2004-09-20 Gisle Aas Release 3.05 Steve Hay found the warn test broken on Windows and provided a fix. 2004-09-18 Gisle Aas Release 3.04 Fixed the bad-sv.t test script to actually contain the correct expected result as of v3.02. 2004-08-25 Gisle Aas Release 3.03 Forgot to increment version number in MIME::QuotedPrint even if its interface changed in 3.02. As a result you will now need to require MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 if you want to ensure it provides the binmode interface. 2004-08-24 Gisle Aas Release 3.02 The encode_qp() function now takes an optional third argument to select binary encoding mode. The result of encode_qp($non_empty, $eol) will now always be $eol terminated. If the string to encode does not end with "\n" then a soft line break is appended to the result. As an example encode_qp("foo") used to be encoded as "foo", but now encodes as "foo=\n". 2004-03-29 Gisle Aas Release 3.01 By compiling the extension with PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT we can make it slightly faster on a threaded perl. No change on a regular perl. Patch provided by Beau E. Cox . Fixed missing ";" with assert. Patch provided by Brendan O'Dea . 2004-01-14 Gisle Aas Release 3.00 Drop the pure Perl implementations of the encoders and decoders. They are bloat that hides real problems in the XS implementations. I will re-release them separately in the new MIME-Base64-Perl distribution. The 'gcc -Wall' fix in 2.22 broke support for perl5.005, as the isXDIGIT() macro is not available in that perl. This problem has now been fixed. 2004-01-08 Gisle Aas Release 2.23 Documentation fixes by Paul Croome . 2004-01-08 Gisle Aas Release 2.22 Fix 'gcc -Wall' complaints. 2003-10-09 Gisle Aas Release 2.21 Documentation tweaks. Don't rely on SvEND(sv) == '\0' as discussed in the perl5-porters mailing list thread that starts with http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-10/msg00258.html Should now pass test suite even without XS support. Perl v5.005 or better is now required. 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas Release 2.20 decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace between the '=' and the '\n'. 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas Release 2.19 decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded. Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go. Win32 fix for t/warn.t by Reini Urban . 2003-03-09 Gisle Aas Release 2.18 Fix up INSTALLDIRS for perl-5.8 and newer. 2003-03-09 Gisle Aas Release 2.17 Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism does not seems suitable for XS code. Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line breaks as well. Sync up with changes in bleadperl: - safer patchlevel.h include - bad cast 2003-01-05 Gisle Aas Release 2.16 Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into an infinite loop on certain inputs. 2003-01-03 Gisle Aas Release 2.15 Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX sequence was followed by digits. Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars that need escaping. The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13 was returning undef for empty input on olders perls. This problem has been fixed. 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas Release 2.14 MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this. The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the same way as encode_base64() does. Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns \r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly. Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts. 2002-12-27 Gisle Aas Release 2.13 Sync up with bleadperl: - Documentation update - EBCDIC support - Whitespace tweaks - Improved Unicode support - Test suite tweaks Improved version of the old_{en,de}code_base64 functions contributed by Paul Szabo . 2001-02-23 Gisle Aas Release 2.12 Speed up pure perl base64 encoder/decoder by using join/map instead of while loop. Contributed by Arno Beckmann Doc update contributed by Jerrad Pierce Downgrade UTF8 strings before starting to encode. 1999-02-27 Gisle Aas Release 2.11 Fixed bogus "Premature end of base64 data" warning. Bug spotted by Dwayne Jacques Fontenot. Workaround for Redhat shipping trial releases of perl. 1998-12-18 Gisle Aas Release 2.10 A tweak that should make compilation with some old perl5.00[23] perls better. A cast that make some compilers more happy. 1998-11-13 Gisle Aas Release 2.09 The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_". 1998-10-22 Gisle Aas Release 2.08 Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%. Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little. 1998-10-21 Gisle Aas Release 2.07 Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64() function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested on Linux, i586, gcc -O2. 1998-07-15 Gisle Aas Release 2.06 The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp (not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'. 1998-01-27 Gisle Aas Release 2.05 The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the result string when the trailing "==" padding was missing in the string to be decoded. The encode_base64() now allocate one byte less space in the result strings returned. 1997-12-02 Gisle Aas Release 2.04 Documentation expanded a bit. 1997-07-10 Gisle Aas Release 2.03 Decode_base64() doesn't croak on premature ended data any more. A warning is generated instead if running under -w. 1997-06-27 Gisle Aas Release 2.02 QuotedPrint fix by Roderick Schertler : - Long lines were not broken unless they're at the beginning of the text - Lines near but not over 76 chars were broken when they shouldn't be 1997-06-13 Gisle Aas Release 2.01 Base64.xs: Avoid type convertion warnings with some compilers Minor documentation updates 1997-04-24 Gisle Aas Release 2.00, based on libwww-perl-5.08.
