31.5 304:59:03 <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.

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

18 - new function: GetFileList.
19 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
20 - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again.
21 - updated example decoder and documentation a bit.
22 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
23 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
24 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
25 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
26 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
27 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
28 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
29 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
30 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
31 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
32 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.
33 - convert constant creation to the method I normally use.
34 - use common::sense.
35
361.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
37 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
38 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
39 with very slow fgetc.

411.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
42 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
43 and some other minor issues.
44
451.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
46 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
47 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
48 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
49 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
