7 Don't rely on SvEND(sv) == '\0' as discussed in the perl5-porters

11 Should now pass test suite even without XS support.
13 Perl v5.005 or better is now required.

21 decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace
22 between the '=' and the '\n'.
26 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
30 decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
31 Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.
33 Win32 fix for t/warn.t by Reini Urban <rurban@x-ray.at>.

41 Fix up INSTALLDIRS for perl-5.8 and newer.

49 Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by
50 resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be
51 able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism
52 does not seems suitable for XS code.
54 Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line
57 Sync up with changes in bleadperl:
58 - safer patchlevel.h include
63 2003-01-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
67 Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
68 made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
69 an infinite loop on certain inputs.
73 2003-01-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
77 Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
78 sequence was followed by digits.
80 Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
83 The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
84 was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
85 This problem has been fixed.
89 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
93 MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
94 which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
95 line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
96 is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
98 The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
99 same way as encode_base64() does.
101 Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
102 \r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
103 more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
105 Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.

114 - Documentation update

129 Speed up pure perl base64 encoder/decoder by using join/map instead
130 of while loop. Contributed by Arno Beckmann <arno@gmx.de>
132 Doc update contributed by Jerrad Pierce <belg4mit@CALLOWAY.MIT.EDU>
134 Downgrade UTF8 strings before starting to encode.

142 Fixed bogus "Premature end of base64 data" warning. Bug spotted
143 by Dwayne Jacques Fontenot.
145 Workaround for Redhat shipping trial releases of perl.

153 A tweak that should make compilation with some old perl5.00[23]
156 A cast that make some compilers more happy.
160 1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
164 The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because
165 all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_".
169 1998-10-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
173 Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%.
175 Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little.
179 1998-10-21 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
183 Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64()
184 function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested
185 on Linux, i586, gcc -O2.
189 1998-07-15 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
193 The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp
194 (not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This
195 actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'.
199 1998-01-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
203 The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the
204 result string when the trailing "==" padding was missing in the string to
207 The encode_base64() now allocate one byte less space in the result
212 1997-12-02 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
216 Documentation expanded a bit.
220 1997-07-10 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
224 Decode_base64() doesn't croak on premature ended data any more.
225 A warning is generated instead if running under -w.

233 QuotedPrint fix by Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>:
235 - Long lines were not broken unless they're at the beginning
238 - Lines near but not over 76 chars were broken when they
