| 30 | 168 LibPST 0.5.4 (2006-02-25) |
| 169 =============================== | |
| 170 | |
| 171 * patches from Arne, adding MH mode, remove leading zeros | |
| 172 from the generated numbered filenames starting with one | |
| 173 rather than zero. Miscellaneous code cleanup. | |
| 174 | |
| 175 * document the "7c" descriptor block format. | |
| 176 | |

| 16 | 178 =============================== |
| 179 | |
| 24 | 180 * switch to gnu autoconf/automake. This breaks the MS VC++ projects |
| 181 since the source code is now in the src subdirectory. | |
| 182 | |
| 16 | 183 * documentation switched to xml, building man pages and html |
| 184 from the master xml copy. | |
| 185 | |
| 24 | 186 * include rpm .spec file for building src and binary rpms. |

189 LibPST 0.5.2 (2006-02-18) |
| 11 | 190 =============================== |
| 191 | |
| 192 * Added pst2ldif to convert the contacts to ldif format for import | |
| 193 into ldap databases. | |
| 194 | |
| 195 * Major changes to libpst.c to properly use the node depth values | |
| 196 from the b-tree nodes. We also use the item count values in the nodes | |
| 197 rather than trying to guess how many items are active. | |
| 198 | |
| 199 * Cleanup whitespace - using tabs for every four columns. | |
| 200 | |
| 201 | |
| 3 | 202 LibPST 0.5.1 (17 November 2004) |
| 203 =============================== | |
| 204 | |

| 214 get the latest code by running: | |
| 215 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/libpst/trunk . | |
| 216 * See | |
| 217 <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/libpst-devel/2004-November/000000.html> | |
| 218 for more information. | |
| 3 | 219 |
| 220 Code Changes: | |
| 221 | |
| 11 | 222 * Added lspst program to list items in a PST. Still incomplete. |
| 223 * Added vim folding markers to readpst.c | |
| 224 * avoid the pseudo-prologue that MS prepends to the email headers | |
| 225 * fix build on msvc, since it doesn't have sys/param.h | |
| 226 * Re-vamped Makefile: | |
| 227 * Only define CFLAGS in Makefileif missing | |
| 228 * fixed {un,}install targets in Makefile | |
| 229 * Fixed up build process in Makefile | |
| 230 * Added mozilla conversion script from David Binard | |
| 231 * Fixed bogus creation of readpst.log on every invocation | |
| 232 * escaped dashes and apostrophe in manpages | |
| 233 * Updated TODO | |
| 234 * added manpages from debian pkg | |
| 235 * fix escaped-string length count to consider '\n', | |
| 236 thanks to Paul Bakker <bakker@fox-it.com>. | |
| 237 * ensure there's a blank line between header and body | |
| 238 patch from <johnh@aproposretail.com> (SourceForge #890745). | |
| 239 * Apply accumulated endian-related patches | |

| 244 LibPST v0.5 | |
| 245 =========== | |
| 246 | |
| 247 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
| 248 | |
| 249 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
| 250 better. | |
| 251 | |
| 252 The changes are as follows: | |
| 253 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
| 254 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
| 255 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
| 256 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
| 257 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
| 258 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
| 259 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
| 260 | |
| 261 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
| 262 | |
| 263 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
| 264 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
| 265 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
| 266 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
| 267 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

| 272 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
| 273 ============= | |
| 274 | |
| 275 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
| 276 | |
| 277 Dave Smith | |
| 278 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 279 | |
| 280 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
| 281 ============= | |
| 282 | |
| 283 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
| 284 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
| 285 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
| 286 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
| 287 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
| 288 the log message was printed from. | |
| 289 | |
| 290 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
| 291 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
| 292 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
| 293 | |
| 294 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
| 295 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
| 296 file included in this distribution. | |
| 297 | |
| 298 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
| 299 | |
| 300 | |
| 301 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
| 302 ============= | |
| 303 | |
| 304 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
| 305 in random, hard to find places! | |
| 306 | |
| 307 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
| 308 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
| 309 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
| 310 items) | |
| 311 | |
| 312 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
| 313 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
| 314 bigger!) | |
| 315 | |
| 316 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
| 317 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
| 318 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
| 319 and trying to make sense of it! | |
| 320 | |
| 321 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
| 322 | |
| 323 Dave Smith | |
| 324 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 325 | |
| 326 LibPST v0.4 | |
| 327 =========== | |
| 328 | |
| 329 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
| 330 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
| 331 | |
| 332 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
| 333 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
| 334 | |
| 335 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
| 11 | 336 | 000001 |
| 337 | 000002 | |
| 3 | 338 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
| 11 | 339 | 0000001 |
| 340 | 0000002 | |
| 3 | 341 |
| 342 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
| 343 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
| 344 | |
| 345 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
| 346 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
| 347 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
| 348 | |
| 349 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
| 350 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
| 351 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
| 352 | |
| 353 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
| 354 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
| 355 been resolved. | |
| 356 | |
| 357 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
| 358 | |
| 359 Dave Smith | |
| 360 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 361 | |
| 362 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
| 363 ============= | |
| 364 | |
| 365 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
| 366 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
| 367 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
| 368 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
| 369 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
| 370 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
| 371 | |
| 372 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
| 373 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
| 374 | |
| 375 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
| 376 bugfix release. | |
| 377 | |
| 378 Dave Smith | |
| 379 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 380 | |
| 381 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
| 382 ============= | |
| 383 | |
| 384 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
| 385 | |
| 386 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
| 11 | 387 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
| 3 | 388 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
| 389 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
| 390 to use the libpst interface. | |
| 391 | |
| 392 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
| 393 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
| 394 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
| 395 | |
| 396 Dave Smith | |
| 397 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 398 | |
| 399 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
| 400 ============= | |
| 401 | |
| 402 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
| 403 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
| 404 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
| 405 | |
| 406 | |
| 407 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
| 408 ============= | |
| 409 | |
| 410 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
| 411 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
| 412 them. | |
| 413 | |
| 414 | |
| 415 LibPST v0.3 | |
| 416 =========== | |
| 417 | |
| 418 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
| 419 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
| 420 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
| 421 | |
| 422 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
| 423 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
| 424 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
| 425 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
| 426 | |
| 427 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
| 428 directories. For Instance: | |
| 429 | |
| 430 Personal Folders | |
| 431 |-Inbox | |
| 432 | |-Jokes | |
| 433 | |-Meetings | |
| 434 |-Send Items | |
| 435 | |
| 436 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
| 437 folder. | |

| 442 | |
| 443 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
| 444 ================= | |
| 445 | |
| 446 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
| 447 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
| 11 | 448 attachments that were created disappear. |
| 3 | 449 |
| 450 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
| 451 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
| 452 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
| 453 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
| 454 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
| 455 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
| 456 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
| 457 | |
| 458 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
| 459 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
| 460 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
| 461 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
| 462 duplicate names! | |
| 463 | |
| 464 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
| 465 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
| 466 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
| 467 | |
| 468 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
| 469 | |
| 470 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
| 471 information and testing. | |

| 477 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
| 478 ================= | |
| 479 | |
| 480 Hello once more... | |
| 481 | |
| 482 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
| 483 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
| 484 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
| 485 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
| 486 converted. Cheers. | |
| 487 | |
| 488 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
| 489 can be very different! | |
| 490 | |
| 491 Let us see how it goes... | |
| 492 | |

| 495 | |
| 496 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
| 497 =========== | |
| 498 | |
| 499 Hello! | |
| 500 | |
| 501 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
| 502 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
| 503 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
| 504 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
| 505 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
| 506 | |
| 11 | 507 Improvements over previous version: |
| 3 | 508 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
| 509 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
| 510 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
| 511 | |
| 512 | |
| 513 Usage: | |
| 514 | |
| 515 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
| 516 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
| 517 OPTIONS: | |
| 518 -h - Help. This screen | |
| 519 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
| 520 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
| 521 -V - Version. Display program version | |
| 522 | |
| 523 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
| 524 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
| 525 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
| 526 | |
| 527 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
| 528 | |
| 529 Dave Smith | |

| 531 LibPST v0.1 | |
| 532 =========== | |
| 533 | |
| 534 Hi Folks! | |
| 535 | |
| 536 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
| 537 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
| 538 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
| 539 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
| 540 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
| 541 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
| 542 achieve though. | |
| 543 | |
| 544 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
| 545 | |
| 546 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
| 547 the following manner | |
| 548 | |
| 549 ./main {path to PST file} | |
| 550 | |
| 551 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
| 552 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
| 553 will never be converted to Linux. | |
| 554 | |
| 555 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
| 556 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
| 557 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
| 558 | |
| 559 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
| 560 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
| 561 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
| 562 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
| 563 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
| 564 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
| 565 | |
| 566 I hope you enjoy, | |
| 567 | |
| 568 Dave Smith | |
