The 0.7 release brings another round of API enhancements, bug fixes and
performance optimizations.
A major effort has been put in code reorganization, separating parsing code
from DOM manipulation
-code. Mime4J 0.7 introduces the "dom" package collecting base/abstract classes
and interfaces for
-MIME-DOM manipulation aiming to provide the base for a full featured
traversable DOM.
-Mime4J 0.7 improve support for headless messages, malformed separation between
headers and body
-and adds support for "obsolete" rfc822 syntax (e.g: "Header<somespace>: "
style).
-Parsing performance for quoted printable streams have been considerably
improved.
-A "DecodeMonitor" object has been introduced in most code to define how to
deal with malformed
-input (Lenient vs Strict behaviours).
+code. Mime4J has been restructured into three separate modules: 'core', 'dom'
and 'storage'.
+The 'core' package provides an event-driven SAX style parser that relies on a
callback mechanism
+to report parsing events such as the start of an entity header the start of a
body, etc.
+The 'dom' package contains base/abstract classes and interfaces for MIME-DOM
manipulation aiming
+to provide the base for a full featured traversable DOM. Per default the
Mime4J DOM builder stores
+content of individual body parts in memory. The 'storage' package provides
support for more
+complex storage backends such on-disk storage systems, overflow on max limit,
or encrypted storage
+through JSSE API.

is desired.
Upgrade Notes
-------------
- * The defualt field parsing logic has been moved from AbstractField to
DefaultFieldParser.
- * many classes have been moved from org.apache.james.mime4j.parser to
- org.apache.james.mime4j.stream package (ContentHandler,
DefaultBodyDescriptor, RawField..)
+ * The default field parsing logic has been moved from AbstractField to
DefaultFieldParser.
+ * Low level MIME stream classes have been moved from
org.apache.james.mime4j.parser to
+ org.apache.james.mime4j.stream package (Field, RawField, MimeTokenStream,
...)
* "dom" classes/interfaces have been moved from the .message and .field
package to the .dom
package tree.
* The method decodeBaseQuotedPrintable() of class
o.a.j.mime4j.codec.DecoderUtil has been renamed
