Revision history for Perl extension Mail::POP3Client.
This is version 2.6 of Mail::POP3Client.
2.6 2000/02/15
+ some servers were not sending any message after the +OK for
DELE and RSET. Changed regexps to account for this.
2.5 1999/12/19
+ Added ListArray to return an indexed array of results of the
List command. Indexes are the server's message numbers,
beginning at 1. Additional info supplied by the server
beyond message size may be lost. The RFC discourages
servers from sending this info.
+ yet another EOF fix (this one for Head(msgnum,linecount))
where the read would end prematurely if the message had a
line with a period at the beginning of a line (would return
less than the number of lines requested).
2.4 1999/11/20
+ fixed problem created by previous fix. Lines that had only
a . on them were treated as the end of message (since the
test was after stripping the . added by the POP3 server).
Thanks to Christophe Wolfhugel @ oleane.net.
2.3 1999/10/11
+ fixed problem where lines beginning with '.' in a mail
message were not having the extra '.' removed. The POP3
server adds this '.' to escape the original '.' so that it
is not interpreted as the end of message marker. Pointed
out by Jim Osborne @ Wingra.com.
2.2 1999/10/10
+ fixed problem with MacPerl and lingering CR/LF chars on the
socket.
2.1 1999/08/19
+ moved all socket IO to 2 methods to allow debug to print all
socket IO. (mitra@earth.path.net)
+ fixed some places where you could get an empty string
returned as an error when calling from an array context.
Now returns nothing (false for both array and scalar
context).
+ defaults to APOP (digest) as authentication mode. Will
switch to PASS (cleartext) if server does not claim to
support APOP. This will mean less passwords sent in
cleartext.
+ fixed example in the Synopsis section (missing argument to
Head).
+ added a simple documentation line for Uidl
2.00 1999/04/29 - major rebuild, including:
+ changed to hash-style constructor. See the inline doco.
This will be the only supported constructor in later
versions.
+ changed underlying socket code to use IO::Socket. Timeout
settings on the socket are now supported so you can make
sure that POP accesses do not hang.
+ added tests (use POPTESTACCOUNT environment variable to use:
'% POPTESTACCOUNT=userid:password:host make test')
+ module passes strict
+ you can construct a Mail::POP3Client object which does not
auto-connect (by not passing in a USER and PASSWORD) and
then connect manually
1.23 1999/04/16
+ fixed bug in Head when optional number of lines is not passed,
set to zero if undefined or non-numeric (submitted by Bjoern
Kriews <bkr@cut.de>)
1.22 1999/04/15
+ change Retrieve to return HeadAndBody. It was using too
much memory by building both an array and a string to
return.
1.21 1999/04/08
+ add SYNOPSIS info for perldoc.
+ add support for previewing messages using second integer
argument to Head, as in $pop->Head( 0, 10 ), which would get
the headers and the first 10 lines of the body for message
0. Contributed by Dennis Moroney <dennis@hub.iwl.net>
+ convert prints to carps.
+ change local to my.
1.19 198/12/04
+ added basic APOP support patches from Gerhard Gonter
<gonter@falbala.wu-wien.ac.at>. Login does not currently
auto-detect APOP on the server.
1.18 1998/12/04
+ fixed typo in Body ($$line = ...)
+ remove set of $\
+ once again, fix the distribution (this time I built it on a
Unix box. Thanks to Terry Sigle.)
1.17 1998/11
+ fixed newline/carriage return problem in distribution.
1.16 1998/09
+ replaced all occurences of chop with chomp. Should make it
more compatible on machines like the Mac.
+ Removed all uses of $_ =. Uses locally declared variables
now.
+ Now compiles with no warnings.
