304:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy
4 is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p
504:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a
6 replacement for other things currently using the original uulib
706:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at
8 least
906:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.

12 - very minor code improvements.
13 - use getc instead of fgetc.
14 - clean up FP _symbol names.
15 - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked.

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

21 - new function: GetFileList.
22 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
23 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
24 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
25 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
26 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
27 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
28 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
29 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
30 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
31 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
32 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
33 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
34 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
35 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
36 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
37 - use common::sense.

391.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
40 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
41 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
42 with very slow fgetc.
43
441.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
45 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
46 and some other minor issues.
47
481.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
49 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
50 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
51 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
52 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
53
541.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
55 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
56 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
57 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
58 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
59 safely in the future.
60 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
61 - added stability canary support.

6 - this release adds depdencies for snprintf/vsnprintf. 66 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.

8 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there. 68 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
