6 ** Restructure of field decoding features
8 Introduce backend mechanism of field-decoder and
9 field-presentation-method to restructure field decoding features.
11 Field-decoder is registered into variable `mime-field-decoder-alist'.
12 Each decoding function uses decoding method found from variable
13 `mime-field-decoder-alist'.
15 New function `mime-set-field-decoder' is added to register field
18 New function `mime-find-field-presentation-method' is added to get
19 `field-presentation-method' object corresponding with specified
20 field-presentation-mode. Field-presentation-mode must be `plain',
21 `wide', `summary' or `nov'.
23 New function `mime-find-field-decoder' is added to find field decoding
24 method corresponding with field-name and field-presentation-mode.
26 New function `mime-decode-field-body' is added. It is general field
30 ** Function `mime-decode-header-in-buffer'
32 Renamed from `eword-decode-header'. `eword-decode-header' is defined
36 ** New function `mime-decode-header-in-region'
39 ** Changes about lexical-analyzers
41 *** New user option `std11-lexical-analyzer'
43 Now function `std11-lexical-analyze' refers user option
44 `std11-lexical-analyzer'.
47 *** User option `eword-lexical-analyzers' -> `eword-lexical-analyzer'
49 User option `eword-lexical-analyzers' was renamed to
50 `eword-lexical-analyzer'.
53 *** Change interface of lexical-analyzers
55 Interface of function `eword-lexical-analyze' was changed from
56 `(string &optional must-unfold)' to `(string &optional start
57 must-unfold)'. Interface of lexical analyzer specified by user option
58 `eword-lexical-analyzer' was changed likewise.
60 Function `eword-extract-address-components' was added new optional
61 argument `START' to specify start position of `STRING' to parse.
63 Function `std11-lexical-analyze' was added new optional arguments
64 `ANALYZER' to specify lexical-analyzer and `START' to specify start
65 position of `STRING' to analyze.
67 Interface of lexical analyzers for STD 11 was changed from `(string)'
68 to `(string &optional start)'.
71 ** Function `std11-parse-in-reply-to' -> `std11-parse-msg-ids'
73 Rename function `std11-parse-in-reply-to' to `std11-parse-msg-ids'.
74 Function `std11-parse-in-reply-to' was defined as obsolete alias.
77 ** New function `std11-parse-msg-id-string'
80 ** New function `std11-parse-msg-ids-string'
83 ** New generic function `mime-insert-entity'
85 Add new generic function `mime-insert-entity' to insert header and
86 body of ENTITY at point.
88 Each mm-backend must have new method `insert-entity'.
91 * Changes in FLIM 1.11
93 ** New function `mime-insert-text-content'
95 Add new generic function `mime-insert-text-content' and new mm-service
96 `insert-text-content'.
99 ** `insert-decoded-header' -> `insert-header'
101 mm-service `insert-decoded-header' was renamed to `insert-header'.
102 Similarly generic function `mime-insert-decoded-header' was renamed to
103 `mime-insert-header'. However `mime-insert-decoded-header' was left
104 as an obsolete alias.
107 ** Behavior change of `mime-insert-header'
109 Each field-name of second and third argument of function
110 `mime-insert-header' can include `:'.
113 ** Abolish variable `mime-temp-directory'
115 Now FLIM uses `temporary-file-directory' instead of
116 `mime-temp-directory'. So environment variable "MIME_TMP_DIR" and
117 "TM_TMP_DIR" are not effective to specify temporary directory of FLIM.
120 ** Add new function `eword-decode-and-unfold-unstructured-field'
123 ** Add new mm-backend `generic'
125 Add new mm-backend `generic'. mm-backend `buffer' inherits the
126 mm-backend `generic'.
129 ** Change internal representation of `mime-entity' structure
131 Internal representation of `mime-entity' structure was changed to add
135 ** `mime-entity-*-internal' and `mime-entity-set-*-internal'
137 Change `mime-entity-*-internal' and `mime-entity-set-*-internal' to
143 paragraph-separate: "[
\f]*$"
