Version 4.3.79 - April 2005, by Bruce Korb

* rewrote the temporary file handling in unshar to avoid both a theoretical
  timing hole (hitting it requires cooperation) and a buffer overrun
  attack (a file name exceeding 1K).
* new translations and updates.  They are all now missing two messages:
  "allocate file name buffer" and "allocate file buffer".  *sigh*.

Version 4.3.60 - June 2002, by Karl Eichwalder

* Provide a 'compress-dummy' script.  Install it if 'compress' isn't
  available.  Create a link 'compress' pointing to 'compress-dummy';
  thus it is possible to unshar legacy shar files calling
  'compress -d'.

* shar: Don't offer '-Z' resp. '--compress' if the system doesn't
  support 'compress'.
