I am + not completely convinced that I got the correct command line switches for + BCC32. If you use Borland, you might want to double check the makefile. + +o Will handle multipart boundary parameters from nonstandard MIME + implementations that quote the boundary parameters with single quotes. + (This is in violation of the MIME++ standard.) + +o Fixed a bug where CRLF would be included in the full name part of a + mailbox if the name was quoted and split across two lines + +o DwBinhex class for performing conversion to and from Binhex 4.0 format + for Macintosh files. + +o Much of the documentation has been rewritten or brought up to date. + +o Minor changes to DwUuencode. + +o The deprecated member functions in DwString are no longer available. + + +July 26, 1997 + +o New classes in this release: + DwUuencode - for uuencode and uudecode operations + DwBoyerMoore - for BoyerMoore algorithm in string searches + DwProtocolClient - Base class for SMTP, NNTP, and POP protocol classes + DwSmtpClient - Implements client side of SMTP session + DwNntpClient - Implements client side of NNTP session + DwPopClient - Implements client side of POP session + +o Full support for Win32 with MS Visual C++ 4 or 5, and Borland C++. + +o DwHeader renamed to DwHeaders to eliminate confusion, since people usually + use the term header to refer to a single header field. + +o Compiles as a DLL under Visual C++ (default option) + +o There is a config.h file for establishing configuration options at + compile time. This is safer than requiring you to specify options as + defines in a makefile. + +o Support for namespaces. Alternatively, global enums are encapsulated + in a class declaration. + +Mar 29, 1997 + +o The class DwString has been rewritten almost from scratch and is much + closer to the specification for the ANSI string class. Eventually, it + should be possible to typedef DwString to the ANSI string class, thereby + making MIME++ entirely compatible with the standard C++ library. (I did + actually do this successfully a few weeks ago, but I have not tried it + again since the new DwString was completed.) Most of the old member + functions are now obsolete. You can still compile them if you define + the right macro (see the makefile). + +o The implementations of many classes were changed to permit them to be + used with the new DwString class. (They should also work with the + ANSI string class, if DwString is typedef-ed.) + +o The documentation is more complete. Utility functions for content + transfer encoding, end-of-line marker conversion, etc. are now included + in the HTML documentation. New tags in HTML 3.2 are used to + add color. The idea is not so much to make the man pages look snazzy; + I chose colors to make them more readable. + +Feb 6, 1997 + +o Added new class DwDispositionType, which represents a disposition-type + as described in RFC-1806. + +o Changed the name of DwContentType to DwMediaType, which conforms to usage + in RFC-2068 (HTTP) and is not incompatible with RFC-2045 and RFC-2046. + +o Changed the name of DwContentTransferEncoding to DwMechanism, which + conforms to the BNF term "mechanism" in RFC-2045. + +Jan 28, 1997 + +o Added utility functions for doing end-of-line marker conversions: + + int DwToCrLfEol(const DwString& aSrcStr, DwString& aDestStr); + int DwToLfEol(const DwString& aSrcStr, DwString& aDestStr); + int DwToCrEol(const DwString& aSrcStr, DwString& aDestStr); + int DwToLocalEol(const DwString& aSrcStr, DwString& aDestStr); + +Jan 25, 1997 + +o Parsers for entities (entity.cc) and bodies (body.cc) changed to handle + CR LF end-of-line (DOS and MIME) in addition to LF end-of-line (UNIX + and C). + +o Changed multipart body parser to correctly parse boundaries that have + white space at end of line (transport-padding, in the BNF of RFC-2046). + With this change, any line that starts with the dash-boundary will be + recognized as a boundary, even if the extraneous characters are not + white space (transport-padding). This should be okay because the MIME + spec says that the boundary should not appear in the entity. + +Jan 14, 1997 + +o The library may be compiled as a production version, a development + version, or a debug version. The production version tries to recover + from errors whenever possible: this could mean just returning silently + from a function with a bad argument value. The development version has + assert statements enabled to detect bad argument values or other + exceptional conditions. It will dump core so that you can examine + the state after termination by using a debugger. The debug version is + intended to be used when you know a bug exists and you have to find it. + In the debug version, virtually all classes have a CheckInvariants() + member function that will abort if one of the invariants in an object + is violated. The development version and production version are + link compatible -- you don't have to recompile your source, just relink + with the library. The debug version is not guaranteed to be link + compatible. + +o Added a mechanism to detect objects that are deleted more than once. + +o Some bugs were fixed. + +o Rewrote the makefile, which now includes an 'install' target to copy files + to /usr/local/include/mimepp and /usr/local/lib. + +o Removed the 'dw' prefix from most of the files. The include files are + installed into a mimepp directory. The include preprocessor lines in + the source code have the directory prefixed + (e.g. #include ). + +o Created a mimepp.h file that includes all header files required for using + the library. You can just put #include at the top of + your source code. + +Nov 17, 1996 + +o DwMessageComponent has new protected data member mClassName and new + member function ClassName(). + +o DwContentType has new convenience member function CreateBoundary(), which + applies to multipart entities only. + +o DwMessageId is now DwMsgId, which conforms to the RFC-822 BNF grammar. + +o Lots of changes to DwHeader. + + + DwHeader::Interpret() is gone. It's been replaced by + DwField::CreateFieldBody(). + + + Access to all RFC-822, RFC-1036, and RFC-1521 header fields via + member functions (DwHeader::To(), DwHeader::From(), ...). + + + New member functions to test for the presence of standard header fields. + (DwHeader::HasTo(), DwHeader::HasFrom(), ...). + + + Various other changes to DwHeader's interface, mostly dealing with + adding or removing fields. (Advanced functions.) + +o Added member function CreateFieldBody() to DwField. + +o Improvements to the wrapper classes used in the examples. + +o New wrapper class MessageWithAttachments, used in Example 5 (exampl05.cc). + +o The documentation now includes a tutorial. + +o All *.h files have been extensively commented. These files will serve + as a poor man's reference manual until the real reference manual is + completed. + -- cgit v1.2.1
