MIME::Types 1.18 / 2012-03-20

• New MIME Types:

  • Types reported in Issue #6 (github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/6):

    • CoffeeScript (text/x-coffeescript; .coffee; 8bit).

    • AIR (application/vnd.adobe.air-applicationinstaller-package+zip, .air; base64).

    • WOFF (application/font-woff; .woff; base64).

    • TrueType (application/x-font-truetype; .ttf; base64).

    • OpenType (application/x-font-opentype; .otf; base64).

  • WebM (audio/webm, video/webm; .webm). Issue #11 (github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/11).

• New extensions:

  • f4v/f4p (video/mp4, used by Adobe); f4a/fb4 (audio/mp4, used by Adobe).

• Bug Fixes:

  • It was pointed out that Licence.txt was incorrectly named. Fixed by renaming to Licence.rdoc (from Issue/Pull Request #8, github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/8).

  • It was pointed out that a plan to have the test output generated automatically never went through. Issue #10 (github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/10)

MIME::Types 1.17.2 / 2011-10-25

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue with Ruby 1.9 and file encoding.

MIME::Types 1.17.1 / 2011-10-23

• Minor Enhancements:

  • Implemented modern ‘hoe’ semantics.

  • Switched to minitest instead of test/unit.

  • Converted documentation from .txt to .rdoc.

  • Removed setup.rb. (Issue #3: github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/3).

  • Should no longer complain about missing RubyGems keys (Issue #2: github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/2).

  • Added .mp4 and .mpg4 as recognized extensions for {application,audio,video}/mp4 per RFC4337. (Issue #1: github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/1).

  • Added audio/x-aac and .aac per RubyForge issue #28054 (rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=28054&group_id=293&atid=1194).

  • Made it much easier to update MIME types from this point forward.

  • Updated MIME types from IANA.

MIME::Types 1.16

• 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.

MIME::Types 1.15

• 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.

MIME::Types 1.13.1

• 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.

MIME::Types 1.13

! 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.

MIME::Types 1.07

• 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.

MIME::Types 1.005

• 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.

MIME::Types 1.004

• 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.

MIME::Types 1.003

• Initial release based on Perl MIME::Types 1.003.
