31.5
4 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaƛ).
5 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
6 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
7 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
8 safely in the future.

101.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
11 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
12 message is too long.
13 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
14 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
15 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
16
171.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
18 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
19 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
20 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
21
221.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
23 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
24 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
25 what he does;
26 but I doubt he even knows;
27 what he did.
28
291.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
30 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
31 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).
32
331.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
34 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
35 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
36 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
37 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.

391.3 Sat Aug 29 01:24:35 CEST 2009
40 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
41 expected (but not intended).
42 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
43 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
44 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
45 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
46 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
47 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
48 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
49 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
50 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
51 255 octet ones.
52 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
53
541.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
55 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
56 to avoid false matches.
57 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
58 - removed potentially confusing decode_temp calls from
59 example decoder.
60
611.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
62 - don't ask.
63
641.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
65 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
66 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
67
681.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
69 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
70 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
71 files.
72 - some minor cleanups.
73
741.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
75 - URGENT update, the last release did not
76 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
77 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
78 (sorry. looked simple...).
79
801.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
81 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
82 and patch by Mark Martinec.
83
841.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
85 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
86 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
87 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
88 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
89 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
90
911.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
92 - change of contact address.
93 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
94
951.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
96 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
97 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
98
991.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
100 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
101 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
