5 decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace
6 between the '=' and the '\n'.
10 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
14 decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
15 Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.

33 Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by
34 resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be
35 able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism
36 does not seems suitable for XS code.
38 Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line

51 Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
52 made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
53 an infinite loop on certain inputs.
57 2003-01-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
61 Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
62 sequence was followed by digits.
64 Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
67 The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
68 was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
69 This problem has been fixed.
73 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
77 MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
78 which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
79 line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
80 is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
82 The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
83 same way as encode_base64() does.
85 Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
86 \r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
87 more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
89 Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.

144 1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
148 The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because
149 all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_".

157 Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%.
159 Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little.
163 1998-10-21 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
167 Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64()
168 function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested
169 on Linux, i586, gcc -O2.
173 1998-07-15 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
177 The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp
178 (not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This
179 actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'.
183 1998-01-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
187 The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the
