Because of unix/Win32 file differences, the test file fun.txt, used in
10
the t\Decoder.t test, is different when the distribution is unpacked
11
with the cygwin tar/gunzip tools compared to when Winzip is used
12
(using the default options). The one created with Winzip is the one to
13
use to pass the tests.

MAJOR CHANGES FROM 3.0 TO 4.0:
20
FileHandle::tmpfile is no longer emulated if you have Perl5.004,
21
which has fixed the tmpfile() problem; you should (especially
22
if running under Win32) get Perl5.004 ASAP. Otherwise, the
23
fairly-portable (if ugly) opendup() emulation is hardcoded.
26
MIME::Latin1 is deprecated.
28
MIME::IO is deprecated; its functionality has been replaced
29
by the IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Wrap modules.
30
You will need these to run the toolkit.
32
New encodings x-uuencode (x-uu) and x-gzip64
35
MIME::Decoder has been split into a tree of modules.
38
The '7bit' and '8bit' encoders now merely warn of transgressions;
39
'7bit' no longer uses the deprecated MIME::Latin1.
41
The 'quoted-printable' decoder now uses the newest MIME::QuotedPrint,
42
and amends its output with guideline #8 from RFC2049 (From/.).
45
Output format is slightly-different (but more sensible)
46
if you use parse_nested_messages() or have singlepart entities
48
See MIME::Entity::print for details.
50
As of 4.112, MIME::Entity::print_body recurses for multipart
51
entities: this is more convenient and less surprising.
54
All toolkit warnings may be turned off with config 'QUIET'.
55
See MIME::ToolUtils for details.

MAJOR CHANGES FROM 1.0 TO 2.0:
61
As of MIME-tools 2.0...
63
MIME::Head is a subclass of Mail::Header
64
MIME::Entity is a subclass of Mail::Internet
66
If you are upgrading from the MIME-parser 1.0 package, and you used
67
these module directly, you may notice some warnings about deprecated
68
constructs in your code... much your stuff should (hopefully)
69
still work... you'll just see a lot of warnings.
71
There are some true incompatibilities between MIME::Head 1.0 and
72
Mail::Header. Please read the full documentation before proceeding!
