The Barry development team is pleased to announce the release of
version 0.17.1. Source and binary packages are available for immediate
download at the URLs below.
Barry is an Open Source application that provides synchronization, backup,
restore, program management, and raw channel support for BlackBerry devices.
Barry is primarily developed on Linux, but is intended as a cross platform
library and application set, targeting Linux, BSD, 32/64bit, and
big/little endian systems. The command line utilities have been reported
to work on Mac OSX and Windows using Cygwin and libusb.
This is a minor bugfix release, fixing the following issues:
- compile issue in btardump
- added libbarrydp.la as a dependency in tools/Makefile.am
This helps when building on certain Fedora 14 boxes.
Thanks to Nathanael Noblet for finding this.
- fixed endless loop in IConverter if exceptions are off
- added --disable-sync to configure script for ARM cross-compiling
Thanks to Naveen for finding this.
- fixes to the Date class's string conversion functions
Binary packages are available on SourceForge for 32 bit systems, for
the following distros:
Debian old stable (lenny)
Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04
Fedora 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13
Source packages are available in Debian, RPM, and tarball formats.

Detailed user documentation is available online at the usual place:

There are some known issues in this release (which affect older
releases as well). Namely:
1) International characters in calendar and contact records
appear to cause some devices to switch to a different
low-level protocol, which Barry does not yet support.
2) Restoring backups for some databases on newer Blackberries
doesn't work (for example, on the 8120, 8700g). Before
relying on barrybackup, please make full data backups using
RIM's Windows tool.
For information on release target dates and milestones, see the
latest TODO file in the git repo:
http://repo.or.cz/w/barry.git?a=blob;f=TODO;hb=HEAD
You are encouraged to join the project, play with the code, and report
any problems or feature requests to the mailing list. You can use the
command line tool to capture unsupported database items and help in the
reverse engineering process.
Enjoy!
