3unix/uufnflt - filenamefilters 3 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
4Changes - his changes into uulib? 4 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
5 what he does;
6 but I doubt he even knows;
7 what he did.

10 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
11 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
12
131.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
14 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
15 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
16 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
17 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.

191.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
20 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
21 expected (but not intended).
22 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
23 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
24 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
25 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
26 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
27 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
28 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
29 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
30 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
31 255 octet ones.
32 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
33
341.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
35 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
36 to avoid false matches.
37 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
38 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
39 example decoder.
40
411.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
42 - don't ask.
43
441.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
45 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
46 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
47
481.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
49 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
50 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
51 files.
52 - some minor cleanups.
53
541.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
55 - URGENT update, the last release did not
56 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
57 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
58 (sorry. looked simple...).
59
601.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
61 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
62 and patch by Mark Martinec.
63
641.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
65 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
66 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
67 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
68 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
69 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
70
711.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
72 - change of contact address.
73 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
74
751.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
76 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
77 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
78
791.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
80 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
81 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
82
831.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
84 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
85 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
86 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
87 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
88 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
89 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
90 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
91
921.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
93 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
94 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
95
961.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
97 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
98 - very short files might not be detected because the header
99 parsing code might skip them.
100
1011.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
102 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
103 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
104 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
105 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
106
1070.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
108 - no internal code changes.
109 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
110 - removed the procedural interface.
111 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
112 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
113
1140.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
115 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
116 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
117 again.
118 - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
119 Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
120 who sent in patches :(
121 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
122 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
123
1240.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
125 - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
126
1270.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
128 - fix yEnc decoding support.
129 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
130 - increased linelength to 1195.
131
1320.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
133 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
134 fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
135 alerted me...
136
1370.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
138 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
139 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
140 to be FP_* in the object file.
141 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
142
1430.201 Sun Sep 16 03:43:38 CEST 2001
144 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who
145 provides all the test files ;)
146
1470.2 Thu Jun 14 18:42:49 CEST 2001

12 - merged uulib-0.5.15 153 - merged uulib-0.5.15
154 - optimize decode_file to not copy the file contents when a rename
155 succeeds (TMPDIR same disk as destination).
156 - updated documentation.
