History & Changelog =================== Version 2.

6 - added: - added: - added: - fixed: extract files by drag & drop (for example on desktop) applying found phonebook entries on messages found in nbf backups extracted *.mms files can be opened individually fixes in mms parsing

Version 2.5 - added: new folder structure type (using zip compression) parsing, this structure can be found in backups from new models - fixed: time of sent messages from "predefmessages" storage Version 2.4 - added: new backup format (nbf) support. Actually nbf is nothing more than plain zip archive, so as a side effect, support for zip files has been added too. You can use NbuExplorer as "unzip with preview" tool now if you like - added: new message format decoding (storage which is typically under "predefmessages" system folder). This format decoding is used for preview purposes but also for load of Messages tab content during nbf backup format parsing - added: author email link added to About application dialog Version 2.3 - fixed: group parsing - added: experimental (not perfect, but somehow working) parsing of messages from symbian message storage Version 2.2 - fixed: vcard parser improved - fixed: minor binary calendar parsinf fix - improved: older phone models ARC format support added Version 2.1 - fixed: continue after error during file extraction - fixed: fixes in parsing of compressed fragments (file coverage increased, out of memory error prevention) - fixed: continue parsing after parse error in vcard section - fixed: vcard sections (contacts, calendar, bookmarks) parsing rearranged to support subfolders (N8 calendar issue) - fixed: binary encoded SMS parsing improved (number format type detection) Version 2.0 - added: "messages" tab for user friendly message browsing and exporting to txt, csv or xml - improved: date and time parsing for incoming MMS messages - fixed: fixes in parsing of compressed fragments Version 1.19 - added: - added: - added: - improved: - improved: - fixed: parsing of binary SMS from newly discovered section of NBU format! parsing of base64 encoded photos from vcard contacts parsing date and time from contact vcard if present (REV) first file autoselect after folder selection vcf and vcs text preview (QUOTED-PRINTABLE text decoding) parsing of groups from 6230

Version 1.18 - fixed: minor fix in binary "todo" items parsing

- fixed:

VCARD parser fix - line break in quoted encoding probably can contain spaces - improved: internal code changes - improved: new (unknown so far) nbu section skipping - improved: filetype icon retreiving function made more resistant - added: message text preview for items under private\1000484b\Mail2 folder Version 1.17 - improved: working with uncompressed file sizes - improved: arc format parsing adapted for partial backups (Bookmarks.arc, Calendar.arc, Contacts.arc, Messages.arc, UserFiles.arc) - improved: filtering of duplicated files Version 1.16 - added: status bar with file and filesize counter - added: option to save parsing log into text file - improved: parsing of compressed fragments Version 1.15 - added: experimental parsing of compressed fragments in nbu and arc backup formats, more files from symbian phones backups can be exported now Version 1.14 - added: experimental *.arc backup format (phone side created) support, only first part (proably with user data) decoded (10-30% file coverage with available samples achieved) Version 1.13 - no functional change, only some internal code refactoring before publication of source code, because this is first version with full public access to the source code via SVN repository at sourceforge - readme.txt with short description, license.txt with GNU GPL license v3 and this changelog.txt added to official distribution Version 1.12 fixed: improved: improved: added: added: 4GB nbu backup file limit removed minor improvements in MMS parser minor improvements in vcard parser another S60 folder structure type (0x1008) parsing compressed S60 folder structure type (0x1002, 0x1004 and 0x1006) parsing with output only to decompressed fragments (still not ordered to final file structure, but closer...)

Version 1.11 - changed: project name changed from "Nokia NbuExplorer" just to "NbuExplorer" - improved: mono compatibility (conditional usage of function that prevented application to run under mono on linux), tested on Ubuntu 9.10 after installing winforms2.0 extension (can be done with command "sudo apt-get install libmono-winforms2.0-cil"). Thanks to Ricardo Pereira - improved: changes in files datetime parsing - it should not throw "Not a valid Win32 FileTime" exception now Version 1.10 - added: more folder structure types parsing

added: added: added: added: added: improved:

secondary calendar structure parsing (output only to the log) scan progress reporting and other parse log improvements information about backup date and time auto bruteforce mode option on unknown structure detection analyze request on unknown structure detection GUI response during parsing/scan

Version 1.9 - added: "bruteforce scan" mode (available as filter in file open dialog) this mode will not find more files and works slower, but can help to recover contacts, messages, calendar and bookmarks when classic parsing method fails, it could also work with damaged backup files or different types of files containing phone data in form of vcards (for example communication center cache files such as PCCSContact.db, PCCSSMS.db etc.)

Version 1.8 - added: - added: mms header and content parsing parsing of more nbu sections (file coverage increased - for example important C:\System\Data\Contacts.cdb file is now recognized in backups from symbian phones) - added: contact and groups multimedia files extraction (images, ringtones) - added: drag drop of backup files onto main form is now supported - improved: internal code reorganisation and minor fixes - improved: all system sections output (Message2, Settings2 etc.) moved under Settings folder - improved: case insensitive folders processing when costructing folder tree - fixed: preview and export of files with invalid chars in filename Version 1.7 date/time parsing (files, calendar, messages) sorting files by date/time exporting files with parsed date/time calendar subdirectories for different item types (APPOINTMENT, TODO...) - added: sender/receiver contact name added to vmg (messages) filenames - improved: vcard (contacts, calendar items, messages) parser Version 1.6 - added: - fixed: - fixed: Version 1.5 fix in skipping of section "Bookmarks2" added support for new section type (N86 Files) added file coverage counter to end of log fixed support for nfb & nfc (5100, 6610) added parsing of filenames in nfb & nfc "Yes to all" & "No to all" option in overwrite confirm dialog renaming of duplicate filenames (counter) main form controls (menu) are disabled during export operation added: added: added: added:

Version 1.4 - optimized preview of large text files - experimental support for older backup formats (nfb & nfc)
