1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib. 1Revision history for Perl extension Convert::UUlib.

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

5 - new function: GetFileList.
6 - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage).
7 - updated example decoder a bit.
8 - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness.
9 - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc.
10 - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme,
11 which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding.
12 - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine
13 the part crcs together to form the file crc.
14 - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as
15 some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use.
16 - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part,
17 which avoids spurious corruption warnings.
18 - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING.

21 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
22 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
23 with very slow fgetc.

26 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
27 and some other minor issues.

30 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
31 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
32 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
33 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.

36 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
37 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
38 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
39 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
40 safely in the future.
41 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
42 - added stability canary support.
