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. | |

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 | |

315 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
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 | |
484 Dave Smith | |
485 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
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 | |
