Hi all,

I just pushed Mail 2.2.1.  ActionMailer edge now depends on 2.2.1 as well.

  gem install mail

Or in your Gemfile:

  gem "mail"

This release incorporates a bunch of code submissions from the Mail community, 
it was simply awesome to see so many great changes and updates from all the 
forks on github.  I have pulled most of the changes and there are more awesome 
ones in the wings.  All in all, 7 different coders contributed to this release!

Highlights of this release are updates from Lars Pind who got stuck into the 
encoding and decoding of header fields.  The job he did has improved Mail's 
speed a lot in this area using some intelligent optimisation, but kudos to him. 
 Eric Kidd also did a lot of work in this area and helped update the git 
repository so that you can now properly use it with bundler pointing at the git 
source.  Thanks to all the other contributors as well!

The new gem is now on Rubygems.org.. it is backwards compatible with the only 
real change is that Mail will now encode whole lines of text instead of 
breaking it down to individual words and encoding them separately.   This is a 
speed improvement and you probably won't notice this as the decoded results 
stay the same.

Changelog from 2.2.0 is:

* Fixed Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9.x incompatibilities because we were using 
each_with_index and each_line
* Redid the folding to make it much much faster for long strings (the old one 
really crumbled with headers longer than 100,000 characters (Lars Pind 
<[email protected]>)
* Mail now only returns one encoded-word per line (Lars Pind <[email protected]>)
* Fixed all the previous issues with extra white-space and an extra = at the 
end of the encoded-words. (Lars Pind <[email protected]>)
* Make sure we can handle decoding of very long strings efficiently (Lars Pind 
<[email protected]>)
* Handle setting of charset through []= method, so we don't get the warning 
(Lars Pind <[email protected]>)
* Remove the trailing =\n that pack('M') adds (Lars Pind <[email protected]>)
* Handle multiple quoted words in Encodings.unquote_and_convert_to (Eric Kidd 
<[email protected]>)
* Ruby 1.9: mark source encoding so it's usable with -Ks, -Ke, etc (Jeremy 
Kemper <[email protected]>)
* Add #include? to mail body for convenience (Maxim Chernyak 
<[email protected]>)
* Use Mail::TestMailer.deliveries in README example (John Trupiano 
<[email protected]>)
* Allow bundler to automatically build a gem directly from git (Eric Kidd 
<[email protected]>)
* Added recursive parsing of attachments inside message/rfc822 parts (Ubiratan 
Pires Alberton <[email protected]>)
* Adding #inline_content_id for attachments and parts (mikel)
* Updating readme (mikel)

Enjoy!
