2010-10-24 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.11
Provide encode_base64url and decode_base64url functions to process
the base64 scheme for "URL applications".
The decode_base64() does not issue warnings on suspect input data
any more.
2010-10-11 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.10
Provide functions to calculate the length of encoded and decoded
base64 strings [RT#62404]
2010-01-25 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.09
The Quoted-Printable encoder would sometimes output lines
that were 77 characters long. The max line length should be 76.
[RT#53919]
2009-06-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.08
Jarkko Hietaniemi (1):
EBCDIC changes from core
Nicholas Clark (1):
Get rid of the PERL_CORE hacks
2005-11-30 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.07
Use a Makefile.PL that is also suitable for core perl.
2005-11-26 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.06
Documentation tweaks.
use XSLoader; perl-5.6 now required.
Some consting from bleadperl.
Unbundled the {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.
These are now found in the MIME-Base64-Scripts package.
2004-09-20 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.05
Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com> found the warn test broken
on Windows and provided a fix.
2004-09-18 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.04
Fixed the bad-sv.t test script to actually contain the
correct expected result as of v3.02.
2004-08-25 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.03
Forgot to increment version number in MIME::QuotedPrint even
if its interface changed in 3.02. As a result you will now
need to require MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 if you want to ensure
it provides the binmode interface.
2004-08-24 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.02
The encode_qp() function now takes an optional third argument
to select binary encoding mode.
<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7456>
The result of encode_qp($non_empty, $eol) will now always be
$eol terminated. If the string to encode does not end with "\n"
then a soft line break is appended to the result. As an example
encode_qp("foo") used to be encoded as "foo", but now encodes as
"foo=\n".
2004-03-29 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.01
By compiling the extension with PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT we can
make it slightly faster on a threaded perl. No change on a
regular perl. Patch provided by Beau E. Cox <beau@beaucox.com>.
Fixed missing ";" with assert. Patch provided by
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org>.
2004-01-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 3.00
Drop the pure Perl implementations of the encoders and
decoders. They are bloat that hides real problems in
the XS implementations. I will re-release them separately
in the new MIME-Base64-Perl distribution.
The 'gcc -Wall' fix in 2.22 broke support for perl5.005,
as the isXDIGIT() macro is not available in that perl.
This problem has now been fixed.
2004-01-08 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.23
Documentation fixes by Paul Croome <Paul.Croome@softwareag.com>.
2004-01-08 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.22
Fix 'gcc -Wall' complaints.
2003-10-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.21
Documentation tweaks.
Don't rely on SvEND(sv) == '\0' as discussed in the perl5-porters
mailing list thread that starts with
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-10/msg00258.html
Should now pass test suite even without XS support.
Perl v5.005 or better is now required.
2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.20
decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace
between the '=' and the '\n'.
2003-05-13 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.19
decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.
Win32 fix for t/warn.t by Reini Urban <rurban@x-ray.at>.
2003-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.18
Fix up INSTALLDIRS for perl-5.8 and newer.
2003-03-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.17
Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings by
resetting $^W in recent perls. Would really like to be
able to do real lexical warnings but the current mechanism
does not seems suitable for XS code.
Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line
breaks as well.
Sync up with changes in bleadperl:
- safer patchlevel.h include
- bad cast
2003-01-05 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.16
Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
an infinite loop on certain inputs.
2003-01-03 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.15
Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
sequence was followed by digits.
Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
that need escaping.
The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
This problem has been fixed.
2003-01-01 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.14
MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
same way as encode_base64() does.
Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
\r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.
2002-12-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.13
Sync up with bleadperl:
- Documentation update
- EBCDIC support
- Whitespace tweaks
- Improved Unicode support
- Test suite tweaks
Improved version of the old_{en,de}code_base64 functions
contributed by Paul Szabo <psz@maths.usyd.edu.au>.
2001-02-23 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 2.12
Speed up pure perl base64 encoder/decoder by using join/map instead
of while loop. Contributed by Arno Beckmann <arno@gmx.de>
Doc update contributed by Jerrad Pierce <belg4mit@CALLOWAY.MIT.EDU>
Downgrade UTF8 strings before starting to encode.
1999-02-27 Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>
Release 2.11
Fixed bogus "Premature end of base64 data" warning. Bug spotted
by Dwayne Jacques Fontenot.
Workaround for Redhat shipping trial releases of perl.
1998-12-18 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.10
A tweak that should make compilation with some old perl5.00[23]
perls better.
A cast that make some compilers more happy.
1998-11-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.09
The 2.08 release did not compile with perl5.005_53, because
all simple globals now need to be prefixed with "PL_".
1998-10-22 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.08
Found another tweak to speed up decode_base64() with another 3%.
Improved MIME::Base64 documentation a little.
1998-10-21 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.07
Faster and smarter C implementation of the decode_base64()
function. The new decode_base64() was 25% faster when tested
on Linux, i586, gcc -O2.
1998-07-15 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.06
The decode_base64() implemented in pure perl will only carp
(not croak) if length of data to decode is not a multiple 4. This
actually made 'make test' fail after 'rm Base64.xs'.
1998-01-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.05
The decode_base64() would previously allocate a too short buffer for the
result string when the trailing "==" padding was missing in the string to
be decoded.
The encode_base64() now allocate one byte less space in the result
strings returned.
1997-12-02 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.04
Documentation expanded a bit.
1997-07-10 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.03
Decode_base64() doesn't croak on premature ended data any more.
A warning is generated instead if running under -w.
1997-06-27 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.02
QuotedPrint fix by Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>:
- Long lines were not broken unless they're at the beginning
of the text
- Lines near but not over 76 chars were broken when they
shouldn't be
1997-06-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.01
Base64.xs: Avoid type convertion warnings with some compilers
Minor documentation updates
1997-04-24 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
Release 2.00, based on libwww-perl-5.08.
