1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib. 1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib.

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

5 - new function: GetFileList.
6 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
7 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
8 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
9 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
10 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
11 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
12 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
13 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
14 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
15 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
16 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
17 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
18 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
19 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
20 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
21 - use common::sense.

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

29 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
30 and some other minor issues.

321.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
33 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
34 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
35 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
36 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.

381.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
39 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
40 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
41 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
42 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
43 safely in the future.
44 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
45 - added stability canary support.
