TMail - Mail Handling Library for Ruby
TMail is the Ruby Mail handler used in the Ruby on Rails and Nitro web
frame works as well as many others (now including, the Ruby T. mail
gateway!).
TMail is now a gem. You can install it on any platform via:
gem install tmail
Alternatively you can download the source code or view extra
documentation at the website:
Release Summary:
TMail 1.2.2 is now compatible with Ruby 1.9 - all tests pass for both
Ruby 1.9 and Ruby 1.8.6. Please test and report back any errors.
1.2.2 also brings DOCUMENTATION (yes, in capitals) revamped README,
and simplified documentation means that now you can fire up your Gem
server and view the TMail RDocs without having the schedule a 3 hour
break from your work to try and decipher them. I have done a lot of
documentation (several thousand lines in total) however there is a
more to go and I would like any contributions out there
You can also now view the RDocs online at
http://tmail.rubyforge.org/rdoc/
Also created a Contributing to TMail page at
http://tmail.rubyforge.org/contributing/ for those of you who want to
help but are not sure how.
Rails 2.0 now has a feature where it will use the gem version of TMail
if it detects a higher version than 1.2.1. So anyone on Rails 2.0 can
upgrade to TMail 1.2.2 by simply doing gem install tmail and then
restarting their server. Rails Edge will have the final TMail 1.2.2
changes merged in in the next few days.
Nitro users can simple gem install tmail to get the upgrade.
Additionally, several bugs were fixed from the tracker (see details
below)
One set of API changes:
base64_encode and base64_decode have been renamed to base64_encode!
and base64_decode! as they were destructive on the receiver.
base64_encode and base64_decode have been created to be
non-destructive on the receiver.
Other than the API change, TMail should be API compatible with TMail
1.2.0
