Rails 3.0.1 (October 15, 2010)

• No Changes, just a version bump.

Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010)

• subject is automatically looked up on I18n using mailer_name and action_name as scope as in t(".subject") JK

• Changed encoding behaviour of mail, so updated tests in actionmailer and bumped mail version to 2.2.1 ML

• Added ability to pass Proc objects to the defaults hash ML

• Removed all quoting.rb type files from ActionMailer and put Mail 2.2.0 in instead ML

• Lot of updates to various test cases that now work better with the new Mail and so have different expectations

• Added interceptors and observers from Mail ML

  ActionMailer::Base.register_interceptor calls Mail.register_interceptor
  ActionMailer::Base.register_observer calls Mail.register_observer
  

• Mail::Part now no longer has nil as a default charset, it is always set to something, and defaults to UTF-8

• Added explict setting of charset in set_fields! method to make sure Mail has the user defined default

• Removed quoting.rb and refactored for Mail to take responsibility of all quoting and auto encoding requirements for the header.

• Fixed several tests which had incorrect encoding.

• Changed all utf-8 to UTF-8 for consistency

• Whole new API added with tests. See base.rb for full details. Old API is deprecated.

• The Mail::Message class has helped methods for all the field types that return 'common' defaults for the common use case, so to get the subject, mail.subject will give you a string, mail.date will give you a DateTime object, mail.from will give you an array of address specs (mikel@test.lindsaar.net) etc. If you want to access the field object itself, call mail[:field_name] which will return the field object you want, which you can then chain, like mail[:from].formatted

• Mail#content_type now returns the content_type field as a string. If you want the mime type of a mail, then you call Mail#mime_type (eg, text/plain), if you want the parameters of the content type field, you call Mail#content_type_parameters which gives you a hash, eg {'format' => 'flowed', 'charset' => 'utf-8'}

• ActionMailer::Base :default_implicit_parts_order now is in the sequence of the order you want, no reversing of ordering takes place. The default order now is text/plain, then text/enriched, then text/html and then any other part that is not one of these three.

• Mail does not have "quoted_body", "quoted_subject" etc. All of these are accessed via body.encoded, subject.encoded etc

• Every object in a Mail object returns an object, never a string. So Mail.body returns a Mail::Body class object, need to call #encoded or #decoded to get the string you want.

• Mail::Message#set_content_type does not exist, it is simply Mail::Message#content_type

• Every mail message gets a unique message_id unless you specify one, had to change all the tests that check for equality with expected.encoded == actual.encoded to first replace their message_ids with control values

• Mail now has a proper concept of parts, remove the ActionMailer::Part and ActionMailer::PartContainer classes

• Calling #encoded on any object returns it as a string ready to go into the output stream of an email, this means it includes the \r\n at the end of the lines and the object is pre-wrapped with \r\n\t if it is a header field. Also, the "encoded" value includes the field name if it is a header field.

• Attachments are only the actual attachment, with filename etc. A part contains an attachment. The part has the content_type etc. So attachments.last.content_type is invalid. But parts.last.content_type

• There is no idea of a "sub_head" in Mail. A part is just a Message with some extra functionality, so it just has a "header" like a normal mail message
