2
3 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 3),
4 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader.
5 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
6 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
7 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
8 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
9 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
10 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
11 255 octet ones.
12 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
13
141.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
15 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
16 to avoid false matches.
17 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
18 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
19 example decoder.
20
211.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
22 - don't ask.
23
241.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
25 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
26 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
27
281.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
29 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
30 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
31 files.
32 - some minor cleanups.
33
341.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
35 - URGENT update, the last release did not
36 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
37 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
38 (sorry. looked simple...).
39
401.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
41 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
42 and patch by Mark Martinec.
43
441.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
45 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
46 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
47 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
48 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
49 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
50
511.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
52 - change of contact address.
53 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
54
551.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
56 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
57 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
58
591.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
60 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
61 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
62
631.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
64 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
65 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
66 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
67 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
68 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
69 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
70 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
71
721.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
73 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
74 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
75
761.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
77 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
78 - very short files might not be detected because the header
79 parsing code might skip them.
80
811.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
82 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
83 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
84 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
85 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
86
870.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
88 - no internal code changes.
89 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
90 - removed the procedural interface.
91 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
92 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
93
940.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
95 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
96 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
97 again.
98 - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
99 Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
100 who sent in patches :(
101 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
102 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
103
1040.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
105 - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
106
1070.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
108 - fix yEnc decoding support.
109 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
110 - increased linelength to 1195.
111
1120.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
113 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
114 fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
115 alerted me...
116
1170.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
118 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
119 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
120 to be FP_* in the object file.
121 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
