Mime-types 1.23 Released

Ruby
1

mime-types version 1.23 has been released!

This library allows for the identification of a file’s likely MIME
content
type. This is release 1.23 that adds the ability to enumerate over the
collection of MIME types and updates the sources of a few MIME types.
The
identification of MIME content type is based on a file’s filename
extensions.

MIME types are used in MIME-compliant communications, as in e-mail or
HTTP
traffic, to indicate the type of content which is transmitted.
MIME::Types
provides the ability for detailed information about MIME entities
(provided as
a set of MIME::Type objects) to be determined and used programmatically.
There
are many types defined by RFCs and vendors, so the list is long but not
complete; don’t hesitate to ask to add additional information. This
library
follows the IANA collection of MIME types (see below for reference).

MIME::Types for Ruby was originally based on and synchronized with
MIME::Types
for Perl by Mark Overmeer, copyright 2001 - 2009. As of version 1.15,
the data
format for the MIME::Type list has changed and the synchronization will
no
longer happen.

MIME::Types is built to conform to the MIME types of RFCs 2045 and 2231.
It
follows the official {IANA
registry}[Media Types]
({ftp}[ftp://ftp.iana.org/assignments/media-types]) with some unofficial
types
added from the the {LTSW
collection}[http://www.ltsw.se/knbase/internet/mime.htp].
