4 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
5 message is too long.
6 - this release adds depdencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
7 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
8 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
9
101.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
11 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
12 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
13 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
14
151.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
16 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
17 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
18 what he does;
19 but I doubt he even knows;
20 what he did.
21
221.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
23 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
24 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
25
261.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
27 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
28 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
29 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
30 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
31
321.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
33 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
34 expected (but not intended).
35 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
36 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
37 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
38 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
39 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
40 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
41 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
42 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
43 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
44 255 octet ones.
45 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
46
471.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
48 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
49 to avoid false matches.
50 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
51 - removed potentially confusing decode_temp calls from
52 example decoder.
53
541.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
55 - don't ask.
56
571.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
58 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
59 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
60
611.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
62 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
63 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
64 files.
65 - some minor cleanups.
66
671.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
68 - URGENT update, the last release did not
69 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
70 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
71 (sorry. looked simple...).
72
731.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
74 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
75 and patch by Mark Martinec.
76
771.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
78 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
79 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
80 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
81 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
82 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
83
841.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
85 - change of contact address.
86 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
87
881.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
89 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
90 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
91
921.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
93 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
94 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
95
961.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
97 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
98 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
99 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
100 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
101 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
102 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
103 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
104
1051.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
106 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
107 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
108
1091.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
110 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
111 - very short files might not be detected because the header
112 parsing code might skip them.
113
1141.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
115 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
116 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
117 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
118 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
119
1200.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
121 - no internal code changes.
4 - much better documentation, now considered "useful". 122 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
5 - removed the procedural interface. 123 - removed the procedural interface.
124 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
125 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
