From: Austin Ziegler Date: 2004-04-16T23:36:45+09:00 Subject: [ANN] MIME::Types 1.13 I am pleased to announce the release of MIME::Types 1.13. http://www.halostatue.ca/ruby/MIME__Types.html http://www.halostatue.ca/files/mime-types-1.13.gem http://www.halostatue.ca/files/mime-types-1.13.tar.gz http://www.halostatue.ca/ruby/MIME__Types_doc/index.html MIME::Types is a library to make it easy to discover the MIME Content-Type based on the filename (extension) provided, similar to the results that one would get from mailcap discovery in other languages. MIME::Types is originally based on, and is generally kept in sync with, the Perl version of the same name. In MIME::Types 1.13, there have been a few API changes; one of the changes is incompatible with previous versions. This will only affect users of the library who have created custom MIME Content-Type objects. Future versions of MIME::Types will see other changes, but there are discussions surrounding the exact changes that will be made, as there are still a number of MIME Content-Types present that are not IANA-registered and are not being handled properly because of the source data. There are ways that this can be dealt with, but I am attempting to coordinate with Mark Overmeer, the author of Perl's MIME::Types. -austin -- austin ziegler * austin@halostatue.ca * Toronto, ON, Canada software designer * pragmatic programmer * 2004.04.16 * 10.06.23
