5 decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
6 Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.

24 Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by
25 resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be
26 able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism
27 does not seems suitable for XS code.
29 Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line
32 Sync up with changes in bleadperl:
33 - safer patchlevel.h include

42 Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
43 made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
44 an infinite loop on certain inputs.
48 2003-01-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
52 Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
53 sequence was followed by digits.
55 Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
58 The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
59 was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
60 This problem has been fixed.
64 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
68 MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
69 which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
70 line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
71 is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
73 The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
74 same way as encode_base64() does.
76 Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
77 \r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
78 more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
80 Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.

128 A tweak that should make compilation with some old perl5.00[23]
131 A cast that make some compilers more happy.
135 1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
139 The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because
140 all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_".

148 Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%.
150 Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little.
154 1998-10-21 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
158 Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64()
159 function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested
160 on Linux, i586, gcc -O2.
164 1998-07-15 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
168 The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp
169 (not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This
170 actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'.
174 1998-01-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
178 The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the
179 result string when the trailing "==" padding was missing in the string to
