180 LibPST 0.5.2 (2006-02-18) |
| 11 | 181 =============================== |
| 182 | |
| 183 * Added pst2ldif to convert the contacts to ldif format for import | |
| 184 into ldap databases. | |
| 185 | |
| 186 * Major changes to libpst.c to properly use the node depth values | |
| 187 from the b-tree nodes. We also use the item count values in the nodes | |
| 188 rather than trying to guess how many items are active. | |
| 189 | |
| 190 * Cleanup whitespace - using tabs for every four columns. | |
| 191 | |
| 192 | |
| 3 | 193 LibPST 0.5.1 (17 November 2004) |
| 194 =============================== | |

| 235 LibPST v0.5 | |
| 236 =========== | |
| 237 | |
| 238 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
| 239 | |
| 240 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
| 241 better. | |
| 242 | |
| 243 The changes are as follows: | |
| 244 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
| 245 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
| 246 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
| 247 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
| 248 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
| 249 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
| 250 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
| 251 | |
| 252 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
| 253 | |
| 254 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
| 255 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
| 256 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
| 257 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
| 258 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

| 262 | |
| 263 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
| 264 ============= | |
| 265 | |
| 266 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
| 267 | |
| 268 Dave Smith | |
| 269 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 270 | |
| 271 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
| 272 ============= | |
| 273 | |
| 274 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
| 275 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
| 276 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
| 277 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
| 278 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
| 279 the log message was printed from. | |
| 280 | |
| 281 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
| 282 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
| 283 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
| 284 | |
| 285 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
| 286 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
| 287 file included in this distribution. | |
| 288 | |
| 289 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
| 290 | |
| 291 | |
| 292 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
| 293 ============= | |
| 294 | |
| 295 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
| 296 in random, hard to find places! | |
| 297 | |
| 298 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
| 299 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
| 300 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
| 301 items) | |
| 302 | |
| 303 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
| 304 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
| 305 bigger!) | |
| 306 | |
| 307 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
| 308 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
| 309 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
| 310 and trying to make sense of it! | |
| 311 | |
| 312 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
| 313 | |

| 316 | |
| 317 LibPST v0.4 | |
| 318 =========== | |
| 319 | |
| 320 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
| 321 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
| 322 | |
| 323 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
| 324 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
| 325 | |
| 326 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
| 11 | 327 | 000001 |
| 328 | 000002 | |
| 3 | 329 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
| 11 | 330 | 0000001 |
| 331 | 0000002 | |
| 3 | 332 |
| 333 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
| 334 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
| 335 | |
| 336 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
| 337 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
| 338 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
| 339 | |
| 340 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
| 341 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
| 342 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
| 343 | |
| 344 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
| 345 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
| 346 been resolved. | |
| 347 | |
| 348 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
| 349 | |
| 350 Dave Smith | |
| 351 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 352 | |
| 353 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
| 354 ============= | |
| 355 | |
| 356 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
| 357 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
| 358 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
| 359 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
| 360 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
| 361 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
| 362 | |
| 363 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
| 364 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
| 365 | |
| 366 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
| 367 bugfix release. | |
| 368 | |
| 369 Dave Smith | |
| 370 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 371 | |
| 372 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
| 373 ============= | |
| 374 | |
| 375 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
| 376 | |
| 377 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
| 11 | 378 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
| 3 | 379 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
| 380 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
| 381 to use the libpst interface. | |
| 382 | |
| 383 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
| 384 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
| 385 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
| 386 | |
| 387 Dave Smith | |
| 388 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 389 | |
| 390 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
| 391 ============= | |
| 392 | |
| 393 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
| 394 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
| 395 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
| 396 | |
| 397 | |
| 398 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
| 399 ============= | |
| 400 | |
| 401 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
| 402 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
| 403 them. | |
| 404 | |
| 405 | |
| 406 LibPST v0.3 | |
| 407 =========== | |
| 408 | |
| 409 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
| 410 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
| 411 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
| 412 | |
| 413 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
| 414 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
| 415 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
| 416 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
| 417 | |
| 418 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
| 419 directories. For Instance: | |
| 420 | |
| 421 Personal Folders | |
| 422 |-Inbox | |
| 423 | |-Jokes | |
| 424 | |-Meetings | |
| 425 |-Send Items | |
| 426 | |
| 427 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
| 428 folder. | |

| 433 | |
| 434 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
| 435 ================= | |
| 436 | |
| 437 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
| 438 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
| 11 | 439 attachments that were created disappear. |
| 3 | 440 |
| 441 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
| 442 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
| 443 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
| 444 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
| 445 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
| 446 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
| 447 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
| 448 | |
| 449 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
| 450 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
| 451 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
| 452 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
| 453 duplicate names! | |
| 454 | |
| 455 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
| 456 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
| 457 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
| 458 | |
| 459 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
| 460 | |
| 461 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
| 462 information and testing. | |

| 468 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
| 469 ================= | |
| 470 | |
| 471 Hello once more... | |
| 472 | |
| 473 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
| 474 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
| 475 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
| 476 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
| 477 converted. Cheers. | |
| 478 | |
| 479 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
| 480 can be very different! | |
| 481 | |
| 482 Let us see how it goes... | |
| 483 | |

| 486 | |
| 487 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
| 488 =========== | |
| 489 | |
| 490 Hello! | |
| 491 | |
| 492 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
| 493 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
| 494 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
| 495 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
| 496 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
| 497 | |
| 11 | 498 Improvements over previous version: |
| 3 | 499 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
| 500 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
| 501 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
| 502 | |
| 503 | |
| 504 Usage: | |
| 505 | |
| 506 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
| 507 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
| 508 OPTIONS: | |
| 509 -h - Help. This screen | |
| 510 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
| 511 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
| 512 -V - Version. Display program version | |
| 513 | |
| 514 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
| 515 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
| 516 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
| 517 | |
| 518 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
| 519 | |

| 522 LibPST v0.1 | |
| 523 =========== | |
| 524 | |
| 525 Hi Folks! | |
| 526 | |
| 527 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
| 528 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
| 529 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
| 530 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
| 531 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
| 532 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
| 533 achieve though. | |
| 534 | |
| 535 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
| 536 | |
| 537 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
| 538 the following manner | |
| 539 | |
| 540 ./main {path to PST file} | |
| 541 | |
| 542 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
| 543 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
| 544 will never be converted to Linux. | |
| 545 | |
| 546 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
| 547 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
| 548 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
| 549 | |
| 550 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
| 551 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
| 552 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
| 553 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
| 554 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
| 555 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
| 556 | |
| 557 I hope you enjoy, | |
| 558 | |
| 559 Dave Smith | |
