- Made compatible with Ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9.1.
- Switched to the ‘hoe’ gem system and added a lot of build-time
tools.
- Updated the MIME types to the list based
on the values in the Perl library version 1.27. Also updated based on
external source information and bug reports.
- This is the last planned version of MIME::Types 1.x. Work will be
starting soon on MIME::Types 2.x
with richer data querying mechanisms and support for external data sources.
- Removed lib/mime/type.rb to form a single MIME::Types database source. It is
unlikely that one will ever need MIME::Type without MIME::Types.
- Re-synchronized the MIME type list with
the sources, focusing primarily on the IANA list.
- Added more detailed source information for MIME::Type objects.
- Changed MIME::Types from a module
to a class with a default instance. There should be no difference in usage.
- Removed MIME::Types::DATA_VERSION; it is now an attribute on the MIME::Types instance.
- NOTE: Synchronization with the Perl version of MIME::Types is no longer a priority
as of this release. The data format and information has changed.
- Removed MIME::Types.by_suffix and MIME::Types.by_mediatype.
- Fixed a problem with the installer running tests. This now works.
- Improved the implementation of MIME::Type.signature?
- Moved code around to use the class << self idiom instead of always
prepending the module/class name.
- Added two new best-guess implementations of functions found in Perl‘s
MIME::Types implementation (1.13).
Do not rely on these until the purpose and implementation is stabilised.
- Updated the MIME list to reflect changes
noted by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>.
- Added a new constant to MIME::Types, DATA_VERSION. This will
allow the Ruby version number to be updated separately from the Perl
version while keeping the MIME Type list
version in sync.
! WARNING: This version changes the API of MIME::Types !
! WARNING: This version is compatible with Ruby 1.8 and higher ONLY !
- Removed dependency on InstallPackage; offering 1.13 as either .tar.gz or
.gem.
- Split into two files, mime/type.rb and mime/types.rb. This will make
maintaining the list of changes easier.
- Changed the MIME::Type construction
API. Accepts only a single String argument (but does no named
type-checking) and yields self.
- Removed private methods init_extensions, init_encoding, and init_system and
replaced with extensions=, encoding=, and system=.
- Added default_encoding to return ‘quoted-printable’ or
‘base64’ depending on the media type of the MIME type.
- Added raw_media_type and raw_sub_type to provide the non-simplified
versions of the media type and subtype.
- Alternative constructors MIME::Type.from_array, MIME::Type.from_hash, and
MIME::Type.from_mime_type added to compensate for the removal of named type
checking in the original constructor.
- Added to_str, to_a, and to_hash methods. The latter two will provide output
suitable for use in from_array and from_hash.
- Removed "binary" encoding and enforced the use of a valid
encoding string.
- Added system? returning true if the MIME::Type is an OS-specific MIME::Type.
- Added platform? returning true if the MIME::Type is an OS-specific MIME::Type for the current
RUBY_PLATFORM.
- Added like? returning true if the simplified type matches the other value
provided.
#<’application/x-excel’>.like?(‘application/excel’)
is true.
- Added complete? returning true if the MIME::Type specifies an extension
list.
- Updated the MIME type list to reflect
additions by Mark Overmeer for Perl‘s MIME::Types 1.12 and the official
IANA list as of 2004.04.06. A number of formerly "registered" MIME types are now no longer registered
(e.g., application/excel is now application/x-excel). This ensures that the
simplified type still works with applications, but does not report an
unregistered type as registered.
- Restored MIME type list to Mark
Overmeer‘s format to facilitate easy exchange between the two
projects.
- Added additional unit tests from Mark Overmeer‘s 1.12 version.
- Changed version numbering to match Perl MIME::Types 1.07.
- Re-synchronized with Mark Overmeer‘s list in Perl PMIME::Types 1.07.
- [NN Poster] updated the attributes for the PGP types.
- Changed to Phil Thomson‘s InstallPackage.
- Added several types from Perl MIME::Types 1.005.
- Cleaned up data format; some data formats will show up with proper data
now.
- Updated to match Perl MIME::Types
1.004, links credited to Dan Puro. Adds new reference list to www.indiana.edu/cgi-bin-local/mimetypes
- Removed InvalidType and replaced with TypeError.
- Changed instances of type to class.
- Cleaned up how simplified versions are created.
