| {Status} |
| |
| The 0.4 release brought a number of significant improvements in terms of |
| supported capabilities, flexibility and performance. |
| |
| The 0.5 release addressed a number of important issues discovered since |
| the 0.4 release. In particular it improved Mime4j ability to deal with |
| malformed data streams including those intentionally crafted to cause |
| excessive CPU and memory utilization that can lead to DoS conditions. |
| |
| The 0.6 release brought another round of API enhancements and performance |
| optimizations. As of this release Mime4j requires a Java 1.5 compatible |
| runtime. |
| |
| The 0.7 release brings another round of API enhancements, bug fixes and performance optimizations. |
| A major effort has been put in code reorganization, separating parsing code from DOM manipulation |
| code. Mime4J has been restructured into three separate modules: 'core', 'dom' and 'storage'. |
| The 'core' package provides an event-driven SAX style parser that relies on a callback mechanism |
| to report parsing events such as the start of an entity header the start of a body, etc. |
| The 'dom' package contains base/abstract classes and interfaces for MIME-DOM manipulation aiming |
| to provide the base for a full featured traversable DOM. Per default the Mime4J DOM builder stores |
| content of individual body parts in memory. The 'storage' package provides support for more |
| complex storage backends such on-disk storage systems, overflow on max limit, or encrypted storage |
| through JSSE API. |
| |
| The next release will be version 0.8. As of this release Mime4j requires a Java 1.6 compatible |
| runtime. |
