[Barry-devel] Barry version 0.4 (alpha) released

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

A new version of the main Barry source tree is now available as
barry-0.4.tar.gz in the file downloads section.

Important:
	This version uses the stable libusb library.  If you have been
	compiling previous versions of Barry with the devel libusb,
	you do not need that anymore.  Just install the normal libusb
	packages that come with your distribution, along with any
	-dev or -devel packages.

This version also uses autoconf, so the usual ./configure ; make ; make install
process applies.  Please report any problems you have, and send patches
if you can.  In any case, please send bug reports.

Enjoy,
- Chris



Barry version 0.4 Changelog:
----------------------------
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.

        - minor update to TODO

        - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch

        - 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

        - added library version number to autoconf build
        - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
