504:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy
6 is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p
704:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a
8 replacement for other things currently using the original uulib
906:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at
10 least
1106:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.

13 - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK dn use Smerge -1.
14 - many micro-optimisations.
15 - avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when isnerting items,
16 which speeds up insertion by a constant factor.
17 - improve uulist structure layout.
18 - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves
19 match speed with large usenet file lists.
20 - use getc instead of fgetc.
21 - clean up FP _symbol names.
22 - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked.
23 - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp.
24 - misc very minor code improvements.
25 - remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft.
26 - use flockfile, if avaiolable, for a potential but small
27 speed gain.

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

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

511.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
52 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
53 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
54 with very slow fgetc.
