5 Documentation fixes by Paul Croome <Paul.Croome@softwareag.com>.
9 2004-01-08 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
13 Fix 'gcc -Wall' complaints.
17 2003-10-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
23 Don't rely on SvEND(sv) == '\0' as discussed in the perl5-porters
24 mailing list thread that starts with
25 http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-10/msg00258.html
27 Should now pass test suite even without XS support.
29 Perl v5.005 or better is now required.
33 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
37 decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace
38 between the '=' and the '\n'.
42 2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
46 decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
47 Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.
49 Win32 fix for t/warn.t by Reini Urban <rurban@x-ray.at>.
53 2003-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
57 Fix up INSTALLDIRS for perl-5.8 and newer.
61 2003-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
65 Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by
66 resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be
67 able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism
68 does not seems suitable for XS code.
70 Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line
73 Sync up with changes in bleadperl:
74 - safer patchlevel.h include
79 2003-01-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
83 Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
84 made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
85 an infinite loop on certain inputs.
89 2003-01-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
93 Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
94 sequence was followed by digits.
96 Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
99 The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
100 was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
101 This problem has been fixed.
105 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
109 MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
110 which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
111 line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
112 is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
114 The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
115 same way as encode_base64() does.
117 Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
118 \r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
119 more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
121 Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.
125 2002-12-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
129 Sync up with bleadperl:
130 - Documentation update
133 - Improved Unicode support
136 Improved version of the old_{en,de}code_base64 functions
137 contributed by Paul Szabo <psz@maths.usyd.edu.au>.
141 2001-02-23 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
145 Speed up pure perl base64 encoder/decoder by using join/map instead
146 of while loop. Contributed by Arno Beckmann <arno@gmx.de>
148 Doc update contributed by Jerrad Pierce <belg4mit@CALLOWAY.MIT.EDU>
150 Downgrade UTF8 strings before starting to encode.
154 1999-02-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
158 Fixed bogus "Premature end of base64 data" warning. Bug spotted
159 by Dwayne Jacques Fontenot.
161 Workaround for Redhat shipping trial releases of perl.
165 1998-12-18 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
169 A tweak that should make compilation with some old perl5.00[23]
172 A cast that make some compilers more happy.
176 1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
180 The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because
181 all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_".
185 1998-10-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
189 Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%.
191 Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little.
195 1998-10-21 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
199 Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64()
200 function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested
201 on Linux, i586, gcc -O2.
205 1998-07-15 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
209 The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp
210 (not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This
211 actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'.
215 1998-01-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
219 The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the
220 result string when the trailing "==" padding was missing in the string to
223 The encode_base64() now allocate one byte less space in the result
228 1997-12-02 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
232 Documentation expanded a bit.
236 1997-07-10 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
240 Decode_base64() doesn't croak on premature ended data any more.
241 A warning is generated instead if running under -w.
245 1997-06-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
249 QuotedPrint fix by Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>:
251 - Long lines were not broken unless they're at the beginning
254 - Lines near but not over 76 chars were broken when they
259 1997-06-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
263 Base64.xs: Avoid type convertion warnings with some compilers
265 Minor documentation updates

271 Release 2.00, based on libwww-perl-5.08.
