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)
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue with Ruby 1.9 and file encoding.
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.
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.
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.
Initial release based on Perl MIME::Types 1.003.
