|
3 | TODO: biggest timesinks: FP_fgets/getc_unlocked overall, UUInsertPartToList dominates large loads due to O(n**2) search |
|
|
4 | TODO: UUGetFilename should understand yenc subject lines |
|
|
5 | |
|
|
6 | - when parsing yenc encoded files, file size and some other data was converted |
|
|
7 | using atoi, confusing the decoder for files >2G. |
|
|
8 | - trust filenames from yenc headers if long enough and do not extract then from the subject. |
|
|
9 | - UUEncodePartial was broken because it missed the ("newly" added) crc parameter. |
|
|
10 | - remove some pre-c99 support. |
|
|
11 | - call abort in some code that should not be reached. |
|
|
12 | - exported extensions used by the perl interface in uudeview.h, so it |
|
|
13 | no longer includes uuint.h. |
|
|
14 | - compile whole uulib as single .c file. |
|
|
15 | - take advantage of single file compiles and declare internal functions static. |
|
|
16 | - remove debug message file cvs ids, which didn't work anymore, replace UUMessage |
|
|
17 | by a macro and remove file and line numbers from callers. |
|
|
18 | - mark some more functions as static. |

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