Changelog for perl-Convert-UUlib-1.8-1.19.x86_64.rpm :

* Thu Dec 17 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 1.8 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Convert-UUlib/Changes TODO: biggest timesinks: FP_fgets/getc_unlocked overall, UUInsertPartToList dominates large loads due to O(n

*2) search 1.8 Thu Dec 17 02:23:53 CET 2020 - no bugfixes in this release due to lack of known bugs, but the major changes in this release might have introduced new bugs, so watch out. - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK and use Smerge -1. - some micro-optimisations. - avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when isnerting items, which speeds up insertion by a constant factor. - improve uulist (and other) structure layout and size. - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves match speed with large usenet file lists. - use getc instead of fgetc, which makes no difference on gnu/linux. - clean up _FP symbol names toi not start with an underscore. - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked. - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp. - misc very minor code improvements. - remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft. - use flockfile, if available, for a potential but small speed gain. - speed up inner yenc decoder loop. - kentnl said that this module should no longer claim to be a simple interface to uulib, as the bunndled copy is now better maintained than the original upstream library.
* Tue Mar 17 2020 - updated to 1.71 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Convert-UUlib/Changes 1.71 Tue Mar 17 00:54:06 CET 2020 - backport to c89 (patch by Paul Howarth).
* Sun Mar 01 2020 - updated to 1.7 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Convert-UUlib/Changes 1.7 Sat Feb 29 22:07:54 CET 2020 - new function: GetFileList. - experimental perlmulticore support (see manpage). - Initialize is now a NOP and CleanUp automatically initializes again. - updated example decoder and documentation a bit. - include ecb.h to deal with compiler builtins and endianness. - some further µ-optimisations in hot code, especially for yEnc. - replace crc32 function by slice-by-16 version by Stephan Brumme, which should speed up yEnc en-/decoding. - yEnc: do not calculate two crcs per part, instead, combine the part crcs together to form the file crc. - yEnc: allow pcrc= in addition to pcrc32= for yenc trailers, as some draft mentions both and it is actually in active use. - yEnc: ignore crc32= on multiparts, except on the last part, which avoids spurious corruption warnings. - be more precise in documenting code licenses in COPYING. - convert constant creation to the method I normally use. - use common::sense.
* Tue Feb 18 2020 - updated to 1.62 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Convert-UUlib/Changes 1.62 Mon Feb 17 23:19:42 CET 2020 - major performance improvement by simplifying code in _FP_gets to not use fscanf. This might slow things down on platforms with very slow fgetc. 1.61 Sun Feb 9 18:38:29 CET 2020 - lint uulib: fix some format string type mismatches and some other minor issues.
* Sat Nov 09 2019 - Add manual license GPL-1.0-or-later to cpanspec.yml (see COPYING file in the source)
* Fri Oct 25 2019 Tina Mueller - Regenerate spec with newest cpanspec
* Add manual dependencies to cpanspec.yml
* Fri Oct 25 2019 - updated to 1.6 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Convert-UUlib/Changes 1.6 Thu Oct 24 17:11:54 CEST 2019 - fix heap overflow (testcase by Noel Duffy, reported by Robert Scheck). The defense-in-depth mechanism based on mmap should make this unexploitable for other than denial of service, on systems supporting mmap/mprotect.
* Tue Sep 25 2018 pmonrealgonzalezAATTsuse.com- update to 1.4 - fix a heap overflow (testcase by Krzysztof Wojtaś). - on systems that support it (posix + mmap + map_anonymous), allocate all dynamic areas via mmap and put four guard pages around them, to catch similar heap overflows safely in the future. - find a safer way to pass in CC/CFLAGS to uulib. - added stability canary support.
* Wed Oct 08 2014 jengelhAATTinai.de- Use source URLs, and remove old specfile tags and sections.
* Fri Nov 18 2011 cooloAATTsuse.com- use original .tar.gz
