This library allows for the identification of a file's likely MIME content
type. This is release 1.24, adding and updating a few MIME types and fixing
some issues with documentation.
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 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
tracks the {IANA registry}[http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/]
({ftp}[ftp://ftp.iana.org/assignments/media-types]) with some unofficial types
added from the {LTSW collection}[http://www.ltsw.se/knbase/internet/mime.htp]
and added by the users of MIME::Types.
Changes:
## 1.24 / 2013-08-14
* Code Climate:
* Working on improving the quality of the mime-types codebase through the use
of Code Climate. https://codeclimate.com/github/halostatue/mime-types
* Simplified MIME::Type.from_array to make more assumptions about assignment.
* Documentation:
* LeoYoung <mrleoyoung@gmail.com> pointed out that the README.rdoc contained
examples that could never possibly work because MIME::Types#[] returns (for
all the versions I have handy) an array, not a single type. I have updated
README.rdoc to reflect this.
* Removed Nokogiri as a declared development dependency. It is still required
if you're going to use the IANA parser functionality, but it is not necessary
for most development purposes. This has been removed to ensure that Travis CI
passes on Ruby 1.8.7.
* New MIME Types:
* 7zip (application/x-7z-compressed). Fixes a request by kodram.
https://github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/32
* application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Fixes a request by alexkwolfe.
https://github.com/halostatue/mime-types/issues/39
* Various new MIME types from IANA:
* application/mbms-schedule\+xml from 3GPP and Turcotte.
* application/provenance\+xml from W3C and Herman.
* application/session-info from 3GPP and Firmin.
* application/urc-grpsheet\+xml, application/urc-targetdesc\+xml,
application/uisocketdesc\+xml from Zimmermann.
* application/api\+json from Klabnik.
* application/vnd.etsi.pstn\+xml from Han and Belling.
* application/vnd.fujixerox.docuworks.container from Tashiro.
* application/vnd.windows.devicepairing from Dandawate.
* video/vnd.radgamettools.bink and video/vnd.radgamettools.smacker from
Andersson.
* Updated MIME Types:
* RFC 6960 was adopted (application/ocsp-request and application/ocsp-response).
