| 188 Well, alot has happened since the last release of libpst. | |

| 11 | 192 * The project has forked! The new maintainer is Joseph Nahmias. |
| 193 * We have changed hosting sites, thanks to sourceforge for hosting | |
| 194 to this point. From this point forward we will be using | |
| 195 alioth.debian.org. | |
| 196 * The project is now using SubVersioN for source control. You can | |
| 197 get the latest code by running: | |
| 198 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/libpst/trunk . | |
| 199 * See | |
| 200 <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/libpst-devel/2004-November/000000.html> | |
| 201 for more information. | |
| 3 | 202 |
| 203 Code Changes: | |
| 204 | |
| 11 | 205 * Added lspst program to list items in a PST. Still incomplete. |
| 206 * Added vim folding markers to readpst.c | |
| 207 * avoid the pseudo-prologue that MS prepends to the email headers | |
| 208 * fix build on msvc, since it doesn't have sys/param.h | |
| 209 * Re-vamped Makefile: | |
| 210 * Only define CFLAGS in Makefileif missing | |
| 211 * fixed {un,}install targets in Makefile | |
| 212 * Fixed up build process in Makefile | |

| 227 LibPST v0.5 | |
| 228 =========== | |
| 229 | |
| 230 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
| 231 | |
| 232 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
| 233 better. | |
| 234 | |
| 235 The changes are as follows: | |
| 236 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
| 237 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
| 238 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
| 239 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
| 240 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
| 241 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
| 242 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
| 243 | |
| 244 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
| 245 | |
| 246 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
| 247 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
| 248 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
| 249 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
| 250 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

| 255 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
| 256 ============= | |
| 257 | |
| 258 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
| 259 | |
| 260 Dave Smith | |
| 261 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 262 | |
| 263 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
| 264 ============= | |
| 265 | |
| 266 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
| 267 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
| 268 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
| 269 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
| 270 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
| 271 the log message was printed from. | |
| 272 | |
| 273 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
| 274 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
| 275 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
| 276 | |
| 277 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
| 278 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
| 279 file included in this distribution. | |
| 280 | |
| 281 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
| 282 | |
| 283 | |
| 284 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
| 285 ============= | |
| 286 | |
| 287 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
| 288 in random, hard to find places! | |
| 289 | |
| 290 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
| 291 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
| 292 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
| 293 items) | |
| 294 | |
| 295 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
| 296 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
| 297 bigger!) | |
| 298 | |
| 299 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
| 300 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
| 301 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
| 302 and trying to make sense of it! | |
| 303 | |
| 304 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
| 305 | |

| 308 | |
| 309 LibPST v0.4 | |
| 310 =========== | |
| 311 | |
| 312 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
| 313 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
| 314 | |
| 315 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
| 316 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
| 317 | |
| 318 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
| 11 | 319 | 000001 |
| 320 | 000002 | |
| 3 | 321 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
| 11 | 322 | 0000001 |
| 323 | 0000002 | |
| 3 | 324 |
| 325 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
| 326 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
| 327 | |
| 328 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
| 329 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
| 330 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
| 331 | |
| 332 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
| 333 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
| 334 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
| 335 | |
| 336 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
| 337 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
| 338 been resolved. | |
| 339 | |
| 340 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
| 341 | |

| 344 | |
| 345 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
| 346 ============= | |
| 347 | |
| 348 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
| 349 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
| 350 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
| 351 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
| 352 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
| 353 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
| 354 | |
| 355 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
| 356 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
| 357 | |
| 358 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
| 359 bugfix release. | |
| 360 | |
| 361 Dave Smith | |
| 362 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 363 | |
| 364 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
| 365 ============= | |
| 366 | |
| 367 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
| 368 | |
| 369 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
| 11 | 370 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
| 3 | 371 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
| 372 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
| 373 to use the libpst interface. | |
| 374 | |
| 375 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
| 376 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
| 377 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
| 378 | |
| 379 Dave Smith | |
| 380 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 381 | |
| 382 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
| 383 ============= | |
| 384 | |
| 385 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
| 386 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
| 387 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
| 388 | |
| 389 | |
| 390 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
| 391 ============= | |
| 392 | |
| 393 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
| 394 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
| 395 them. | |
| 396 | |
| 397 | |
| 398 LibPST v0.3 | |
| 399 =========== | |
| 400 | |
| 401 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
| 402 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
| 403 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
| 404 | |
| 405 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
| 406 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
| 407 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
| 408 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
| 409 | |
| 410 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
| 411 directories. For Instance: | |
| 412 | |
| 413 Personal Folders | |
| 414 |-Inbox | |
| 415 | |-Jokes | |
| 416 | |-Meetings | |
| 417 |-Send Items | |
| 418 | |
| 419 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
| 420 folder. | |

| 425 | |
| 426 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
| 427 ================= | |
| 428 | |
| 429 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
| 430 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
| 11 | 431 attachments that were created disappear. |
| 3 | 432 |
| 433 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
| 434 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
| 435 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
| 436 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
| 437 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
| 438 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
| 439 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
| 440 | |
| 441 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
| 442 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
| 443 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
| 444 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
| 445 duplicate names! | |
| 446 | |
| 447 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
| 448 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
| 449 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
| 450 | |
| 451 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
| 452 | |
| 453 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
| 454 information and testing. | |

| 460 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
| 461 ================= | |
| 462 | |
| 463 Hello once more... | |
| 464 | |
| 465 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
| 466 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
| 467 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
| 468 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
| 469 converted. Cheers. | |
| 470 | |
| 471 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
| 472 can be very different! | |
| 473 | |
| 474 Let us see how it goes... | |
| 475 | |

| 479 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
| 480 =========== | |
| 481 | |
| 482 Hello! | |
| 483 | |
| 484 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
| 485 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
| 486 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
| 487 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
| 488 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
| 489 | |
| 11 | 490 Improvements over previous version: |
| 3 | 491 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
| 492 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
| 493 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
| 494 | |
| 495 | |
| 496 Usage: | |
| 497 | |
| 498 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
| 499 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
| 500 OPTIONS: | |
| 501 -h - Help. This screen | |
| 502 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
| 503 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
| 504 -V - Version. Display program version | |
| 505 | |
| 506 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
| 507 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
| 508 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
| 509 | |
| 510 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
| 511 | |

| 514 LibPST v0.1 | |
| 515 =========== | |
| 516 | |
| 517 Hi Folks! | |
| 518 | |
| 519 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
| 520 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
| 521 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
| 522 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
| 523 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
| 524 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
| 525 achieve though. | |
| 526 | |
| 527 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
| 528 | |
| 529 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
| 530 the following manner | |
| 531 | |
| 532 ./main {path to PST file} | |
| 533 | |
| 534 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
| 535 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
| 536 will never be converted to Linux. | |
| 537 | |
| 538 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
| 539 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
| 540 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
| 541 | |
| 542 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
| 543 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
| 544 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
| 545 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
| 546 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
| 547 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
| 548 | |
| 549 I hope you enjoy, | |
| 550 | |
| 551 Dave Smith | |
