1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib.
2    
3 root 1.51 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
4     I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
5     what he does;
6     but I doubt he even knows;
7     what he did.
8    
9 root 1.50 1.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
10     - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
11     (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
12    
13 root 1.49 1.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
14 root 1.48 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
15     functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
16     (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
17     disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
18    
19 root 1.47 1.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
20 root 1.46 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
21     expected (but not intended).
22 root 1.47 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
23 root 1.46 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
24     (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
25 root 1.44 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
26 root 1.45 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
27     (easily by a factor of 10..100).
28     - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
29     - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
30     - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
31     255 octet ones.
32     - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
33 root 1.44
34 root 1.43 1.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
35 root 1.41 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
36     to avoid false matches.
37 root 1.42 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
38 root 1.43 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
39     example decoder.
40 root 1.41
41 root 1.39 1.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
42     - don't ask.
43    
44 root 1.38 1.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
45     - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
46 root 1.40 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
47 root 1.38
48 root 1.37 1.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
49     - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
50     it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
51     files.
52     - some minor cleanups.
53    
54 root 1.33 1.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
55 root 1.34 - URGENT update, the last release did not
56 root 1.33 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
57 root 1.38 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
58 root 1.33 (sorry. looked simple...).
59    
60 root 1.32 1.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
61     - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
62 root 1.33 and patch by Mark Martinec.
63 root 1.32
64 root 1.31 1.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
65 root 1.29 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
66     fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
67     reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
68 root 1.30 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
69     stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
70 root 1.29
71 root 1.28 1.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
72     - change of contact address.
73     - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
74    
75 root 1.27 1.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
76     - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
77     and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
78    
79 root 1.26 1.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
80     - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
81     Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
82    
83 root 1.25 1.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
84     - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
85     overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
86     were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
87     documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
88     As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
89     I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
90     to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
91    
92 root 1.24 1.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
93     - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
94     shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
95    
96 root 1.23 1.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
97 root 1.22 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
98 root 1.23 - very short files might not be detected because the header
99     parsing code might skip them.
100 root 1.22
101 root 1.21 1.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
102 root 1.20 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
103     and use the last bracket found otherwise.
104     - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
105 root 1.21 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
106 root 1.20
107 root 1.19 0.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
108     - no internal code changes.
109 root 1.18 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
110     - removed the procedural interface.
111 root 1.20 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
112 root 1.19 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
113 root 1.18
114 root 1.15 0.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
115 root 1.17 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
116 root 1.20 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
117 root 1.17 again.
118     - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
119     Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
120     who sent in patches :(
121 root 1.14 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
122 root 1.16 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
123 root 1.14
124 root 1.12 0.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
125     - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
126    
127 root 1.10 0.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
128     - fix yEnc decoding support.
129     - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
130 root 1.11 - increased linelength to 1195.
131 root 1.10
132 root 1.9 0.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
133 root 1.13 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
134     fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
135 root 1.9 alerted me...
136    
137 root 1.7 0.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
138     - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
139     - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
140     to be FP_* in the object file.
141 root 1.8 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
142 root 1.7
143 root 1.6 0.201 Sun Sep 16 03:43:38 CEST 2001
144 root 1.5 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who
145     provides all the test files ;)
146 root 1.2
147 root 1.5 0.2 Thu Jun 14 18:42:49 CEST 2001
148     - Frank Pilhofer is NOT dead! He is alive, kicking, and fixing
149 root 1.1 bugs in uulib now! Since his uulib and mine diverged quite
150     a bit I am still in the process of merging his bugfixes
151     into my version. So be aware that this might introduce new
152     instabilities...
153     - merged uulib-0.5.15
154 root 1.3 - optimize decode_file to not copy the file contents when a rename
155     succeeds (TMPDIR same disk as destination).
156 root 1.4 - updated documentation.
157 root 1.1
158     0.111 Fri May 4 22:29:09 CEST 2001
159     - heuristic to decode microsoft-rfc822-headers (microsoft uses
160     '\' as path seperator which is also the rfc822 quote character.
161     of course they could have quoted it, but it's microsoft, so
162     only the devil knows how they try to parse mime (they obviously
163     haven't read the standard AGAIN). in case you wonder, this fixes
164     the "c:my_documentssend.doc" "filename" problem.
165    
166     0.11 Sun Jul 16 22:42:57 CEST 2000
167     - fixed a bug in the file callback.
168    
169     0.10 Tue May 2 03:31:09 CEST 2000
170     - fixed one very longstanding bug that might have been the cause
171     for the many mysterious segmentation faults. Hopefully.
172     - improved documentation to the point that it slowly becomes useful
173     as a (very quick) reference.
174    
175     0.07 Wed Nov 24 18:45:23 CET 1999
176     - removed END { CleanUp } from UUlib.pm, perl is too
177     buggy to rely on this in the face of popen etc..
178    
179     0.06 Thu Jul 29 22:48:18 CEST 1999
180     - Thierry Bezecourt had the very reasonable idea to include
181     the example source in the manpage.
182    
183     0.05 Mon May 24 11:37:25 CEST 1999
184     - LoadFile returns number of parts loaded.
185    
186     0.04 Mon May 10 22:02:31 CEST 1999
187     - fixed a couple of portability problems.
188     - UUEncodeToStream had a wrong definition.
189     - added primitive testsuite.
190     - added README.
191    
192     0.03 Sat May 8 22:40:01 CEST 1999
193     - renamed it to Convert::UUlib.
194    
195     0.02 Fri May 7 01:26:19 CEST 1999
196     - function names exportable (use :all-tag).
197     - made uulist-related functions methods.
198     - the first fix from cpan-tester. *sigh* you people save the
199     world, continuously.
200    
201     0.01 Thu May 6 14:30:44 1999
202     - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
