180 =============================== | |
181 | |
182 * patches from Arne, adding MH mode, remove leading zeros | |
183 from the generated numbered filenames starting with one | |
184 rather than zero. Miscellaneous code cleanup. | |

204 into ldap databases. | |
205 | |
206 * Major changes to libpst.c to properly use the node depth values | |
207 from the b-tree nodes. We also use the item count values in the nodes | |
208 rather than trying to guess how many items are active. | |
209 | |

255 LibPST v0.5 | |
256 =========== | |
257 | |
258 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
259 | |
260 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
261 better. | |
262 | |
263 The changes are as follows: | |
264 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
265 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
266 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
267 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
268 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
269 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
270 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
271 | |
272 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
273 | |
274 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
275 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
276 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
277 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
278 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

282 | |
283 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
284 ============= | |
285 | |
286 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
287 | |
288 Dave Smith | |
289 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
290 | |
291 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
292 ============= | |
293 | |
294 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
295 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
296 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
297 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
298 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
299 the log message was printed from. | |
300 | |
301 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
302 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
303 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
304 | |
305 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
306 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
307 file included in this distribution. | |
308 | |
309 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
310 | |
311 | |
312 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
313 ============= | |
314 | |
315 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
316 in random, hard to find places! | |
317 | |
318 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
319 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
320 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
321 items) | |
322 | |
323 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
324 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
325 bigger!) | |
326 | |
327 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
328 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
329 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
330 and trying to make sense of it! | |
331 | |
332 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
333 | |
334 Dave Smith | |
335 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
336 | |
337 LibPST v0.4 | |
338 =========== | |
339 | |
340 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
341 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
342 | |
343 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
344 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
345 | |
346 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
11 | 347 | 000001 |
348 | 000002 | |
3 | 349 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
11 | 350 | 0000001 |
351 | 0000002 | |
3 | 352 |
353 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
354 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
355 | |
356 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
357 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
358 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
359 | |
360 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
361 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
362 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
363 | |
364 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
365 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
366 been resolved. | |
367 | |
368 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
369 | |
370 Dave Smith | |
371 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
372 | |
373 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
374 ============= | |
375 | |
376 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
377 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
378 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
379 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
380 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
381 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
382 | |
383 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
384 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
385 | |
386 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
387 bugfix release. | |
388 | |
389 Dave Smith | |
390 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
391 | |
392 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
393 ============= | |
394 | |
395 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
396 | |
397 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
11 | 398 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
3 | 399 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
400 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
401 to use the libpst interface. | |
402 | |
403 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
404 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
405 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
406 | |
407 Dave Smith | |
408 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
409 | |
410 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
411 ============= | |
412 | |
413 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
414 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
415 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
416 | |
417 | |
418 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
419 ============= | |
420 | |
421 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
422 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
423 them. | |
424 | |
425 | |
426 LibPST v0.3 | |
427 =========== | |
428 | |
429 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
430 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
431 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
432 | |
433 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
434 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
435 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
436 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
437 | |
438 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
439 directories. For Instance: | |
440 | |
441 Personal Folders | |
442 |-Inbox | |
443 | |-Jokes | |
444 | |-Meetings | |
445 |-Send Items | |
446 | |
447 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
448 folder. | |

452 | |
453 | |
454 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
455 ================= | |
456 | |
457 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
458 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
11 | 459 attachments that were created disappear. |
3 | 460 |
461 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
462 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
463 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
464 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
465 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
466 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
467 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
468 | |
469 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
470 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
471 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
472 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
473 duplicate names! | |
474 | |
475 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
476 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
477 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
478 | |
479 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
480 | |
481 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
482 information and testing. | |

488 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
489 ================= | |
490 | |
491 Hello once more... | |
492 | |
493 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
494 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
495 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
496 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
497 converted. Cheers. | |
498 | |
499 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
500 can be very different! | |
501 | |
502 Let us see how it goes... | |

504 Dave Smith | |
505 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
506 | |
507 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
508 =========== | |
509 | |
510 Hello! | |
511 | |
512 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
513 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
514 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
515 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
516 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
517 | |
11 | 518 Improvements over previous version: |
3 | 519 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
520 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
521 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
522 | |
523 | |
524 Usage: | |
525 | |
526 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
527 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
528 OPTIONS: | |
529 -h - Help. This screen | |
530 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
531 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
532 -V - Version. Display program version | |
533 | |
534 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
535 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
536 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
537 | |
538 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
539 | |
540 Dave Smith | |

542 LibPST v0.1 | |
543 =========== | |
544 | |
545 Hi Folks! | |
546 | |
547 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
548 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
549 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
550 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
551 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
552 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
553 achieve though. | |
554 | |
555 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
556 | |
557 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
558 the following manner | |
559 | |
560 ./main {path to PST file} | |
561 | |
562 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
563 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
564 will never be converted to Linux. | |
565 | |
566 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
567 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
568 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
569 | |
570 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
571 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
572 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
573 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
574 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
575 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
576 | |
577 I hope you enjoy, | |
578 | |
579 Dave Smith | |
