3 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
4 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.

61.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
7 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
8 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
9 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.

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

19 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
20 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
21
221.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
23 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
24 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
25 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
26 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.

29 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
30 expected (but not intended).
31 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
32 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
33 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
34 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
35 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
36 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
37 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
38 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
39 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
40 255 octet ones.
41 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
42
431.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
44 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
45 to avoid false matches.
46 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
47 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
48 example decoder.
49
501.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
51 - don't ask.
52
531.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
54 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
55 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
56
571.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
58 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
59 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
60 files.
61 - some minor cleanups.
62
631.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
64 - URGENT update, the last release did not
65 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
66 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
67 (sorry. looked simple...).
68
691.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
70 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
71 and patch by Mark Martinec.
72
731.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
74 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
75 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
76 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
77 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
78 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
79
801.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
81 - change of contact address.
82 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
83
841.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
85 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
86 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
87
881.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
89 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
90 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
91
921.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
93 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
94 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
95 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
96 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
97 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
98 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
99 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
