I don't quote changelogs for release 3.00 and 3.01, because those entry
only mention taking over maintainership.
Version 2.117 (2001/08/20)
The terms-of-use have been placed in the distribution file "COPY-
ING". Also, small documentation tweaks were made.
Version 2.116 (2001/08/17)
Added long-overdue patch which makes the instance method form of
send() do the right thing when given HOW... arguments. Thanks to
Casey West for the patch.
Version 2.114 (2001/08/16)
New special 'AUTO' content type in new()/build() tells MIME::Lite
to try and guess the type from file extension. To make use of
this, you'll want to install MIME::Types. The "AUTO" setting can
be made the default default (instead of "TEXT") if you set
"$AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE = 1, $PARANOID = 0". Thanks to Ville
SkyttE<#228> for these patches.
File::Basename is used if it is available. Thanks to Ville
SkyttE<#228> for this patch.
SMTP failures (in send_by_smtp) now add the $smtp->message to the
croak'ed exception, so if things go wrong, you get a better idea of
what and why. Thanks to Thomas R. Wyant III for the patch.
Made a subtle change to "as_string" which supposedly fixes a failed
MIME data.t test with Perl 5.004_04 on NT 4 sp6. The problem might
only exist in this old perl, but as the patch author says, not
everyone has climbed higher on the Perl ladder. Thanks to John
Gotts for the patch.
Added "contrib" directory, with MailTool.pm. Thanks to Tom Wyant
for this contribution.
Improved HTML documentation (notice the links to the individual
methods in the top menu).
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
MIME::Lite is intended as a simple, standalone module for generating (not
parsing!) MIME messages... specifically, it allows you to output a simple,
decent single- or multi-part message with text or binary attachments. It
does not require that you have the Mail:: or MIME:: modules installed.
