4 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
5 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
6 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
7 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.

10 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
11 expected (but not intended).
12 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
13 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
14 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
15 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
16 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
17 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
18 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
19 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
20 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
21 255 octet ones.
22 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
23
241.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
25 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
26 to avoid false matches.
27 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
28 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
29 example decoder.

311.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
32 - don't ask.
33
341.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
35 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
36 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
37
381.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
39 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
40 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
41 files.
42 - some minor cleanups.
43
441.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
45 - URGENT update, the last release did not
46 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
47 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
48 (sorry. looked simple...).
49
501.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
51 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
52 and patch by Mark Martinec.
53
541.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
55 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
56 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
57 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
58 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
59 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
60
611.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
62 - change of contact address.
63 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
64
651.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
66 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
67 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
68
691.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
70 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
71 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
72
731.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
74 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
75 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
76 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
77 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
78 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
79 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
80 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
81
821.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
83 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
84 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
85
861.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
87 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
88 - very short files might not be detected because the header
89 parsing code might skip them.

4 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x), 92 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
5 and use the last bracket found otherwise. 93 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
6 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized. 94 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
