| Release 0.4 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Mime4J is a flexible MIME parsing library written in Java. SAX, DOM and pull parsing |
| styles are supported. |
| |
| The 0.4 release brings a number of significant improvements in terms of |
| supported capabilities, flexibility and performance: |
| |
| * Revised and improved public API with support for pull parsing |
| |
| * Support for parsing of 'headless' messages transmitted using non SMTP |
| transports such as HTTP |
| |
| * Reduced external dependencies. Mime4j is no longer directly dependent on log4j |
| and commons-io |
| |
| * Improved parsing performance (up to 10x for large messages) |
| |
| * More comprehensive header parsing including support for RFC1864, RFC2045, |
| RFC2183, RFC2557 and RFC3066 |
| |
| * Revised packaging and exception hierarchy. MimeException now extends |
| IOException. |

| Notes |
| ----- |
| * 0.4 contains numerous API improvements and is not binary compatible with 0.3 |
| * Mime4j API is still considered unstable and is likely to change in future releases |
| * DOM support has known limitations and some roundtrip issues remain to be resolved |
| * Some low level functions are available only in the pull parser (recommended for |
| advanced users) |
