3unix/uufnflt - filenamefilters 31.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
4Changes - his changes into uulib? 4 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
5 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
6 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.

60.2 81.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
9 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
10 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
11 what he does;
12 but I doubt he even knows;
13 what he did.

151.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
16 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
17 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
18
191.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
20 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
21 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
22 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
23 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
24
251.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
26 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
27 expected (but not intended).
28 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
29 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
30 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
31 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
32 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
33 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
34 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
35 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
36 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
37 255 octet ones.
38 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
39
401.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
41 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
42 to avoid false matches.
43 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
44 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
45 example decoder.
46
471.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
48 - don't ask.
49
501.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
51 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
52 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
53
541.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
55 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
56 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
57 files.
58 - some minor cleanups.
59
601.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
61 - URGENT update, the last release did not
62 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
63 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
64 (sorry. looked simple...).
65
661.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
67 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
68 and patch by Mark Martinec.
69
701.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
71 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
72 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
73 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
74 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
75 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
76
771.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
78 - change of contact address.
79 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
80
811.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
82 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
83 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
84
851.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
86 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
87 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
88
891.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
90 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
91 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
92 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
93 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
94 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
95 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
96 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
97
981.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
99 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
100 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
101
1021.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
103 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
104 - very short files might not be detected because the header
105 parsing code might skip them.
106
1071.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
108 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
109 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
110 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
111 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
112
1130.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
114 - no internal code changes.
115 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
116 - removed the procedural interface.
117 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
118 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
119
1200.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
121 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
122 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
123 again.
124 - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
125 Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
126 who sent in patches :(
127 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
128 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
129
1300.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
131 - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
132
1330.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
134 - fix yEnc decoding support.
135 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
136 - increased linelength to 1195.
137
1380.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
139 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
140 fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
141 alerted me...
142
1430.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
144 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
145 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
146 to be FP_* in the object file.
147 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
148
1490.201 Sun Sep 16 03:43:38 CEST 2001
150 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who
151 provides all the test files ;)
152
1530.2 Thu Jun 14 18:42:49 CEST 2001

12 - merged uulib-0.5.15 159 - merged uulib-0.5.15
160 - optimize decode_file to not copy the file contents when a rename
161 succeeds (TMPDIR same disk as destination).
162 - updated documentation.
