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 recurrance 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 he 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 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for a future Debian install - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh - added new udev rule file for Debian stable - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions 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. - fixed more endian issues - minor update to TODO 2006/12/15 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/ - added doc/USB-capture.txt 2006/12/08 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode) - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example 2006/12/07 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn 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 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added some size checks - fixed endian issues in time.h - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted the time zone table for better defaults in North America - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence - added support for Calendar recurrance data - small doc/TimeZones.txt update 2006/11/24 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2006/11/23 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase() - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert from any int - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused uploading to device to fail 2006/11/10 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used, and their hierarchy - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class, GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId() - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be 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 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now, 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 - added to Contact record class: - 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. 2006/05/25 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf 2006/05/18 - make clean cleans up tests properly now 2006/03/31 - turned source code browsing on in Doxyfile - added LoadDatabaseByName() and LoadDatabaseByType() template members to the Controller class - new file: controllertmpl.h - documentation fixes in builder.h - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in support of the template Controller functions - fleshed out DatabaseDatabase::GetDBNumber() and GetDBName(), returning errors properly - documented sample btool.cc code better, and added example of Controller template member usage 2006/03/29 - copyright dates updated for 2006 2006/01/05 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy. Stick with libusb 2005/11/26 2005/12/30 - added clean target to convenience Makefile - added Boost to list of dependencies in README - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use it, instead of the READ_ENDPOINT and WRITE_ENDPOINT constants... constants are now removed common.h, controller.cc, probe.cc, probe.h, usbwrap.cc - added ClearHalt() to Usb::Device (usbwrap.cc) - updated usbwrap.h to match latest libusb CVS devel tree - updated README to refer to 2005/12/30 libusb CVS devel tree - added roadmap to Todo list 2005/12/29 - added convenience Makefile in root directory - added Hacking document - minor touchups to README - added caution warning to README, since this release will support delete / overwrite / upload functionality - minor compile order change in Makefile (speed reasons) - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc} 2005/12/23 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct - 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 class, and "all day event" flag support 2005/12/22 - added autoconf to Todo list - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can be reused for upload and download - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data - changed Data sizes from int to size_t and removed casts - removed unneeded Parser::GetHeaderSize() (new protostructs make this obsolete) - added Calendar::Build() for calendar uploads 2005/12/10 - added s11n-boost.h serialization templates for boost::serialization - added boost::serialization to build - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40, a special 3 byte size packet is sent - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be properly serialized - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld - added Controller::SaveDatabase() 2005/12/08 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc - added builder.h, to support uploading -

changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and structs are completely hidden in the library... this adds library-only header: protostructs.h Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2005/11/25 - added barry.h for documentation purposes and application usage - updated README for release - renamed SBError exception class to BError - updated Doxyfile to version 1.4.5 - added more doxygen comments 2005/11/24 -

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 -

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 |
