* Changes in FLIM 1.12
** Restructure of field decoding features
Introduce backend mechanism of field-decoder and
field-presentation-method to restructure field decoding features.
Field-decoder is registered into variable `mime-field-decoder-alist'.
Each decoding function uses decoding method found from variable
`mime-field-decoder-alist'.
New function `mime-set-field-decoder' is added to register field
decoding method.
New function `mime-find-field-presentation-method' is added to get
`field-presentation-method' object corresponding with specified
field-presentation-mode. Field-presentation-mode must be `plain',
`wide', `summary' or `nov'.
New function `mime-find-field-decoder' is added to find field decoding
method corresponding with field-name and field-presentation-mode.
New function `mime-decode-field-body' is added. It is general field
decoder.
** Function `mime-decode-header-in-buffer'
Renamed from `eword-decode-header'. `eword-decode-header' is defined
as obsolete alias.
** New function `mime-decode-header-in-region'
** Changes about lexical-analyzers
*** New user option `std11-lexical-analyzer'
Now function `std11-lexical-analyze' refers user option
`std11-lexical-analyzer'.
*** User option `eword-lexical-analyzers' -> `eword-lexical-analyzer'
User option `eword-lexical-analyzers' was renamed to
`eword-lexical-analyzer'.
*** Change interface of lexical-analyzers
Interface of function `eword-lexical-analyze' was changed from
`(string &optional must-unfold)' to `(string &optional start
must-unfold)'. Interface of lexical analyzer specified by user option
`eword-lexical-analyzer' was changed likewise.
Function `eword-extract-address-components' was added new optional
argument `START' to specify start position of `STRING' to parse.
Function `std11-lexical-analyze' was added new optional arguments
`ANALYZER' to specify lexical-analyzer and `START' to specify start
position of `STRING' to analyze.
Interface of lexical analyzers for STD 11 was changed from `(string)'
to `(string &optional start)'.
** Function `std11-parse-in-reply-to' -> `std11-parse-msg-ids'
Rename function `std11-parse-in-reply-to' to `std11-parse-msg-ids'.
Function `std11-parse-in-reply-to' was defined as obsolete alias.
** New function `std11-parse-msg-id-string'
** New function `std11-parse-msg-ids-string'
** New function `mime-find-entity-from-content-id'
** New function `mime-parse-msg-id'
** New function `mime-uri-parse-cid'
** New generic function `mime-insert-entity'
Add new generic function `mime-insert-entity' to insert header and
body of ENTITY at point.
Each mm-backend must have new method `insert-entity'.
** New optional argument of `std11-field-end'
Now `std11-field-end' can accept new optional argument BOUND. Thus
current interface is:
std11-field-end (&optional BOUND)
If the optional argument BOUND is specified, it bounds the search; it
is a buffer position.
* Changes in FLIM 1.11
** New function `mime-insert-text-content'
Add new generic function `mime-insert-text-content' and new mm-service
`insert-text-content'.
** `insert-decoded-header' -> `insert-header'
mm-service `insert-decoded-header' was renamed to `insert-header'.
Similarly generic function `mime-insert-decoded-header' was renamed to
`mime-insert-header'. However `mime-insert-decoded-header' was left
as an obsolete alias.
** Behavior change of `mime-insert-header'
Each field-name of second and third argument of function
`mime-insert-header' can include `:'.
** Abolish variable `mime-temp-directory'
Now FLIM uses `temporary-file-directory' instead of
`mime-temp-directory'. So environment variable "MIME_TMP_DIR" and
"TM_TMP_DIR" are not effective to specify temporary directory of FLIM.
** Add new function `eword-decode-and-unfold-unstructured-field'
** Add new mm-backend `generic'
Add new mm-backend `generic'. mm-backend `buffer' inherits the
mm-backend `generic'.
** Change internal representation of `mime-entity' structure
Internal representation of `mime-entity' structure was changed to add
NOV entries.
** `mime-entity-*-internal' and `mime-entity-set-*-internal'
Change `mime-entity-*-internal' and `mime-entity-set-*-internal' to
macro.
