> external.
- added support for slow sync
- added clear() to idmap class
- added vformat attr parameter extraction class
- added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
- added Notification time support
- handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
does not exist in a vformat data block
- changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
- also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
disabled timestamps, and added debug output
for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
special cases in the future
2007/07/13
- fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
2007/07/12
- upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
and proceed with OpenSync 0.22.  Reverting the
opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
2007/07/06
- reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
- added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
library API that is not yet finished... will be
committed to opensync svn tree when complete
- added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
2007/06/29
- applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
- updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
the goal is to be able to do:
btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
mutt -f email.mbox
- changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
- applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
- fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
- removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
2007/06/28
- minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
- applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
in configure.ac
- added boost usage message to btool -h output
2007/06/21
- more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
- added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
2007/06/14
- changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
in general use will not break on build
- added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
- added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
- added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
2007/06/08
- applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
dependency
- applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
- updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
- added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
SetIds() is already there
- removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
and moved into record.h
- added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
be more mbox-like
- updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
- opensync compiles again, with 0.30!  (not functional yet)
- moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
- updated release checklist for opensync version number
2007/06/07
- added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
2007/06/06
- applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
- changes to PIN message patch:
- fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
- fixed tab alignment throughout
- removed typedef from Address struct
- added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
going to be a standalone type
- fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
- changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
backing on a field for other use
- did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
PIN Message so that we store both of these
- updated AUTHORS
2007/05/27
- added item to gui/TODO
- applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
2007/05/25
- renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
- applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
modified to split into the new separate files system
- changes to memos and tasks classes:
- reformatted the code to match coding style
(come on Brian) :-)
- added copyright notice
- changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
- placed in Barry namespace
- added #ifdef header protectors
- added new files to Makefile.am
- added new r_*.h headers to record.h
- added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
Brian Edginton's patch
(currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
- added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
- updated AUTHORS

- applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
- ClassFlag
- FreeBusyFlag
- Clear() fixes
- fixed broken formatting in above patch
- refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
- changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
linker errors with the new file layout
2007/05/17
- fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
/bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
- commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
- backup gui:
- removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
- changed the default for debug output to "off"
and added a command line option to turn
it on if necessary  (--debug-output)
- command line option --help now also works
- fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
localizing the constants in one place
2007/05/11
- applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
fields in Contact and Calendar records
- added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
- reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
removed commented out code, and removed mention of
Outlook from the comments.
- updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
- updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
- removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
- updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
libbarry
libbarry-dev
barry-util
barrybackup-gui
- added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
- made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
small on Debian Etch
- opensync plugin:
- more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
based on the example plugin in the opensync
svn tree...  this is a work in progress, and so far
is incomplete
2007/05/04
- opensync plugin:
- partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)

- configure.ac
- src/Makefile.am
- src/version.cc
- gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
- src/Doxygen
- rpm/barry*.spec

2007/05/01
- added pppob to rpm barry.spec
- bumped release number in barry.spec
2007/04/30
- opensync plugin:
- fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
- finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
- started timezone parsing, but this may go away
if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
xml data format...
- added development note to README
2007/04/29
- updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
build instructions
- opensync plugin:
- refactored some calendar conversion routines
- added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
2007/04/27
- opensync module:
- removed some unneeded trace logs
- fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
m_Data pointer
- eased up the requirement that every calendar event
must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
if empty
- added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
- fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
2007/04/26
- opensync module work:
- added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
numeric ID's from the Blackberry
- fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
a hard coded calendar record state table
- added lots of logging throughout
- fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
change object's uid, but created a new ID,
causing another sync on the next run
i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
- fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
written to the Blackberry
- more opensync module work:
- refactored the environment class into another subclass
called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
the environment classes
- added a tagged constructor to the trace class
- fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
2007/04/20
- renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
file for the opensync module... and filled it with
a sample configuration
- added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
on success (opensync module)
- added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
- allowed comments in the config file
- added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
routines are not available from the plugin side
2007/04/19
- updated gui/TODO
- added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
only use idProduct, and updated man page
- updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
- changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
and the old search didn't always work
- applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
- added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
- uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
- applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
- fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
- tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
search at 0
- split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
the vevent20 data (experimental)
2007/04/04
- more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
2007/03/30
- added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
if found
- bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
of the project
- fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
2007/03/29
- applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
- updated AUTHORS
- fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
FullName, even if there was no last name)
- fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
the first name will be empty.  Fixed parser to handle
this special case, without relying on string length.
Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
- added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
- renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
2007/03/17
- fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
2007/03/16
- reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
- added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
- updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
- added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
in some cases
- added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
- fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
2007/03/08
- committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
udev rules for the Pearl

functionality
- applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
RPM's... Thank you!  Notes in the README taken from
the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
- added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
to build cleanly on RHEL 4
- modified rpm/barry.spec:
- does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
- fixed "barry-backup" typo
- removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it

- fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
for the bug report
- applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
user.
- added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
- uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
- added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
- made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe

for it
- added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
device discovery code
- changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc.  Seems that
some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
than are really available... in this case, let's
just ignore the missing data and assume success

Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/02/28
- fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
- added initial release maintainer scripts
- fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
no databases selected in configuration
Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
- added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
- added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
- updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
- added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
2007/02/23
- changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
if in data dump mode.  In btool, -v controls this output.
- minor stream formatting fix in btool
- added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
- made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
-v now controls this as well
- reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
- added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
the beginning of USB conversations
- defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
- made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
its sequence number behaviour
- moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
socket 0 level command
- added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
- renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
- added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
- Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
- implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
- changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
don't generate errors themselves, but only can
have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
- removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
- updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
- removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
of socket 0 packets
- updated controller.cc:
- uses new socket 0 implementation
- removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
selecting modes, as it should use the
socket 0 sequence number
- added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
- updated some .cvsignore files
- updated TODO
- updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
- added the following to ZeroPacket:
- ChallengeSeed()
- RemainingTries()
- SocketResponse()
- SocketSqeuence()
- moved Command() to base Packet class
- added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
new PasswordChallenge struct
- added password support to Socket and Controller classes
Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
password hashing logic.
- updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
2007/02/22
- updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
- fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
- major LDIF overhaul:
- split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
into its own
- fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
- added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
contact field names
- fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
if necessary
- fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
notes fields were missed in old version if not
encoded
- added support for specifying alternate attribute for
constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
- updated btool and upldif to use new features
- large update to btool manpage
- fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
2007/02/15
- added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
- removed commented code from translate.cc
- added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
- added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
- added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
instead of hardcoding it.
2007/02/10
- applied README patch from Ian Darwin
- minor tweaks to README
- added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
- tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
- stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
2007/02/09
- added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
- clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
- removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
- added iomanip to debug.h
- changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
2007/02/04
- updated AUTHORS
- fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
- applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
from Ian Darwin
2007/02/03

- added BadPassword exception
2007/02/01
- version bump in:
- configure.ac
- src/Makefile.am
- src/version.cc
- gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
- updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
- added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
- fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
- TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
in the future.
- also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
- Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
- minor signed comparison fixes in the library
- added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
- added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
due to pending reads

Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007/01/26
- added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
- lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac  
- iostream output size fixes
- added option to btool to reset the device via software
- beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
- checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
this is still experimental
- added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
Debian stable
- uncommented the about box menu handler
- added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
- update ReleaseChecklist.txt
- removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
2007/01/25
- found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries.  This
field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
Browser Options.  It is unknown what this field really
means, but we're calling it RecType.  Updated the API
to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
and record objects that use it.
- changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
32 bits
- added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
This returns the default rectype that should work
for that record.  Ideally this should be retrieved from
the device, but in the case where a database has no
records, this info would be good to know.
- updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
to use GetDefaultRecType()
- documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
- added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
back.  (In the official release, you need to uncomment
ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
- backup GUI updates:
- changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
and changed the logic so the restore continues
even if there was a protocol error on one database
- changed status bar messages to show what's happening
i.e. Backup or Restore
- default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
it appears to be read-only on the device
- added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
- added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
- updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
supported now by the library
2007/01/21
- added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
- applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
- changes to patch:
- removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
using the library should not care about endianness
- hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
so that endian.h never makes it into the final
install
- removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
for the same reason
- removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
Version call instead
- added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
- updated AUTHORS
- fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
2007/01/20
- added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
some older devices
- added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
through btool, for development
- added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
operations, so the GUI is updated properly
- more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
- finished implementation of GUI restore
- fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
exceptions need to be handled with
Glib::add_exception_handler()
- added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
- added pending gui/TODO items
2007/01/19
- backup GUI now properly shows progress
- the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
- refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
when we try to write to it)
- updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
2007/01/18
- moved Data class into Barry namespace
2007/01/13
- updated copyright dates for the new year
- clarified exception message in controller.cc
- fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
- added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
- updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
- updated README
- changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
- added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
backups only at this point
2007/01/11
- added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
- added version API, returning version number and string
- added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
- added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
2007/01/05
- added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
- fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
in probe.h)
- fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
leaving the device in Desktop mode
2007/01/04
- support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
different rules
- modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
USB product ID 6
- added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
2006/12/29
- version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am

Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006/12/29
- added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
- added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
This begins the barry binary release, currently only
including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
the future.  Future binary packages will likely include
libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
depend on.
- added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
- added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
- added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
package scripts

on my system and need to compile releases with stable
2006/12/21
- ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
Just use your distro's libusb packages.

on old build system if wanted
- fixed boost-specific error path in btool
- moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
- moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
into their own tools/ subdirectory
- added NEWS file to make autotools happy
- added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
use only
- reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
barry as a library, to move the programs into their
own tools directory, and support a proper installation
- fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
properly when installed standalone
- added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
installed barry library
- added commentary on version number system
- removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
system supercedes it
- added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
- added library version number to autoconf build
- changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
- removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
- removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
option... may need to revisit this later
- quick installation update in README
2006/12/01

specified multiple times to work with multiple records
at once
- added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
- cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
more use of the base exception to make sure no
exceptions leak into the C library code

Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006/10/12
- fixed casting error in opensync module
- minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
2006/09/29
- added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t.  Thanks Ron Gage for
the bug report
2006/09/08
- large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
splitting the code into 3 groups:
- record: handles record specific parsing and building...
this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
header of its own, in the case of email
Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
Record does not know the details of the packet
formats, only the formats of its own record data.
- packet: handles building of complete command packets
and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
providing an API for it... packet does not know
the record format details, but does know the
details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
packet format.
So far, it seems that there is a real separation
of operation formats and record formats, with the
record formats being the same even with different
database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
See the header size of the email record after
refactoring.
- controller: handles device state, and the management of
sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
The Controller object does not know the format
of either the record or the packet it is sending,
but does know the protocol handshake logic used
to talk to the device.
- implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
we come!
- spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
2006/09/01
- added sample hotplug scripts
- added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
- added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
handle non-little-endian machines
- added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
- removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
and cause a failure to reach the device...
FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
engineered.
- added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
for smarter syncing
- added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
flags of individual blackberry device records
- added endian macros throughout the code
2006/07/13
- added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
- updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN

for development)
- removed slow sync functions for now
2006/07/07
- added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
- added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
- documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
the base classes for all exceptions
- added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
2006/06/22

- Clear()
- ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
- added fragmented send support to Socket class
- added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined
- fixed hex/decimal printing of record counts in btool
- added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
and upload it to a blackberry
- updated src/.cvsignore
2006/06/16
- added parsing of service book fields:
- old and new name
- old and new unique ID (UID)
- content ID (CID)
- old and new description
- DSID
- bes domain / domain
- date change in legal.txt
- added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
- added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
2006/06/09
- added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
- added AUTHORS file
- fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
but not controller.  Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

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

for later saving
2005/12/07
- added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't

2005/11/20
- added legal.txt, to save typing when adding new source files
- ignore test-base64 file (cvsignore)
- added contact-to-ldif generation, and updated supporting code
- added argument to btool to support contact-to-ldif operation
- added Contact::GetPostalAddress()
- added README documentation in preparation for future release
2005/11/19
- added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
- added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
Observed maximum blank count: 1
- added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
- changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
- increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
seem to need more time...)
- reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
- record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
with Python, if used(?)
- added Message class for Email records
- removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
available, and parses it with a Parser object
- added GetDBID() for searching for database numbers via name
- added test code to retrieve and display all email
- cleaned up comments
- renamed blackberry.{h,cc} to controller.{h,cc}
- renamed bbtool.cc to btool.cc
- added Makefile.conf
- added copyright notices to source files
- added COPYING file with GPL
- put parser in Barry namespace, and added auto_ptr-like mode for
store object pointers
- added doxygen docs
- added header comments to convo.awk script
- removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
better suited to its general API purpose
- changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
a public API function
- moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
the command line
- added mode checks to Controller
- added -t and -d command line options to btool
- added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
- converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
file based
2005/11/18
- changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
- renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
- increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
- fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
- cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
from the Command Table
- moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
- added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
the Cassis spec more closely
- fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
- fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
destructors
2005/11/17
- added Doxyfile to the project
- tuned Makefile
- added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
data transfers.
- added Command Table parsing and protocol support
Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
- added Database database parsing and protocol support
Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
- added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
- fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
less buffer than data copied
- added "easy exception" debug output macro
- fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
- fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
data
- removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
- fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
saved
- implemented socket::Close()
- fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
- added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
- fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
2005/11/11
- added .cvsignore files to project
- added README notes to document the source architecture
- added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
- added blackberry.{h,cc} class
- added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
-l = list only
-p = specify pin of blackberry device
- added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
results
- added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
with plain data buffers with little performance impact
- added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
- regular debug output
- exception debug output (should probably be logged to
syslog someday, and never turned off)
- raw data dump output
- changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
numbers into english (limited success)
- fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
- added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
- fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
__attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
- added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
- finished Socket::Open() call  (Close() not yet implemented)
- moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
for socket 0 operations.
- cleaned up pointer management with macros:
MAKE_PACKET()
COMMAND()
IS_COMMAND()
- added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
- added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
- added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
- added Contact record parsing, and test code
2005/10/20
- syncberry tree started
