3_FP_gets still 70% of scan time. decode time: 24% _FP_gets, uulib_crc32 23%, UUValidData 11%

5 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
6 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
7 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
8 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
9 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
10 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
11 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
12 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
13 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part.
14 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.

17 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
18 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
19 with very slow fgetc.

22 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
23 and some other minor issues.

26 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
27 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
28 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
29 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.

311.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
32 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
33 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
34 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
35 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
36 safely in the future.
37 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
38 - added stability canary support.

401.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
41 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
42 message is too long.
43 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
44 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
45 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
