OpenSync is a synchronization framework that is platform and distribution
independent. It consists of a powerful sync-engine and several plugins
that can be used to connect to devices.
OpenSync is very flexible and capable of synchronizing any type of data,
including contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and files.
This release contains a large number of fixes, including:
- A recently published security vulnerability in the manager
interface (ASA-2007-012)
- Another recently published security vulnerability in the
SIP channel driver (ASA-2007-011)
Along with minor bug fixes, this release incorporates a fix for the
SIP DoS vulnerability recently discovered by INRIA Lorraine.
All users of Asterisk 1.2 with the SIP channel driver loaded and
connected to an untrusted network are urged to update to this release
to avoid the possibility of experiencing this problem.
Note that the option "zaptel" won't compile any more since version 1.2.16.
This needs an upgrade of the netbsd zaptel driver.

Version 0.44
- Removed the -module argument from libmal_la_LDFLAGS. It never should
have been there; it was accidentally included from a copy/paste.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pilot-link 0.12.2, "Dance With the Devil" aka "Distraction", 02-09-2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 months since the last release (0.12.1) and we have another release! This
one is mostly a maintenance release, but there are some new things in here.
Major Features:
* More cleanup in libpisock and documentation, addition of some new
(working :) BlueZ support, new udev rules, expanded OS5 Contacts
support, expanded OS X support and a lot more!
Other Features:
* No major features in this release, mostly bug fixes and minor
tweaks here and there. The website has also been refreshed with
new content and a completely new layout. All source files are now
version-tracked in the header.
Bug Fixes:
* Python support was broken, fixed now, doh! Palm T|X over libusb
has been fixed (we hope) with this release. Of course we need
testers to validate that. All of userland is renamed now to avoid
some namespace pollution. Documentation is all current with
respect to this release, all manpages are in XML source format
(requires xsltproc to process), and much more.
Cater for postscript viewers such as evince which, if an instance
of the program is already running, will return before the file to
be viewed is displayed.
Changes 3.0.13:
Use GtkToolItem interface where compiled against GTK+ >= 2.4
Use Glib atomic functions for locked reference counting where
compiled against glib >= 2.4
Improve robustness of referencing of PrintManager class
Don't allow GtkEntry objects to select contents automatically when
acquiring focus and update copyright notice
Take some miscellaneous thread functions/objects out of global
namespace
Refer to evince rather than ggv as the Gnome ps file viewer
Modify interface of AsyncQueue class
In the README file, refer to using rpmbuild and not rpm to build
rpm packages.
Changes from v1.108 to v1.109
* Conduits included in the PilotManager distribution now have
version numbers identical to the PilotManager version.
Third-party conduits can (and should) continue to have their own
version number schemes.
* Change the way we reference constants exported from libpisock,
in preparation for pilot-link 0.12.0-pre5. Backwards
compatibility is maintained. Use symbolic constants instead of
hard-coded integer values, if running with a version of pilot-link
that provides them.
* A second attempt to fix the bug in the Properties dialog with
Tk-804. The first one didn't work with certain combinations of
libraries.
* Fix bug introduced in 1.108 that broke -syncwith and -install
for normally inactive conduits.
* Don't call conduitQuit on conduits that haven't been loaded.
Eliminates an error message when using -syncwith (bug introduced
in 1.108).
* Fix bug where PilotManager would report a successful connection
and then a Perl error, when what really happened was simply a
timeout.
* Eliminated numerous -w warnings
* PilotSync.pm (affects SyncAB, SyncFood, and some third-party
conduits; all changes by Ralf Schlatterbeck): fix some crash bugs
and a bug that caused creation of empty fields; add support for
full sync; some new functionality for use by conduit authors:
possibility to skip some pilot records, and to generate local ID
based on contents of pilot record.
* SyncMemo conduit: work around a bug in perl 5.8.0 that was
causing the filename filters not to work sometimes. The
workaround involves forcing these filters to be ASCII-only; this
could conceivably be a problem for people using non-ASCII
filenames. Fix bug that caused spurious conflict to be detected
when doing full sync and a file had changed but the corresponding
pilot memo had not. Eliminate some barewords to avoid strict subs
warnings in some versions of perl (bug report from Ralf
Schlatterbeck).
* SyncCM conduit: Work around libcsa bug that was causing "INVALID
DATE TIME" error when syncing "all dates" in a timezone east of
GMT; workaround for dtcm bug that made weekly repeating
appointments created on the pilot uneditable in dtcm; fix up
repeating appointments from the pilot whose start date isn't one
of the repeat days. The following patches from Alan Harder: if cm
appointment has no end time, use end time equal to start time on
pilot (rather than refusing to sync the appointment); clearer and
more informative log messages; when doing "Sync All (dates)", use
2021 instead of 2010 as the end of the range; propagate
appointment deletion from palm to desktop even if the archive flag
is set.
* Installer conduit: Respect -rcdir argument when running
installer from command line (Alan Harder)
* Backup conduit: add an option "Ignore modify date (backup every
time)"; more informative log messages. (Both by Alan Harder.)
For deciding whether to back up a database, use a different scheme
that doesn't depend on the two clocks being synchronized.
* SyncTime conduit: remove workaround for some ancient pilot-link
version (Alan Harder).
* SyncFood conduit: Refuse to sync if $FOODFILE has been deleted,
in order to avoid wiping everything out. Patch from Alan Harder, I
haven't tested it.
* SyncAB conduit: fix bug in setting vCard file name, and in
handling of newlines (Alan Harder). Implement full sync, allowing
sync with multiple desktop machines (Ralf Schlatterbeck). Allow
filtering by private flag and by category (Ralf Schlatterbeck).
* SyncPlan conduit: Appointments that repeat more than one day a
week, every n weeks, where n > 1, are possible on the pilot but
not in plan. Signal them as unsyncable, rather than converting
them to once-per-week repeats (Thomas DeWeese). Show progress bar
while reading Pilot records. Re-fix bug about plan alarms getting
turned off that was supposed to be fixed in 1.108 but really
wasn't. Fix some bugs related to time zone conversion: end date
of repeating appointments would move back a day when synced from
pilot to plan in time zones east of GMT, and appointment times
shown in the log window would be in GMT rather than local time.
* SendMail conduit: fix bug that comes up when the database
doesn't exist on the pilot.
* Remove contrib/dinesh-dutt, which was an old version of software
that was later distributed on its own (the syncbbdb project on
sourceforge, not to be confused with syncbbdb2, which is an
unrelated project and is the one I recommend for bbdb syncing).
Changes from v1.107 to v1.108
* Add error checking throughought PilotManager and several
conduits to fix a bug that caused data loss when the link to the
pilot was lost during a sync.
* Only load active conduits, rather than all conduits, at
startup. This means that you no longer need to rename or delete
unused conduits that have missing dependencies. As a side
effect, the "Load New Conduits..." menu item is gone, replaced
by a "Rescan" button on the "Properties" dialog.
* Changes for compatibility with pilot-link 0.12.0. Backwards
compatibility with earlier pilot-link versions is matained.
* Changes for compatibility with Tk 804. fixes bug causing some
color preferences to be ignored when using Tk 804, and fixes
buggy behavior of the Up and Down buttons in the Preferences
dialog.
* Fix pcid corruption in preferences file that could cause every sync
to be a full sync.
* Fix hang when trying to sync to a USB device that wasn't connected.
* Applied patch to fix problems with PalmOS 3.5 and above.
* Fix purely cosmetic y2k display bug.
* Use Digest::MD5 instead of the deprecated MD5.
* Patch from NWalsh to lib/perl5/PilotSync.pm, fixes unreliability
problems, esp. with newer versions of Perl.
* Change the dates in the log messages to be ISO compliant instead
of US-centric mm/dd/yyyy (Mark Staveley).
* Replaced Setup script with Setup.pl. The script is no longer
invoked automatically the first time PilotManager is run; rather,
it must be run by hand (perl Setup.pl) to create the executable
PilotManager.
* If Setup.pl is given a -conduitdir argument, then PilotManager
will look in that directory for loadable conduit modules (in
addition to the directories it already looked in).
* Updated developer contact information
* Backup conduit: update to version 1.008, which had been released
separately as 1.008ea.
- Better, more consistent filename handling throughout.
* Installer conduit: update to version 1.009, which had been released
separately as 1.009ea2.
- Recognizes .pqa files as well as .pdb/.prc.
- Only use included "MultiFileSelect.pm" with Tk 4.0,
otherwise, use Tk::Fileselect module.
- Print message after each file is installed.
* SendMail conduit: new version 0.900
- only perform wordwrap on body of mail message, not
headers. (Chris Waters)
- Check for I/O errors (see comment at top of ChangeLog)
* SyncAB conduit: no changes, version number stays at 0.96 BETAp1.
* SyncCM conduit: new version 1.103
- Check for I/O errors (see comment at top of ChangeLog)
* SyncFood conduit: no changes, version number stays at 0.96 BETA.
* SyncMemo conduit: new version 1.9 integrates changes from
version 1.8-ea2, which had been released separately, plus
additional changes.
- from 1.8ea2: Use internal checksum function instead of
Shell::sum.
- from 1.8ea2: Use internal isPilotText function instead of
Shell::file
- from 1.8ea2: Use opendir/readdir/closedir for directory access
rather than relying on globbing. Fixes breakage when category
names have whitespace.
- Eliminate discrepancy between behavior of full sync and fast
sync. In earlier versions, a memo deleted from the desktop would
be deleted from the pilot during a fast sync, but recopied from
the pilot to the desktop on a full sync. A preferences option
allows you to keep the old behavior if you wish.
- Process all file deletions before any file creations, to avoid
unnecessary file name collisions.
- Use gtkdiff or tkdiff if filemerge not available (Mark
Staveley). Better would be to allow merge program to be chosen
via the configuration gui--patches welcome.
- Remove special characters from filenames (idea from Mark
Staveley)
- Increase maximum file name length (Mark Staveley)
- Check for I/O errors (see comment at top of ChangeLog)
* SyncPlan conduit: new version 0.97 integrates changes from
version 0.96BETA, which had been released separately, plus
additional changes.
- from 0.96BETA: Support for weekly appts from pilot with
frequency > 1 (patch by Alan Harder based on changes in
sync-plan)
- from 0.96BETA: Fix repeat end date for daily repeating plan
records (patch by Alan Harder based on research by Aaron
Kaplan)
- from 0.96BETA: Patch to support plan records with two alarms
(just use earlier one for pilot) by Kevin Fink
- from 0.96BETA: Configurable level of verbose output and
configurable netplan port, patch by Andreas S. Oesterhelt
(oes@paradis.rhein.de)
- Fix a bug that caused deleted records to reappear when
syncing one pilot with more than one desktop machine.
- Fix a bug that would cause an alarm to be disabled in plan if
the appointment was modified on the pilot. As a side-effect,
any appointment created on the pilot will now have an alarm
set in plan.
- Check for I/O errors (see comment at top of ChangeLog)
* Updated version of contrib/alan-harder/UpdateMemos.pl
* Added SyncAB_plusBBDB to contrib/dinesh-dutt. This had never
been released as part of a PilotManager package, but was available
separately on moshpit.org. Since I'm already supporting
SyncBBDB, I don't intend to support SyncAB_plusBBDB.
* SourceForge CVS repository set up (Chris Waters)
* Development now coordinated by Aaron Kaplan
changes:
1.2.15: This release contains a significant Astribank (XPP) driver update,
support for Digium's TE120P card, and various bug fixes.
1.2.16: This release contains a number of bug fixes, including a fix for
a recently discovered security vulnerability. All Asterisk 1.2 users are
urged to update to this release as soon as possible.
This is in response to PR pkg/35924 by David Wetzel. The PR suggests
to update to 1.4.1, but since I'm not using Asterisk myself I prefer
to do just the minor update (which also fixes the security vulnerability)
for now.
1. obexapp rc.d script so you can start server mode automatically
2. new patch-ae to make the sdp registration happen before obexapp
drops privileges as NetBSD uses LOCAL_CREDS so sdpd can't check the
credentials until the client does something.
3. slight tweak to the -A option for NetBSD (in patch-ad) as we have a
function to fetch the local device address.
4. use NetBSD-[4-9].*-* instead of checking for <bluetooth.h>
- obex mtu fixes (submitted by Alexander V. Ribchansky)
- obexapp now registers both opush and ftrn services
- obexapp now supports quotation (with backslash \) in file names
(with spaces etc.)
- other minor fixes

libmal than 0.43.
There is no functional difference between this version and the last.
0.73 - 12/05/2006
- Several fixes for the pilot-link 0.12 code. Thanks to John McCreesh and
Antoine Jacoutot for their help fixing and testing this.

- Added support for pilot-link 0.12.x
- Updated automake files
0.72.1 - 8/8/2003
- Fixed a bug that caused J-Pilot sync to abort with the cryptic error
message "ReadDBList returned = -1"
0.72 - 7/26/2003
- Upgraded malsync source to malsync 2.1.1
- Updated libmal.c to reflect changes in malsync
- Should now support color devices up to 8bpp (malsync does not yet support
color depths greater than 8bpp)
- Minor changes to malsync source; see the ChangeLog in the malsync
subdirectory for details
- Uses automake. Makefile.am submitted by Ludovic Rousseau
Version 0.43
- Several fixes to the last release.
- OpenBSD patches from Antoine Jacoutot
Version 0.42
- Misc fixes to malsync sources. See malsync/ChangeLog for details.
Version 0.41
- Added support for pilot-link 0.12.x
- Updated automake files
This is primarily a bugfix release, to patch issues that cropped up
with the new features introduced in version 2.0.14.
- #357602. Fix memory leak in the usbfs scanning code (with
thanks to Brian Warner)
- #362565. Add a 400ms pause between HAL detection of a USB
device and the first attempt to sync. Several
devices were reported to reset themselves if
communication was attempted too soon after the
first appearance of the USB device.
- #365181. Fix a long-standing bug that probably turned up
now because of the multiple attempts to add a new
pilot due to #362565. Avoid accessing freed memory
when the 'add pilot' dialog is opened multiple times.
New translation:
* ar: New arabic translation, with thanks to Djihed Afifi

pilot-link v0.12.1
There isn't much "new" in this release, just some rapid-fire bug fixes
reported from users and a lot of code has been cleaned up in the tree
to remove unnecessary includes.
* Code cleanup in libpisock, libpisync, src and include
* Fixed the installation faux pas with udev rules, oops!
pilot-link v0.12.0
pilot-link 0.12.0 "Trois ans" ("Three Years") is now official.
There have been so many changes in this release and I can't remember
them all, but here's the short list:
* Many of the userland binaries now have new names, to avoid some
potential namespace collisions (dlpsh is now pilot-dlpsh for example,
memos is now pilot-memos). If you use scripts which call these
applications, you may have to make minor changes to accomodate the
new naming scheme.
* Documentation is now in DocBook XML, and manpages are dynamically
generated from that source. Other docs are much more detailed, and
there are quite a few README files that have been added to help.
* Direct libusb support! This is one of the most monumental features in
0.12.0, and should help those who have trouble using the kernel's
visor driver in Linux with their device. Now you can get a healthy
300% to 600% speedup in sync times, depending on your Palm's
processor speed. See doc/README.libusb for details. Thanks go to
Zephania Hull for working out how to get native libusb working with
pilot-link.
* Native support for Mac OS X. You can now just download the tarball
and build it directly on Mac OS X machines, and it will just run.
Thanks go to Florent Pillet for his tireless work in getting this all
working efficiently and for squashing countless bugs in the libraries
along the way.
* So many other fixes, additions, features and new things to count.
Update Catalan translation (Jordi Sayol) and Hebrew translation
Correct failure to clear the list of permitted client addresses
for the socket interface after changing settings from the settings
dialog.
Hostname addresses permitted to connect to the socket server may
now be specified in numeric dot notation. Numeric dot notation
may also contain a trailing * as a wildcard.
Make memory management of the PrintManager class easier/safer for
the user.
Revise method for passing of arguments to threads.
Correct threading explanation for the program.
Correct format of efax-gtk man page.
Revise the 'mail_fax' script to refer to Heirloom mailx rather
than nail.
Update the copyright dates in the efax-gtk man file.
PkgSrc: do not depend on comms/efax, fixing PR#33788
INSTALLATION_DIRS, as well as all occurrences of ${PREFIX}/man with
${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
or USE_X11BASE set, but don't include mk/x11.buildlink3.mk directly or
via buildlink3.mks
- introduce BUILDLINK_PREFIX.libXpm as alias for BUILDLINK_PREFIX.xpm
in the !modular case
- fix some cases where the check for libX11 couldn't work at all by using
C++ for compilation without including the proper headers
Verified using a full X11_TYPE=xorg bulk build without additional
breakage. Discussed with salo@, wiz@ and send to packages@ for feedback.
