| 154 four byte values may be ID2 indices with data outside the buffer. | |
| 155 * Start using doxygen to generate internal documentation. | |

| 209 =============================== | |
| 210 | |

| 217 to this point. From this point forward we will be using | |
| 218 alioth.debian.org. | |
| 219 * The project is now using SubVersioN for source control. You can | |
| 220 get the latest code by running: | |
| 221 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/libpst/trunk . | |
| 222 * See | |
| 223 <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/libpst-devel/2004-November/000000.html> | |
| 224 for more information. | |
| 3 | 225 |
| 226 Code Changes: | |
| 227 | |
| 11 | 228 * Added lspst program to list items in a PST. Still incomplete. |
| 229 * Added vim folding markers to readpst.c | |

| 231 * fix build on msvc, since it doesn't have sys/param.h | |
| 232 * Re-vamped Makefile: | |
| 233 * Only define CFLAGS in Makefileif missing | |
| 234 * fixed {un,}install targets in Makefile | |
| 235 * Fixed up build process in Makefile | |

| 250 LibPST v0.5 | |
| 251 =========== | |
| 252 | |
| 253 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
| 254 | |
| 255 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
| 256 better. | |
| 257 | |
| 258 The changes are as follows: | |
| 259 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
| 260 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
| 261 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
| 262 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
| 263 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
| 264 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
| 265 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
| 266 | |
| 267 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
| 268 | |
| 269 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
| 270 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
| 271 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
| 272 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
| 273 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

| 277 | |
| 278 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
| 279 ============= | |
| 280 | |
| 281 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
| 282 | |
| 283 Dave Smith | |
| 284 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 285 | |
| 286 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
| 287 ============= | |
| 288 | |
| 289 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
| 290 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
| 291 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
| 292 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
| 293 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
| 294 the log message was printed from. | |
| 295 | |
| 296 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
| 297 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
| 298 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
| 299 | |
| 300 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
| 301 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
| 302 file included in this distribution. | |
| 303 | |
| 304 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
| 305 | |
| 306 | |
| 307 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
| 308 ============= | |
| 309 | |
| 310 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
| 311 in random, hard to find places! | |
| 312 | |
| 313 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
| 314 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
| 315 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
| 316 items) | |
| 317 | |
| 318 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
| 319 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
| 320 bigger!) | |
| 321 | |
| 322 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
| 323 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
| 324 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
| 325 and trying to make sense of it! | |
| 326 | |
| 327 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
| 328 | |
| 329 Dave Smith | |
| 330 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 331 | |
| 332 LibPST v0.4 | |
| 333 =========== | |
| 334 | |
| 335 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
| 336 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
| 337 | |
| 338 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
| 339 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
| 340 | |
| 341 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
| 11 | 342 | 000001 |
| 343 | 000002 | |
| 3 | 344 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
| 11 | 345 | 0000001 |
| 346 | 0000002 | |
| 3 | 347 |
| 348 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
| 349 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
| 350 | |
| 351 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
| 352 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
| 353 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
| 354 | |
| 355 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
| 356 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
| 357 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
| 358 | |
| 359 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
| 360 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
| 361 been resolved. | |
| 362 | |
| 363 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
| 364 | |
| 365 Dave Smith | |
| 366 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 367 | |
| 368 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
| 369 ============= | |
| 370 | |
| 371 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
| 372 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
| 373 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
| 374 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
| 375 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
| 376 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
| 377 | |
| 378 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
| 379 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
| 380 | |
| 381 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
| 382 bugfix release. | |
| 383 | |
| 384 Dave Smith | |
| 385 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 386 | |
| 387 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
| 388 ============= | |
| 389 | |
| 390 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
| 391 | |
| 392 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
| 11 | 393 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
| 3 | 394 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
| 395 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
| 396 to use the libpst interface. | |
| 397 | |
| 398 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
| 399 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
| 400 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
| 401 | |
| 402 Dave Smith | |
| 403 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 404 | |
| 405 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
| 406 ============= | |
| 407 | |
| 408 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
| 409 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
| 410 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
| 411 | |
| 412 | |
| 413 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
| 414 ============= | |
| 415 | |
| 416 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
| 417 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
| 418 them. | |
| 419 | |
| 420 | |
| 421 LibPST v0.3 | |
| 422 =========== | |
| 423 | |
| 424 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
| 425 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
| 426 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
| 427 | |
| 428 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
| 429 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
| 430 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
| 431 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
| 432 | |
| 433 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
| 434 directories. For Instance: | |
| 435 | |
| 436 Personal Folders | |
| 437 |-Inbox | |
| 438 | |-Jokes | |
| 439 | |-Meetings | |
| 440 |-Send Items | |
| 441 | |
| 442 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
| 443 folder. | |

| 448 | |
| 449 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
| 450 ================= | |
| 451 | |
| 452 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
| 453 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
| 11 | 454 attachments that were created disappear. |
| 3 | 455 |
| 456 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
| 457 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
| 458 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
| 459 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
| 460 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
| 461 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
| 462 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
| 463 | |
| 464 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
| 465 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
| 466 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
| 467 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
| 468 duplicate names! | |
| 469 | |
| 470 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
| 471 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
| 472 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
| 473 | |
| 474 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
| 475 | |
| 476 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
| 477 information and testing. | |

| 483 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
| 484 ================= | |
| 485 | |
| 486 Hello once more... | |
| 487 | |
| 488 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
| 489 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
| 490 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
| 491 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
| 492 converted. Cheers. | |
| 493 | |
| 494 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
| 495 can be very different! | |
| 496 | |
| 497 Let us see how it goes... | |
| 498 | |

| 502 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
| 503 =========== | |
| 504 | |
| 505 Hello! | |
| 506 | |
| 507 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
| 508 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
| 509 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
| 510 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
| 511 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
| 512 | |
| 11 | 513 Improvements over previous version: |
| 3 | 514 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
| 515 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
| 516 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
| 517 | |
| 518 | |
| 519 Usage: | |
| 520 | |
| 521 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
| 522 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
| 523 OPTIONS: | |
| 524 -h - Help. This screen | |
| 525 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
| 526 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
| 527 -V - Version. Display program version | |
| 528 | |
| 529 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
| 530 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
| 531 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
| 532 | |
| 533 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
| 534 | |

| 537 LibPST v0.1 | |
| 538 =========== | |
| 539 | |
| 540 Hi Folks! | |
| 541 | |
| 542 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
| 543 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
| 544 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
| 545 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
| 546 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
| 547 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
| 548 achieve though. | |
| 549 | |
| 550 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
| 551 | |
| 552 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
| 553 the following manner | |
| 554 | |
| 555 ./main {path to PST file} | |
| 556 | |
| 557 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
| 558 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
| 559 will never be converted to Linux. | |
| 560 | |
| 561 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
| 562 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
| 563 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
| 564 | |
| 565 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
| 566 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
| 567 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
| 568 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
| 569 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
| 570 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
| 571 | |
| 572 I hope you enjoy, | |
| 573 | |
| 574 Dave Smith | |
