I've been making significant progress on a new version of mime-types. My
original plan had been to finish it by the end of September, but now I expect
to have it finished by the end of October pending some extra eyes on the code.
(I may have to revisit parts of the deprecation decisions I've made, because it
appears that some people use or are advised to use MIME::Type.from_array.)
There are some breaking API changes—mostly in internal housekeeping features
and other features marked experimental, but the most important API change is
that mime-types 2.0 no longer supports Ruby 1.8.
If this matters, you need to change your gem specification for mime-types from
`>=` to `~>` in the next week or so, or there will be ruin on your deployed
projects. I've already heavily integrated features that are Ruby 1.9-only, and
Ruby 1.8 is now officially out of support. There will be no turning back, and I
will not be providing data updates to the mime-types 1.x series moving forward.
