Changes for version v0.30_4 - 2001-12-13

  • THIS IS A BETA RELEASE!
  • There had been problems with mboxes under Win having UNIXish line-ending, should be fixed now (should!)
  • a speed-gain of 6% on overage when parsing a mailbox and accessing header-elements

Changes for version v0.30_3 - 2001-12-09

  • THIS IS A BETA RELEASE!
  • bugifx in MboxParser.pm: under Win each second mail was skipped (Marco Trudel <mtrudel@viviance.com>)
  • removed silly debug-print in Mail.pm
  • minor fixes of the PODs in Mail.pm (duplicate =back directive)

Changes for version v0.30_1 - 2001-12-03

  • THIS IS A BETA RELEASE!
  • I added a lot of new stuff and I can't thoroughly test them all. I really need feedback from the users now whether there are stealth-bugs in it....hmmh, bugs are always sort of stealth, aren't they?
  • Beware that store_attachement() and store_all_attachements() have been renamed to their corrected spellings. The (incorrect) old names are still there for backward-compatibility, though.
  • New things:
  • new next_message mechanism (very memory-friendly) plus needed helper-functions $mb->rewind, ->set_pos, ->current_pos
  • new get_message(n) method along with more messages dealing with file-handle positioning and reporting (suggested by Marco Trudel <mtrudel@viviance.com>)
  • get_attachment method that maps attachments to idx-nums (suggested by Marco Trudel)
  • some fixes:
    • long-header lines contained wrong number of whitespaces when decoded, fixed
    • fix of nmsgs when mailbox has already been traversed (filehandle had to be rewinded)
    • 'attachement'-typos throughout the whole module, both in method-names as well as docs (long outstanding bug reported by Kenn Frankel <kfrankel@maxstr.com>), 'get_entitities'-typo in Mail.pm docs fixed
    • Removed $^W++ even though it nicely revealed warnings raised in other modules (hehe...)
