97 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools!

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

99 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

100 better.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
101
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
102 The changes are as follows:
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
103 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
104 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
105 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!"
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

113 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
114 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
115 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
116 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

carl
parents:

132
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
133 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
134 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
135 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
136 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
137 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
138 the log message was printed from.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
139
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
140 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
141 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
142 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
143
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
144 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
145 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

carl
parents:
diff changeset
153
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
154 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
155 in random, hard to find places!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
156
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
157 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
158 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
159 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

160 items)
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
161
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
162 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
163 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
164 bigger!)
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
165
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
166 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
167 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
168 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data,
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
169 and trying to make sense of it!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

179 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

233
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

234 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops..
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
235
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

236 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed
11

carl
parents: 3
diff changeset
237 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from
3
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
238 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
239 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
240 to use the libpst interface.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
241
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
242 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
243 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

252 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

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

268 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
269 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
270 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

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

275 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
276
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
277 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal

296 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

297 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the
11

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
300 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
301 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
302 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
303 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
304 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
305 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
306 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
307
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
308 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
309 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
310 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
311 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
312 duplicate names!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
313
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
314 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
315 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
316 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware!

diff changeset

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

parents:
diff changeset
386 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
387 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
388 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
389 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
390 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
391 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to
