in reply to (OT-ish) Changes?
in thread MIME::Lite 3.0 / MIME::Lite::Maintained

Umm, yes, thanks, mumble. There is a seperate changes file that I updated:changes.pod however I realize now that I made a typo when i did, so its a bit confusing (It should say MIME::Types, not MIME::Lite, sigh.) And I could have explained in further detail what I did. Until I get home and make the change, here is what it should say

  • Changed version string, both because the original encoding cause it to be incorrectly parsed by Perl, preventing valid version checks, and also to demarcate the different maintainer.
  • Changed code that interacts with MIME::Types so a fatal error isnt thrown when using AUTO when that module is installed. Now also will only use 1.004 or later of that module. When I have time to determine if it works with earlier versions of MIME::Types I will do so.
  • Added a test to check that the MIME::Types functionality works.
  • Slimmed down the distribution size by removing redundant copys of the documentation including the entire ./doc directory. Added instructions how to obtain this information in a readable form, either from the web or from the command line.
  • Moved CHANGES to a ./changes.pod
  • Modified README to contain a small summary of useful information about the module, and not just a text version of the main POD.
  • Added section to the documentation about how to develop patches (the test framework that MIME::Lite uses is non-standard)
  • Added section to the document to provide a single point to view the "helper" modules that MIME::Lite is designed to work with.
  • Added a comment that those with questions may find http://www.perlmonks.org a good place for advice, but only if they post the code they dont understand. ;-)

I think that about covers it. Ill update the README tonight.
