273 =============================== | |
274 | |
275 Well, alot has happened since the last release of libpst. | |
276 | |
277 Release / Management: | |
278 | |
11 | 279 * The project has forked! The new maintainer is Joseph Nahmias. |
280 * We have changed hosting sites, thanks to sourceforge for hosting | |
281 to this point. From this point forward we will be using | |
282 alioth.debian.org. | |
283 * The project is now using SubVersioN for source control. You can | |
284 get the latest code by running: | |
285 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/libpst/trunk . | |
286 * See | |
287 <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/libpst-devel/2004-November/000000.html> | |
288 for more information. | |
3 | 289 |
290 Code Changes: | |
291 | |
11 | 292 * Added lspst program to list items in a PST. Still incomplete. |
293 * Added vim folding markers to readpst.c | |
294 * avoid the pseudo-prologue that MS prepends to the email headers | |
295 * fix build on msvc, since it doesn't have sys/param.h | |
296 * Re-vamped Makefile: | |
297 * Only define CFLAGS in Makefileif missing | |
298 * fixed {un,}install targets in Makefile | |
299 * Fixed up build process in Makefile | |
300 * Added mozilla conversion script from David Binard | |
301 * Fixed bogus creation of readpst.log on every invocation | |
302 * escaped dashes and apostrophe in manpages | |
303 * Updated TODO | |
304 * added manpages from debian pkg | |
305 * fix escaped-string length count to consider '\n', | |
306 thanks to Paul Bakker <bakker@fox-it.com>. | |
307 * ensure there's a blank line between header and body | |
308 patch from <johnh@aproposretail.com> (SourceForge #890745). | |
309 * Apply accumulated endian-related patches | |
310 * Removed unused files, upstream's debian/ dir | |

314 LibPST v0.5 | |
315 =========== | |
316 | |
317 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools! | |
318 | |
319 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even | |
320 better. | |
321 | |
322 The changes are as follows: | |
323 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments | |
324 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them | |
325 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!" | |
326 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now. | |
327 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries. | |
328 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events | |
329 * Support for Journal entries has also begun | |
330 | |
331 If you have any problems with this release, don't hesitate to contact me. | |
332 | |
333 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful | |
334 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library | |
335 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for | |
336 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch | |
337 with me, as I am sure we can come to some arrangement. | |

349 | |
350 LibPST v0.4.2 | |
351 ============= | |
352 | |
353 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer | |
354 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a | |
355 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have | |
356 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to | |
357 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that | |
358 the log message was printed from. | |
359 | |
360 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to | |
361 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch | |
362 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used. | |
363 | |
364 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++ | |
365 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project | |
366 file included in this distribution. | |
367 | |
368 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too. | |
369 | |
370 | |
371 LibPST v0.4.1 | |
372 ============= | |
373 | |
374 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves | |
375 in random, hard to find places! | |
376 | |
377 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded | |
378 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are | |
379 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate | |
380 items) | |
381 | |
382 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now | |
383 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not | |
384 bigger!) | |
385 | |
386 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST | |
387 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value | |
388 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data, | |
389 and trying to make sense of it! | |
390 | |
391 Anyway, if you find any problems, don't hesitate to mail me | |
392 | |

395 | |
396 LibPST v0.4 | |
397 =========== | |
398 | |
399 Fixed a nasty bug that occasionally corrupted attachments. Another bug | |
400 with regard to reading of indexes (also occasional). | |
401 | |
402 Another output method has been added which is called "Seperate". It is | |
403 activated with the -S switch. It operates in the following manor: | |
404 | |
405 |--Inbox-->000000 | |
11 | 406 | 000001 |
407 | 000002 | |
3 | 408 |--Sentmail-->0000000 |
11 | 409 | 0000001 |
410 | 0000002 | |
3 | 411 |
412 All the emails are stored in seperate files counting from 0 upwards, | |
413 in a folder named as the PST folder. | |
414 | |
415 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The | |
416 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the | |
417 email number to which it belongs, the second is its filename. | |
418 | |
419 The should now be runnable on big-endian machines, if the define.h | |
420 file is first modified. The #define LITTLE_ENDIAN must be commented | |
421 out, and the #define BIG_ENDIAN must be uncommented. | |
422 | |
423 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got | |
424 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now | |
425 been resolved. | |
426 | |
427 Thanks for the continued support of all people involved. | |
428 | |

431 | |
432 Libpst v0.3.4 | |
433 ============= | |
434 | |
435 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of | |
436 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable | |
437 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these | |
438 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with | |
439 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people | |
440 at make it operate on Solaris. | |
441 | |
442 A whole load more items are now recognized by the Item records. With | |
443 more items in Emails and Folders. I haven't got to the Contacts yet. | |
444 | |
445 Anyway, this is what I would call a minor feature enhancment and | |
446 bugfix release. | |
447 | |
448 Dave Smith | |
449 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
450 | |
451 LibPST v0.3.3 | |
452 ============= | |
453 | |
454 Fixed several items. Mainly memory leaks. Loads of them! oops.. | |
455 | |
456 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed | |
11 | 457 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from |
3 | 458 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use |
459 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application | |
460 to use the libpst interface. | |
461 | |
462 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully | |
463 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails | |
464 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now. | |
465 | |
466 Dave Smith | |
467 <dave.s@earthcorp.com> | |
468 | |
469 LibPST v0.3.2 | |
470 ============= | |
471 | |
472 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic | |
473 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted | |
474 to 0x6c instead of 0xcd. This release fixes this bug. Sorry... | |
475 | |
476 | |
477 LibPST v0.3.1 | |
478 ============= | |
479 | |
480 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together, | |
481 so now the linking blocks are not "encrypted" when trying to read | |
482 them. | |
483 | |
484 | |
485 LibPST v0.3 | |
486 =========== | |
487 | |
488 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been | |
489 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of | |
490 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented. | |
491 | |
492 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on | |
493 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter | |
494 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable | |
495 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems. | |
496 | |
497 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal | |
498 directories. For Instance: | |
499 | |
500 Personal Folders | |
501 |-Inbox | |
502 | |-Jokes | |
503 | |-Meetings | |
504 |-Send Items | |
505 | |
506 each folder containing an mbox file with the correct emails for that | |
507 folder. | |

512 | |
513 LibPST v0.3 beta1 | |
514 ================= | |
515 | |
516 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the | |
517 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the | |
11 | 518 attachments that were created disappear. |
3 | 519 |
520 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been | |
521 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a | |
522 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST | |
523 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to | |
524 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the | |
525 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the | |
526 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do! | |
527 | |
528 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means | |
529 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first | |
530 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named | |
531 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many | |
532 duplicate names! | |
533 | |
534 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the | |
535 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other | |
536 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware! | |
537 | |
538 Thanks to Berry Wizard for help with supporting the encryption. | |
539 | |
540 Thanks to Auke Kok, Carolus Walraven and Yogesh Kumar Guatam for providing debugging | |
541 information and testing. | |

547 LibPST v0.2 beta1 | |
548 ================= | |
549 | |
550 Hello once more... | |
551 | |
552 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very | |
553 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this | |
554 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send | |
555 me the email (complete message source) of the original and | |
556 converted. Cheers. | |
557 | |
558 I hope this will work for everyone who uses this program, but reality | |
559 can be very different! | |
560 | |
561 Let us see how it goes... | |
562 | |

565 | |
566 LibPST v0.2 alpha1 | |
567 =========== | |
568 | |
569 Hello! | |
570 | |
571 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that | |
572 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The | |
573 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary | |
574 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current | |
575 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name. | |
576 | |
11 | 577 Improvements over previous version: |
3 | 578 * KMail output is supported - if the "-k" flag is specified, all the |
579 directory hierarchy is created using the KMail standard | |
580 * Lots of bugs and memory leaks fixed | |
581 | |
582 | |
583 Usage: | |
584 | |
585 ReadPST v0.2alpha1 implementing LibPST v0.2alpha1 | |
586 Usage: ./readpst [OPTIONS] {PST FILENAME} | |
587 OPTIONS: | |
588 -h - Help. This screen | |
589 -k - KMail. Output in kmail format | |
590 -o - Output Dir. Directory to write files to. CWD is changed *after* opening pst file | |
591 -V - Version. Display program version | |
592 | |
593 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h" | |
594 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be | |
595 advisable to pipe all output to a log file: | |
596 | |
597 ./readpst -o out pst_file &> logfile | |
598 | |

601 LibPST v0.1 | |
602 =========== | |
603 | |
604 Hi Folks! | |
605 | |
606 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got | |
607 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an | |
608 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each | |
609 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in | |
610 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these | |
611 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to | |
612 achieve though. | |
613 | |
614 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts. | |
615 | |
616 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in | |
617 the following manner | |
618 | |
619 ./main {path to PST file} | |
620 | |
621 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release | |
622 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files | |
623 will never be converted to Linux. | |
624 | |
625 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into | |
626 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and | |
627 converting PST files into a variety of formats. | |
628 | |
629 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates | |
630 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to | |
631 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert | |
632 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to | |
633 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one | |
634 and then convert the unencrypted one. | |
635 | |
636 I hope you enjoy, | |
637 | |
