(As noted below, strings passed to datasend() + should always be encoded first, and therefore not stored in such a state + anyway, but it is all too easy for perl to change this internal state + unless the encodeing is done at the very last minute before calling + datasend(), so it helps if datasend() plays more nicely in this case. In + particular, it was wrong of datasend() to treat upgraded and downgraded + strings differently when their contents were identical at the Perl level.) + + This bugfix results in a breaking change to the case of a "text string" + with characters in U+0080..U+00FF stored internally in an upgraded state + since those characters are likewise no longer encoded to UTF-8 by + datasend(), but callers of datasend() should not have been relying on this + behaviour anyway: In general, datasend() has no idea what encoding is + required for output so callers should always encode the data to be output + to whatever encoding is required first. This has now been clarified in + the documentation. + + Finally, a text string with characters >= U+0100 will now cause a "Wide + character in print" warning from datasend() since such characters cannot + be output as bytes and datasend() no longer encodes to UTF-8. In this + case, UTF-8 bytes will still be output as before since that happens to be + the internal representation of such characters, but the warning is new. + Callers should heed this warning and encode such strings to whatever + encoding is required before calling datasend(), as noted above. + + [Ricardo Signes, CPAN RT#104433] + +3.06 2015-04-01 + + - Fixed INSTALLDIRS to account for the @INC reordering change in Perl 5.12. + See Perl RT#116479 for details. (libnet entered the perl core in Perl + 5.7.3 so that's what the lower bound of the check should strictly be, but + since we only support Perl 5.8.1 and higher anyway it suffices to check + for Perl 5.8. The upper bound is correctly Perl 5.11.0 since the @INC + reordering change in question (Perl core commit #b9ba2fadb1) first + appeared in Perl 5.11.0.) [CPAN RT#103238] + + - Fixed Net::FTP authorize() method, which incorrectly interpreted the + return value of the _RESP() method and falsely reported a failure. [Troy + Loveday, CPAN RT#48532] + + - Added optional SendHello argument to Net::SMTP->new() to allow preventing + the EHLO/HELO command from being automatically sent by the constructor. + [Danil Onishchenko, PR#13] + +3.05 2015-01-12 + + - Fixed infinite loop in Net::SMTP::auth().
