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

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