4 - new function: GetFileList.
5 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
6 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
7 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
8 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
9 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
10 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
11 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
12 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
13 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
14 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
15 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
16 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
17 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
18 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
19 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
20 - use common::sense.
21
221.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
23 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
24 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
25 with very slow fgetc.
26
271.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
28 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
29 and some other minor issues.
30
311.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
32 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
33 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
34 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
35 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
36
371.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
38 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
39 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
40 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
41 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
42 safely in the future.
43 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
44 - added stability canary support.
45
461.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
47 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
48 message is too long.
49 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
50 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
51 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
52
531.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
54 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
55 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
56 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
57
581.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
59 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
60 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
61 what he does;
62 but I doubt he even knows;
63 what he did.
64
651.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
66 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
67 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
68
691.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
70 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
71 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
72 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
73 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
74
751.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
76 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
77 expected (but not intended).
78 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
79 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
80 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
81 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
82 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
83 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
84 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
85 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
86 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
87 255 octet ones.
88 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
89
901.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
91 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
92 to avoid false matches.
93 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
94 - removed potentially confusing decode_temp calls from
95 example decoder.

4 - don't ask. 98 - don't ask.
