504:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy 5 - trust filename from yenc header and do not extract it from the header.
6 is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p 6 - remove debug message file cvs id's, which didn't work anymore, replace UUMessage
704:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a 7 by a macro and remove file and line numbers from callers.
8 replacement for other things currently using the original uulib 8 - remove some pre-c99 support.
906:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at 9 - compile whole uulib als single .c file.
10 least
1106:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that.

12 - no bugfixes in this release due to lack of known bugs, but the major changes
13 in this release might have introduced new bugs, so watch out.
13 - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK dn use Smerge -1. 14 - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK and use Smerge -1.
14 - relatively minor speed increasses. 15 - some micro-optimisations.
16 - avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when isnerting items,
17 which speeds up insertion by a constant factor.
18 - improve uulist (and other) structure layout and size.
15 - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves 19 - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves
16 match speed with large usenet file lists. 20 match speed with large usenet file lists.
17 - use getc instead of fgetc. 21 - use getc instead of fgetc, which makes no difference on gnu/linux,
18 - clean up FP _symbol names. 22 but might, elsewhere.
23 - clean up _FP symbol names to not start with an underscore.
19 - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked. 24 - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked.
20 - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp. 25 - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp.
21 - misc very minor code improvements. 26 - misc very minor code improvements.
27 - remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft.
28 - use flockfile, if available, for a potential but small
29 speed gain.
30 - speed up inner yenc decoder loop.
31 - kentnl said that this module should no longer claim to be a simple
32 interface to uulib, as the bunndled copy is now better maintained
33 than the original upstream library.
