annotate ChangeLog @ 60:97b7706bdda2

Work around bogus 7c.b5 blocks in some messages that have been read. They appear to have attachments, but of some unknown format. Before the message was read, it did not have any attachments. Use autoscan to cleanup our autoconf system. Use autoconf to detect when we need to use our XGetopt files and other header files. More fields, including BCC. Fix missing LE32_CPU byte swapping for FILETIME types.

226 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
227
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
228 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
229 better.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
230
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
231 The changes are as follows:
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
232 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
233 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
234 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!"
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
235 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
236 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
237 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

242 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
243 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

244 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

245 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

carl
parents:
diff changeset

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
262 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
263 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
264 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
265 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
266 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
267 the log message was printed from.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
268
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
269 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
270 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
271 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
272
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
273 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
274 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project

283 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves

286 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
287 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

288 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

291 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

292 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

293 bigger!)
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
294
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

295 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST

carl
parents:
diff changeset
296 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
297 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data,
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

298 and trying to make sense of it!

carl

345 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

347 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

363 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops..
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
364
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

365 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed

diff changeset
366 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from
3
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
367 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
368 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
369 to use the libpst interface.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
370
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
371 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
372 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

381 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

382 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

397 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
398 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

401 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
402 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
403 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
405
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

425 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
426 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
429 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
430 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
431 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
432 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
433 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
434 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
435 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
436
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
437 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
438 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
439 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
440 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
441 duplicate names!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
442
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
443 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
444 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
445 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware!

513 Hi Folks!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
514
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
515 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
516 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
517 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
518 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
519 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
520 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
521 achieve though.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
522
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
523 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
524
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
525 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
526 the following manner
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
527
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
528 ./main {path to PST file}
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
529
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
530 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
531 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
532 will never be converted to Linux.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
533
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
534 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
535 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
536 converting PST files into a variety of formats.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
537
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
538 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
539 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
540 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
541 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
542 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
543 and then convert the unencrypted one.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
544
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
545 I hope you enjoy,
