4 - backport to c89 (patch by Paul Howarth).

61.7 Sat Feb 29 22:07:54 CET 2020
7 - new function: GetFileList.
8 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
9 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
10 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
11 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
12 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
13 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
14 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
15 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
16 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
17 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
18 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
19 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
20 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
21 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
22 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
23 - use common::sense.
24
251.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
26 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
27 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
28 with very slow fgetc.
29
301.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
31 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
32 and some other minor issues.
33
341.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
35 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
36 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
37 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
38 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
39
401.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
41 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
42 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
43 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
44 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
45 safely in the future.
46 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
47 - added stability canary support.
48
491.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
50 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
51 message is too long.
52 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
53 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
54 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
55
561.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
57 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
58 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
59 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
60
611.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
62 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
63 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
64 what he does;
65 but I doubt he even knows;
66 what he did.
67
681.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
69 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
70 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
71
721.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
73 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
74 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
75 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
76 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.

781.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
79 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
80 expected (but not intended).
81 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
82 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
83 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
84 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
85 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
86 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
87 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
88 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
89 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
90 255 octet ones.
91 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
