| 2 =============================== | |
| 3 | |
| 4 * fix from Stevens Miller <smiller@novadatalabs.com> | |
| 5 for unitialized variable. | |
| 6 | |
| 39 | 7 LibPST 0.5.10 (2007-08-20) |
| 8 =============================== | |
| 9 | |
| 10 * fix yet more valgrind errors - finally have a clean memory check. | |
| 11 * restructure readpst.c for proper recursive tree walk. | |
| 12 * buffer overrun test was backwards, introduced at 0.5.6 | |
| 13 * fix broken email attachments, introduced at 0.5.6 | |
| 14 | |
| 38 | 15 LibPST 0.5.9 (2007-08-12) |
| 16 =============================== | |
| 17 | |
| 18 * fix more valgrind errors. | |
| 19 | |
| 37 | 20 LibPST 0.5.8 (2007-08-10) |
| 21 =============================== | |
| 22 | |
| 23 * fix more valgrind errors. lzfu_decompress needs to return the | |
| 24 actual buffer size, since the lz header overestimates the size. | |
| 25 This caused base64_encode to encode undefined bytes into the | |
| 26 email attachment. | |
| 27 | |
| 36 | 28 LibPST 0.5.7 (2007-08-09) |
| 29 =============================== | |
| 30 | |
| 31 * fix valgrind errors, using uninitialized data. | |
| 32 * improve debug logging and readpstlog for indented listings. | |
| 33 * cleanup documentation. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 | 35 LibPST 0.5.6 (2007-07-15) |

| 62 =============================== | |
| 63 | |
| 64 * patches from Arne, adding MH mode, remove leading zeros | |
| 65 from the generated numbered filenames starting with one | |
| 66 rather than zero. Miscellaneous code cleanup. | |

| 84 | |
| 85 * Added pst2ldif to convert the contacts to ldif format for import | |
| 86 into ldap databases. | |
| 87 | |
| 88 * Major changes to libpst.c to properly use the node depth values | |
| 89 from the b-tree nodes. We also use the item count values in the nodes | |
| 90 rather than trying to guess how many items are active. | |
| 91 | |
| 92 * Cleanup whitespace - using tabs for every four columns. | |

| 3 | 95 LibPST 0.5.1 (17 November 2004) |
| 96 =============================== | |
| 97 | |

| 137 LibPST v0.5 | |
| 138 =========== | |
| 139 | |
| 140 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
| 141 | |
| 142 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
| 143 better. | |
| 144 | |
| 145 The changes are as follows: | |
| 146 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
| 147 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
| 148 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
| 149 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
| 150 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
| 151 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
| 152 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
| 153 | |
| 154 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
| 155 | |
| 156 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
| 157 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
| 158 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
| 159 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
| 160 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |
| 161 | |

| 164 | |
| 165 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
| 166 ============= | |
| 167 | |
| 168 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
| 169 | |
| 170 Dave Smith | |
| 171 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 172 | |
| 173 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
| 174 ============= | |
| 175 | |
| 176 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
| 177 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
| 178 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
| 179 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
| 180 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
| 181 the log message was printed from. | |
| 182 | |
| 183 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
| 184 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
| 185 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
| 186 | |
| 187 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
| 188 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
| 189 file included in this distribution. | |
| 190 | |
| 191 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
| 192 | |
| 193 | |
| 194 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
| 195 ============= | |
| 196 | |
| 197 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
| 198 in random, hard to find places! | |
| 199 | |
| 200 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
| 201 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
| 202 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
| 203 items) | |
| 204 | |
| 205 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
| 206 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
| 207 bigger!) | |
| 208 | |
| 209 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
| 210 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
| 211 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
| 212 and trying to make sense of it! | |
| 213 | |
| 214 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
| 215 | |
| 216 Dave Smith | |
| 217 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 218 | |
| 219 LibPST v0.4 | |
| 220 =========== | |
| 221 | |
| 222 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
| 223 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
| 224 | |
| 225 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
| 226 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
| 227 | |
| 228 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
| 11 | 229 | 000001 |
| 230 | 000002 | |
| 3 | 231 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
| 11 | 232 | 0000001 |
| 233 | 0000002 | |
| 3 | 234 |
| 235 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
| 236 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
| 237 | |
| 238 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
| 239 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
| 240 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
| 241 | |
| 242 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
| 243 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
| 244 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
| 245 | |
| 246 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
| 247 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
| 248 been resolved. | |
| 249 | |
| 250 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
| 251 | |
| 252 Dave Smith | |
| 253 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 254 | |
| 255 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
| 256 ============= | |
| 257 | |
| 258 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
| 259 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
| 260 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
| 261 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
| 262 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
| 263 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
| 264 | |
| 265 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
| 266 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
| 267 | |
| 268 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
| 269 bugfix release. | |
| 270 | |
| 271 Dave Smith | |
| 272 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 273 | |
| 274 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
| 275 ============= | |
| 276 | |
| 277 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
| 278 | |
| 279 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
| 11 | 280 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
| 3 | 281 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
| 282 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
| 283 to use the libpst interface. | |
| 284 | |
| 285 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
| 286 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
| 287 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
| 288 | |
| 289 Dave Smith | |
| 290 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 291 | |
| 292 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
| 293 ============= | |
| 294 | |
| 295 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
| 296 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
| 297 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
| 298 | |
| 299 | |
| 300 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
| 301 ============= | |
| 302 | |
| 303 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
| 304 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
| 305 them. | |
| 306 | |
| 307 | |
| 308 LibPST v0.3 | |
| 309 =========== | |
| 310 | |
| 311 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
| 312 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
| 313 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
| 314 | |
| 315 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
| 316 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
| 317 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
| 318 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
| 319 | |
| 320 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
| 321 directories. For Instance: | |
| 322 | |
| 323 Personal Folders | |
| 324 |-Inbox | |
| 325 | |-Jokes | |
| 326 | |-Meetings | |
| 327 |-Send Items | |
| 328 | |
| 329 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
| 330 folder. | |

| 335 | |
| 336 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
| 337 ================= | |
| 338 | |
| 339 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
| 340 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
| 11 | 341 attachments that were created disappear. |
| 3 | 342 |
| 343 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
| 344 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
| 345 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
| 346 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
| 347 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
| 348 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
| 349 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
| 350 | |
| 351 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
| 352 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
| 353 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
| 354 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
| 355 duplicate names! | |
| 356 | |
| 357 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
| 358 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
| 359 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
| 360 | |
| 361 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
| 362 | |
| 363 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
| 364 information and testing. | |

| 370 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
| 371 ================= | |
| 372 | |
| 373 Hello once more... | |
| 374 | |
| 375 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
| 376 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
| 377 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
| 378 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
| 379 converted. Cheers. | |
| 380 | |
| 381 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
| 382 can be very different! | |
| 383 | |
| 384 Let us see how it goes... | |
| 385 | |

| 388 | |
| 389 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
| 390 =========== | |
| 391 | |
| 392 Hello! | |
| 393 | |
| 394 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
| 395 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
| 396 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
| 397 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
| 398 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
| 399 | |
| 11 | 400 Improvements over previous version: |
| 3 | 401 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
| 402 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
| 403 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
| 404 | |
| 405 | |
| 406 Usage: | |
| 407 | |
| 408 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
| 409 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
| 410 OPTIONS: | |
| 411 -h - Help. This screen | |
| 412 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
| 413 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
| 414 -V - Version. Display program version | |
| 415 | |
| 416 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
| 417 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
| 418 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
| 419 | |
| 420 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
| 421 | |

| 425 =========== | |
| 426 | |
| 427 Hi Folks! | |

| 429 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
| 430 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
| 431 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
| 432 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
| 433 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
| 434 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
| 435 achieve though. | |
| 436 | |
| 437 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
| 438 | |
| 439 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
| 440 the following manner | |
| 441 | |
| 442 ./main {path to PST file} | |
| 443 | |
| 444 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
| 445 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
| 446 will never be converted to Linux. | |
| 447 | |
| 448 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
| 449 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
| 450 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
| 451 | |
| 452 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
| 453 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
| 454 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
| 455 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
| 456 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
| 457 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
| 458 | |
| 459 I hope you enjoy, | |
