We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments - * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them - * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" - * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. - -If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. - -These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful -thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library -and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for -developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch -with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. - -Dave Smith - - -LibPST v0.4.3 -============= - -Bug fix release. No extra functionality - -Dave Smith - - -LibPST v0.4.2 -============= - -The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer -printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a -binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have -written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to -selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that -the log message was printed from. - -There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to -specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch -isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. - -The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ -.net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project -file included in this distribution. - -There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. - - -LibPST v0.4.1 -============= - -Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves -in random, hard to find places! - -Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded -items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are -accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate -items) - -Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now -detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not -bigger!) - -Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST -file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value -wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, -and trying to make sense of it! - -Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me + $Id$ -Dave Smith - - -LibPST v0.4 -=========== - -Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug -with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). - -Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is -activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: - - |--Inbox-->000000 - | 000001 - | 000002 - |--Sentmail-->0000000 - | 0000001 - | 0000002 - -All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, -in a folder named as the PST folder. - -When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The -filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the -email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. - -The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h -file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented -out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. - -More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got -confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now -been resolved. - -Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. - -Dave Smith - - -Libpst v0.3.4 -============= - -Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of -item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable -on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these -CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with -regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people -at make it operate on Solaris. - -A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With -more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. - -Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and -bugfix release. - -Dave Smith - - -LibPST v0.3.3 -============= - -Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. - -I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed -an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from -the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use -to most people, but it is another example of writing an application -to use the libpst interface. - -Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully -now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails -in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. - -Dave Smith - - -LibPST v0.3.2 -============= - -Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic -encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted -to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... +Try this: - -LibPST v0.3.1 -============= - -Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, -so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read -them. - - -LibPST v0.3 -=========== - -A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been -done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of -large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. - -Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on -Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter -lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable -parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. - -Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal -directories. For Instance: - -Personal Folders - |-Inbox - | |-Jokes - | |-Meetings - |-Send Items - -each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that -folder. - -Dave Smith - - - -LibPST v0.3 beta1 -================= - -Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the -mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the -attachments that were created disappear. - -A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been -added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a -ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST -password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to -encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the -readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the -password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! - -Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means -that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first -one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named -"fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many -duplicate names! - -Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the -name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other -characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! - -Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. - -Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging -information and testing. - -Dave Smith - - - -LibPST v0.2 beta1 -================= - -Hello once more... - -Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very -crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this -version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send -me the email (complete message source) of the original and -converted. Cheers. - -I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality -can be very different! - -Let us see how it goes... - -Dave Smith - - -LibPST v0.2 alpha1 -=========== - -Hello! - -Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that -attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The -readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary -structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current -directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. - -Improvements over previous version: -* KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the - directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard -* Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed - - -Usage: - -ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 -Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} -OPTIONS: - -h - Help. This screen - -k - KMail. Output in kmail format - -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file - -V - Version. Display program version - -If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" -from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be -advisable to pipe all output to a log file: - -./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile - -Dave Smith - -LibPST v0.1 -=========== - -Hi Folks! - -This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got -somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an -Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each -folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in -the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these -files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to -achieve though. - -Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. - -There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in -the following manner - -./main {path to PST file} - -This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release -this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files -will never be converted to Linux. - -I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into -greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and -converting PST files into a variety of formats. - -One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates -"Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to -write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert -these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to -make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one -and then convert the unencrypted one. - -I hope you enjoy, - -Dave Smith + ./configure + make + su + make install diff -r ec7e344e0dfb -r 69ab1d8b3293 package --- a/package Sun Feb 19 19:45:02 2006 -0800 +++ b/package Sun Feb 19 19:51:50 2006 -0800 @@ -1,12 +1,25 @@ #!/bin/bash pst=outlook.pst +cp /home/ldap/$pst . -cp /home/ldap/$pst . +T=`grep AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in | cut -d'(' -f2` +NAME=`echo $T | cut -d, -f1` +VER=`echo $T | cut -d, -f2 | cut -d')' -f1` +BALL=$NAME-$VER.tar.gz +web=/home/httpd/html/510sg/$NAME +distlog=/tmp/distcheck + +echo $web $BALL + chown --recursive root:root * -make clean -make all +make -f *cvs +./configure >/dev/null +(cd xml; make; make distclean) chown --recursive carl:carl * +make distcheck >$distlog 2>&1 + +exit if [ -f pst2ldif ]; then rm -f pst2ldif.log my.log
