1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib. 1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib.
2 2
3_FP_gets still 70% of scan time. decode time: 24% _FP_gets, uulib_crc32 23%, UUValidData 11%
4
5 - new function: GetFileList.
6 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
7 - updated example decoder 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.

201.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
21 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
22 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
23 with very slow fgetc.
24
251.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
26 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
27 and some other minor issues.

291.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
30 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
31 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
32 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
33 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
34
351.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
36 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
37 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
38 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
39 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
40 safely in the future.
41 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
42 - added stability canary support.
43
441.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
45 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
46 message is too long.
47 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
48 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
49 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
50
511.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
52 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
53 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
54 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
55
561.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
57 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
58 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
59 what he does;
60 but I doubt he even knows;
61 what he did.
62
631.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
64 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
65 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
66
671.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
68 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
69 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
70 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
71 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
72
731.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
74 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
75 expected (but not intended).
76 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
77 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
78 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
79 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
80 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
81 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
82 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
83 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
84 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
85 255 octet ones.
86 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
87
881.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
3 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium 89 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
4 to avoid false matches. 90 to avoid false matches.
91 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
92 - removed potentially confusing decode_temp calls from
93 example decoder.

7 - don't ask. 96 - don't ask.
