VERSION 0.6.0-cvs
=================

2004-10-21  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * A _LOT_ of cleaning/refactoring in VMime code:

      - got rid of field types (only using field names now).

      - removed iterators on 'header', 'text', 'addressList', 'mailboxGroup',
        'propertySet' and 'bodyPart': use access functions instead (iterators
        made the code difficult to understand). You can always use standard
        iterators on the container returned by getFieldList(), and so on.

      - migrated to get/set convention for accessors (most of time, just add
        'get' or 'set' before method name, depending on what it does).

      - dropped 'comp_t' typedef on 'datetime' (useless).

      - moved a lot of code from header (.hpp) to implementation files (.cpp).

      - made all objects cloneable and copiable at the 'component' level:
        methods component::clone() and component::copyFrom().

      - made a 'typeAdapter' to allow using fondamental/no-vmime types in
        header field and parameter values.

      - implicit 'operator=' on header fields to set value is not allowed
        anymore: use setValue() instead or you will get a std::bad_cast
        exception.

      - 'textParameter' renamed to 'defaultParameter'.

      - vmime::makeWordsFromText() is now vmime::text::newFromString().

      - changed a lot of return type value from reference to pointer, to
        to avoid confusion.

2004-10-05  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * added clone() method on 'component' object.

2004-09-09  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * IMAPFolder.cpp: fixed rename(): folder name is now updated.

2004-08-21  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * charset.cpp: workaround (hack?) for different 'iconv' prototypes (they
   may differ in the second parameter being 'const' or not).

2004-08-20  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * renamed "messaging/folderPath" to "utility/path" for common use in
   "messaging/folder" and "utility/file".

 * moved "stream" and "stringProxy" into "utility" namespace.

 * started to write some "JavaDoc-like" comments, for use with Doxygen.

2004-08-18  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * stringProxy.hpp: fixed stringProxy::it_end() which returned wrong
   value (typo...).

2004-07-26  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * fileAttachment: fixed the encoding param (not set to default anymore)
   and provided a new constructor to specify your own encoding.

2004-07-22  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * wide-char support is disabled by default. To enable, set the flag
   "with_wide_char_support=yes" on the SCons command line.

2004-07-08  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * renamed messaging/POP3*, messaging/IMAP* and messaging/SMTP* classes
   to follow the same convention as other class names.

2004-07-03  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * moved some files to "utility" subdirectory ("vmime::utility" namespace).


VERSION 0.5.1
=============

2004-06-15  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * contentHandler, htmlTextPart: Fixed some compilation issues with
   g++ version < 3.4:
   [error: declaration of `const vmime::encoding& encoding() const'
    changes meaning of `encoding' from `class vmime::encoding'].

 * Fixed errors in SConstruct with Windows NT (2k, XP...).


VERSION 0.5.0
=============

2004-05-26  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * added methods receiveRaw() and sendRaw() on vmime::socket object. Do not
   forget to implement it, or you will get a compile error.

2004-05-21  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * added some unit tests in the "tests" directory. To run all the tests, 'cd'
   to the "tests" directory, compile test programs by running "make" and then
   execute the "run-tests.sh" script.

 * charset: added a convert() function to perform stream conversion.

2004-05-18  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * encoder*: updated all encoders so they use input streams and output
   streams instead of a in-memory string. You can use the stream adapters
   (inputStreamStringAdapter and outputStreamStringAdapter) for your code
   to continue working the old-fashioned way...

2004-05-17  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging/transport.hpp: added a "size" parameter to send() function.

2004-05-16  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * body: body contents and data in text parts are now handled via a
   proxy object: contentHandler. This allow more flexibility, including
   providing data from an input stream instead of storing whole data in
   memory into a string object. This also provide a big performance and
   memory usage improvement. For more information, please see the comments
   in the file "contentHandler.hpp".

2004-05-15  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * all files: modified the parsing in depth (not using iterators anymore),
   the code is clearer and faster.

 * IMAPutils.cpp: corrected a bug (typo) in IMAPutils::dateTime().

2004-05-13  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * all files: added a generate() method on vmime::component to generate
   objects into an output stream (outputStream). This offers a large
   performance and memory usage improvement when generating big messages.

 * stream.cpp/.hpp: new objects "inputStream" and "outputStream" to
   provide more flexibility than with standard C++ streams. There are
   also adapters for standard i/o streams, provided for compatibility.


VERSION 0.4.2
=============

2004-05-08  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging: added a system of event notification (message change,
   folder renamed, etc...). For more information about this, please
   consult "src/messaging/events.hpp".

2004-05-03  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging: added a lot of useful features to message stores
   (set/get message flags, message deletion, copy, rename folder,
   adding messages, unique identifiers, MIME part/header fetch,
   partial fetch...).

2004-04-30  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging/message.hpp: added a fetchPartHeader() method to
   extract the header of a specific MIME part.

2004-04-25  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * all files: removed (illegal) extra ';' after namespace
   declarations.

 * all files: fixed some compilation errors with g++-3.4 (the
   parser is more strict and more standard-compliant).

2004-04-24  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging/*: splitted "progressListener" into two objects:
   "progressionListener" and "timeoutHandler". The last one is
   used internally in VMime. The "progressionListener" parameter
   is no more passed as argument to the constructor of a "service"
   object. Instead, it can be given in argument to the functions
   that use it:
     - message::extract[Part]()
     - folder::fetchMessages()
     - transport::send()

2004-04-04  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging/folder.hpp: added a (optional) parameter "recursive"
   to getFolders() to allow enumeration of all sub-folders
   (that is, direct and indirect).

2004-04-03  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging/authenti[fi]cationInfos: renamed class
   'authentificationInfos' to 'authenticationInfos'.

 * exception.hpp: renamed class 'authentification_error' to
   'authentication_error'.

 * messaging/SMTPtransport: renamed 'options.need-authentification'
   to 'options.need-authentication'.

2004-04-02  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * added basic IMAP support. This is EXPERIMENTAL.

2004-03-25  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messaging::folder::path: changed type of 'component' from 'string'
   to 'word' to allow multiple charsets to be used in a path.

 * implemented a noop() command on vmime::messaging::service class.

 * messageParser.cpp: it is now possible to get more information on an
   attachment using the "Content-Disposition" (use the attachmentInfo()
   fonction to retrieve the "Content-Disposition" field related to
   the attachment).


VERSION 0.4.1
=============

2004-03-24  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

  * SMTPtransport.cpp: fixed a bug in send().


VERSION 0.4.0
=============

2004-02-19  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * mailboxGroup.cpp: fixed a segfault when generating() an empty group
   (eg. "undisclosed-recipient").

2004-02-17  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * === MAJOR CHANGE === Removed old "network features". Now, this is called
   "messaging system" and a new (incompatible) interface is provided.

2003-12-30  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * encoderFactory.cpp/.hpp: added stuff to allow iterating through
   registered encoders.

 * encoder*.cpp/.hpp: changed the way options/results are set in encoders:
   now, a vmime::propertySet is used. This provides more flexibility.

2003-12-25  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * constants.cpp/.hpp: media types constants: removed "sub" namespace and
   translated "sub::[TYPE]::[SUBTYPE]" to "[TYPE]_[SUBTYPE]".

2003-12-08  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * constants.cpp/.hpp, dateTime.cpp/.hpp: translated all constants/enums
   from lower-case to upper-case letters.

2003-12-04  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * Created a new class for singleton. Derived all concerned class from
   this new class. This concerns: "encoderFactory", "headerFieldFactory",
   "parameterFactory", "options" and "textPartFactory".

2003-12-02  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * Moved to SCons building system (http://www.scons.org/) and dropped old
   autoconf/automake system. Type 'scons' to build the library and use
   'scons install' to install it on your system.

2003-12-01  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * mailboxGroup.cpp: fixed a bug in typeid() comparison: changed
   "typeid(parsedAddress)" to "typeid(*parsedAddress)" to test the
   object dynamic type (the previous test was always false).


VERSION 0.3.5
=============

2003-10-24  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * included some sample programs in the "examples/" directory. For a more
   complete documentation, please visit: http://www.kisli.com/vmime/doc/ .

 * all files: it is not possible to create header fields directly anymore
   (ie. you cannot call the constructor directly); instead, you should use
   the "headerFieldFactory" object.


VERSION 0.3.4
=============

2003-10-05  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * all files: changed all calls 'std::isspace(???)' to '[vmime::]isspace(???)'
   since no locale was passed (anyway, no locale is needed: text is ASCII).

2003-10-04  Kai Stammerjohann  <orp@uni.de>

 * included a Visual C++ 7 solution/project for vmime: see "vmime.sln" and
   "vmime.vcproj" in the root directory.


VERSION 0.3.3
=============

2003-09-22  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * moved all constants (media types, charsets...) from base.cpp/.hpp to new
   files constants.cpp/.hpp.

2003-09-21  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messageBuilder.cpp (construct): fixed algorithm for generating text parts.
   Single and multiple text parts, with or without attachments are now handled
   correctly (as recommended by the RFCs).

 * bodyPart.cpp/.hpp, body.cpp/.hpp, header.cpp/.hpp: added clone() and
   operator=() functions to be able to duplicate body parts.

 * messageParser.cpp (findTextParts): handled the case in which the message
   is not "multipart/*": we use the main part if its type is "text/*".

 * messageParser.cpp (destructor): added code for deleting the text parts
   created by the findTextParts() function.


VERSION 0.3.2
=============

2003-09-19  Bevan Collins  <bcollins@ihug.co.nz>

 * encoderQP.cpp: fixed a bug in quoted-printable encoding: "=20\r\n" is
   appended to the line ending with a space.

2003-09-13  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * charset.cpp/.hpp: dropped internal conversion from charset name (string) to
   charset type (enum). We keep only the name of the charset.

 * base.cpp/.hpp: added string constants for some charsets.

2003-09-12  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messageParser.cpp (findAttachments): fixed the search for attachment
   parts. The right test is "cdf.value().name() != dispositionTypes::_inline"
   and not "cdf.value().name() != dispositionTypes::attachment"...

2003-09-11  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * plainTextPart.cpp/htmlTextPart.cpp: fixed a bug in parse(): when getting
   the "charset" parameter, "no_such_parameter" exception was not caught if
   the parameter was not present.

2003-09-06  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * base.cpp: added a special case when encoding to Quoted-Printable: lines
   are no more limited to 76 characters (the maximum length recommended by
   the RFC) if maxLineLength == lineLengthLimits::infinite. However, this
   SHOULD NOT be used when generating mails (not RFC compliant).


VERSION 0.3.1
=============

2003-08-24  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * mailbox.hpp: added "const" functions for name() and email().

2003-07-26  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * charset.cpp: fixed a bug in "charset::iconvert()". Also, the
   conversion is now done using a buffer, and not in one block.

2003-07-24  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

  * receiveProtocol[POP3].hpp/.cpp: a socket factory can now be passed in
    argument to the constructor so that it is possible to override the
    use of the default factory (set in vmime::platformDependantHandler).


VERSION 0.3.0
=============

2003-07-21  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * configure.in: changed 'libdir' to install lib files in {PREFIX}/lib
   instead of {PREFIX}/lib/vmime. However, include files remain in the
   {PREFIX}/include/vmime directory.

2003-06-28  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * base.hpp/.cpp: changed the return type of "libname()" and "libversion()"
   from "string::value_type*" to "string".

2003-06-16  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * platformDependant.hpp: added "getSocketFactory()" function to be used
   with the new network features.

 * configure.in: modified the file to permit passing arguments to
   the "configure" script:
     . --disable-net: disable network support (new in 0.3.0)
     . --enable-debug: enable debug mode (not used for now)

 * started version 0.3.0: added network features: connection to mail
   servers via POP3, IMAP... Related classes: "receiveProtocol*",
   "serverInfos" and "socket", an abstract socket class.


VERSION 0.2.1
=============

2003-05-28  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messageId.cpp: added "vmime." at the beginning of random-generated
   message-ids (to make them more unique).

2003-05-26  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * all source files: replaced "_VMIME_xxxxx_HPP_INCLUDED_" macros with
   "VMIME_xxxxx_HPP_INCLUDED". Names beginning with "_" (underscore) and
   followed by an uppercase letter are reserved to the implementation
   (see the C++ standard: 17.4.3.1.2 Global names).


VERSION 0.2.0
=============

2003-05-18  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * messageParser.cpp: added a message parser (to be used parallely with
   messageBuilder). Extraction of attachment, plain text parts and HTML
   text parts (with embedded objects) is supported.

2003-05-09  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * body.cpp (generate): the default prolog & epilog text (as defined
   in vmime::options) are not written anymore in sub-parts (only for
   the "root" part). Added a "isRoot" member to vmime::header.

2003-05-08  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * encoding.cpp (decide): added some code to choose "quoted-printable"
   when there are lines with more than "lineLengthLimits::convenient"
   characters (or with a '.' just after a '\n').

 * base.cpp (makeWordsFromText): enhanced algorithm.

2003-05-04  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * address.cpp, mailbox.cpp, mailboxGroup.cpp: added empty() function.

 * messageBuilder.cpp (construct): some validity checks: we now check
   there is one expeditor and at least one recipient.


VERSION 0.1.0
=============

2003-05-03  Vincent Richard  <vincent@vincent-richard.net>

 * First (beta) version released.
