{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 next release will be version 0.7. The main focus of the development
efforts will be on optimization of MIME header parsing and further
enhancement of DOM capabilities.
