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

5 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
6 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
7 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
8 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
9 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
10 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
11 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part.
12 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.

15 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
16 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
17 with very slow fgetc.
18
191.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
20 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
21 and some other minor issues.

231.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
24 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
25 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
26 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
27 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
28
291.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
30 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
31 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
32 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
33 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
34 safely in the future.
35 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
36 - added stability canary support.
37
381.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
39 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
40 message is too long.
41 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
42 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
43 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
44
451.34 Tue Dec 14 22:20:00 CET 2010
46 - fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData
47 (reported, analysed and testcase provided by Marco Walther).
48 - quoted-printable decoding was completely broken, try a fix.
49
501.33 Wed Oct 28 09:04:38 CET 2009
51 - handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully.
52 I wish yEnc had been created by somebody who knows;
53 what he does;
54 but I doubt he even knows;
55 what he did.

571.32 Wed Sep 16 20:07:13 CEST 2009
58 - Due to a glitch with CVS, configure lacked executable bits.
59 (Quickly reported by Anton Berezin).

611.31 Wed Sep 16 09:04:30 CEST 2009
62 - do not use system-replacements for case-insensitive string
63 functions when found, as they are broken on too many systems
64 (mostly bsds, as usual, but at least some versions of GNU/Linux
65 disagree with themselves apparently). Analyzed by Anton Berezin.
