304:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy
4 is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p
504:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a
6 replacement for other things currently using the original uulib
706:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at
8 least
906:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.

12 - very minor code improvements.
13 - use getc instead of fgetc.
14 - clean up FP _symbol names.
15 - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked.
16 - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp.

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

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

401.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020
41 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets
42 to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms
43 with very slow fgetc.
44
451.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020
46 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches
47 and some other minor issues.

491.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019
50 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported
51 by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based
52 on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial
53 of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
54
551.5 Sat Jul 11 03:56:06 CEST 2015
56 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś).
57 - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous),
58 allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard
59 pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows
60 safely in the future.
61 - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib.
62 - added stability canary support.
63
641.4 Sun May 29 17:17:01 CEST 2011
65 - avoid a classical buffer overflow in case a progress
66 message is too long.
67 - this release adds dependencies for snprintf/vsnprintf.
3 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line 68 - some uuencode encoders do not generate a final "space" line
4 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there. 69 before the "end" marker, so do not rely on the line to be there.
