Revision history for Perl extension File::MimeInfo. 0.8 Wed Oct 22 2003 Seems that the new version of the mime-info spec takes longer then I expected, so I decided to release last weeks bug fixes. Sat Oct 18 2003 - Fine tuned the method interface for describe() - Made mimetype -d -l .. default to english for missing translations - updated URL's for freedesktop Thu Oct 16 2003 - Fixed small bug in Magic.pm causing a lot of warnings on initialisation when using 'perl -w', reported by Steve Barton 0.7 Fri Oct 03 2003 - Added File::MimeInfo::Rox - ++'ing version number to keep CPAN satisfied 0.6 Thu Sep 04 2003 - Emergency release because of a bug in the magic test file 0.5 Wed Sep 03 2003 - added tests for magic typing - fixed design mistake in the basedir file search all xdg data dirs are now used, not only the first one found - put basedir code in a separate package called File::BaseDir Mon Sep 01 2003 - disabled utf8 binmode layer for perl versions prior to 5.8.0 0.4 Wed Aug 27 2003 - Added the --dir switch. Mon Aug 25 2003 - Added File::MimeInfo::Magic that inherits from File::MimeInfo but also does use the freedesktop magic file - Shifted some code around in File::MimeInfo to make inheriting easier - Made the mimetype script work with Magic by default - Added the --debug switch to trace why a certain file is typed the way it is - Updated and reviewed the documentation 0.3 Sun Aug 24 2003 - Moved file test operator stuff to a subroutine called inodetype() - Actually implemented the --file-compat switch - Added the -L and -i commandline switches for file(1) compatibility - Fixed a few bugs with relative file names Sat Aug 23 2003 - Changed the script 'mimeinfo' back to 'mimetype' because rox has a '--mime-type' switch doing the same thing as this script. - Added the describe() method for getting human readable descriptions - Implemented the commandline switches --desc and --output-format Mon Aug 04 2003 - Changed the script 'mimetype' to 'mimeinfo' - added some commandline options to make this script a little file(1) compat - added some file test operators for determining types from the inode/* class.
