| 49 | 1 LibPST 0.6.4 (2008-01-19) |
| 48 | 2 =============================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 * More fixes for Outlook 2003 64 bit parsing. We observed cases of | |
| 5 compressed RTF bodies (type 0x1009) with zero length. | |
| 49 | 6 * Document type 0x0101 descriptor blocks and process them. |
| 48 | 7 * Fix large file support - we need to include config.h before any |
| 8 standard headers. | |
| 50 | 9 * Merge following changes from svn snapshot from Alioth: |
| 10 * Add new fields to appointment for recurring events | |
| 11 (SourceForge #304198) | |
| 12 * Map IPM.Task items to PST_TYPE_TASK. | |
| 13 * Applied patch to remove compiler warnings, thanks! | |
| 14 (SourceForge #304314) | |
| 15 * Fix crash with unknown reference type | |
| 16 * Fix more memory issues detected by valgrind | |
| 17 * lspst - add usage mesage and option parsing using getopt | |
| 18 (SourceForge #304199) | |
| 19 * Fix crash caused by invalid free calls | |
| 20 * Fix crash when email subject is empty | |
| 21 * Fix memory and information leak in hex debug dump | |
| 48 | 22 |
| 47 | 23 LibPST 0.6.3 (2008-01-13) |
| 24 =============================== | |
| 25 | |
| 26 * More type consistency issues found by splint. | |
| 27 | |
| 46 | 28 LibPST 0.6.2 (2008-01-12) |
| 29 =============================== | |
| 30 | |
| 31 * More fixes for Outlook 2003 64 bit parsing. | |
| 32 * All buffer sizes changed to size_t, all file offsets changed to off_t, | |
| 33 all function names start with pst_, many other type consistency issues | |
| 34 found by splint. Many changes to #llx in debug printing for 64 bit items. | |
| 47 | 35 All id values are now uint64_t. |
| 46 | 36 |
| 43 | 37 LibPST 0.6.1 (2008-01-06) |
| 38 =============================== | |
| 39 | |
| 40 * Outlook 2003 64 bit parsing. Some documentation from Alexander Grau | |
| 41 <alexandergrau@gmx.de> and patches from Sean Loaring <sloaring@tec-man.com>. | |
| 42 * fix from Antonio Palama <palama@inwind.it> for email items | |
| 43 that happen to have item->contact non null, and were being processed | |
| 44 as contacts. | |
| 45 * Add large file support so we can read .pst files larger than 2gb. | |
| 46 * Change lspst to be similar to readpst, properly using recursion to walk | |
| 47 the tree, and testing item types. Add a man page for lspst. | |
| 48 | |

| 57 | |
| 58 * fix from Stevens Miller <smiller@novadatalabs.com> | |
| 59 for unitialized variable. | |
| 60 | |
| 39 | 61 LibPST 0.5.10 (2007-08-20) |
| 62 =============================== | |
| 63 | |
| 64 * fix yet more valgrind errors - finally have a clean memory check. | |
| 65 * restructure readpst.c for proper recursive tree walk. | |
| 66 * buffer overrun test was backwards, introduced at 0.5.6 | |
| 67 * fix broken email attachments, introduced at 0.5.6 | |

| 37 | 74 LibPST 0.5.8 (2007-08-10) |
| 75 =============================== | |
| 76 | |
| 77 * fix more valgrind errors. lzfu_decompress needs to return the | |
| 78 actual buffer size, since the lz header overestimates the size. | |
| 79 This caused base64_encode to encode undefined bytes into the | |
| 80 email attachment. | |
| 81 | |
| 36 | 82 LibPST 0.5.7 (2007-08-09) |
| 83 =============================== | |
| 84 | |
| 85 * fix valgrind errors, using uninitialized data. | |
| 86 * improve debug logging and readpstlog for indented listings. | |
| 87 * cleanup documentation. | |
| 88 | |

| 116 =============================== | |
| 117 | |
| 118 * patches from Arne, adding MH mode, remove leading zeros | |
| 119 from the generated numbered filenames starting with one | |
| 120 rather than zero. Miscellaneous code cleanup. | |
| 121 | |

| 11 | 137 =============================== |
| 138 | |
| 139 * Added pst2ldif to convert the contacts to ldif format for import | |
| 140 into ldap databases. | |
| 141 | |
| 142 * Major changes to libpst.c to properly use the node depth values | |
| 143 from the b-tree nodes. We also use the item count values in the nodes | |
| 144 rather than trying to guess how many items are active. | |
| 145 | |
| 146 * Cleanup whitespace - using tabs for every four columns. | |
| 147 | |
| 148 | |
| 3 | 149 LibPST 0.5.1 (17 November 2004) |
| 150 =============================== | |
| 151 | |
| 152 Well, alot has happened since the last release of libpst. | |
| 153 | |
| 154 Release / Management: | |
| 155 | |
| 11 | 156 * The project has forked! The new maintainer is Joseph Nahmias. |
| 157 * We have changed hosting sites, thanks to sourceforge for hosting | |
| 158 to this point. From this point forward we will be using | |
| 159 alioth.debian.org. | |
| 160 * The project is now using SubVersioN for source control. You can | |
| 161 get the latest code by running: | |
| 162 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/libpst/trunk . | |
| 163 * See | |
| 164 <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/libpst-devel/2004-November/000000.html> | |
| 165 for more information. | |
| 3 | 166 |
| 167 Code Changes: | |
| 168 | |
| 11 | 169 * Added lspst program to list items in a PST. Still incomplete. |
| 170 * Added vim folding markers to readpst.c | |
| 171 * avoid the pseudo-prologue that MS prepends to the email headers | |
| 172 * fix build on msvc, since it doesn't have sys/param.h | |
| 173 * Re-vamped Makefile: | |
| 174 * Only define CFLAGS in Makefileif missing | |
| 175 * fixed {un,}install targets in Makefile | |
| 176 * Fixed up build process in Makefile | |
| 177 * Added mozilla conversion script from David Binard | |
| 178 * Fixed bogus creation of readpst.log on every invocation | |
| 179 * escaped dashes and apostrophe in manpages | |
| 180 * Updated TODO | |
| 181 * added manpages from debian pkg | |
| 182 * fix escaped-string length count to consider '\n', | |
| 183 thanks to Paul Bakker <bakker@fox-it.com>. | |
| 184 * ensure there's a blank line between header and body | |
| 185 patch from <johnh@aproposretail.com> (SourceForge #890745). | |
| 186 * Apply accumulated endian-related patches | |
| 187 * Removed unused files, upstream's debian/ dir | |

| 191 LibPST v0.5 | |
| 192 =========== | |
| 193 | |
| 194 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
| 195 | |
| 196 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
| 197 better. | |
| 198 | |
| 199 The changes are as follows: | |
| 200 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
| 201 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
| 202 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
| 203 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
| 204 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
| 205 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
| 206 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
| 207 | |
| 208 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
| 209 | |
| 210 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
| 211 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
| 212 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
| 213 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
| 214 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

| 218 | |
| 219 LibPST v0.4.3 | |
| 220 ============= | |
| 221 | |
| 222 Bug fix release. No extra functionality | |
| 223 | |
| 224 Dave Smith | |
| 225 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 226 | |
| 227 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
| 228 ============= | |
| 229 | |
| 230 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
| 231 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
| 232 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
| 233 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
| 234 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
| 235 the log message was printed from. | |
| 236 | |
| 237 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
| 238 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
| 239 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
| 240 | |
| 241 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
| 242 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
| 243 file included in this distribution. | |
| 244 | |
| 245 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
| 246 | |
| 247 | |
| 248 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
| 249 ============= | |
| 250 | |
| 251 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
| 252 in random, hard to find places! | |
| 253 | |
| 254 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
| 255 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
| 256 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
| 257 items) | |
| 258 | |
| 259 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
| 260 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
| 261 bigger!) | |
| 262 | |
| 263 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
| 264 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
| 265 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
| 266 and trying to make sense of it! | |
| 267 | |
| 268 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
| 269 | |
| 270 Dave Smith | |
| 271 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 272 | |
| 273 LibPST v0.4 | |
| 274 =========== | |
| 275 | |
| 276 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
| 277 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
| 278 | |
| 279 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
| 280 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
| 281 | |
| 282 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
| 11 | 283 | 000001 |
| 284 | 000002 | |
| 3 | 285 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
| 11 | 286 | 0000001 |
| 287 | 0000002 | |
| 3 | 288 |
| 289 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
| 290 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
| 291 | |
| 292 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
| 293 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
| 294 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
| 295 | |
| 296 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
| 297 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
| 298 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
| 299 | |
| 300 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
| 301 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
| 302 been resolved. | |
| 303 | |
| 304 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
| 305 | |
| 306 Dave Smith | |
| 307 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 308 | |
| 309 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
| 310 ============= | |
| 311 | |
| 312 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
| 313 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
| 314 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
| 315 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
| 316 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
| 317 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
| 318 | |
| 319 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
| 320 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
| 321 | |
| 322 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
| 323 bugfix release. | |
| 324 | |
| 325 Dave Smith | |
| 326 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 327 | |
| 328 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
| 329 ============= | |
| 330 | |
| 331 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
| 332 | |
| 333 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
| 11 | 334 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
| 3 | 335 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
| 336 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
| 337 to use the libpst interface. | |
| 338 | |
| 339 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
| 340 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
| 341 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
| 342 | |
| 343 Dave Smith | |
| 344 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
| 345 | |
| 346 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
| 347 ============= | |
| 348 | |
| 349 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
| 350 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
| 351 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
| 352 | |
| 353 | |
| 354 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
| 355 ============= | |
| 356 | |
| 357 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
| 358 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
| 359 them. | |
| 360 | |
| 361 | |
| 362 LibPST v0.3 | |
| 363 =========== | |
| 364 | |
| 365 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
| 366 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
| 367 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
| 368 | |
| 369 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
| 370 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
| 371 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
| 372 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
| 373 | |
| 374 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
| 375 directories. For Instance: | |
| 376 | |
| 377 Personal Folders | |
| 378 |-Inbox | |
| 379 | |-Jokes | |
| 380 | |-Meetings | |
| 381 |-Send Items | |
| 382 | |
| 383 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
| 384 folder. | |
| 385 | |

| 388 | |
| 389 | |
| 390 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
| 391 ================= | |
| 392 | |
| 393 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
| 394 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
| 11 | 395 attachments that were created disappear. |
| 3 | 396 |
| 397 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
| 398 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
| 399 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
| 400 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
| 401 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
| 402 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
| 403 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
| 404 | |
| 405 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
| 406 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
| 407 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
| 408 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
| 409 duplicate names! | |
| 410 | |
| 411 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
| 412 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
| 413 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
| 414 | |
| 415 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
| 416 | |
| 417 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
| 418 information and testing. | |

| 424 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
| 425 ================= | |
| 426 | |
| 427 Hello once more... | |
| 428 | |
| 429 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
| 430 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
| 431 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
| 432 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
| 433 converted. Cheers. | |
| 434 | |
| 435 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
| 436 can be very different! | |
| 437 | |
| 438 Let us see how it goes... | |

| 443 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
| 444 =========== | |
| 445 | |
| 446 Hello! | |
| 447 | |
| 448 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
| 449 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
| 450 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
| 451 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
| 452 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
| 453 | |
| 11 | 454 Improvements over previous version: |
| 3 | 455 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
| 456 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
| 457 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
| 458 | |
| 459 | |
| 460 Usage: | |
| 461 | |
| 462 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
| 463 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
| 464 OPTIONS: | |
| 465 -h - Help. This screen | |
| 466 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
| 467 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
| 468 -V - Version. Display program version | |
| 469 | |
| 470 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
| 471 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
| 472 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
| 473 | |
| 474 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |

| 478 LibPST v0.1 | |
| 479 =========== | |
| 480 | |
| 481 Hi Folks! | |
| 482 | |
| 483 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
| 484 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
| 485 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
| 486 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
| 487 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
| 488 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
| 489 achieve though. | |
| 490 | |
| 491 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
| 492 | |
| 493 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
| 494 the following manner | |
| 495 | |
| 496 ./main {path to PST file} | |
| 497 | |
| 498 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
| 499 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
| 500 will never be converted to Linux. | |
| 501 | |
| 502 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
| 503 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
| 504 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
| 505 | |
| 506 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
| 507 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
| 508 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
| 509 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
| 510 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
| 511 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
| 512 | |
| 513 I hope you enjoy, | |
| 514 | |
