5 Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com> found the warn test broken
6 on Windows and provided a fix.

14 Fixed the bad-sv.t test script to actually contain the
15 correct expected result as of v3.02.

23 Forgot to increment version number in MIME::QuotedPrint even
24 if its interface changed in 3.02. As a result you will now
25 need to require MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 if you want to ensure
26 it provides the binmode interface.

34 The encode_qp() function now takes an optional third argument
35 to select binary encoding mode.
36 <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7456>
38 The result of encode_qp($non_empty, $eol) will now always be
39 $eol terminated. If the string to encode does not end with "\n"
40 then a soft line break is appended to the result. As an example
41 encode_qp("foo") used to be encoded as "foo", but now encodes as

50 By compiling the extension with PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT we can
51 make it slightly faster on a threaded perl. No change on a
52 regular perl. Patch provided by Beau E. Cox <beau@beaucox.com>.
54 Fixed missing ";" with assert. Patch provided by
55 Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org>.

63 Drop the pure Perl implementations of the encoders and
64 decoders. They are bloat that hides real problems in
65 the XS implementations. I will re-release them separately
66 in the new MIME-Base64-Perl distribution.
68 The 'gcc -Wall' fix in 2.22 broke support for perl5.005,
69 as the isXDIGIT() macro is not available in that perl.
70 This problem has now been fixed.

97 mailing list thread that starts with
98 http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-10/msg00258.html
100 Should now pass test suite even without XS support.
102 Perl v5.005 or better is now required.

110 decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace
111 between the '=' and the '\n'.
115 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
119 decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
120 Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.
122 Win32 fix for t/warn.t by Reini Urban <rurban@x-ray.at>.
126 2003-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
130 Fix up INSTALLDIRS for perl-5.8 and newer.
134 2003-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
138 Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by
139 resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be
140 able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism
141 does not seems suitable for XS code.
143 Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line
146 Sync up with changes in bleadperl:
147 - safer patchlevel.h include
152 2003-01-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
156 Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
157 made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
158 an infinite loop on certain inputs.
162 2003-01-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
166 Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
167 sequence was followed by digits.
169 Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
172 The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
173 was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
174 This problem has been fixed.
178 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
182 MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
183 which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
184 line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
185 is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
187 The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
188 same way as encode_base64() does.
190 Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
191 \r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
192 more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
194 Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.

218 Speed up pure perl base64 encoder/decoder by using join/map instead
219 of while loop. Contributed by Arno Beckmann <arno@gmx.de>

223 Downgrade UTF8 strings before starting to encode.

231 Fixed bogus "Premature end of base64 data" warning. Bug spotted
232 by Dwayne Jacques Fontenot.
234 Workaround for Redhat shipping trial releases of perl.

242 A tweak that should make compilation with some old perl5.00[23]
245 A cast that make some compilers more happy.
249 1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
253 The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because
254 all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_".
258 1998-10-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
262 Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%.
264 Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little.
268 1998-10-21 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
272 Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64()
273 function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested
274 on Linux, i586, gcc -O2.
278 1998-07-15 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
282 The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp
283 (not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This
284 actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'.
288 1998-01-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
292 The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the
293 result string when the trailing "==" padding was missing in the string to
296 The encode_base64() now allocate one byte less space in the result

305 Documentation expanded a bit.
309 1997-07-10 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
313 Decode_base64() doesn't croak on premature ended data any more.
314 A warning is generated instead if running under -w.
