2015-01-12 Gisle Aas
Release 3.15
Avoid compilation warnings on Windows.
Restore compatibility with perl-5.4
2013-07-02 Gisle Aas
Release 3.14
Install to 'site' instead of 'perl' when perl version is 5.12+
2010-10-26 Gisle Aas
Release 3.13
The fix in v3.12 to try to preserve the SvUTF8 flag was buggy
and actually managed to set the flag on strings that did not
have it originally.
2010-10-25 Gisle Aas
Release 3.12
Don't change SvUTF8 flag on the strings encoded [RT#60105]
Documentation tweaks
2010-10-24 Gisle Aas
Release 3.11
Provide encode_base64url and decode_base64url functions to process
the base64 scheme for "URL applications".
The decode_base64() does not issue warnings on suspect input data
any more.
2010-10-11 Gisle Aas
Release 3.10
Provide functions to calculate the length of encoded and decoded
base64 strings [RT#62404]
2010-01-25 Gisle Aas
Release 3.09
The Quoted-Printable encoder would sometimes output lines
that were 77 characters long. The max line length should be 76.
[RT#53919]
2009-06-09 Gisle Aas
Release 3.08
Jarkko Hietaniemi (1):
EBCDIC changes from core
Nicholas Clark (1):
Get rid of the PERL_CORE hacks
2005-11-30 Gisle Aas
Release 3.07
Use a Makefile.PL that is also suitable for core perl.
2005-11-26 Gisle Aas
Release 3.06
Documentation tweaks.
use XSLoader; perl-5.6 now required.
Some consting from bleadperl.
Unbundled the {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.
These are now found in the MIME-Base64-Scripts package.
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 conversion warnings with some compilers
Minor documentation updates
1997-04-24 Gisle Aas
Release 2.00, based on libwww-perl-5.08.
