8 | - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK and use Smerge -1. |
|
|
9 | - some micro-optimisations. |
|
|
10 | - avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when isnerting items, |
|
|
11 | which speeds up insertion by a constant factor. |
|
|
12 | - improve uulist (and other) structure layout and size. |
|
|
13 | - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves |
|
|
14 | match speed with large usenet file lists. |

|
16 | - clean up _FP symbol names toi not start with an underscore. |
|
|
17 | - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked. |

|
|
19 | - misc very minor code improvements. |
|
|
20 | - remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft. |

|
|
22 | speed gain. |
|
|
23 | - speed up inner yenc decoder loop. |
|
|
24 | - kentnl said that this module should no longer claim to be a simple |
|
|
25 | interface to uulib, as the bunndled copy is now better maintained |
|
|
26 | than the original upstream library. |
