3TODO: biggest timesinks: FP_fgets/getc_unlocked overall, UUInsertPartToList dominates large loads due to O(n**2) search

504:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy
6 is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p
704:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a
8 replacement for other things currently using the original uulib
906:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at
10 least
1106:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.

13 - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK dn use Smerge -1.
14 - relatively minor speed increasses.
15 - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves
16 match speed with large usenet file lists.
17 - use getc instead of fgetc.
18 - clean up FP _symbol names.
19 - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked.
20 - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp.
21 - misc very minor code improvements.

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

27 - new function: GetFileList.
28 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
29 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
30 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
31 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
32 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
33 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
34 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
35 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
36 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
37 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
38 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
39 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
40 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
41 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
42 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
43 - use common::sense.
44
451.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
46 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
47 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
48 with very slow fgetc.
49
501.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
51 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
52 and some other minor issues.
53
541.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
55 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
56 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
57 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
58 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
59
601.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
61 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
62 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
63 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
64 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
65 safely in the future.
66 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
67 - added stability canary support.
68
691.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
70 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
71 message is too long.
72 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
73 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
74 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
